[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 77481, member: 13404"] Not stupid at all, in fact, it's an extremely intelligent thought, and shows you're very self aware. Many guys on TRT want everything to be hormonally caused, but the reality is that most things are mental/psychological. I think that due to the large stigma against all things mental illness related in this country, guys will go to extreme lengths to find a hormonal cause of a most likely psychological problem. Because then it's physical, and not a symptom of a mental illness(which anxiety and depression are). You can see this by looking at half the posts on this forum, guys posting about the subjective benefits of testosterone waning or disappearing. Somehow, this is hormonal, even though nothing has changed in their protocol, except *insert random life event* happened. Or guys who get on TRT and since their libido or anxiety didn't improve, but everything else did, they now must have hypothyroidism. I talked to a guy who reasoned that because his libido didn't improve with TRT(but EVERYTHING else improved greatly) that he must be hypothyroid. He kept saying "but but my TSH is 1.6, it should be 1." or some other nitpicking with his labs, but just having low libido is not even close to how hypothyroidism presents. An unrelated rant, but you, my friend are coming to that conclusion on your own. That there might be a psychological component to this, and after all, who has a libido after a horrible breakup?
