Thank you @Athol_Kay for creating a space here that was so supportive, where people rallied around those having difficult times, and offerred a set of tools to get unstuck. Thanks @Jen_Kay. Ya'll were very patient. And encouraging. It's made me …

Do you take the wellbutrin in the evening? Depending in the formulation that can really kick in during sleep..... Better to take in the am.

Thanks @Lenny. Haven't tried that yet. But I do plan to monitor the T and take steps as needed. Honestly, I think what probably helped most was reducing stress. That did a lot of good. I never appreciated just how stress messed things up over t…

...feeling better than I have in a long while. Good thing too. I live in a madhouse filled with teenagers. Gotta be on top of my game. I need a hidden (and soundproof) safe room. With a sofa. Teenagers are the anti-MAP.

For those who might be interested: I had a slight increase in T from ~350 to ~420. I ate more meat and eggs, lifted some, took vitamin D supplements to raise that from 4 (very low) to 40 (in "normal" range) and (probably the best thing) cut my stre…

I totally get this. 100%. It is my biggest issue. I call it the death spiral. After a while of no sex or affection I get grumpy, which is not attractive. So no sex. So I get more grumpy. And so forth. To the point that when I finally get a g…

Had doctors visit. He's now wanting to look into the T supplements. Ordered lots of blood tests to rule out other things. And he's consulting with a good urologist.....though I don't think he is a T expert. I hardly had to say a thing. When d…

Oh. Very important, before the trip, to remind your wife that sex prevents sea sickness....

Awesome. Congrats!!!! Practice helps. It's just getting used to it. That's all. Take it slow. The outfits will require a snorkling vest - bulky and not supercool looking but it's impossible to sink. So the depth won't matter (except to the …

I know, right? I never would have guessed it. But it works so much better. How on Earth did I get stuck doing things the other way????
-
Have a new way of looking at things lately that has greatly decreased my level of stress. I tend to "feel" others emotions and attempt to problem solve things that aren't really mine to solve. (I couldn't stand unnecessary suffering and sometimes …

I assume FB is full of engagement news, wedding planning, well wishes, etc. He's flirting anyway. And she's hiding the texts from you. Sorry to hear that. It sucks. When she got the text was it through the FB messager or another text ap? If th…

Took some time off work. And got some perspective. I still have some weakness and neurological stuff that they say is from stress. And I lost about ten pounds in a couple weeks. But I'm feeling much better. Getting back to a normal schedule and…

Dealing with some stressful stuff at work and home. My usual neurological issues are back. Clearly they were stress-related. Some cardiac symptoms scared the crap out of me. I've lost a lot of weight, and quickly. Was sick, so no exercise. And…

@forestleaf. Thinking about you and your family. Sounds like you are doing the right things. In the meantime, just thought I'd say that we were there too....we had a little rage machine and worried A LOT...since there is a family history of mental…

You're right. I have appointments and blood tests lined up for the fall. Right now I'm getting over a bad cold, struggling to deal with situations at work, and not sleeping. It's bad. I need to go back to basic "self-care" and boundary setting. …
-
Has occurred to me: (1) my current work situation - partly very distressing HR issues - is more stressful than I realized and it's probably impacting me far more than I would admit or let anyone know. Noticing physical symptoms. Sleep problems lin…

Ya'll have little zoologists and chemists in your homes! That's awesome. ....and maybe disguisting at times. But mostly awesome.
-
Have been feeling better, except for a cold. No RLS. Energy seems better. I just took a break from trying to figure it all out and make it all right. Just moving forward without over-thinking.

Anyone tried sun lamps for T? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160918214443.htm#.V-EgRotOw-M.email

Cialis. Urologist's plan to treat semi-ED, thinking more sex + other positive changes I've made = testosterone. He wants at least one more ~350 T test before going to the next step. I'm willing to go along for a little while. You found me on t…
-
@nubby. Usually one cup of decaf in the morning, and maybe a diet soda later. I've cut back on the diet soda over the years - used to have a couple each workday. I don't drink alcohol much at all either - maybe a beer every two weeks. My wife sa…
-
Hey @Ray. That's interesting. Over the years I've considered maybe it's depression, etc. Maybe it's chemical. Maybe it's just my way to survive drama that I'm overly sensitive to. IDK. But it set in around 38 after a tough stretch. And has beco…

Well, my total T was 355 I think. So lowish. And years ago I was diagnosed with GAD and/or PTSD from a combination of relationship/work stress. So could be both. I've worked really hard to put that behind me and definately don't feel I've had GA…
-
@Angeline. You're pushing me take some action. I get it. Thanks. Those are great suggestions and I have been taking them to heart. I've actually done most of those things - escape room, comedy, adrenalin-type stuff. Even those water balloon thing…
-
Being really honest here.... Well that's a good question. In the past I'd probably initiate a few times a week. Not much comes from that. Flirty talk or texts don't gain much traction. Sometimes it'll get a delayed response. Mostly when we con…

Oh. That's Droopy Dog. Sorry folks. I really am putting the effort in. Really, I am. Obviously it's just not working. And that's on me. I haven't figured it out. The first part of my MAP was really great. I learned a lot. I grew as a man, …
-
I see. So some of the usual strategies may not work well. It might be helpful for him to have a therapist / coach - it could take some pressure off you and help him see the connection between what he wants and what it takes to acheive that. Also,…
-
Droopy dog?? @Husband3point0 not sure which way to take that! You mean droopy dog, low energy, no fun guy? Or Mr. E.D. Droopy Dog? A little cialis turns one into Super Dog who leaps tall buildings and runs through walls, and does other non-droo…

Making it a good end of summer. Busy. Kids are good. My older kids are really turning into good men - and they're fun to hang out with. Job is still stressful, but I'm enjoying the good parts for the first time in a long while. I have a new wor…
