48, former athlete and climber (ice and mountaineering, low level rock). Been getting nowhere with working out, dealing with depression. I've used peptides quite a bit mainly for injury recovery (bpc157 and tb500). Got on testosterone 6 months ago, and its been a game changer. Back to my old self, getting decent gains for the work put in, sleeping better, way less depression and headaches. Looking forward to a solid place to source information and share experiences.

i too struggle with depression. Did you take any medication to aid with the depression? Was wondering if that would interfere/cause sides during a steroid cycle

I tried a ton of ssri's and they did nothing but give me zero sexual feeling and one made me actually feel crazy. I have a lot of suicidal ideation, its like a song that I can't get out of my head. I think it comes from a lot of concussions when I raced dh mtb and a climbing accident I had where I was a 39% on our oxsat before I got put on oxygen. I stopped using anything to treat it and just dealt with it like I had for years before I decided to try and do something. In the past 6 months of trt and ipa/cjc use, those thoughts are down I'd guess somewhere around 75%. Could be that I'm hitting the gym a lot harder since recovery is so fast and that's having a big endorphin effect too. I do feel a lot of anxiety now when I can't get to the gym on schedule. I'll take that trade off.
 
I've also tried several antidepressant medications, as well as going on trt at the actual prescribed dose. I definitely felt more energy and less depressed when trt started (was around 250 ng/dl tested over several months) but didn't end up making drastic changes on the mental side until I started therapy.
