Hey Ben, I hope you realize how much you are helping people who suffer these same systems in this life by being so honest and transparent. You are amazing in sharing your stories. And you have a gift of storytelling.
For me, I realized I had it when I started working. I was such a mess and I used to hide to make work calls on my cellphone instead of the work phone because I didn’t want everyone hearing me screw up. The thing that helped me was when I realized I had confidence issues and I started to work on myself and my growth. Also work forced me to interact with people more and more and now I’m better. I still get anxious but it’s better. I think it’s because we are highly observant people and when you’re observing you can judge yourself harshly. It helped me when I realized I was no less than anyone else. And everyone else is struggling too maybe I don’t see it but it doesn’t mean they’re all aching to be accepted. So now that I see them all like me I judge myself less and just be myself. That voice of judgment is not how everyone else views me, it’s how I view myself. And so ignoring that voice helped me because now I know that voice is full of sh.t
This is perfect man.. I hate feeling like I’m the only one struggling with self imagine and stuff it’s super tough to understand that we all just are trying to survive and do our best
@@NadaAlawadhi That's the truth although I have a small hole in the wall between me and my bosses so we can pass our schedule back and forth between calls so I feel like they are listening to every word I say. I love it when they are on calls at the same time lol
I'm 58 years old and have had social anxiety my whole life. It has gotten better with age. But I have never taken meds for it or any other phycological issue. I'm not a big fan of doctors or meds.
I love how open you are in your videos. I've been fighting social anxiety too and I'm really enjoying hearing your experience and what you've done to help... 😅
Hi Ben, I'm a mindfulness meditation teacher. A restless, agitated mind creates anxiety, fear, confusion, frustration and despair. I just found your video in December, 2024. I would like to suggest that you take yoga and meditation classes and learn to calm your mind and improve mental health. Your attitude will change with calm confidence. Be well, be peaceful, be happy. Hiking in nature is also calming and healing while relaxing in sacred silence. and beauty. Keep smiling.
Coming from a medical professional, the only way to monitor your T levels is through blood work. TRT isn't what your doing if your "doing it yourself". Doctor monitored TRT will be better in the long run along with a high protein low card diet if your chasing a look, which is absolutely fine too.
When i finally states my opinion. My adrenalines kicks so hard lol . I always try to tell myself "you re okay its okay to state your opinion" . Idk man i changed so much . I thought i had it when i was 16 i thought yep my life will be nice but idk its nice now im doing everything i can not to become worst but im worst already you know . I wish i could explain better
You were saying LH and FSH being downregulated from testosterone affected other hormones besides testosterone and estrogen and I thought you were going to mention which ones of those you modified exogenously probably to help get back towards honeymoon phase feeling. Can you elaborate more on what you've done to try and get back that feeling? Do you have in the first 4 to 6 weeks?
Wow I just came across your video on having no friends/social anxiety. We’re the same age, and I recently started TRT, I feel like I’m kinda rambling but it’s just nice to know that I’m not the only one dealing with this. Thank you 🙏🏾
@@krispeteler1351 I started by talking to my doctor about my depression/social anxiety. I mentioned I was also having some other issues with sleep/energy/motivation, and he ran a blood lab. My numbers came back a little lower than the ones in the video so he ran two/three more blood tests over the course of month or two and they still came back low. After that he started me a does of 200mg of testosterone every two weeks. I’ve been doing it for a little over a year and it’s made a huge difference in my mood and overall well being!
i can relate to you so much man im 17 but my whole life i was nervous all the time talking to people but I have found the best thing you can ever do is semen retention and being so uncomfortable in situations that they make you stronger and to the point that you don't care and just live life
my levels were at 1600 and doing Fantastic ....Doctors backed me down to 1044. Now my anxiety has came back a little bit not terrible but noticeable. been wondering if it is because i came down or maybe just because my hormone levels are thrown off.....my anxiety was terrible before i started trt
Have you tried any other compounds? Seems like you could keep the confidence that goes with a high dose while keeping your test to something like 100 mg/week while stacking it with another compound that doesn't have as many sides.
Med student on steps to prevent hair loss: -microneedling, biotin, scalp 'stretching' routine or device -topical inhibition of DHT (a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) -minoxidil -systemic inhibition of dht by oral 5alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride. Dosing less frequently (2/wk) allows for buildup in skin/scalp while decreasing effects on the rest of the body. -last line of defense is a hair transplant I'd say 100% of people can slow down hair loss, most of those can prevent it for a looong time, and many can reverse it. Needling and minoxidil are needed for regrowth, talk to an actual doc, etc. Godspeed and good luck.
CBT and DBT Therapies teaches you skills to manage your social anxiety!!! You needs to change your perceptions on social anxiety in order to know how to handle your social anxiety in a healthy manner. Forcing yourself into really uncomfortable social situations will cause long term trauma. Hard work, putting in the time and learning to properly understand your social anxiety will in the long run help you to live your Best Life Ever!!! Its a Marathon NOT a sprint!!! Good luck to you Ben!!!
it does affect your hair because of when you increase your T levels it increases the dht in your scalp and it causes hair loss, if you take finasteride it's gonna help alot! it decreases dht levels in the scalp by 60 to 70< talk to a dermatologist about it
My Test levels are 300 ng/dl so at the lower Range. I have low libido, Social anxiety and am often tired. Should i hop on TRT with finasterid (to save my hair)
Don't do finasteride it can permanently lower libido. Don't let people tell you it'd placebo it happens to alot of people. Not worth the risk. But I would hop on trt just don't go to high a dose
@@jimmykruzer but hair is life. Im natural right now with low t levels and lm on RU58841 and minoxidil. RU is great. Helps with hair loss but no side effects for me. But it’s not strong enough to compete against TRT. So I need to hop on fuckin fin :(
Hi Ben. What type of testosterone you were taking and at what dose to get that honeymoon period? For it to have such a dramatic effect on your mood if sounds like a sustanon or another short ester.
Soo.. many of us are probably wondering the same thing.. How exactly did you get prescribed TRT for anxiety? Were you deficient? Really connect with the same issues you're experiencing and would like to give it a try.
TRT is going to increase DHT levels which is responsible for destroying hair follicles. You’ll need to either lower the dose or go in finasteride to prevent it from destroying your hair.
fr no problem about being bald honestly. I'd rather feel good and be jacked and bold than have my hair with low test. Being bald is bad for be awful for a woman, not for man in my view.
Dude you gotta be working with a doc on that stuff. Gotta manage blood levels....don't want to have a heartache at an early age. Not saying that will happen but why risk. All people are built different.
If you lower the dose to 140 a week pinning 3 times a week makes sure you don't peek or crash and keeps the covertion to E low and then you keep enough of it which is neuroprotective and the arimidex is toxic for the liver in the long run. #moreplatesmoredates.
Thanks for this video bro. I really relate with my anxiety being so freakin bad. Just trying to talk to people I know including my own family makes me feel super Red in the face and want to just run away. It sucks so bad and I can’t stand the feeling anymore. My Test is at 450 and I’m 20, idk if I should start Trt just yet. I just wish there were other options
Hi @Kooking with Kasper, the social anxiety can indeed be caused by low testosterone. Testosterone plays a significant role in the regulation of dopamine and other neurotransmitters vital for anxiety relief. I have heard cases of people with testosterone levels in the 400s having social anxiety symptoms. Before you proceed with such a big step such as TRT, please first and foremost optimise the following key things which could get your total testosterone 600+ or more. Vitamin D - Ensure you have an optimal amount daily. You may need to take a significant dose at first. Please ask your doctor for guidance. Zinc - This is very important for testosterone regulation. Aim to take 15mg to 25mg Zinc Picolinate as this is the most absorbable form. You may need to take much more to remove Zinc deficiency. Again ask for medical guidance if unsure. Magnesium - Ensure you have an optimal intake of this vital mineral. Cholesterol - Have adequate intake of healthy fats. Sex hormones are made from cholesterol so you must not have a deficiency in cholesterol for optimal hormone production. Sleep - Ensure you get atleast 6+ hours of quality sleep daily. Sleep is the period where the body produces testosterone and other hormones to get you ready for the day ahead. A few other questions: Are you getting morning erections daily ? Strong morning wood on a daily basis is an excellent sign that you have optimal hormonal balance. However, there are reports of people with low testosterone getting morning wood daily. These are the exceptions rather than the norm. Have you got your E2 (Estradiol) measured ? High estrongen/E2 can cause your testosterone production to be suppressed. Loosing excess bodyfat is the best method to optimise your estrogen levels. I completely understand your struggles and I really do pray that you find the cause of your social anxiety and cure it permanently.
Don’t take drugs.. they are demonic and cause more problems.. turn to Christ .. he heals and offers forgiveness of sins to those who truly believe on him .. read the Bible for yourself and let the Heavenly Father speak to your head theoigh his love letter to you. #youmustbebornagain 💜✝️
When doctors says its normal for your age everyone should say it can be normal according to reference range but its not optimal. There is no any reason why 80 years old couldnt have T-levels of 20 years old. With levels of 20-years old he will most likely live more healthy and fulfilling live and also longer life. When I once went to doc and said I have low T he said yea many men have low T. Thats the same thing as someone goes to doc and says I have depression and sucidal thought, yea well many have depression and suicidal thought. Next patient. Take your life to your own hands and get that T what ever it takes if you have low T, living with low T is unfulfilling suffering and shortens your life. But dont take street drugs, they are not what they say they are. There are plenty of countries where you can get T if your country dont understand this stuff.
TRT , but also if you guys want the best outcomes , quit caffeine , take l tryptophan and l tyrosine for neurotransmitters; go animal based and gluten free ! :) my tips
Yes, muscular and hairy. So girls probably don´t want too much of testosterone but it is great for motivation and drive. It´s the happy hormone and gives you a rush of joy. Birth control pills will kill your testosterone.
Ok, so finally I have the answer. I am gonna get a high dosage of TRT. If it's gonna do what he says, after all the years of struggling, but wait, the side effect really sucks. My brother is already going bald but I keep most of my hair, except a bit in the front - the edges or whatever you call it. I have always been afraid of ever going bald, even making jokes like that would be the last straw for me, being this guy with little to no social skills and going bald, that would kill it completely. I would never be able to talk to a woman anymore. Would feel like an old loser having nothing left. It is not that bad if you are already married and settled, but I like to feel young, and that would just mean jumping straight into old age clearly leaving no doubt that I am not this young boy, but an old man, no way to justify being young. A lot of middle-aged confident people just smile and say I feel young despite being bald, but with my shattered confidence, I just wouldn't take it. My brother is married, soon to be a father. Good for him. He doesn't have to worry anymore. But not me.
Not trying to hate at all bro, but take it from someone who has done test in the the past, it’s FAR FAR FAR better to go the natural route. You won’t notice bad effects from test initially but it can cause severe problems in the long run. Physically you can get major hair loss, gyno(man boobs that need surgery to fix), permanent testicular atrophy(no they don’t always bounce back naturally), ED issues down the road, etc. On top of that, people don’t realize the psychological effects that test can bring on down the road. This is actually the worst part. It can lead to horrible depression, super high anxiety, it can actually cause bipolar disorder in certain people, and can even cause psychotic episodes. I say this for your own good man, go the natural route. And don’t listen to other test users who say it’s completely safe. They’re lying to themselves because they don’t want to get off. These are the idiots that talked me into doing it in the first place. Go natural bro
A little crazy high dose trt.....300 a week is good enough i think.....test gives you confidence and for some brings out the DUESH side too lol....better to be safe then sorry
It definitely does, finasteride can have some nasty side effects though. It was making me have panic attacks every night and my libido completely disappeared.
I would be very cautious about using prescription medicine (including T) for an issue like social anxiety. For me, a good mix of counseling/psychotherapy and psychiatry works well for me, and I’d suggest the same for you, but you have to find the right doctors *for you and your needs.* Preferably, doctors that are neutral, will listen and won’t just give you their personal opinion in session, and remember the basic principles of biochemistry! *Especially* doctors that remember their biochem from med school! 😂 No joke bro - I saw a psychiatrist for over 10 years whose response to every problem I had was rudely and smugly giving me her *personal opinion* on everything and suggesting *more and more medication* as the solution to my problems. You don’t need someone like that serving as your doctor - because it will only make matters worse.
@Majnu Bhai hi there thanks for your reply.. that is certanly high that dose lol at 800=1000 ....mine was about 930 or 950.. and was feeling very anxious stressed and angry....
@Indian Munna Minister hello again thanks for your reply...its a good question to ask me that.with a realization that im a builder by trade which is heavy hard work..and i have not bee working for long time.so what you say makes sense now.. also i do ride my mountain bike 3 times a week and walk my dog for 2 hours a day fast...but again due to me not working ,what you say above has caused this then..
@Indian Munna Minister hello mate. yes my estrogen in fine with my recent blood test...my test was at 950! which is high. my job is i am a builder by trade so very hevay hard work..but not had work in a long time so that would make sense...
i’d like to thank you for sharing your experience.. cause i think everyone experience is very important content to share. Still.. if i can give you my opinion (and i please you to get it in a constructive way) when i listen to you i hear a big baby boy with anxiety, confidence and self esteem problems, who jumps on and hormone therapy by himself, completely unconscious of the risk it could represent if done incorrectly, looking just for a fast and easy solution for his problems, pushing up the dose shearching just for some rush, some dopamine spike… worried only about his hair cause “bold head suck”. Wrong or unbalanced testosterone levels is dangerous and not only for you hair… that is really the smallest of the problem. But maybe yes… for someone with zero confidence in himself, being bold can be a nightmare… i understand. If i can give you my suggestion: leave testosterone replacemente therapy for those who really need that, find someone that can help you with your anxiety and confidence, and maybe use a little bit of cocaine when you want that rush and that fearless state of mind for being able to face a social interaction; that would fullfill waay more the goal you’re looking for. 😉
Stop caring about being bald. Just work out and dress nice and no one will care. Some of the most "masculine" icons in modern culture have been bald. Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Sam Jackson, I could list a million more.
@@hanserteam Its not so clear. What about side effects? Hornonal disorders, after all, this also affects to health. Testosterone negatively affects the kidneys. As well as regular visits to the endocrinologist and regular testing will be part of your life..
I don't know Ben, And this is for others as well, Have you ever tried looking deep into your heart? I heard One can know Jesus and that this is where he possibly resides. I mean, he says something like seek me and find me an apparently peoples loves change and there is healing for the soul. This is the answer I believe for all people in overcoming issues in life. By finding Jesus and seeking his guidance and counsel. All the best Ben and everyone.
As a fellow Christian I do agree with you but it’s hard to tell someone that without sounding condescending. When people used to tell me that when I wasn’t a belibeiver it just kind of pissed me off. I felt like they weren’t actually listening to the issue I was having and showing human compassion. Slapping a Jesus bandaid on a problem doesn’t fix the underlying root of mental health issues. Even now that I believe in Jesus, I still need to know what is going on with my mind, in order to know what to pray for

Hi @Kooking with Kasper, the social anxiety can indeed be caused by low testosterone. Testosterone plays a significant role in the regulation of dopamine and other neurotransmitters vital for anxiety relief.
I have heard cases of people with testosterone levels in the 400s having social anxiety symptoms.
Before you proceed with such a big step such as TRT, please first and foremost optimise the following key things which could get your total testosterone 600+ or more.
Vitamin D - Ensure you have an optimal amount daily. You may need to take a significant dose at first. Please ask your doctor for guidance.
Zinc - This is very important for testosterone regulation. Aim to take 15mg to 25mg Zinc Picolinate as this is the most absorbable form. You may need to take much more to remove Zinc deficiency. Again ask for medical guidance if unsure.
Magnesium - Ensure you have an optimal intake of this vital mineral.
Cholesterol - Have adequate intake of healthy fats. Sex hormones are made from cholesterol so you must not have a deficiency in cholesterol for optimal hormone production.
Sleep - Ensure you get atleast 6+ hours of quality sleep daily. Sleep is the period where the body produces testosterone and other hormones to get you ready for the day ahead.
A few other questions:
Are you getting morning erections daily ?
Strong morning wood on a daily basis is an excellent sign that you have optimal hormonal balance. However, there are reports of people with low testosterone getting morning wood daily. These are the exceptions rather than the norm.
Have you got your E2 (Estradiol) measured ?
High estrongen/E2 can cause your testosterone production to be suppressed. Loosing excess bodyfat is the best method to optimise your estrogen levels.
I completely understand your struggles and I really do pray that you find the cause of your social anxiety and cure it permanently.
You dead ?
Yeah do trt, its cheap, no side effects, just keep nolvadex and clomid as emergency pct if there is a zombie apocalypse
@@Supermoi1234You don't need AI's on TRT. You need AI's if you're blasting stupid amounts of steroids.
@@ChristopherMaier. Im talking about pct not ais
Don’t take drugs.. they are demonic and cause more problems.. turn to Christ .. he heals and offers forgiveness of sins to those who truly believe on him .. read the Bible for yourself and let the Heavenly Father speak to your head theoigh his love letter to you. #youmustbebornagain 💜✝️
Can women take the high dose trt
How’s trt two years later
When doctors says its normal for your age everyone should say it can be normal according to reference range but its not optimal. There is no any reason why 80 years old couldnt have T-levels of 20 years old. With levels of 20-years old he will most likely live more healthy and fulfilling live and also longer life.
When I once went to doc and said I have low T he said yea many men have low T.
Thats the same thing as someone goes to doc and says I have depression and sucidal thought, yea well many have depression and suicidal thought. Next patient.
Take your life to your own hands and get that T what ever it takes if you have low T, living with low T is unfulfilling suffering and shortens your life. But dont take street drugs, they are not what they say they are. There are plenty of countries where you can get T if your country dont understand this stuff.
TRT , but also if you guys want the best outcomes , quit caffeine , take l tryptophan and l tyrosine for neurotransmitters; go animal based and gluten free ! :) my tips
What does caffeine do if your on TRT?
Carnivore restores T levels even in much older men . Carbs and processed foods destroy testosterone
Those 2 dislikes are Bald people 😂
You seem like a wonderful feller and I hope your doing very well.. Sober of course
Anyone on this video get anxiety problems on testoserone?
Me not (iam lifetime natty) but this common problem, read about in r/steroids subreddit.
What about for girls? 🤔 Wonder how testosterone would affect us? Would we get all buff? 😜
Yes, muscular and hairy. So girls probably don´t want too much of testosterone but it is great for motivation and drive. It´s the happy hormone and gives you a rush of joy. Birth control pills will kill your testosterone.
so what did you take with your test to feel great?
So what else did you take with test to feel great?
Ok, so finally I have the answer. I am gonna get a high dosage of TRT. If it's gonna do what he says, after all the years of struggling, but wait, the side effect really sucks. My brother is already going bald but I keep most of my hair, except a bit in the front - the edges or whatever you call it. I have always been afraid of ever going bald, even making jokes like that would be the last straw for me, being this guy with little to no social skills and going bald, that would kill it completely. I would never be able to talk to a woman anymore. Would feel like an old loser having nothing left. It is not that bad if you are already married and settled, but I like to feel young, and that would just mean jumping straight into old age clearly leaving no doubt that I am not this young boy, but an old man, no way to justify being young. A lot of middle-aged confident people just smile and say I feel young despite being bald, but with my shattered confidence, I just wouldn't take it. My brother is married, soon to be a father. Good for him. He doesn't have to worry anymore. But not me.
Someone in the comments above said finasteride can reverse the effects of trt on hair loss I think
Bro hair loss is no longer an issue in modern world, use finasteride and minoxidil and you be all good
A four week mdma roll? Haha that sounds exhausting
Great testimony i follow you on Instagram
❤
How did you meet your girlfriend?
Not trying to hate at all bro, but take it from someone who has done test in the the past, it’s FAR FAR FAR better to go the natural route. You won’t notice bad effects from test initially but it can cause severe problems in the long run. Physically you can get major hair loss, gyno(man boobs that need surgery to fix), permanent testicular atrophy(no they don’t always bounce back naturally), ED issues down the road, etc. On top of that, people don’t realize the psychological effects that test can bring on down the road. This is actually the worst part. It can lead to horrible depression, super high anxiety, it can actually cause bipolar disorder in certain people, and can even cause psychotic episodes. I say this for your own good man, go the natural route. And don’t listen to other test users who say it’s completely safe. They’re lying to themselves because they don’t want to get off. These are the idiots that talked me into doing it in the first place. Go natural bro
Fax
💯💯💯
Oh shut up with that BS
Some people have lot testosterone and need it
so whats the natural route
A little crazy high dose trt.....300 a week is good enough i think.....test gives you confidence and for some brings out the DUESH side too lol....better to be safe then sorry
Wow
He looks just like cinnamontoastken...
High dose really messes with your sleep
You could have found out why your natural T was low most likely dietary, now you’re on the TRT train
Add in some orals every now and then like d bol
Make sure u cycle off and on tho.
Don’t be such an absolute tool! Learn what trt is
Finasteride for hair loss
doesnt work
It definitely does, finasteride can have some nasty side effects though.
It was making me have panic attacks every night and my libido completely disappeared.
I would be very cautious about using prescription medicine (including T) for an issue like social anxiety. For me, a good mix of counseling/psychotherapy and psychiatry works well for me, and I’d suggest the same for you, but you have to find the right doctors *for you and your needs.* Preferably, doctors that are neutral, will listen and won’t just give you their personal opinion in session, and remember the basic principles of biochemistry! *Especially* doctors that remember their biochem from med school! 😂
No joke bro - I saw a psychiatrist for over 10 years whose response to every problem I had was rudely and smugly giving me her *personal opinion* on everything and suggesting *more and more medication* as the solution to my problems. You don’t need someone like that serving as your doctor - because it will only make matters worse.
high dose is not good...ok at first then.. get the opposite..ie anxiety emotion and anger...
@Majnu Bhai hmmm I see , so at first when new to TRT start high then down to low for stable levels ?
@Majnu Bhai hi there thanks for your reply.. that is certanly high that dose lol at 800=1000 ....mine was about 930 or 950.. and was feeling very anxious stressed and angry....
@Indian Munna Minister hello again thanks for your reply...its a good question to ask me that.with a realization that im a builder by trade which is heavy hard work..and i have not bee working for long time.so what you say makes sense now.. also i do ride my mountain bike 3 times a week and walk my dog for 2 hours a day fast...but again due to me not working ,what you say above has caused this then..
@Indian Munna Minister hello mate. yes my estrogen in fine with my recent blood test...my test was at 950! which is high. my job is i am a builder by trade so very hevay hard work..but not had work in a long time so that would make sense...
@Indian Munna Minister i have reduced my test by half now as my doc said i was taking to much also....thanks man
Having a bald head is bad lol
Is a patchy neck beard bad?
Asking for a friend.
Someone send this to more plates more dates
He wouldn’t even be able to get through the video he’d be so frustrated
i’d like to thank you for sharing your experience.. cause i think everyone experience is very important content to share.
Still.. if i can give you my opinion (and i please you to get it in a constructive way) when i listen to you i hear a big baby boy with anxiety, confidence and self esteem problems, who jumps on and hormone therapy by himself, completely unconscious of the risk it could represent if done incorrectly, looking just for a fast and easy solution for his problems, pushing up the dose shearching just for some rush, some dopamine spike… worried only about his hair cause “bold head suck”.
Wrong or unbalanced testosterone levels is dangerous and not only for you hair… that is really the smallest of the problem. But maybe yes… for someone with zero confidence in himself, being bold can be a nightmare… i understand.
If i can give you my suggestion: leave testosterone replacemente therapy for those who really need that, find someone that can help you with your anxiety and confidence, and maybe use a little bit of cocaine when you want that rush and that fearless state of mind for being able to face a social interaction; that would fullfill waay more the goal you’re looking for. 😉
Work on it and try to stay away from all kinds of pils...grab yourselfe by the bootstraps! Yes, that will help.
Doesn't sound like it's helped your confidence much you seem to have alot of anxiety about going bald lol
There is NOTHING wrong with TRT, if it's within a healthy range.
High dose trt, just stop man. No such thing as high dose trt. It's called a cycle lol.
Daily injections is the best protocol.
Stop caring about being bald. Just work out and dress nice and no one will care. Some of the most "masculine" icons in modern culture have been bald. Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Sam Jackson, I could list a million more.
At your age and your testicles still working you should have went on enclomiphine.
Enclomiphene often doesn't provide symptom relief even though it does increase total T dramatically.
You say “like”too much.
The bad side of TRT is that inhibits your own testesteron and you became a prisioner of trt for whole youl life .
And? You have to eat for the rest of your life don’t you?
Much better than being a prisoner of low testosterone.
@@hanserteam Its not so clear. What about side effects? Hornonal disorders, after all, this also affects to health. Testosterone negatively affects the kidneys. As well as regular visits to the endocrinologist and regular testing will be part of your life..
@@hanserteam Facts brother. I would much rather deal with the problems of trt than the problems of low T
I don't know Ben, And this is for others as well, Have you ever tried looking deep into your heart? I heard One can know Jesus and that this is where he possibly resides. I mean, he says something like seek me and find me an apparently peoples loves change and there is healing for the soul. This is the answer I believe for all people in overcoming issues in life. By finding Jesus and seeking his guidance and counsel. All the best Ben and everyone.
As a fellow Christian I do agree with you but it’s hard to tell someone that without sounding condescending. When people used to tell me that when I wasn’t a belibeiver it just kind of pissed me off. I felt like they weren’t actually listening to the issue I was having and showing human compassion. Slapping a Jesus bandaid on a problem doesn’t fix the underlying root of mental health issues. Even now that I believe in Jesus, I still need to know what is going on with my mind, in order to know what to pray for
It's funny because proselytism is illegal in my country
Typical response from someone that has never had a chemical imbalance
The Lord gave us discernment and wisdom. Talking to your pastor and doctor about your problems and praying sincerely is key
