So, I was concerned with the way I'd been feeling for awhile... I've been tired, less motivated, not much gains at the gym if any, no libido, some slight depression (I associate to losing my dad).. The breaking point was a few months ago.. I was getting ready to get some ass and shit just wasn't working..
So, I went to my doctor and had him order my labs... Everything was good, from my lipid panel to my TSH/PSH levels.. My test levels look great.. So my big thing is, what can I do to fix this?
here's my labs:
Free test: 13.2 ng/dl (5.05-19.8 ng/dl)
Test: 602 ng/dl (240-950 ng/dl)
DHEAS: 266 (105-728)
Triglycerides: 61
HDL: 78
LDL: 155 "a little high"
I'm eating great, usually 5-8oz lean protein per meal, a carb and veg... I'm drinking a lot of water, I'm getting at least 7 hours of sleep a night.. What more can I do to fix this?
This sounds more psychological than anything. You have described depression to the "T".
Treating depression is NOT easy, and can be a long and arduous internal process. You have to prepare yourself mentally for the road ahead, and mostly you have to have the desire to actually get better.
Seeing a psychiatrist can help, just be careful of medicating. Certain anti-depressants have more libido suppressing properties and can lead to dependence.
Besides sufficient sleep, proper nutrition, and at least 8 hours of sleep a night - the key component is going to be mental health and addressing the underlying issues. Also, if you watch pornography or masturbate, discontinue it immediately. The longer you go without sexual stimulation, the greater the chance of optimal performance.
There are also medications such as viagra and cialis that can help - although they aren't the be-all-end-all.
