Emotional rollercoaster.

[crimson coal]

Does anyone ever feel really good about themselves physically only to feel crappy about themselves later in the day. I swear I will feel good about myself at home when I look in the mirror only to feel bad about myself later on such as feeling small or maybe fat or just plain dumpy. Then when i am feeling crappy somweone will come up and say "Dude! Your looking huge!" or "nice guns" which brings me up again. I don't know if it's certain mirrors that does this to me or what. I swear I can be up one minute only to be down another. Anyone else ever have to deal with this?

yeah

I feel the same way sometimes. I think it may have something to do with the fluctuation of the levels of all the shit I have in my body.

Man, I have been an emotional rollercoaster for the past 8 weeks on my cycle. Now that I'm off and taking clomid I'm fucking in a deep state of depression and I'm in a bad mood all the time.

Juice takes a big toll on my emotions. My GF can definitely tell when I'm on because I'm so up and down.

For me I feel great when I'm pumped and like to stair in the mirror for 30 minutes.lol. But a couple of hrs. later when I look in the mirror and the pump is gone I feel like shit again.

Chemicals and Moods

Yeah, it all depends on your chemical cocktail at the time. If I'm on dbol/Test and other armomatizing goodies than I'll be high as a mountain and low as terd..

While on non-armomatzing stuff like winny/tren I'm in one consistent mood (as long as I keep my levels even), cold & angry (which I enjoy very much)!

When off, christ - it's depression time - a little clen helps my mood but I'm still pretty down

Just about every day of my life. I used to be a 150lb weakling and now at 245lbs I still think that I'm small...

Your not alone brother. The hromones have a good deal to do with it, but so does the fact that most of us are perfectionists and overly critical of our physiques. This can manipullate not only how you see yourself, but how you feel about yourself.

 

[casavant]

Crimson, I think just about everybody on this board is like that. You're not the only one.

BTW, certain mirrors can really make your physique look like shit. Try to avoid those.

Yeah, I feel like shit right now. Starting my second week of clomid therapy, I'm moody, feel small, lost the incredible pump I had all the time while I was on. I go to the gym and feel pretty good again, strength is still pretty decent, but damn I miss being on .

overlooked

This is actually one of the most overlooked aspects of gear use. Its something I think people should focus a little more and prepare for. The first 2 weeks of a cycle I feel very manic/depressive as i do a few weeks after I get off, its very controllable but you do defintely have to recognize that you think with a slightly different brain during this time. I don't know if this helps but I am constantly telling myself that my emotions are slightly altered during this time, its nothing most people will notice but during this time I make sure and stay away from deciscions that are very important. The way crimson phrased it he seems more focussed on self image aspect which is a product of the emotionality (IMO). It does suck sometimes, but its awesome at other times as well (that would be the manic phase lol). I think we should stress it is controllable but it definetly does alter my emotions somewhat.
