+1 rep for solving half of the threads in this damn forum..
.
Bassetts mate you're describing depression anxiety and or low self esteem
you need a doctor for that and stress management/ideally CBT
Training may help boost testosterone and WILL boost endorphins making you feel better but the gym ALONE won't solve something psychological!
I am also lifting for stress management and am getting tested for low T but it is probably not physical when we're in our 20s!!!

Don't play doctor, there's a reason you sit on that side of the desk.

Oh so now you think I might have low testosterone.
Lifting is NOT raising my testosterone and it is not releasing endorphins, as far as I am aware.

If lifting isn't releasing endorphins for you, your.mind is programmed negatively and you NEED to see a doctor to discuss treatment for depression dude. I say this as a friend

Dude, when was the last time you posted something helpful, informative or constructive on this forum? You're like an annoying little parasite.
It was helpful. Watch it and it will help you stop being such a little bitch.
Tip for low testosterone: Don't **** for a a fortnight.
Just out of interest, I don't suppose you are cutting are you? Losing weight too fast can produce symptoms almost identical to low T (I wonder if it actually lowers it?)

Loss of libido, difficulty thinking of sex, very few erections, weak erections, tiredness, fatigue, depression, irritability, loss of strength and muscle mass, increased fat tissue on chest area.
edit: and difficulty sleeping (eg. going to bed at 10pm and waking up at 3am, going to bed at 9pm and waking up at 1:30am, strange things like that)

it's called "average testosterone levels", and is a big reason a lot of people roid, even at low dose
if you're looking for an excuse to juice, just stop and juice already.
if you are a low on testosterone - zinc supplementation is useful as well doing your compound lifts.
Rest well, eat well

Those are all symptoms of average testosterone levels?
Disagree. They're symptoms of high stress.
Cortisol running continuously through your body (i.e. under constant stress) has a blow on libido and your mood. This doesn't mean you have low testosterone it means your T production or at least your erections are getting inhibited by stress. This is why I say-see a doctor. Sounds psychological bro.

You can't work out your hormone profile from a set of nonspecific symptoms. See a doctor instead of relying on Captain Internet to play 20 Questions with your endocrine system.

I think they're symptoms of stress and poor mental health. Testosterone is known to promote a sense of well-being, confidence, and enhance mood, so being on testosterone is likely to make feelings like that less common.

OP, serious question: do you stay up late watching porn? Like, for hours? Do you watch enough porn that it disrupts other activities like schoolwork or time with friends?
