[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 278817, member: 42777"] I definitely understand about thought patterns, thought loops, and other things that can get people into(and stuck in) negative outlooks. I think pretty much everyone has been there to some extent, though yes some worse than others. I don’t think trt “stops working”. And by that I mean that once you reach a steady state the testosterone will continue to do what it has always done. If someone says it stops working then I generally think they have gotten used to their new baseline, that excitement has worn off, and some of the same things that were causing them issues in the past start to surface again. For some(or many) people the trt can completely get rid of depression and lots of other issues, but for some(or many) they should also consider other options like counseling, therapy, plant medicine, ketamine therapy, etc. to continue to work towards improving themselves. I think everyone should always seek to improve themselves and optimize their life and the lives of those around them. This requires dedication to improving physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. And it is a journey, not a destination. You don’t go to the gym for a few years, get in shape, say “this is awesome, I look great and have hit all my lifting goals”, then just stop and expect to keep all of those gains. You have to switch towards maintenance and that requires continuing to work indefinitely. The same logic applies to other areas of health like mental and emotional health. You should continue to work on or maintain it. In your case, it sounds like multiple things may be causing you to have a defeatist attitude(and I say that with no disrespect because everyone has been there at some point). And one of those things is likely your low testosterone levels. Increasing that would likely help with some of those issues, but you should still expect that you’ll have to continue working on things even if you feel better initially. People today want a quick fix, but again it is better to approach health as a journey. And even just taking that approach can help with outlooks, because you realize there is plenty of time to improve. You’re in your early 30’s and still have plenty of time to drastically change your life. [/QUOTE]
