Has steroid use affected your mental health?

Those with mental health issues or personality disorders, Has your use of steroids affected your mental health in a positive or negative way?


I used to have a very short temper before I started blasting and cruising about a decade ago. When I started TRT I noticed I didn’t sweat the small stuff anymore.

I don’t go to any mental health professionals but I’ve had a few women tell me I’m a narcissist. I thought for awhile they were just trying to upset me because all of them said it after a breakup. One day I googled it and almost all the symptoms were symptoms I identified with. I think it’s possible, looking back on it…That steroid use has furthered my narcissistic traits. Although I’m able to have healthy relationships. I don’t think it’s affected me negatively.

I do have a shorter temper and less patience.

Even in our swinging world I have been more controlling of who my wife talks to or bangs even though I would bang other women in front of her unless I am preoccupied. it wasnt like that before.

I probably need to chill out. hard to tell if its from AAS or not, but training/stress definitely is a factor. Probably my lack of desire to drink is playing a role on my patience as well while people get shit faced and I cant be around drunk people sober lol

Im new to this, I have only 1 cycle under my belt and currently just started art. It was great for my mental health seeing my gains go through the roof. I had less anxiety and depression. it gave me back the love of the gym. The only negatives were when I came off, it was a bit of humbling experience. with the correct usage of it, its a miracle. If you don't really know what your doing ( me ) it can turn into a bit of a nightmare.

Especially tren and if tren+bold,nightmare. When I have to lift up my antidepressants and antipsychotics doses from normal to high. I always taking with tren or bolda some nootropics and supplements like racetam class nootropic+choline.

Depending on the compund.

19-nors (especially Deca /NPP) fuck around with my head, as i get heavy depression from it.
On Tren I am a paranoid fuck.

Test (-derivates) on the other hand are amazing for me. I love Boldenone for example and don't get anxiety from it.

Same with most orals I tried (Dbol, Var, Anadrol)
Dbol actually gives me sllight euphoria.

I had severe depression for several years and was in total denial about it. I had basically lost all drive and desire for anything in life and completely let myself go. When I started to figure out that I could not and would not live like that the rest of my life I decided I should probably get my test levels checked and sure enough I had the levels of an 80 yr old man. I used to have a temper out of this word and an even shorter fuse. Started trt and within 6 weeks my depression and anxiety was gone and I felt like a new man even better than I had in my teens and Twenties. Way more patient and slower to anger even when blasting. Life has never been better for me mentally and physically both.

I would say AAS might have improved my mental well being and health. I have struggled with Bipolar disorder my whole life. Even on tren i dont notice any sort of mental change except being extremely horny and wanna fuck 24/7 any woman that comes my way.

Could be i don't notice because i already been crazy without the steroids and learned too utilize life skills, manage and live with my Tiggers , Highs & Lows, and Delusions without medications, However i did definitely notice after starting AAS the intensity of my overall symptoms , Impulses and triggers are easier too manage and have dramatically decreased or have become non existent then they where prior.

Low testosterone leads to depression, anxiety and sometimes anger. Higher than normal levels usually make people short fused.
I suffered from the first part before starting trt and now I am so mellow and level headed that it takes a great deal of shit to rustle my jimmies. On cycle the little red devil starts whispering shit all the time and I need to control myself around stupid people.

Tren is a separate shitstorm that made me insane so I don't use it anymore, not worth it for me.

 

[Massproshop]

I feel very unbothered while on high test doses.

Your downvotes are a clear indictor of mental sides as well as @GuerillaPete

But yeah, good shit you are having healthy relationships

On high dose test I am more emotionally unavailable and indifferent to those matters, I can dump a girl at the slightest inconvenience when dating, like I don't bother myself at all trying, like if it goes smooth, good, if not, fuck off.

It works because they see you so unattached and not even trying that they get more interested in you, guys are generally a bunch of simps and pricks so when she sees someone dumping her so easy, she just can't take it and end up chasing you.

On the other hand, going out is more fun on high test, beers and test are a savage combination.

Generally girls will try to hurt you with negative feedback if the breakup is not smooth, they get full bitch mode, don't take it too personal and fuck her off quickly.

But if you really feel you have narcissism, work on it, it's very good you humbly have admitted it like you just did, it means there is a lot of room for improvement. Some people have so stubborn narcissistic traits that they can't even have awareness of it.

What?

If says he mentioned me too. I don't see a post.

I think he was targeting me with his stream of down votes in regards to nothing.

Some frustrated kid with mental health problems.
This is the right thread for him to come out as a frustrated homosexual .
Just needs a little help to do it so he tagged us.

Nandrolone makes me very lazy and a tad depressed.

All other aas even Tren don't do anything special on my brain.

The Tren just gives me a bit more of self confidence, but that's it.

Mixing Tren and Nandrolone solved the laziness.

I’m probably about to sound contradictory as shit, but my patience is better and worse. I have definitely become more patient with my wife, kids, and other family members. I used to get pretty irritated with my kids at times, especially my girls, because I felt like they were being too soft and whiney. I feel like I’m emotionally softer now. It seems like empathy and understanding comes to me easier than it used to.

On the other hand, my patience for fuckery of any kind is little to none. I really have to be mindful of how I talk to people when they aren’t grasping a concept at work or dealing with younger individuals that don’t have much life experience, but have a know-it-all, entitled mindset.

Also, I really hadn’t thought much about it until someone brought it up in a thread I posted earlier, but my anxiety level has gone up a little bit. I attribute this to some physical and other life stressors, kids, trying to have another baby, work, and my AAS usage. I actually just made an appt with my mental health provider and therapist to tell them what is going on and try to get some help with chilling the fuck out a little bit.
