My Depression and recent changes for better

[servusmartis]

Thought I share my recent experience. I havent posted much on here but have browsed and read over a while and thought I share my recent discovery.

Following a tragic event in family over 15 years ago I slipped into a downward spiral and for years could not figure out what was wrong with me. After speaking to a friend who was in similar issue it came clear I had depression (the mood swings, feeling of closing away from everyboyd, rage , axiety all various ). Started to work on it , talking to help and it was helping but still lacked.

Daily energy day to day and each morning was welcomed with a meh no matter what. Was hard to be positive,and the good days where far and few between.  Simple things woudl cause me to flip and loose temper, the normal day to day I woudl feel like climbing into a dark hole to be alone was the norm. Overall life felt like crap with no positive outlook. And there is plenty in my life to be happy about, I just could not. Just took all my energy on most days to get through the day.

 Last year due to accident had major surgery which resulted in not ideal outcome and ended up in hospital for a while.

During that all the various blood testes and monitoring something was spotted. Turned out my testostoren levels where very low below even the minimum level for someone my age.

What followed was wonderful. Met with a great doctor who suggested hormone replacemnet (regular injections of terstorone). THese are done ever number weeks with first few closer in gap. Now on my 5th injection and what a difference.   Since started the course, not had a single rage, anger moment. Mornings I wake up and feel happy to be alive,  full of energy. YEs still feel Sad occasionally but its like a mirror what was the norm is now rare and I feel in comparison on top of life and happy.  Now I'm not saying its cured my deppresion / my mind but the boost and balancing out of my hormone levels certainly has allowed to silcence the deamons in my mind.  I have stared since then to read up more on it and depression is one of the symptoms of low terstorone levels.

So while I woudl never sell it as cure as it takes more to heal than a drug I woudl say get yourself checked if anything it might help. Not menion all the other health benefits that corret T levels give.

I'm so sorry about your accident, but glad that you found a reason for your depression!  I hope the jabs keep working... maybe you could ask to have your vitamin levels checked too?  Especially your B12 - it was a miracle worker for me!

[servusmartis]

Thanks, because of the infection had full screen as originally doctors thought maybe it was B12 as runs in family.

Everything was fine and just by luck caught the testorone.

[Amanda_George]

Have you thought about taking a good quality multi-vitamin just to make sure you've got everything you need every day?  Or even just a daily B12 pill might help as it runs in your family!

I hope the testosterone keeps helping you like it seems to have so far!

In past I did go down the route of multivatmis but stopped now as with a good diet and the last test showed everything was in the golden zone as far as vitamins where.

It was why we dug deeper looking at thyroid, liver and hormones as even B12 was spot on. The levels where so low I might as well had non.  Conisdering one of the side effects of this being low in old age is britle bone desease and already my father has it I'm happy that its been spotted. Its mad hope one thing can throw whole body out of whack

You are so right, Servusmartis!  Even with a good diet you can't get all the stuff you need though, is all I was thinking   

I'm glad you're happy with the treatment though... just keep on keeping on and you'll get there eventually

Amazing how something bad in our lives can turn out to be good in the end.  Glad the jabs are helping
