The term depression covers a very broad range of mental disorders and literally means one has a 'chemical imbalance in the brain' its not a state of feeling 'sad' or 'angry'.. And more often than not people that suffer from depression just don't feel emotion at all! Around 20% of men will suffer this disease as a young man and the majority of them will suffer silently! I don't know what it is about us blokes but i think we just feel that its normal.. Its just part of being a man? The truth of the matter is its NOT normal and you don't have to suffer bros! Your not alone and there is always help just around the corner if you choose to look!

There are a vast number of causes for depression and just to name a few..
Alcohol, marijuana, narcotics, poor diet and overall health, POST TRAUMATIC STRESS! (Now this is the one that creeps up on a man.. I mean it IS completely normal for a man to go through a lot of shit and not show any signs of stress :/ but sometimes shit eats away at you and when you don't talk it out it eats away at you and sooner or later your heads filled with what ifs and maybes and then BAM breakdown!) and lastl but not least.. The one we all have in common.. STEROIDS AND PCT.. Now i cant give advice on this because I'm yet to do a pct and to be completely fkn honest I'm terrified of falling back into that cold arse dark son of a bitch pit i climbed out of all those years ago!!

But without getting into my story just yet id like to just give a brief description of what i think this group should be able to bring to our community..

HELP AND ADVICE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSION! Don't judge a bro looking for advice.. If anyone comes here acting a fool telling a dude he's a scumbag for losing his cool on someone you'll be removed! Were not here to judge were here to help!

CYCLE ADVICE for those prone to depression, while its not advisable that guys prone to depression or bipolar/anxiety/murdering their neighbours etc should use AAS, certain compounds can cause particular problems such as anxiety and rage and so on and others are perfectly safe (within reason of course)
So anybody wanting advice on which compounds to avoid due to your own personal disorder feel free to shoot me or anyone else willing to help a PM.. Or better yet list it in here and we'll do out best to help out :).

Maybe some of us have some shit on our chests and just want to let it all out without being judged or singled out! Again.. Feel free to let it out bros! Bottling shit up inside can kill a man! Or worse.. Lose his wife!

For those that have suffered with and beaten the big black dog living inside of you.. PLEASE
Help the rest of us understand how you escaped it, how u felt in your darkest hour, what meds/herbs/methods you used to ease the pain and what you think was the most crucial element of recovery!?

While there may not be any medically qualified people here to back anything up we discuss here.. Through our experiences we can help each other! And as boring and useless as this may seem to some of you, this may be the last hope for one of us ;)

So welcome aboard gents.. All other posts will be made private so we'll all feel a bit more comfortable sharing with each other.
