I'm struggling a bit right now (that may be an understatement?). I stopped taking my supplements a week ago last Saturday, and while I expected it to be somewhat difficult, I'm not coping well. Only done two workouts since, but each time, I've been sore/achy for days afterwards. I'm having digestion issues again, and spine issues, which, aside from being generally uncomfortable, are giving me bad headaches (since something is out of place in my neck as well).
I also went through a several-day patch of being overly emotional (well, for me), and even now, I have zero motivation to do anything but either sit & watch tv shows in order to 'escape' from reality for a while, or to go out for drinks. I've been doing reasonably well at convincing myself to just stay home when I feel like I'm wanting a beer or two, but while that's healthier, I'm also finding it isolating (as usual). I'm also having trouble falling asleep (not unusual), but I'm feeling very groggy (sleep hangover?) when I get up in the morning and it's really hard to get going. I also seem to be sleeping more heavily once i do sleep, but my ring says I'm getting less deep sleep, which isn't healthy.
I have to wait until at least the middle/end of August before I can do any blood tests to see if I'm a TRT candidate, because I have to wait for the supplements I was previously taking to work their way out of my system. I know the way I'm feeling right now is (most likely?) temporary, but I'm just a bit concerned that maybe it's not, and I'll have to make a choice to either continue on this way, or become dependent on lifelong medication, neither of which are pleasant or ideal options.
In order to not have this entry be entirely negative, I just finished up section 85 in the Du0ling0 Japanese course, out of a total of 125. It's going well, and I'm finding that I'm able to hear and comprehend things in Japanese much better than even a couple months ago. At least I'm making progress somewhere in my life...
