First figure out why you're depressed. It could be job, money etc. Dont take that lightly.

Like I posted earlier, I have a good life. A good job, no money problems, no drama.

I thought we established that already. Yes, I suffer from depression, anxiety, sleep issues, lack of energy, lack of motivation, no sex drive... But since my issues are not testosterone related, and I would do things totally wrong if they were, I don't see the point in discussing my issues on this forum.

Well seems like you need to figure a bunch of things out before you come onto this forum wondering why injecting Test isnt working when you have many prior issues. Get educated.

If you’re gonna run test, run it for real at 500mg per week if you want to see/feel real gains. 12 weeks, .5mg adex EOD, 500iu HCG per week. Work out hard. Get off the free weights and use the machines so you can continuously increase your weight without a spotter. I don’t think in your condition that the boost in testosterone you’re getting is enough. Go on a carb cycle diet while on cycle. Bring your BF down. That will also increase your energy and libido. No reason you shouldn’t feel like a new man after 6 weeks or so. Then when you get off cycle, maintain the same lifestyle and keep working out hard.

Cool, don't see many like myself. I have a low SHBG of 12-15 and, as a result, pin every day 17mg SubQ into belly fat. Makes for a total of 120mg of test cyp a week. Feel great!

Not worried about gains in the gym. Adex causes me bad side effects, so that's not an option.

Everyone keeps telling me that I don't know enough, research more, and now get educated. I did fuck up by not getting my e2 levels checked before I started. And I came here to get educated, so telling me to come back after I get educated is just stupid. If there is something I did wrong or need to do different next time, educate me, tell me what I should have done and should do. Don't just tell me to research and figure it out. Not that it matters, everyone gives conflicting information from everyone else anyway.

Haven't pinned any test in a couple weeks now. I feel no different than I did before I started or while I was using it. Going to wait a couple more weeks to make sure it's all out of my system and get new blood work done, maybe figure out what the issue is.

I think this is a good idea, proper blood work will help a lot in this game. Don't give up on it yet, just take a step back and post your blood work.

Good Luck.

my experience with low T is and told me to go have it checked by doctor, my free T was at 27, I am about the same age as you and was having the same problems as you. it took about a year and a lot of blood work to get my levels straitened out. I now take 300mg every 2weeks Test C. have been on it for almost 3 years, my last blood work free test 550 range I feel like a different person. I hope my experience on this matter helps. good luck, I remember what a day to day struggle it was.
