Testosterone at 26 years
old.

taking testosterone for me is good.
Habits & Health

per week on average
- Consider myself prone to "binge"
drinking

(i.e., work or recreation, less than 4x/week for
30 min.)

Mental Health
- Yes, I have seriously thought about hurting
myself and have been to a counsellor.
- I have noticed changes in my mental health
prior to taking testosterone compared to after
taking it. I've had a hard time in the first
year, but now (3 yrs later) better than I could
have hoped for
