>sub-12% bf all year
>lots of running
>interval training
>sprinting
>less than 7 hours sleep a night
>take on extra responsibility at work so I'm there 11-12 hours a day

I'm still making gains but I stopped getting horny or caring about women. All I care about now is making gains and making money. I'm truly free.

      I do this all the time. The only time I go over my caloric deficit is when I get a shitload of McD's.

        NTA but I've cut my calories so much if I cut them any more I may as well just constantly fast. I do water and dry fasts occasionally as well. I'm still horny and could frick a woman at the drop of a hat. I'm still a fat ass so I guess maybe it's because I still have enough fat to lose.

        I haven't eaten in 14 days and I'm still horny. I'm worried I'm losing vital minerals because I end up secreting a shit ton during sleep.

    >sleep 3 hours max per night, have to take 1hr naps through the day
    >chronic fatigue, tired all the time

    >hair falls out in clumps
    >zero sex drive
    >permanently suicidally depressed, completely unresponsive to all antidepressants

        Yeah very sad. but now you get to brag about the lifetime of pride in muh corps. Isnt that so cool?

        That's fricked man. They can't put you on strong sedatives for it?

        No I'm basically fricked until more research gets done. Unironically thinking about microdosing shrooms like some SEALs have been doing which supposedly helps with neuroplasticity

      But think about how many Afghani/Iraqi children you helped kill. I sleep soundly at night knowing these monsters aren’t out there to harm us. Your sacrifice was our security, and I’m eternally grateful bro. I live in Israel btw.

        correct me if I'm wrong, and this may sound israeli

        But couldn't he self prescribe meds? Like TRT, Thyroid, Statins, etc.

        Or would that further frick the shit out of him? I know the whole "throw a drug at it" is a fricking trick, but this may be a legitimate instance...

          Good question honestly, I feel like test might actually help him somewhat, but that's pretty much the only "drug" that I truly know how it works kek

            well, I know a few would do the following, sides good and bad

            TRT > Obviously
            T3 (thyroid) > Increase in TDEE, will increase activity, etc.
            Statins > Lower BP? and HDL levels??
            Diabetes meds (metformin, glp-1 agonists) > obvious blood sugar shit
            Benzos/Xanax > Sleepy/Relaxed as frick

            I want to say theres cortisol blockers too.

            But most of these ALSO increase stress levels, which obviously....

            I'm not telling you to become a drug addict, but consider some of these if it IS that bad bro. Even if it kills you 5-15 years younger, your QOL would improve by 2.5-5x (obviously just a # lmao)

      Doctors haven’t tried any of the medications used for Cushings? I tend to have high cortisol, haven’t been treated for it but I’ve found that a Beta-AET supplement helps a little. Hope things get better for you fren.

      Don't worry, you completely fricking ruining your life has served a great purpose. Giving israelites oil money, expanding Greater Israel, open borders for Europe, and BBC porn. Doesn't that feel great!?

    I can tell my hormone signalling is beyond fricked from the excessive load of cutting, work, college, and a little more for so long.

    Some chick came up to me in the gym and now we are talking and I've always been an anti-social shut in moron who didn't care about women but I have been more erect in the last 2 days thinking about her than I have in months/years. If she inst in to me or something I will probably blow a gasket, but if something happens I may be able to finally rest. I genuinely think if I bust / don't bust a nut that will make or break my next 5-10 years of life.

        Do you ever actually interact with normies? Most of them have an extremely boring life where they indeed just go home and do nothing the entire evening besides watching netflix.

    I’ve done this by accident. I’m a bioengineer in R&D, so I work long hours. My main form of exercise is running, so I run after work. By the time I’m done, it’s bedtime and all I’ve done the entire day is run and work. It’s kinda sad because I don’t have time to go on dates, but at the same time, you’re right, you’re so busy and stressed out that you don’t really care about getting a gf or whatever. It’s just my dog and me. Pic related, we just ran 5 miles.

    I fricked my cortisol recently due to shitty, diet, overtraining, never taking time off work, increasing relationship problems, and by constantly dosing amphetamines to even stay alive, coupled with rapidly losing 12 kilos in two months and I'm pretty sure it gave me burn out. Honestly don't know why WOMEN decide to just stop working and doing things due to this. Sure I'm feeling more brain fog, and I'm irritable as a motherfricker coupled with low libido (thank Christ) but other than that it's absolutely not a big deal.

    I am so sad, my body won't let me sleep for longer than 4 hours for the last two years. Melatonin pills and decaffeinated tea for sleeping doesn't help.
