I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

I have suffered from chronic suicidality, severe anxiety , OCD, and treatment resistant major depression for over 20 yrs. I commend you so much for never giving up Noah. I'm so happy this rehab is helping you and I wish you all the best. Its so good to have you back.
Are you recovered now or still struggling?
I'm still struggling. Thank you for asking and caring.
@@debbieporter6581 Don't give up Debbie, hope all goes well for you this new year, ☘️☘️
Thank you so much June. Take care
Proud of you Noah. You truly are an inspiration. Remember you matter most!
Glad you're well. Your channel played a big role in getting me clean. Struggle continues. Thank you for everything
Thanks for the reality testing you mentioned. I will pass that along to my son.
I hope the day comes that I can see my OWN son be this open and vulnerable....good on you! 😊
Hi and God bless you
So glad you’re back! Missed you and your videos a lot. Awesome to hear things are going better! Happy New Year!
Blessings 🙏 proud of you and especially for telling your story to help others! Happy and healthy 2021!
So so proud of you Noah you made the right decision and you also made the right choice good job
Noah, I have had my (new) husband watch some of your previous videos so that he can get a better sense of addiction. You are ALWAYS so descriptive and eloquent! Every good wish!
You look great Noah. Praying for you!
Awesome they let you live stream there Noah! Happy New Year! Lets just hope for the best! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞😃👍👍🤩🥰😎
Glad your on the mend dude it’s inspiring to me. I drank last night 😩 every weekend I’m binge drinking, it has to stop. Keep the videos coming, it really helps to see someone going through the same process. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
I am so happy to see you again.
Glad your doing good 🙂
Great to see you are well and sober, Hope this new year is good to us all,. Blessings from Dublin☘️☘️
God bless you
Good to see you Noah! Eye of the tiger, man. ; )
I'm right in your shoes. I could have done videos on how to never drink at TWO different points of life and now I'm feeling completely hopeless and powerless and obsessing over drinking.
I commend you. You are doing such a great job. Good luck to you, take care of yourself!
Always coming back, that's the Noah I know!
I went to Castle Craig rehab in Scotland back in May 2016. AA / NA meetings, therapy, the whole gamut. Saw people there with various types of addictions, as well (food, marijuana, alcohol, I think there were sex addicts there, too). I am also dual diagnosis (depression + addiction) but the subject is way too complicated for me to bother getting into. Enjoy watching your vids sometimes and wish you success.
How was Castle Craig? Did you pay to go? I live in scotand, Ive heard castle craig is very luxurious. Have you stayed clean since?
@@adamhussain6282 I was lucky to be able to use my Dutch health insurance and they completely covered the cost. A year or so later after that I returned to California, where I'm originally from, where I'd never have been able to afford it. I'm not sure exactly how much it was but it besides being a castle it was just basic amenities (bed, food 3 times a day, and rooms for having group discussions / therapy).
You don't really need a Castle Craig just any rehab facility that takes its work seriously will do. And yes I've stayed clean since but that level of commitment has to come from within, from having the support of those closest to you, and from as many AA / NA groups and therapies as you need (I stopped doing that within months of being home but some people still use it for life or for years afterward).
I had to accept that that one sip of alcohol or puff of weed will take me to greater cycles of destruction (which it will). And I also never would have stopped had I not gone to rehab and not been pressured by my partner.
Proud of you, Brother!
Don't expect for easy life's or happy endings....pray to be a stronger man
Hey i just wanna ask anyone who suffers from dpdr. Is it normal to feel as if you dont remember your life before dpdr? Is it normal to feel like you distanced from your loved ones as if someone cut the connection and doesnt feel the same? Please help me.
Check out jordan Hardgrave on yt
@@ROSARYYBOAAA8909 ik for him but i’m just asking
@@Iiivyyh those feelings you described are normal symptoms of dp/dr. By the way. Hope you get the answers and help you need! 🙂
Yes it is absolutely normal. So as horiffic as it is, don't take it personal. Once it goes away, everything you "forgot" and don't "recognize" comes back like you never had an issue. And it goes away in layers. So take solace in this. If everything you feel is actually normal considering the circumstance then there is nothing to be "worried" about. Even though your symptoms are still undeniably there, knowing this gives you a sort of freedom and perspective. And don't kick yourself into oblivion to not think about it. It's there whether you think of it or not. Be kind to yourself when you feel horrible but also be the drill sergeant when you need to be. It's all about balance. And take care of your sleep. It's very important for us dpdr "people" to get 8 hours of sleep. You don't need insomnia or hypersomnia in your life. It goes away differently for all. So it's not about recovering as fast as you can, but to relearn how to be a human being again. To learn how to live life as stable and as normal as you can while having all those symptoms is a big victory. Take it slow and day by day. Eventually the veil will get bored of you and go back to the hole from where it crept from. Slow progress is still progress. I promise, it will be alright.
@@MrGuitarTormentor thank you ❤️
Hey Noah!
Bro do you still do aa ? Practice the 12 steps ?
Wow. So rehab allows live streaming? This is new. How is this approved? Do others there do the same, use phones, etc within the rehab center?
@Richard Long I had always thought that recovery was about working on self, ego included, and that the solitude and the restrictions so that that can be accomplished were set in place for the very best results. I wonder how many others can run their sites and business from rehab. I'm not impressed and I think it's a bad practice.
@Richard Long Oh sure. I get that. It just blew me away a little. I appreciate your input and response. Truly. Otherwise, how are YOU doing? I just celebrated 20 years early January 2021.
@Richard Long , good for you. I relapsed back in 1996 and it took me 5 years of one year, then two, then one until I got truly willing. Did my first real first step in 2001 and have never looked back. These are tough times to get sober so more power to you. I am rooting for you. I KNOW it can be done. Bravo to your sobriety. Your body will thank you. So will people in your life.
Hi
I was taking ssri and stopped to binge drink and I’m so messed up now. God I wish they could find out what is wrong with me.
21:23. At the stage where I can't experience a connection through alcohol anymore, the last 'lifeline' has gone. Two weeks without it behind me and the world feels flat and grey, interspersed with long periods of profound unease and pain. Feel disconnected from everything. Have truly lost my Self. Will carry on without it (the plonk) because that's all there is left, but the hopelessness I feel in my bones and the time I put into just trying to rationalize how I'm not totally f*%*ed is wearing me down fast. Kudos to you Noah.
And to anyone who has a problem with 'the juice', put it down asap (or get help to). There is no bottom to the pit and it gets dark beyond anything your imagination can stir up.

👍👍👍👍
And now what is wrong with the live streaming OK then
Mic Problems
How can you be addicted to alcohol?! It tastes like shit
Hi Noah👋Do you guys have to wear the Mask🙏
hi?
drinking is a choice...choose to not drink. Period.
It’s a choice. But when life problems or depression or anxiety hit people seek it to make them feel good. Idk if you understand what mental problems are? Or addiction.
