Thread: TRT-testosterone replacement therapy-my journey

Hi

My name is Stephen. I am 34 years old and from England.

4 months ago, I reached the absolute bottom of the rock. I hated almost everything, everything bothered me, I didn't want to be around anyone, including my friends and my family.... even my incredible little 7-year-old son. This is how much depression can affect a person.... it makes me sad to remember what I was like before... what a person I've become.

I am here now, 4 months later, in the strongest mentally stable state I could ever imagine, and I want to share my experience solely in the hope that I can help someone else.

Depression crept up on me slowly, slowly enough that I didn't notice what it was until it was too late. I thought it was related to stress at work, bills, constant work away from home... I thought my depression was just me, the person I grew up with. I accepted that I was an unhappy person and just went on with my terrible life.

Sexual attraction completely disappeared, which in turn gave additional stress with a friend. When I returned home after a week's work, my family found themselves tiptoeing around me in the hope that they wouldn't make me angry. It didn't take long to make me angry, and now, looking back, I'm ashamed of how angry I was over nothing.

One day at work I got a bad headache, shoulder and neck, and it was enough that I just Packed up my tools and drove 200 miles home. By this time I had lost my mind, and my friend and I decided that it was time to get help before this disease took us down.

I went to the doctor and he suggested that I take a course of antidepressants... I said No.

Before I went to see him, I found out that all my symptoms were related to low testosterone levels. The UK is not very quick to deal with low testosterone levels in men, and all the information I found was from the US, where its quite large and advanced treatment.

I asked the doctor to check my blood and check my low testosterone level, I was sure that this was my problem, I knew that if this was the case, then I could answer the question why I was so depressed, so unhappy for such a long time. Looking back now, I would honestly say that I was ill for 10 years. As I have said, depression creeps up slowly, and with me I did not realize that it was taking hold of me.

The day my doctor told me I had low testosterone will never be forgotten.... it was the day my life came back to me.

I started my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which for me was a testosterone gel that you apply daily. I started to feel a little better and now, 3 months later, I feel better. My energy, happiness, strength physically and mentally returned. It was so long ago that I felt so amazing, as if I had a brain and body transplant from an 18-year-old.

But how many people are misdiagnosed with low T levels? Doctors seem to be treating depression with anti-depressant pills in the UK. It seems that from many other male experiences I have read that doctors here are not trained to properly detect and treat low T levels here, which, if true, is very disturbing.

The main symptoms of low T levels are:

* Depression

* Anxiety

* Brain fog, cloudy mental feeling

* Stress

* Irrational thinking and actions

* low sex drive, no sex drive

* low energy level.

* confusion

* Loss of muscle mass

There is a lot of information about low T levels on the Internet for those who want to read a more detailed summary, and if you only have a slight feeling that you may suffer from it, I strongly recommend that you do a blood test and rule it out. It can change your life.

In a nutshell, your level of testerone controls your hormone levels, which is why you end up such a wreck. I thought I couldn't be fixed, but there's no telling what I might have been and was. I am so generous and look forward to taking life head on with everything it can throw at me.

I'd like to hear someone else's low T-experience, and if I can help, I'll try my best.

Ovations.

Because of my low therstosterone level I got a depression, and I have to deal with this somehow, and now, because of the depression, I have ED and I can't have a normal sexual life

I got caught in a depression too a couple of months ago because I had an erectile dysfunction and I could not make my wife happy enough. I was smart enough to understand the consequences of that. I was afraid of the cheating. I thought my wife will cheat me one day. Those thoughts and the erectile dysfunction were the main problem that started my depression. My wife told me that she could help me if I will let her. I had no other chance, and she told me that I can try to use cialis pris to fix this issue of mine. Those pills helped me, and I could make my wife happier. Those pills are brilliant and I don't have any problem with them. You can use them too, if you have issues like I do.

I had an almost similar situation but it had ended not as well as yours

If you have depression or you have a high level of stress, you definitely need to control it, you can do this using the app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wellto...r/id1074367771 . Using a smartphone camera, it monitors your heart rate variability and analyzes the state of the autonomic nervous system, tracking heart rate variability. Simply put, it tracks your body's energy and stress levels.
