I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

    I’ve had a lot of comedowns. Hundreds and hundreds. For me mdma with gallons of booze was always the worst. Coke comedowns were actually not too bad. One morning in 2012 at around 10am I was coming down off a 3 day Molly and booze bender. I had a night shift that night and my then girlfriend had just gone away for 2 weeks. I genuinely had thoughts of throwing myself out of my bedroom window lol. I was pretty close to just jumping through the glass. Pretty funny looking back, because the fall wouldn’t have even killed me, just seriously injured me. Thought I’d just leave this here haha. 646 days sober 🎉😂

    Multiple substance abuse is bad it's still better to do only one like alcohol or weed, but zero is the best way to go. I drank again over Christmas and new year I'm not proud but avoid too much guilt because it's not good either. Talking and not hiding it (like you do here) is a good therapy.

    You're very brave for telling this story and being honest about your addictions. You've done a very good job of explaining why abusing alcohol and doing cocaine are both really bad ideas and why doing both together is even worse. I do drink alcohol occasionally but I keep it to 1 drink maximum. I understand some people struggle with that and I think you are very brave for admitting it. I've never done cocaine or any hard drugs though.

    Man thanks for sharing. Just had a bad time with a huge hangover made me super depressed and hopeless. One of my worst ones yet. I've been trying to quit drinking and I end up forgetting after like a month and get back at it. It's never just one or two...its SHOTS SHOTS, multiple drinks, feeling good, I'll have another. It's like the body knows it's making you feel good so you sub consciously buy more. I HAVE to quit alcohol. I worry that I'll be drunk enough out in the party scene that someone is going to offer me something else and I'll take it. It's around -_-...makes me want to quit DJing. The problem is in the music scene you're always around alcohol and drugs and people always want to offer you stuff. Also if you have a gig you want to help the bar sell alcohol because it's their revenue stream....sigh

    That’s tough and I appreciate you sharing. I know for me I had to burn the ships and make every move around being a sober member of society and in a recovery program. I have allot of history with building sobriety around my life and I have always eventually gone back to drinking. One day at a time I’m working very hard to build my life around sobriety and I’m staying sober and finding joy in a day to day basis. Certainly don’t know what’s best for you but if you think being sober is the most important thing for you. Encourage you to get support it sure made the difference for me.

You'll go through many ups & dawns but you have to talk to qualified people if you're struggling. You're at the age where you're allowed to make mistakes because you need to learn from them & that's got to let itself play out. So fk up as badly as you can because it's all lessons at this stage and don't take things too serious. However.. Pls stay away from drug's & try to concentrate of just hanging out with your friends. Wish you all the best.

And you’ve gotta believe this too. I’m guessing you think your wife is a pretty special person. Why would that special person stand by your side even when you’re at your lowest. Because she sees something in you worth fighting for. Not everyone in the throes of addiction have an angel by their side. You’ve got a powerful ally in this fight mate. So don’t give up. Each day of sobriety is victory. It’s up to you how many victories you stack up.

    I only tried cocaine a few times when I was drinking and it didn't really do anything for me. I felt my gums go numb and instead of being a sloppy drunk I was really controlled and could drink more for longer but it's nothing like in the movies where people do a line and go "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAH!" I'm told the stuff I did was really good because this was in LA whenever I would visit and it was meant to be really good stuff.
