Testosterones' association with behavior

[Anzel]

There is a lot of medical science focused on how we behave because of our hormones or lack of hormones even. I encourage everyone to read up on it because it can help us understand what we are doing here when we kinda get lost or forget.


Its been a while now that I have been using exogenous test for TRT or a blast but I can still remember what it was like when I had miserably low levels of test in my system. I didn't feel good and I didn't look good.
The physical part is highly noticeable right off the bat. Better physique with some abs showing and stronger. Also and increase in energy and libido like you were 10 yrs younger. These are all great features and what we are looking for.


But how testosterone has made me behave is even more intriguing . With low test I was experiencing things I didn't actually recognize at the time. But once I did my first blast I had crystal clear hind sight to all the mental issues I had. I was not as confident and would get anxiety because of it. I was not so aggressive. I had less desire to do things. Any big challenge was too much like work to even want to do it. I was just a blah kind of guy.


Running a cycle with a decent dose of test certainly does make you feel better. But after a while you get used to this new set point and you can forget the way it used to be. Every once in a while I do find myself stepping up and just getting in the zone , taking charge, and being as about alpha as one can be. Afterward I take a step back and I am blown away , was that me just doing that??


Overall between a better physique and more energy the mental clarity and healthy assertiveness and hell yeah, some well managed aggression from time to time has made modern living actually fun for me! The world is my playground and living life feels like I'm on a natural high all the time.


How do you guys relate to what I am talking about??

It sound just like me before I found out I had ADHD and started taking ********. I went through the same type of changes.

AH, A friend of mine uses ******** , his life was falling apart, and once he got his ADHD figured out he is killing it! I think they prescribe it a little to quick for people that dont need it though. But like in my friends case it saved him!

There's so much to say here. I was in a car accident at 18. It was a severe accident. And I suffered some major head trauma. But being what the medical field is there was no treatment. Nor any follow up. Knowing what I know now if I was a Dr. I'd be doing lots of ongoing tests. Hormones. Cognitive ability. Mental health. So I slowly spiraled down from that point. About 10 years went by and I was drinking a lot. I had no motivation. My daughter was born. I just had no direction. Then one day I was riding my dirt bike. I had a major crash. Broke some bones. And again major head injury. At this point I had to figure out something. I had broken my collarbone. Then re-broke it 3 months later. So I had an epiphany of sorts. I realized I just haven't been the same since my accident. I started watching the Joe Rogan podcast Powerful JRE. Came across a few episodes where he had psychologists, endocrinologist, scientists, philosophers and comedians. Through these people I started researching and finding answers. I realized I had some head injuries that were that were the cause of this downward spiral towards depression and lack of motivation. I learned that my hormone were all but shut down. I learned that TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is a major problem in people like me. Ex football athletes, boxers, soccer players etc. This thing happens where a head injury literally separates the connection in your brain that tells the testes to produce testosterone. And for life long athletes this is like taking their batteries out. So then I got my results and I was at 153. Normal is 300 to 1100. I was at 153! So I got treated. Or I should say I took getting treatment into my own hands. And I'll never forget my 1st cycle. I was actually healing from my collarbone break at the same time. I healed better than before. I was back in the gym. My cognitive abilities came back. The kind of woman I was attracted to changed. Even my marriage ended. But it was because I was no longer willing to sit there and take it. I now knew my worth. I now saw my path. My skill in my trade improved. I was a master in my trade in half the time most guys take. So testosterone for me is vital. Like someone who is diabetic. My body, brain and health rely on having my hormones be on point. Wether I'm cruising or blasting. Even my short term memory goes to shit without supplementing. I'll start forgetting things all the time. Anyway. There's so much more to this. But the research is out there. Testosterone is not just a male sex hormone. Which is what usually comes up if you Google the word. Along with a bunch of ads. It's vital to brain function. Release of serotonin. Digestion. So many things. And now I have found BOP. And I'm greatful. Cuz this place is a gold mine. Not just cuz of sources. But information. With this site and some of your own research you can basically be your own Dr. Relatively speaking of course.

On 380 test I would barely even make eye contact with people. On TRT dose and cycle, I'm an alpha dog.

ALso after crashing my estrogen, I just feel like I want to die.

[Anon44]

Before test I also felt like everything was work and had no motivation for anything. I was also kinda of a push over,to nice to the point if being taken advantage of.

After test more confidence extremely motivated and a motivator. More energy and work is more like a hobby and fun now.

I'm not an asshole but I don't take shit like I used to.

For me test has been a major game changer.

[Anzel]

Ya know what your not an asshole when u don't take shit. But what happens is other people who try to give you shit think your an asshole.
I think that's why people are too nice sometimes...they don't want to be perceived as an asshole. So when your test levels go up and u feel confident in yourself you don't care what others think of you as long as your in the right and sticking up for yourself.
Good point! Thanks

Very interesting reading!
I think testosterone like all the hormones play a major role in people mind, I bet no person on earth wouldnt mind some extra test in their system lmao
I would like to share my experience with trenbolone though, to me it made me realize many things about life, about myself and the people around me plus I could smell things up like dogs do, feel overwhelmed by the full moon, made me stop having an unhealthy lifestyle and pursue my dreams because I got rid of all the people around me that were a negative influence.

Taking exogenous test can help you sleep better and help with anxiety.... works for me!

[jsnm]

Man this is a big thing for me as well,as I started getting older,felt less energy,a lot less interest in things in my life too,kind of hard to describe.
Once I started cycling multiple times,I could feel the difference as time went on. When I'm on test I just feel so much better,almost normal.
Definitely have a temper,but I truly feel less on edge,& more calm when I have higher test levels going through me which is great.
I mean it just makes sense to me though,it's helping me build muscle,feel more confident,overall a better person I think.

Feeling good is one of the most important aspects!

[350zsidewayzz]

Test is the best decision ive ever made in my life. On trt as of recently. To put it briefly ive had a stressful ass life mainly starting with the loss of an immediate family member at 11. Lots of drama with life after that. Lots of anxiety and ive tried every supplement in the book for that none worked. Fuck ***** way too many horror stories with that. Since TRT the past couple weeks ive felt on top of the fucking world. No joke. Like i just wanna slay sloots, focus on school, and become aesthetic. On a more serious note, like i know who i am and what im gonna do. So glad this opportunity made its way towards me.

[cybrsage]

I can give a current view of this right now, sadly. I have a natural test level of 153 and went through hell to finally find a urologist who says TRT is a good thing and was eager to help me. My life before it was bad. I was listless, no sex drive, no desire for anything. I like to say I was so apathetic that I KNEW I was apathetic and simply did not care. I also could not sleep much at all. I saw a Low T commercial and realized I probably had it, confirmed by blood tests.

Tried both the gel and the underarm liquid and both failed miserably. The gel gave me terrible mental side effects (most likely caused by the lye in the delivery mechanism). I was angry, had wild mood swings, suffered from dysopia, and had a nice layer of paranoia on top of it all - so when my wife tried to help me I felt she was out to make me back into the lifeless husk I was before for some reason. The underarm liquid made me sweat, and after 3 months my test level was no higher - I sweat it all out before it could be absorbed into the blood stream.

Injections made all the difference. I became alive again. I felt good, happy at times (no one is always happy), and motivated to improve my health. I started working out, got a personal trainer, and lost 12% body fat while keeping my weight the same (well, I did a cut and bulk, but that was the end result).

Now my PSA scores came back higher than normal. Normally I am at 0.7 but they came back at 2.5 - yes, still way below the limit of concern, but my urologist was concerned anyway. He put me on a 3 month hormone holiday, as he calls it, to see if I go back down. I am now also taking a supplement that has ingredients in it proven in a study on PubMed to reduce PSA levels. But in the meantime, I can feel the testosterone level dropping. My mind is already starting to cloud back up and I am already starting to be tired all the time. Sex drive has no dropped away yet. It is interesting to see what is lost first, but I am not happy about it. When this is over I am telling him I am never doing it again. I am only doing it now because I want to keep my legal scripts for testosterone and because otherwise he is amazing. He gives me MUCH more test than I need (says to toss each bottle after 30 days of use regardless of how much is left) and he allowed me to raise my test levels based on how I feel and not numbers on a blood test. He lets me pin as often as I like, provided I do the proper math on the dose instead of insisting doing it once every 2 weeks. He explained to me why the heart attack studies were bunk. He is good, but this one thing sucks.

So yeah, life is MUCH better with proper test levels!

[korsaire]

i have the same as some of you here in canada its hard to go on trt with a doctor even just to check your test level they dont want so f*ck them i will start HGH with 2iu every day and 200mg test c a week
