Down in the dumps

[growthspurt]

I've been off my AAS cycle(with the exception of hgh) for almost two months now and I can't stand it! All I can think about is my next cycle and wish I was on it right now! I got some major drama going on with my life. I'm a divorced Dad trying to take care of my Son full time. Thank God I got him around because that is the only time I'm not depressed.

This is scarey shit Bros. I feel like I'm addicted to drugs or something. In a way, I'm sure I am; I mean, lets call a spade a spade here. I'm seriously thinking about giving up the juice and moving on with my life while I still got one.

Any of you bros ever feel this way? Does it ever feel like it's taken over your life to some degree or another? This sucks. Any feed back + or - appreciated here.

Everyone gets this way in some degree or another. It is easy to get caught up in this stuff since it takes so much dedication and determination. At times, it can feel you are just working and working out.
I always felt the worst side effects of the AAS are the psychological ones, the highs and lows. Though you may think of it as addiction, there are certainly worse things to be doing. I would suggest some other physical goals just to keep you motivated and keep working out. But you should also add in some other activities outside the gym and work.
Keep also in mind that in another month it will be spring time...longer and sunny days ahead.
Just don't think it is you, like I said everyone goes through this...hang in there.

Thanks Bro.
I'm trying to hang in there, but i'm having a fuck of a time. Fucking hormones! Must be that time of the month!

What he said. If your only hobby and only goals are gym related, then yeah, when you are off the juice, yer gonna feel.....bored?...I guess generally not satisfied since you'll basically be sitting around waiting for your next cycle, and not be motivated to work hard when your off cycle.
Take up some other sports. Join a hockey league, start running, cycling, swimming. Just do something that lets you set some goals and have fun, that don't require AAS.

For me the gym was my realease valve, even when not juicing.,.,.,.,.,.,.I still try to maintain my mind and body busy, try some outdoor activity, sometimes just walking helps.........

I always have said that I'd stop when the chillens come. Just b/c I don't want them to be exposed to that.

5 years on bro,hold in ther,first 6 moths off was hard been 1 year now and im getting ready to fire up soon!

In a sense we all who use AAS get a form of addiction. The stuff works so amazingly well and make you feel so great who wouldn't want that all the time. Coming off is tough to because test levels fall so low. Just do good PCT and hang in there. Doing cycles too often will cause permant depression later in life. Good luck bro, I freak waiting for the mailman when it is time, know what I mean. Best of luck really man.

Use your son for inspiration and be apart of his life as much as you can. Sound like a good dad, hang in there!

although us men are not supposed to own up to it, being down in the dumps from time to time is normal. doesn't mean you are less of a man. doesn't mean you have to run out and take antidepressants. just happens. you will snap out of it soon enough. gets easier as you get older.

normal depression is your mind's way of telling you may need to make a change. sort of like a sore shoulder is your body's way of telling you it is injured and needs to heal.

this post is not meant to offend any of you guys on antidepressants and chemical imbalance so don't get all pissy at me.

Right Now Im Going Through The Same Shit. I Came Off A Cycle 6 Weeks Ago And Cant Seem To Stay Motivated Unless I Think About My Next Cycle. I Believe That It Is Addictive Mentally For Alot Of Us Hell 99.9% Of Us This Is A Very Real And Unfourtanate. You Are Not Alone I Assure You. This Shit Fucks With Everyones Heads, You Love The Feeling Of Growing And Those Fucking Awsome Pumps You Feel Almost Invincable Then Its All Gone. My Advice Is To Stay In The Game If You Love It But Not At The Cost Of Your Sanity. Peace Bro

Sometimes I think the same way.... what if Im addicted to the drugs? What if I cant stop? But I dont look at it that way. I really dont care either way tho. I know I have a goal I want to attain physically, and it's not possible without the drugs. "Whatever it takes, for however long it takes; so long as it takes me to where I want to be." That's my motto. Whatever the consequences are, I'll deal with them if and when they arise.

Hey Bros!

Thanks to all who gave their thoughts. I know I'm just in a little rut right now and things will be better down the road. It's nice to know there's other peeps in your shoes though. I'll hand out the Karma where ever I can. Thanks again.

I agree with this guy...everyone is different of course, but I find talking to some buddies while having a few beers and good meal, generally can do wonders to lift me out a funk and lend perspective to whatever issues I am having.

If you are worried about your usage - then take a break, let the body recover, and get involved in some other things for a while - more activities with your son, focus on your work, find women, baseball, porn, whatever...Hopefully you just need to get over the hill in front of you, like all of us do from time to time.

Best,


Bluesman
