Hey man....I am a forty-six year old U.S. Army veteran. I have PTSD, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Avoidant Personality Disorder (among other things). I was born into a very dysfunctional family and was raised in a very shitty part of Chicago (which gave me Urban PTSD-yes, there is such a thing). I also want you to KNOW just how proud of you I am. I am proud of you for taking this huge step in making your vlogs and allowing us viewers into your life and struggles. You are not alone! I wonder why your care providers didn't check your lab results for Low-T. I know that you are a younger man, but it still seems to be something that should not be overlooked. The Low-T could have been why you were unknowingly self-medicating with alcohol. It sounds like the vivisol (?) shot was what your body needed to push you over the edge into the full-blown Low-T symptoms nightmare. One thing I have had to learn over the years is that our bodies begin to fall apart a lot sooner than we are led to believe. I didn't think I'd have any issues until I turned fifty or sixty. Nope! Shit started going wrong when I was thirty to thirty-one years old, and it has just gotten worse as I have aged. Please become more realistic with the rules you set for yourself! Become more loving, kind and accepting of the fact that the real you is not your physical body. It is going to start to fall apart over time. I'm at the place now where I have to do about two to three hours of treatments per day for my gout, arthritis (which is even in my hands) etc. on top of showering, shaving, etc. I see myself becoming a slow paced grandpa and I am only forty-six! You are going to have to redefine for yourself what you will now consider happiness and what personal success looks like one day at a time at this new "age and stage" of your life. I hope with all my heart that you can find a loving self-acceptance for all of your strengths and weaknesses. I've ranted long enough. God Bless you man!
Larry. Because the imbecile doctors look at the lab "norms" shown on blood test reports. The scale may show that 300 - 890 is "normal", but that is the normal scale for ALL ages. The idiot doctors do not take age into account, so when they see a 25 year old, even a 50 year old, with a reading of 300-350, they're going to say that the T is "normal". It is not!!!
Maybe you have heavy metals in your body. You need to do a hair test mineral yo check your levels, because mercury and lead and other metals can cause a lot of dieseases.
WILLIAM ROGERS HERE, I,M 48 AND HAVE BEEN SUFFERING HORRIBLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW WITH NEAR EXACT SYMPTOMS THAT YOU SUFFERED FROM, I LIKE YOU REQUESTED TO MY DOC TO DO A TESTOSTERONE TEST AND IT CAME BACK AS 90!!!! THAT,S CORRECT 90!!!! I,VE BEEN ON 400MG PER MONTH FOR 3 MONTHS AND ALTHOUGH I,M NOT QUITE OUT OF THE WOODS I DO FEEL BETTER IN MANY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WAYS, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR YOUR VIDEO I RUN ACROSS AND THAT STARTED ME TO RESEARCH LOW T AND NOW I,M ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY THANKS TO YOU MY FRIEND, GOD BLESS WM ROGERS
WILLIAM ROGERS You would probably feel even better by dividing that dose and injecting 1/4 per week, rather than all of it at once per month. You'll be getting some pretty mountainous highs injecting that much, meaning more estradiol and DHT, and after a few weeks it'll be close to being gone, leaving you back to feeling meh. Best of luck.
Hey man, I've been watching your videos since I got depersonalisation and anxiety in January. After watching your most recent video on drinking again I thought I'd come back here to see the start of your journey. It's good to see how far you've come! Stay strong
It’s 2021 and I wanted to watch your earliest video to see where you really came from. You’ve come a long way hoss. Never stop fighting. When you read this sentence take 3 deep breaths. Love you man.
I am new to your channel as of today. I decided to scroll back through and see how you started your channel. I have to say I rarely every comment on videos but this one is SO REAL I had to say something. Your channel has come a really long way in the years since this video. I havn't seen too many maybe 5 videos of your recent stuff plus this original one. The way that this original video ties in to your development is amazing. I mean development from not only the issues that you are dealing with and have dealt with but also from a youtuber's point of view. You started with honesty. You could seriously do a series for other people who are thinking about starting a youtube channel and give all the advise that you have learned. You have 105k subscribers as of my writing this. Maybe you have thought of this already idk but I'd love it if you started an offshoot channel that just only talks about your youtube journey, what you have learned and a "how to" sort of "create your own youtube channel" thing. I wouldn't mix it in with this channel because your current theme is so valuable you wouldn't want to dilute it. But you could cross promote this channel with the new one. No doubt include this original video compared to your recent ones and do a case study with the new channel about your progress on youtube and insights for others who want to start their own channel. Sorry for the long wind. You are real man. You deserve rewards for what you have done here. I wish you all the monetization success in the world for your channel ( i know that is not the reason you made the channel in the first place but you deserve payment anyway). Stay with it man and stay strong forever!
Sorry to not respond to this, I did not even know it was here. No notification? anyway go and FIND OUT WHAT YOUR T LEVELS ARE right away. That could very well be whats going on and lord know getting your hormones where they should be is extremely important. Hang in there ok!!! You clearly have a strong will to live and fight on so don't let this take that from you!!
Hey man I dont know if u see this since I went already the way back this help me out so much I just started testosterone replace and I am in my 20s and you have no idea how much ur video is helping thank you for being strong and making videos like this I can't wait to see more
hi man, Listen don't worry, I was born with fiberosis testicles, which means basically i have 0% of test except of my ِAdrenal gland that produce only 5% of test of a normal male, I've been of on test treatment for 16 years now, i went through out all the symptoms u had like depression, even lowering test levels will effect my mental states. Am happily married for 11 years now and everything under control, you will be ok man.
Thank you for opening up to the rest of the world about how you feel. mental health and depressions are big part of our lives today and it's really important part of one's life. the world have to start paying attention!!!
Thanks for making this video, man. I came to find your video, as I've been going through a deep depression (plus CPSTD) for the past 18 months. At my lowest point, I was really feeling like i was not living in reality. I was getting suicidal thoughts, but with no desire to act upon them, but was scared that I would end up going it 'by accident' when in a low state. It was then that I decided to get professional help. I started getting psychotherapy last month, and my therapist also suggested that I might have low testosterone levels. Glad to have found your video. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry for his and your suffering. Getting hormone levels back to where they should be will not negatively impact anxiety or depression. Worst case scenario is that it does not help all that much but it will likely offer him and in turn you, some relief. If he has been suffering that long then what have you got to lose? You can always stop if you don't like whats happening. Good luck!!
hey man i just got diagnosed with low T as well and i seriously feel like im watching myself talk in this video.... been a victim of depression and hopelessness for a while now... Anyhow, makes me feel less alone in a weird sense.. good luck to you.
Been there ......tried em all ......SSRI's cannot fix a problem that was never there .....I hate it when Dr.s want to put people on AD's without first doing bloodwork to check other things .....
I just got back on it . Stopped trt afterndoing kt for 5 years . I’ve been suicidal , drinking a ton , insanely low energy and mood swings all day. Back with my family , losing my business and my girlfriend . Everyone with depression GET YOUR TEST CHECKED
Hey guys, I've been suffering from major depression and anxiety for 8 years, but, sadly, I've tried every possible solution, and nothing has helped me. Now, I'm feeling very hopeless, and I'm becoming more suicidal. I think this video gave me one more chance to try. I'll try to be as optimistic as possible, and try this time. Do you think testing Testosterone level worth a try? I'm really in my worst of times. The things that are preventing me from ending my life, are starting to fade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hgh since i was a kid and stop takeing at 18. and 18_30 on test and been off for 2 years and felling really sick depression is up hot flashes fatigue. and feel very weak I will be geting back to the doctor soon
Hey man im so glad i found this. Im 20 and my T levels are 300 ng/dl. Had a full mental breakdown earlier this year, feeling lonely, depressed, massive panic attacks, derealization thinking about suicide which was making me feel like i was going crazy cos im petrified of dying. Got put on cymbalta...got better but i was spending more time around family and friends so im not sure it worked. I didnt wanna be on drugs that fucked with my brain chemistry so i got off. im ok now but still semi depressed. Dr will not accept i have low t despite having the t levels of an 85 yr old. I have purchased clomid illegally and will be taking 25 mgs a day for 6 weeks to hopefully bring my t levels up to a decent level. Apparently a lot of guys have had good results with clomid and the t levels have stayed elevated. Hopefully it is the same for me. All the best bro. Im sure we will both feel better.
Jimmy Rustler did the clomid help you out ? im going to start taking clomid soon after using trt, i been on trt because of low t levels, but would liike to break from it an try clomid
Jimmy Rustler ive done nolva, i did novla cycle for quite a while and my test levels didnt even budge from nolva after checking my blood work, novla doesnt do shit, well atleast not for me, iv never tried clomid tho?
2022 , new subscriber and just wanted to know how your channel started😘 you look cute here man✌🏼the way u talk and the expressions didn’t changed, and I am loving it. Best wishes to you Sir🙏
It really just depends on how bad your low t symptoms are. If you don't feel it negatively impacts your life then perhaps you leave it alone. If it is causing you to suffer then I would do whatever it takes to get that quality of life back up.
My test is 320 and it hasn’t gotten better. I’ve been having bad depression and low libido and no desire for life. I can’t lose weight to save my life and I’ve always been a fit guy. I used to be a super happy active guy with so much drive and desire for life. My prolactin levels are high as well. Hopefully the mri will show something. I’ve never felt like this in my life. I don’t feel like I have that lion in me anymore and it’s driving me crazy. I’m only 26!
Check out the TRT Revolution podcast, listen to the doctors roundtable episodes. Look into talks by Dr. Dr. Neal Rouzier and Dr. Abraham Morgentaler. Most imporantly, GET ON TRT. It will absolutely change your life. Live a healthier, longer, more fulfilling life.
I got my testosterone results and was at a 80 ng/dL level! My doctor said I basically had as much testosterone as a female. Not feeling depressed so much as lethargic and lacking libido. Looking forward to following your journey from the beginning.
Fellas, look into magnesium, iodine and selenium deficiencies (thyroid / endocrine dysfunction) and the HPA axis before being seduced into weekly shots or a daily cream. It's easy to take an iodine pill. But once you start taking testosterone injextions, your balls will shut down - you will lose the ability to make it yourself and you will forever be dependent. Something to really really think about.
I am so glad you founf this out at your age. Imagine your situation x 20 years. I'm 45 and just found out about my T levels. Mine was 68, doc said lowest he had ever seen.I hope this is the answer because I've tried every med you can name and nothing worked at all.
Damn i feel the same thing. Had been feeling down. Then had a panic attack a bit later. and it was down hill from there. I got checked. I'm a healthy 21 yr old. My testosterone is 250ng/dl hoping I can get there
Have you ever been checked for sleeping disorders like Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Most doctors treat symptoms and not the cause. Sleep disorders cause depression, high blood pressure, low testosterone, impotence, mood disorders and that is just the beginning. There is a survey you can find online called the Epworth daytime sleepiness scale. Take the survey it only takes 30 seconds and if you test likely to have a sleep disorder talk to your doctor.
Hey Ive been going thru the same problems you are and my t level is 142 ive been fighting with the pharmacy trying to get my insurance to help pay for the testosterone ive got the ohp insurance from oregon so ill let you know how I feel after I start to document my progress to not on you tube but a personal journal
me too - ten years on psy meds - I had my GP check it because of the symptoms. it was below 100!!!! Have been trying to get my levels right with endo for 2 years. started injections this month.
@@ashleytaylor994 It did help me. It was the underlying cause of basically not being able to get around and do things (stay in my room and not leave basically.) Also, I give myself a weekly shot because other methods led to fast reductions in the amount of T I had in my system which caused all kinds of emotional issues like crying!! (For no reason) I hope you, or whoever you are thinking about, gets the treatment they need. Any more questions let me know. It parallels estrogen loss in women in many ways.
I'm a U.S. Army Iraq Vet, suffering from PTSD and major depression. I've been on anti-depressants for 14 years. I just learned that I have low T hypogonadism. I'm kinda pissed that I'm just now learning this, the VA never tested my blood for T levels. I've had a psychotic episode, and wouldn't wish it on anyone. hope to get started on TRT soon. fuck me, i'm so over this shit.
Sorry dude I know your all your Feelings. My depression has been a all time high since my mom passed away in 2011. I am going to ask my doctor about my testosterone level in July. Thanks
it's one of these things no one will understand unless they go through it, it's powerful stuff, I went through some sort of mental state in the year 2000, still to this date I'm having a problem excepting It was depression, it was just to powerful I mean the unbelievable powerfulness of it was just stupid, at my worst time of it all I was waking up early hours going crazy curled up at the side of my bed crying, I would only stop crying because of the amount of pressure in my head this was going on for five nights, on the fifth night I would awake my eyes opened and as soon as I shut my eyes I felt this powerful thud/jolt in my head after that I carried on sleeping, and then when I awoke that afternoon I was like 40/50% better mentally, I've never been right since, I've been on testogel since 20/1/1016 with very little improvement, it was my daughter aged 7 at the time I believe it was her that saved me from suicide and me being constantly reminded of her from people saying it's her I've got to think about, it was her little distraught face I see when I closed my eyes every night, it must be horrible for a 7 year old or anyone else for that matter to go through the loss of someone they love from suicide.
I’m at rock bottom with my depression atm and had my T checked and it was a 16 so now I have an appointment 2 months from now to see if testosterone shots may help.
Did you have really really low energy? Like ups an down? And moody? My t level is at 310 I suffer through all the symptoms I do have mild sleep apnea doctor said the reason I feel the way I do is because of that. But the extreme fatigue an anxiety along with the mood swings an weight gain is killing me. I’m using the cpap machine trying to any way lol I’m hoping that works.idk if trt will help me or not. I’m 27
My boyfriend went through anxiety, major depression, and depersonalization for a little over 2 years before finding out that he had low T. He recently got a prescription for test, but is worried about it making him symptoms of depression and anxiety come back and get worse. I was wondering if you had any advice that I could give him to help him be more at ease with taking the test. His levels were in the 250 range.
bignoknow ok. How high were your levels of testosterone, before you started testosterone treatment, (in nanograms/deciliter) and how high are your testosterone levels after treatment?
Hi, I also suffer from Low Testosterone. I live in Canada so the medical system is a bit different. I am 38yrs old. Very active in the gym. Hard workouts. So that has helped me. But, Had symptoms of depression,lack of focus, low Libido. Etc. when I go to the doctors He doesn't want to take it serious enough. Even when I tell him about all these symptoms. I have changed my diet. "The fast metabolism" book.I started taking small gel packs of Andro gel. Hope it works???
hey can i email you,you mentioned naloxone and low t,im so confused with it,like can you still take trt and naloxone ,like will it damage theway you produce normal?
does low t cause depression OR depression causes low T ? I've seem that depression is caused by low T when you are depressed for no reason, and when you are depressed because let's say ur closest person died, than depression will cause low T, what do you think about it ?
That's the thing. Which condition started the cycle? It's most likely depression causing low T if you never had low depression before feeling depressed. either way you need to fix both. But which doctor do you start with?
+bignoknow hey man me again can u help by directing me to specialist by looking at my symptoms I have depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety , social anexiety disorder ,obsessive compulsive disorder, agoraphobia, panic dissoder and specific phobia like public speaking, Denationalization ,deralization, and low libido no erection for 5 yers what is the best specialist to contact ? Thanks for taking your time.
Dude, I had the same issue. Feel like crap and extremely suicidal. I took Nebido 4ml (nurse read the label and said I should come back in 14 weeks). This shit only last for 6 weeks before I can take my second shot and as I speak, I'm back into suicidal feelings. I'm going back to the doc tomorrow to figure out what's going on (free testo and total testo tests). I'm pissed!!!
Hey man I’m 18 and have been struggling with depression since I was 16 so it’s been 2 years now but these 2 years have felt like nothing but hell. Depression killed my sex drive and gave me erectile dysfunction. It’s hard being so young with a low sex drive. I don’t know what to do I feel so lost. I was just wondering if you suffered from erectile dysfunction in your deep depression state and if so did you fix it and how
Wow make lot of sense. Me too I have very low T and I'm very depressing because lot of things. I had low Vitamin D that was finally fix and I have on anti depression it ok it make me more talker funny jokes and dirty talk I don't know why but still have hidden this awful depression and I want end my life because everything I feel was nothing and disconnected everything until my male sex also failure I knew something wrong with me so went see my GP doctor blood test and glad found I have VERY low T 0.04. I will soon start treatment...low T is not funny for men yes it is very depression worst if single man alone can easy led to suicidal...yes now I'm struggling against suicidal and crying at night myself to sleep.
I’m 21 rn and my levels came out at 328 and I’m on Clomid to boost testosterone since I’m to young for TRT my doctor said so I’m trying the Clomid and I feel like it’s working
Oh my god I relate to this so much. I do a blood test hopefully this week and will most likely need testosterone treatment. I hope it works, but I have a feeling it will. I've tried so many antidepressants and even ketamine treatments. NOTHING WORKS. I think this is the reason why
is depersonalization disorder when you dont feel your body? like when i look at the surroundings through a reflection it looks real an6d when i look at my face through a view finder, like on my cam program on my computer i feel connected. and that same feeling i have(which is normal) i had when i took a valium once, i could feel my face. is this derealization? is this depersonalization? i got it from smoking weed excessively with bad highs when i was a teenager. im wondering if this is psychosis or dp
At what level could a young man benefit from TRT? I've been on and off depressed since 13 and one time I found out about low T and I had my level measured. I did it three times and all of them where around 475 ng/dl. My doctor says it's fine but I don't believe it. I also got child bearing hips and baby wrists wich make me doubt if my estrogen and test are balanced too. Do you have any idea what could be the deal? I'm at that point where I don't know wheter or not I should believe my own mind anymore.
666lkg666 475 is not optimal but its won't be considered low at all by the medical community. Now, could you benefit from being closet to 800?? Hell yes! Its that shitty in between spot that you are in which sucks. I was 150ng/dl at my lowest draw, a number dr.'s can't ignore. You should for sure get a comprehensive panel drawn to make sure all your blood work from lipids to hormones are in balance. You might be right about the estrogen. Sorry for your struggle bro.
bignoknow Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate that. My doctor won't draw blood test anymore because he think's I'm just being paranoid. I'm ordering my own blood tests now cause I know it's worth the money to find out what's the deal. Now I just hope that I'll ever find a doctor who is specialized in these things since TRT is not really available here in holland (except for an anti-aging clinic that tries to talk people into buying thousands of supplements a day wich I think is a bit over the top.)
***** Or you could just be depressed???????????? there are like million reasons to be depressed dude, low T is just one of them, so yeah, you seem definitely paranoid and obviously just clawing for a easy solution.
Noah: I hope you read this and respond. I commented on a previous Vlog of yours and I'm writing this one because I found out that I may have low testosterone. I'm a forty-seven-year-old man and my recent lab result was 84. A man my age should be 250+. I would like to begin sharing my insights with you since I also have Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety, P.T.S.D. and several other things. I want you to know that I am not a weirdo or freak that you or your wife will have to worry about. I say this because I think that we can really help each other out and, since you don't know me, I need to let you know that my intentions are honest and honorable. I hope you take the chance of sharing your insights and questions with me as I will with you and we can be supportive of each other. God Bless you, sir! Larry R. Parker
How do I find your other videos this made me cry,I feel all the same pain thought I was looking at me.I need to know what happened cause I'm scared those shots and treatments could be just another way for drug companies to make more money while I end up with another twitch I have too live with for the rest of my miserable life.
This is exactly what I’m going thru right now and I wanna die lol I’m going on pellet hormones literally tmrw and I couldn’t be happier to do that makes me feel like that’s gonna be my light at the end of this dark tunnel

Maybe you have heavy metals in your body. You need to do a hair test mineral yo check your levels, because mercury and lead and other metals can cause a lot of dieseases.
pro tip: watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Giovanni Elliot Yup, have been using flixzone} for months myself :D

WILLIAM ROGERS You would probably feel even better by dividing that dose and injecting 1/4 per week, rather than all of it at once per month.

Sorry for his and your suffering. Getting hormone levels back to where they should be will not negatively impact anxiety or depression. Worst case scenario is that it does not help all that much but it will likely offer him and in turn you, some relief. If he has been suffering that long then what have you got to lose? You can always stop if you don't like whats happening. Good luck!!
Why would they not check this from the start? I thought doctors were supposed to test all potential causes before just prescribing pills etc.
They do NOT!!! You better read up on your own condition(s). They do a lot of guesswork, which is often right, but not always.
hey man i just got diagnosed with low T as well and i seriously feel like im watching myself talk in this video.... been a victim of depression and hopelessness for a while now... Anyhow, makes me feel less alone in a weird sense.. good luck to you.
How are you doing now ?
Been there ......tried em all ......SSRI's cannot fix a problem that was never there .....I hate it when Dr.s want to put people on AD's without first doing bloodwork to check other things .....
I just got back on it . Stopped trt afterndoing kt for 5 years . I’ve been suicidal , drinking a ton , insanely low energy and mood swings all day. Back with my family , losing my business and my girlfriend . Everyone with depression GET YOUR TEST CHECKED
This is a great video and brave move to share so other people (men) especially relate to and realise the human connection.
i had a break down late 2011. my behaviour changed, low sex drive, suicide attempts crying etc. im gonna tested for a testosterone levels.
Did you get on trt?
Hey guys, I've been suffering from major depression and anxiety for 8 years, but, sadly, I've tried every possible solution, and nothing has helped me. Now, I'm feeling very hopeless, and I'm becoming more suicidal. I think this video gave me one more chance to try. I'll try to be as optimistic as possible, and try this time.
Do you think testing Testosterone level worth a try?
I'm really in my worst of times. The things that are preventing me from ending my life, are starting to fade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey it's been 4 years now, but just try it, you got nothing to lose
Sometimes I try to ignore it, then I think about and say “damn, this really happening to me”? Then I get more anxious. I have low t around 170
Did you get on trt?
That's very low, hope you talked to a good doctor.
I, too, have all of your issues. Don't worry about the length of your videos, since I would watch them if they were an hour.
hgh since i was a kid and stop takeing at 18. and 18_30 on test and been off for 2 years and felling really sick depression is up hot flashes fatigue. and feel very weak I will be geting back to the doctor soon
Good informational video. Thanks for sharing. I believe Low-T is often mis-diagnosed as major depression and doctors don't even consider the disorder.
Hey man im so glad i found this. Im 20 and my T levels are 300 ng/dl. Had a full mental breakdown earlier this year, feeling lonely, depressed, massive panic attacks, derealization thinking about suicide which was making me feel like i was going crazy cos im petrified of dying. Got put on cymbalta...got better but i was spending more time around family and friends so im not sure it worked. I didnt wanna be on drugs that fucked with my brain chemistry so i got off. im ok now but still semi depressed. Dr will not accept i have low t despite having the t levels of an 85 yr old. I have purchased clomid illegally and will be taking 25 mgs a day for 6 weeks to hopefully bring my t levels up to a decent level. Apparently a lot of guys have had good results with clomid and the t levels have stayed elevated. Hopefully it is the same for me. All the best bro. Im sure we will both feel better.
read my comment above
Jimmy Rustler did the clomid help you out ? im going to start taking clomid soon after using trt, i been on trt because of low t levels, but would liike to break from it an try clomid
Yeah but it sends me mental. Try nolva.
Jimmy Rustler ive done nolva, i did novla cycle for quite a while and my test levels didnt even budge from nolva after checking my blood work, novla doesnt do shit, well atleast not for me, iv never tried clomid tho?
Jimmy Rustler ive heard alota good things about clomid
Thanks for the input my man.
Hey Noah, just wanted you to see how far you have come
Im in a similar situation, young with low-T. These videos definitely help and i want to start videos of my own thanks man!
2022 , new subscriber and just wanted to know how your channel started😘 you look cute here man✌🏼the way u talk and the expressions didn’t changed, and I am loving it. Best wishes to you Sir🙏
Thank you and very true!
It really just depends on how bad your low t symptoms are. If you don't feel it negatively impacts your life then perhaps you leave it alone. If it is causing you to suffer then I would do whatever it takes to get that quality of life back up.
Going to start watching all your videos from here
My test is 320 and it hasn’t gotten better. I’ve been having bad depression and low libido and no desire for life. I can’t lose weight to save my life and I’ve always been a fit guy. I used to be a super happy active guy with so much drive and desire for life. My prolactin levels are high as well. Hopefully the mri will show something. I’ve never felt like this in my life. I don’t feel like I have that lion in me anymore and it’s driving me crazy. I’m only 26!
Check out the TRT Revolution podcast, listen to the doctors roundtable episodes. Look into talks by Dr. Dr. Neal Rouzier and Dr. Abraham Morgentaler. Most imporantly, GET ON TRT. It will absolutely change your life. Live a healthier, longer, more fulfilling life.
I'd not thought about this but its a great idea, thx.
Brother thank you for your videos. They help.
I got my testosterone results and was at a 80 ng/dL level! My doctor said I basically had as much testosterone as a female. Not feeling depressed so much as lethargic and lacking libido. Looking forward to following your journey from the beginning.
Wow... I thought my 200 I had 2 years ago was low. And I had terrible libido problems and erectile dysfunction.
Fellas, look into magnesium, iodine and selenium deficiencies (thyroid / endocrine dysfunction) and the HPA axis before being seduced into weekly shots or a daily cream. It's easy to take an iodine pill. But once you start taking testosterone injextions, your balls will shut down - you will lose the ability to make it yourself and you will forever be dependent. Something to really really think about.
I am so glad you founf this out at your age. Imagine your situation x 20 years. I'm 45 and just found out about my T levels. Mine was 68, doc said lowest he had ever seen.I hope this is the answer because I've tried every med you can name and nothing worked at all.
Damn i feel the same thing. Had been feeling down. Then had a panic attack a bit later. and it was down hill from there. I got checked. I'm a healthy 21 yr old. My testosterone is 250ng/dl hoping I can get there
Start videos for sure man. Share your story and try and help others.
Thanks for share your story with us.
WOW! The Evolution is real with this one
Have you ever been checked for sleeping disorders like Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Most doctors treat symptoms and not the cause. Sleep disorders cause depression, high blood pressure, low testosterone, impotence, mood disorders and that is just the beginning. There is a survey you can find online called the Epworth daytime sleepiness scale. Take the survey it only takes 30 seconds and if you test likely to have a sleep disorder talk to your doctor.
Hey Ive been going thru the same problems you are and my t level is 142 ive been fighting with the pharmacy trying to get my insurance to help pay for the testosterone ive got the ohp insurance from oregon so ill let you know how I feel after I start to document my progress to not on you tube but a personal journal
me too - ten years on psy meds - I had my GP check it because of the symptoms. it was below 100!!!! Have been trying to get my levels right with endo for 2 years. started injections this month.
Did trt help? Less depression?
@@ashleytaylor994 It did help me. It was the underlying cause of basically not being able to get around and do things (stay in my room and not leave basically.) Also, I give myself a weekly shot because other methods led to fast reductions in the amount of T I had in my system which caused all kinds of emotional issues like crying!! (For no reason) I hope you, or whoever you are thinking about, gets the treatment they need. Any more questions let me know. It parallels estrogen loss in women in many ways.
I am still on meds for my brain btw. :)
How much did this help? And did you feel completely numb at the time you made this video?
I'm a U.S. Army Iraq Vet, suffering from PTSD and major depression. I've been on anti-depressants for 14 years. I just learned that I have low T hypogonadism. I'm kinda pissed that I'm just now learning this, the VA never tested my blood for T levels. I've had a psychotic episode, and wouldn't wish it on anyone. hope to get started on TRT soon. fuck me, i'm so over this shit.
Did you get on trt?
@@ashleytaylor994 yes, i've been on TRT for a couple of years now, big improvements to health and quality of life
Sorry dude I know your all your Feelings. My depression has been a all time high since my mom passed away in 2011. I am going to ask my doctor about my testosterone level in July. Thanks
it's one of these things no one will understand unless they go through it, it's powerful stuff, I went through some sort of mental state in the year 2000, still to this date I'm having a problem excepting It was depression, it was just to powerful I mean the unbelievable powerfulness of it was just stupid, at my worst time of it all I was waking up early hours going crazy curled up at the side of my bed crying, I would only stop crying because of the amount of pressure in my head this was going on for five nights, on the fifth night I would awake my eyes opened and as soon as I shut my eyes I felt this powerful thud/jolt in my head after that I carried on sleeping, and then when I awoke that afternoon I was like 40/50% better mentally, I've never been right since, I've been on testogel since 20/1/1016 with very little improvement, it was my daughter aged 7 at the time I believe it was her that saved me from suicide and me being constantly reminded of her from people saying it's her I've got to think about, it was her little distraught face I see when I closed my eyes every night, it must be horrible for a 7 year old or anyone else for that matter to go through the loss of someone they love from suicide.
I’m at rock bottom with my depression atm and had my T checked and it was a 16 so now I have an appointment 2 months from now to see if testosterone shots may help.
How are you now
Did you have really really low energy? Like ups an down? And moody? My t level is at 310 I suffer through all the symptoms I do have mild sleep apnea doctor said the reason I feel the way I do is because of that. But the extreme fatigue an anxiety along with the mood swings an weight gain is killing me. I’m using the cpap machine trying to any way lol I’m hoping that works.idk if trt will help me or not. I’m 27
Brianna & Bryan T how’s things been man? Dealing with the same problem
Hey noah look how far you've come :)
My boyfriend went through anxiety, major depression, and depersonalization for a little over 2 years before finding out that he had low T. He recently got a prescription for test, but is worried about it making him symptoms of depression and anxiety come back and get worse. I was wondering if you had any advice that I could give him to help him be more at ease with taking the test. His levels were in the 250 range.
Please answer this question for me: How long had you been on testosterone at the time, you made this video? 1 day? 2 weeks? 5 months?
1-5 days.
bignoknow ok. How high were your levels of testosterone, before you started testosterone treatment, (in nanograms/deciliter) and how high are your testosterone levels after treatment?
Hi, I also suffer from Low Testosterone. I live in Canada so the medical system is a bit different. I am 38yrs old. Very active in the gym. Hard workouts. So that has helped me. But, Had symptoms of depression,lack of focus, low Libido. Etc. when I go to the doctors He doesn't want to take it serious enough. Even when I tell him about all these symptoms. I have changed my diet. "The fast metabolism" book.I started taking small gel packs of Andro gel. Hope it works???
hey can i email you,you mentioned naloxone and low t,im so confused with it,like can you still take trt and naloxone ,like will it damage theway you produce normal?
I'm sorry for your suffering. Keep fighting for the solution and hang in there. Visit HEALINGFROMDEPRESION . COM and don't give up.
does low t cause depression OR depression causes low T ? I've seem that depression is caused by low T when you are depressed for no reason, and when you are depressed because let's say ur closest person died, than depression will cause low T, what do you think about it ?
That's the thing. Which condition started the cycle? It's most likely depression causing low T if you never had low depression before feeling depressed. either way you need to fix both. But which doctor do you start with?
how can we start a conversation I could use your help and someone to talk to.
+bignoknow hey man me again can u help by directing me to specialist by looking at my symptoms I have depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety , social anexiety disorder ,obsessive compulsive disorder, agoraphobia, panic dissoder and specific phobia like public speaking, Denationalization ,deralization, and low libido no erection for 5 yers what is the best specialist to contact ? Thanks for taking your time.
go get a therapist and just let everything out..
Dude, I had the same issue. Feel like crap and extremely suicidal. I took Nebido 4ml (nurse read the label and said I should come back in 14 weeks). This shit only last for 6 weeks before I can take my second shot and as I speak, I'm back into suicidal feelings. I'm going back to the doc tomorrow to figure out what's going on (free testo and total testo tests). I'm pissed!!!
Dean Clarke That sucks! Hope you get the right regiment and dosing soon. Hang in there brother.
My test levels came back at 276ng/dl I suffer from anxiety for a while but the doctors wont put me on trt what should I do
Hey man I’m 18 and have been struggling with depression since I was 16 so it’s been 2 years now but these 2 years have felt like nothing but hell. Depression killed my sex drive and gave me erectile dysfunction. It’s hard being so young with a low sex drive. I don’t know what to do I feel so lost. I was just wondering if you suffered from erectile dysfunction in your deep depression state and if so did you fix it and how
You need treatment for PSSD
u did help me Thanks !!!!!
+Victor K I'm glad.
you rock dude.. I think I just found my answer.. what type of doctor do I need to see to get my T levels checked?
Wow make lot of sense. Me too
I have very low T and I'm very depressing because lot of things. I had low Vitamin D that was finally fix and I have on anti depression it ok it make me more talker funny jokes and dirty talk I don't know why but still have hidden this awful depression and I want end my life because everything I feel was nothing and disconnected everything until my male sex also failure I knew something wrong with me so went see my GP doctor blood test and glad found I have VERY low T 0.04. I will soon start treatment...low T is not funny for men yes it is very depression worst if single man alone can easy led to suicidal...yes now I'm struggling against suicidal and crying at night myself to sleep.
Wezilla how u doing man ?
Im 21 I got diagnosed with low testosterone with my levels 180 and was the worst thing I've been through looking forward to starting trt
I’m 21 rn and my levels came out at 328 and I’m on Clomid to boost testosterone since I’m to young for TRT my doctor said so I’m trying the Clomid and I feel like it’s working
How are you now bro
I’m now on TRT feeling a lot better better mood and energy
Oh my god I relate to this so much. I do a blood test hopefully this week and will most likely need testosterone treatment. I hope it works, but I have a feeling it will. I've tried so many antidepressants and even ketamine treatments. NOTHING WORKS. I think this is the reason why
Did it work for you ?
@@larryrobinson1399 It did. Depression is virtually gone. I do get sad, but not crazy depression like before.
is depersonalization disorder when you dont feel your body? like when i look at the surroundings through a reflection it looks real an6d when i look at my face through a view finder, like on my cam program on my computer i feel connected. and that same feeling i have(which is normal) i had when i took a valium once, i could feel my face. is this derealization? is this depersonalization? i got it from smoking weed excessively with bad highs when i was a teenager. im wondering if this is psychosis or dp
patrick denham DP can be a bit different for everyone but I does sound like you are describing it in some ways.
At what level could a young man benefit from TRT? I've been on and off depressed since 13 and one time I found out about low T and I had my level measured. I did it three times and all of them where around 475 ng/dl. My doctor says it's fine but I don't believe it. I also got child bearing hips and baby wrists wich make me doubt if my estrogen and test are balanced too. Do you have any idea what could be the deal? I'm at that point where I don't know wheter or not I should believe my own mind anymore.
666lkg666 475 is not optimal but its won't be considered low at all by the medical community. Now, could you benefit from being closet to 800?? Hell yes! Its that shitty in between spot that you are in which sucks. I was 150ng/dl at my lowest draw, a number dr.'s can't ignore. You should for sure get a comprehensive panel drawn to make sure all your blood work from lipids to hormones are in balance. You might be right about the estrogen. Sorry for your struggle bro.
bignoknow Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate that. My doctor won't draw blood test anymore because he think's I'm just being paranoid. I'm ordering my own blood tests now cause I know it's worth the money to find out what's the deal. Now I just hope that I'll ever find a doctor who is specialized in these things since TRT is not really available here in holland (except for an anti-aging clinic that tries to talk people into buying thousands of supplements a day wich I think is a bit over the top.)
*****
Or you could just be depressed????????????
there are like million reasons to be depressed dude, low T is just one of them, so yeah, you seem definitely paranoid and obviously just clawing for a easy solution.
I am a eunuch and my T is around 0.5 but I enjoy hobbies and have ton of motivation and energy
How did you lose testicles ?
Pituitary problems!
I have hydroelectric causing low to and I feel like I'm dying. literally. I'm scared
Noah:
I hope you read this and respond. I commented on a previous Vlog of yours and I'm writing this one because I found out that I may have low testosterone. I'm a forty-seven-year-old man and my recent lab result was 84. A man my age should be 250+. I would like to begin sharing my insights with you since I also have Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety, P.T.S.D. and several other things. I want you to know that I am not a weirdo or freak that you or your wife will have to worry about. I say this because I think that we can really help each other out and, since you don't know me, I need to let you know that my intentions are honest and honorable. I hope you take the chance of sharing your insights and questions with me as I will with you and we can be supportive of each other. God Bless you, sir! Larry R. Parker
2023 anyone?
How do I find your other videos this made me cry,I feel all the same pain thought I was looking at me.I need to know what happened cause I'm scared those shots and treatments could be just another way for drug companies to make more money while I end up with another twitch I have too live with for the rest of my miserable life.
I had same reaction when I was on trt on axiron 150mg a day extreme dosage. My doctor pretty damn
Are you on trt?
This is exactly what I’m going thru right now and I wanna die lol I’m going on pellet hormones literally tmrw and I couldn’t be happier to do that makes me feel like that’s gonna be my light at the end of this dark tunnel
Im waiting for my t tests results i hope i have low t so i can fight my depression
r Ethiopian
I have been takeing high since I was a kid
Look at the people who have died on that diet. A good balanced diet is all that is needed.
So being suicidal is cause by low test?
1st I saw you 2019 n today 22
You have to get to the point. We know you've had hard times; we all have. Just help people get there. I'm tired of people saying it's
That's not good
