I wasn't sure where to post this
Hi, I'm new from Norway. EF looks preety sweet. Find it very usefull, etc. Thanks for making this a great place EF people!!
I joined because training/health has become my lifestyle and been like this for the last 2 years...
Well, I'm pretty much desperate to find an answer for feeling like I'm shutting down. Problems started to get noticed first physically, then it got mental, and now it's just
both- main reason I joined was to find an answer for several things.
Sorry I'm a messy writer but I'll do my best not to be such a girlie man politician about it!
So, I'm going to do my best to break this down simple as I can.
I'm 20 years old now, but let's rewind it back to when I noticed the problems started at age 19, 10 months ago (May 2010).
2 months before that I started my first diet ever, and my goal was to get shredded to 6 in BF% from maybe roughly 12-14 % at 85 kg (187 lbs). (All natty, ridicilous
goalmaby.. I don't know.. but please LISTEN!)
OK! So I went on a diet (written below) and 2 months in it I felt like shit. Headaches, trouble thinking, irritable. Nothing I am used to. I tred to take a few days off
nothing got better, so I imagined it was just stress and mental. I kept on training, just got worse. Went to the doctor explained troubles of starting to get depressed, head
hurting, lack of sleep, getting emotional, etc. Nothing I've experienced in 2 years. I'm bipolar so my physical problems get often mixed up with my mental disorder. I get
nowhere with my doctor except that I need to get my head examined and stop imagining these problems.
I dropped the diet and training and went on to just maintaining fat and building muscles. Upping my macros to 3500ish calories a day. Felt a little better but got bloated
pretty easily. That was new, was unsure if it was too much protein or carbs. I ate little fat as well back then. But, found out later it was carbs I was having troubles with.
Living with like this the whole summer I finally snapped and felt weak. Got a girlfriend and starting to feel like I was turning into a girly man. FOUND OUT BLUE
BALLS ARE REAL! My health lead to so much stress I lost control of myself and was being controlled by my girfriend and I just felt like shit!
Went back to try dieting again.
Started to get a lot of colds and coughing a lot, was just like my immune system was sheisse!
I was at that point getting desperate for help, so I asked a friend for some advice and said b12 and clenbuterol might help. (Keep in mind this is the first time using
something performance enhancing, no creatin or protein, etc ever ever ever!!).
The b12 made me feel wierd. And the clen made me feel warm all the time. I felt like a stranded jellyfish in the hot sun.
Only time I felt good was when I was actually doing cardio or having sex.
But that wasn't enough, I was irrational most of the time so I made bad decisions and broke up with my girlfriend and change my training all the time and lost track of
how things work.
I've been going to a psyciatrist and talk to him about this. Helps quite a bit, saving my fucking life.
Started back in school, couldn't focuse so I had to go off this year and take a break and just try to get myself back together.
Fell off track selling drugs. One day I got so fed up and I had some testosterone enantate laying around and haning out with my friend and said, fuck it. I'm going to shoot
some test e in my buttcheeks. Shot 250 mg day monday, 250 mg thursday. Just for 1 week. I felt so good the day after the first shot I went up 10 kg in bench press. But
my friend told me it took 10 days for it to kick it, so I guess it was just a placebo effect I was having. But after the second shot I regretted doing it and said I don't want to
ever take steroids again, just sell them.
I asked if it would be reasonable for a hormone check, and agreed. Got it back. Results where not so good.
Test taken November/22/2010
Serum levels
S-Testosterone 6,1 nmol/L
Not sure what the conversion numbers are, but it is low. It's out of the referal range.
I've experienced a lot of fatigue. Found post by needtoo explaining something called adrenalin fatigue, fits the description. But not sure.... Here's the thread:

Low carb diets seem to make me feel better and a grain of normal again and thanks to this place I'm finding things that help! Some of you guys and girls are funny and
make my day actually!!
Well keto and paleo diet sound most interesting, I'm trying to do keto now though, since I have gained 7 kg, now weighing 92 after trying to do a Lee priest bulk but I
couldn't handle it. Props for him getting so fat off season and loving it!
Well I hoped somebody out there bared to hear all this, I don't usually say this much. But man please help me stop being such a girly man! I hate these feelings and wish I
could go psyco and cut off my head! Cause I don't know where the pain is coming from!
Thanks
