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.

Anxiety is worse. Can't think, focus, and barely even move. Depression sucks too, but anxiety when it gets way too overwhelming makes you start to think am I mentally ill? Glad I got over it

@blackmail2690 5 лет назад

What did u do to beat it?

@alexxahill7833 5 лет назад

What about when you feel so hopeless that you just couldn't be bothered to do anything anymore? Your mental state of mind starts to act on you physically and emotionally. What about that feeling when you're constantly being told to 'cheer up' or to 'go get some help if you're so sad'? No, Depression isn't a thing we can just buy our way out of with pills. It's when you're so unstable that you feel like no one cares and no one understands...you're trapped and there's no exit. Anxiety is just as bad, but I hate it when people act like depression is something you can easily just change.

@redstoyotarunnerwithstri-hp9gm 5 лет назад

@@alexxahill7833 i know exactly what you mean! i look at it as being in a dark cave with no lighting at all, but you know there's an exit because there has to be an exit because people who built the tunnel had to have gotten out somehow. The depression is that dark tunnel and no matter what you do, you just don't stop, and at some point you will find a way out. You are not alone, I promise you, I wouldn't have messaged you if I didn't want you to feel that you are not alone!

@denizakarca0405 5 лет назад

Alexxa Hill what about having both and while your anxiety’s telling you that you suck at everything and you have to change not to be a burden and to be loved, your depression says that it’s not worth getting out of bed or eating because nothing would work anyway and you’re better off dead without even trying. basically, you are extremely stressed because you think you’re doing everything wrong and you need to do better but you don’t have energy nor will to do so :/

@keeperoflostsouls13 7 лет назад

For me, depression is so freaking hard to deal with but anxiety is so much worse. Anxiety makes me want to crawl out of my skin, every single inch of me feels everything. Shirts become too tight, my fingers get tingly, everything feels like cardboard. It's like my body isn't mine. My mind screams every single thing that could go wrong. Then my asthma kicks in. When they are over, no matter how minor or major, I always get depersonalized after for a few days at least. I'll take depression any day over anxiety. And he's right, when they all happen together it's awful.

@xBaphometHx 7 лет назад

In my case, depression is worse because it takes my will to live away. It cause me to stay in my bed not wanting to do anything, and even worse, it makes me wanna disappear. Anxiety is an agony, but it makes me do things to stay focused on something, to feel I am not thinking on how bad I am feeling. For example, checking videos on RU-vid or do whatever that can distract me from overthinking.

@guesswho5790 6 лет назад

@beautysandthebeast5587 6 лет назад

xBaphometHx me too, I've had anxiety for years, and some depression, but in 2017 I suffered from severe depression for over 7 months and it was by far the worst thing I have ever experienced, I then realised that maybe I had never suffered depression at all to this scale ever before, and i would never want it too return its something I dread.

I can only speak for anxiety. I've been depressed but not severely. The anxiety was so bad that I was afraid to get out of bed. I couldn't take my kids to school (one mile from the house) because I was afraid I would stop breathing. I'm much better now but it's one day at a time. Makes it difficult to make plans because I never know how I will feel.

The bit about being depressed but calm one day and then highly agitated, energetic, and suicidal the next. That. It’s so hard to explain to someone how it can change so quickly from one day to the next because of the misconception that it’s one particular mood for a prolonged period of time.

@berberingafieri 7 лет назад

Had severe Anxiety OCD and panic disorder and depression. Depression is a piece of cake compared to all the others. Meditation, exercise, healthy diet, and facing my fears head on has been very therapeutic. Recently found out I've had an underlying ADHD, and got put on methylphenidate, back to square one haha 😁.

Fantastic guest, thanks Noah. T.I.P. I will remember that.. I had a mental breakdown in 2016 that started with depression, apathy, and anxiety followed. My anxiety required drugs the depression required talking to a professional. I am 95% in remission now and drug free thanks to HRT and my mtn bike but I know the monster is still out there lurking.

@jamesdorey9833 7 лет назад

I used to suffer from both depression and anxiety, Ive been free of both for over 4 years although occasionally i'll have very slight anxiety. I found changing my diet (going vegan, eating whole foods, no processed food). Meditation helped so much, ditching people who are negative, exercise is beneficial. Change your job if your not happy, set yourself goals, throw away the TV as that shows so much negativity... I'm a completely different person since then, feels like I was trapped and couldn't get out but there is always a way out. Anti-depressants don't work. You just need to focus your attention away from your thoughts because they are not real. I have total respect for bignoknow for his videos, so many people now with depression!

For me it is anxiety. What was bad was not being able to sleep at night. Felt like the room was closing in. I try to lay down but the anxiety would jolt me back up. I paced the floor and just maybe I would be so exhausted that I might get couple hours sleep. I had the constant need to move. I hate being jolted awake in the morning with worries.

@Yarmox 7 лет назад

i had both and they have had their place in my life unfortunately for years. Knowing they come in waves I might have to deal with them again. I had extreme panic disorder and anxiety. Mostly health related where there wasnt even a problem. The first wave was when I was younger during middle school and it went from social anxieties to extremely scared of heart issues/major health problems. Existing was pure torture. It went away for a little while and then came back full force for about 3/4 years. I was in and out of the ER shaking and the anxiety was so ingrained into my brain that I would feel painful extremely realistic symptoms at random. It never got easier, I was prescribed stuff and couldnt take it without freaking out. Eventually I got into smoking weed because of friends and lets just say it didnt do anything good. Now depression was definitely present and engulfing me more and more. I was at a point where I was so depressed that I could barely move. It drained me so much that I started getting an insomnia at the time where I thought I was gonna go insane forever. I still have depression because of issues in life but to be honest depression is a slow shadow that forms in you. Anxiety is you being afraid of your own shadow. Both are absolutely disabling and cannot be described unless someone lives through it. Now for a while I got through it. Been almost 2 years now that I can say ive been normal. My advice to anyone going through that shit is #1 dont google your symptoms for anxiety, doesnt do you any good. Anxiety is the greatest mental trickery one can face. #2 do not pick up any bad habits like drugs to cope because they dont solve the issue. #3 is time. No matter what, in the end time is the ultimate 'cure'. You can live healthy lifestyles to speed up the process, but for me it only went away on its own. Depression is so hard because its you thinking the thoughts so it seems genuine. The think that always helped me stay ''optimistic'' for a non depressed future was knowing that its just a state. Stay strong my friends.

Been suffering from anxiety since I left school about 20 years ago, it stopped me from carrying on with college, driving, going out and socialising and so on. Barely been out in 10 years but I've recognised I need help and start my CBT therapy next month so I'm starting to take steps to get better. Its channels like these that have made a big difference to me and made me realise there's no shame in looking for help. So thanks to both these gents, you make a difference.

@AScentToRemember 7 лет назад

I deal with both. Recently, I've been dealing more with anxiety and my depression has been getting better. I would rather live with anxiety than my depression. My depression had me to the point of I could only feel pain inside and out. I just wanted to be dead and to me that is the worst feeling. Feeling like you should be dead and no one would give a damn. Anxiety sucks but at least I can feel something other than pain and it doesn't last as long as depression. Anxiety I can live with but depression almost killed me.

@whitedogblues09 7 лет назад

Hey Noah. Thank you for making these videos, I've been a silent follower of your channel for a while now, and I've found your videos very helpful in dire times. Personally I find that the anxiety to be way worse. I have been an anxious person all my life, and while my depression seems to come and go, my anxiety is nearly always there. I had a recent episode last winter, during that time I was homebound for almost 4 months. Now I'm doing a lot better and I hope this will continue. I wish you all the best, and thank you for being who you are.

@jdg493 6 лет назад

I suffer from both and without a doubt anxiety is more debilitating for the very reasons you all said here. For me the anxiety fuels the depression. I think if I could eliminate the anxiety I wouldn’t have such a problem with the depression. I’m 53 now and have dealt with anxiety since a teenager. It’s been under control for most of my adult life but once I started going through menopause the anxiety went through the roof and deep depression followed.

@pug_on_ya_rug3711 7 лет назад

@beautysandthebeast5587 6 лет назад

pug_on_ya_rug ive suffered with OCD since the age of 9, over 40 years, i thubk that this was the reason for my severe depression and major anxiety plus feeling like an hypochondriac, nothing wud help, but recently I bought a book on overcoming OCD, and after reading just 50 pages my OCD almost disappeared for over 5 weeks, it did come back but I've started reading the rest and after 1 day of reading I feel better, please invest in a book because it makes u understand the way our mind works compared to most and what we can do to instead of avoid our terrible unwanted thoughts, just to realise that them thoughts are just like a particle of water in a river, it's not gona affect the river at all, just like our intruding thoughts do not affect our real lives, and we jyst have to train our brain to remember this, and them thoughts then have no meaning and over time will lose power and eventually dissipate. I still suffer from it, but as soon as i picked that book up i felt so different within hours. all the best.

@JohnCurtisE 7 лет назад

I've been in a weird mental state for most of my adult life. It was mostly depression and alcoholism. Within the last like 9 years, Anxiety has decided to show it's ugly face. I had no idea what was happening, It was a physical thing like i was being poisoned or something. It all mostly comes from my alcohol abuse, or if i've drank energy drinks or alot of coffee. I had experienced a traumatic anxiety attack, I literally thought i was dying. I got dizzy, my arms and fingers got tingly, i started stuttering. I got to my girlfriend at the times car, and sat down and asked to get taken to the hospital, as we were driving, the attack got very physical. Hyper ventilation, the muscles in my hands and face seized up, i started having convulsions, it felt like my heart was literally coming out of my chest. I thought i was experiencing a heart attack. I was like 25 or 26 at the time. That was the only attack of that magnitude that i have had. I cut hard alcohol out of my life since that moment. Although i've played russian roulette with it a few times, being a dumb ass. I've had numerous close call's since. I am still battling alcoholism, and i know that contributes greatly to both my depression and anxiety, but i am stuck and it's unbelievably hard to get out of this stupid bubble i am trapped in. I am also stubborn, so it's really messed up. I'll take depression over anxiety, especially the attacks, ANY DAY. That attack i had, to this day, is the scariest thing i have ever experienced. It felt like i was knocking on the doors of death. No thank you. My main goal it to stamp out my alcoholism, but i cannot do that on my own. My stubborn side 100% believes i can do what ever i put my mind to. It's such a god damn confuckulation.

@metsot 6 лет назад

On the other hand because we know depression makes us ruminate and definitely wants to constantly remind us of the fact that were are depressed we can end up using too much time pondering about things that may be fruitless. We know anxiety is also a symptom of depression. Like you guys noted that it's better to try to socialize with people instead of withdrawing and isolating oneself - it's a bit similar here ...pondering about these things doesn't help us go forward but going out for a game of tennis etc just may.

My anxiety breakdown is way intense I miss the simple things in life. Just taking a shower, cooking any small task is overwhelming. The constant 24/7 anxiety is debilitating.

I have watched only some of your videos and what I’ve seen had been great. It is my husband who suffers by both; anxiety and depression. For him the most head numbing thing is his physical symptom of anxiety- his constant chest pain. I don’t know if you had any physical symptoms with your anxiety or not. My husband is in a place where he believes he will never feel better, that his chest pain will never go and that of course is only feeding further into his anxiety. It’s a bloody vicious circle. Hard life man for all of us. He’s been like this for 9 months and it feels like years!!!!

@kirstenschaenzer6991 7 лет назад

I went through a bad depression from about the age of 15-19. just numb, no interest in anything, suicidal thoughts. it was the worst! it came back around 23 and hung on for about a year and went away. when I was about 28 it came back full force out of nowhere!! but with it came these weird feelings I've never had before, which I realized later was anxiety. it, was, terrifying!! and at that point in my life I've got two kids, so I would lock myself in the bathroom breaking down having panic attacks, not knowing what to do. barely knowing what was going on since ive not experienced it before. not wanting my kids to witness it. that went on for about a year or so. I'm now 30 and not too bad off currently. every now and then I do feel this real nervous energy course through me, and it's just a strange feeling. but I would have to agree with you and Douglas that the anxiety seems to be worse and is definitely, debilitating. I've never felt so out of control!

@Rina.J89 4 года назад

After experiencing extreme anxiety I can take depression any day. It was worse that dying in my opinion. It was so hard to just be able to tolerate all the minutes in the day... Depression is more passive so you can learn to practice patience and wait for it to slowly lift eventually. But with anxiety you cannot be patient and you just want to exit your own skin 🥵

@Rina.J89 4 года назад

You want to be able to leave your body in one place, and run away from it as fast and as hard as you can. You feel like abandoning your body because it is literal hell in there. That’s why these episodes can be extremely suicidal.

@trudi1962 7 лет назад

I can't choose. It's like asking which child I love more 😉 My anxiety and depression are caused by chronic pain. When I'm having a bad 'pain' day, and the walls of the shopping mall fall in on me (anxiety attack) , it then triggers a depressive episode. Excersize at these times is difficult because it hurts so much. So I wait.... When I feel normal (as normal as can be these days), I work out and walk the dog. When I'm bad, I let my dog on the bed (special occasion) and he comforts me. I haven't found a drug I can tolerate long term, and not keen on the drug approach anyway.

@guesswho5790 6 лет назад

I got depressed because of my social anxiety and PTSD. To me, both are terrible. But I prefer to have anxiety over depression. When that black cloud hits me, I literally cannot get anything done. My body just says NOPE, you ain't doin' notin' today. I suffer while I'm anxious, the intensity varies depending on how triggered I am that day. So, I have a bad time while I get things done, but at least I'm active. Now that I'm doing better what I'll do is measure how triggered/anxious I feel, and get stuff done according to how badly I'm doing on that day. I do this to avoid getting overwhelmed and eventually depressed because of the hyperactivity of my adrenal glands. Gotta think about those stress levels and hormones. It's kind of cool really. After a while I've learned that I must listen to when my body is telling me enough is enough, and when it's time to call it a day, and not being apologetic about it. Haven't been majorly depressed in over a month after tuning into my feelings and physiological responses.

You may try using the audio all from the main camera and then just edit the video cuts in where you want to keep it constant. I could be wrong but that's what it sounds like. Keep up the good work man and I look forward to see were you go with this channel.

Lately, I've been trying to figure out what is worse... I think I might be depressed or just suffering from anxiety... you see, sometimes I'd wake up, afraid of being alive. Not sure if that's just the thought that I am force to get out of bed and live my life when i am scared of leaving my bed. I feel like the world can swallow me up at any moment. Its not that I worry, it's that I have a terrible feeling of being scared. And I'm not sure exactly why im scared but I am, and I'm trying to run away from it. Get away from that feeling that has been following me everywhere I go. I walk to the park, I walk all over downtown, and i cant run away from it. Like a addict who is going through some hard withdraws and I'm shaking all over completely paranoid. And the when I think I might be depressed, I could lie in bed all day, and the world could be ending and it wouldn't phase me at all. I can't think, I feel completely blind, amd I cant make rational decisions because my mind fogs up.

I don’t think either depression or anxiety is worse. Depending on the severity, either could be worse or better.

@adrianmascote5389 5 лет назад

I suffer from both anxiety and depression and I always have both of them at the same time cause when your anxious you get overwhelmed and then after I get really depressed but I think anxiety is worse cause anxiety makes you stop living your favorite life but depression is feeling hopeless anxiety is worse

@adrianmascote5389 5 лет назад

And I think anxiety is the cause of depression

Bothare horrendous but anxiety / agitation is slightly worse in my opinion but depression is veryvery bad also.

@happytrails699 7 лет назад

I think whatever you have you feel is worse. When my son experienced severe anxiety, he said he wish he had anything else. Now that he is experiencing depression, he thinks this is the worst thing in his life. For me, I find his anxiety easier to be around than his depression. Depression leaves a black cloud over the whole house. What do you do when depression just won't go away? My son has been dealing with it for over a year. He exercises, gets out in nature, tries to be busy and mindful, it just won't go away. Please have Doug talk more about things that can help depression.

Marla Robinson doug hase really great book hailing from depression

@appledough3843 7 лет назад

Marla Robinson Get his blood work checked. He's probably low on something. If he's low in vitamin D or any of the B vitamins then that's the cause. Also check to see his testosterone is well. And mindfulness works all the time. If it didn't work then that's how you know he didn't do it right. It's not gonna work right away. Give it time and keep at it. Don't just give up after a few tries. Keep at it.

@Rustyhound-Cartoons 7 лет назад

No, for some people mindfulness makes the condition worse. Especially common in people with Pure O OCD, or denationalization. It can drive you crazy because your already so mindful of everything.

Many people (myself included) have Depression along with other disorders, such as Anxiety/Panic Disorder (as well as other disorders). Depression, for many people, can be comorbid.

@newbooksmell4163 4 года назад

It's weird, depression makes me feel suicidal yet it also feels less painful? Anxiety, I'm imagining everything that can go wrong or even things I've done or what I should be doing or etc. etc. But depression... there's just death quite. I'll even try to make myself anxious/feel something by reminding myself of all the stuff I have to do, but instead I just feel guilty. Guilt generally leading to self harm, (which I generally only did/do when I was anxious as heck). So if you can maintain the groggy thoughtlessness of depression it can be a little break from feeling, however any longer than a couple days should be classified as a form of torture. It feels like someone's closed your eyes only it's with a wet towel and you can't remember what air felt like or sun looked like.

@maggiebuehler8484 5 лет назад

It is so hard to relax when you are anxious and then depression seems to find you, it can be extremely tiring I hate feeling anxious I am still working my dr wanted me to take time off but I couldn't no one to take over my job also I would be afraid I would not go back...

@codycleveland2853 7 лет назад

My anxiety causes my depression. I feel like I'm banished to my house which makes me depressed. I'm very similar to you in the way you feel overstimulated in a store or in pubic. I get the feeling that I'm going pass out my vision gets blurry and I feel like my brain can't process what I'm seeing.

@petulia67 4 года назад

I would say whatever you have at the moment seems worse. But if depression allows you to sleep at least you have an escape. Can’t sleep with anxiety and agitation. Even worse I would say, is adding physical pain where you can’t tell if it’s worse pain because you are depressed. And if there is antidepressant that helps as fast as some anti-anxiety, please tell us what it is.

@andygreer8645 5 лет назад

Your comment touch me, friend. I, too have dealt with anxiety and depression throughout a number of years. Don't know if you've had any panic attacks, but I've had them while at work. They eventually caused my to quit my job and go to work for myself. I have received counseling and medication which really does help. I encourage you to do the same. You will be okay. God is in control. When God created you, he created a masterpiece. Remember that. Ask Jesus to be your Savior today if you haven't already. I will pray for you.

@laurenberntson6317 4 года назад

I feel like they are both horrible. I have been experiencing both for a while now with OCD as the topper. I feel like I am never at peace. I get horrible anxiety and have no way of coping with it because the depression has sucked my will to do anything or enjoy anything. How do you get past this if you're stuck between a rock and a hard place?

@isabellezablocki7447 5 лет назад

People who say they prefer anxiety,let me tell you that your anxiety is "worry" but people like us who suffer serious anxiety disorder knows that anxiety is the Lucifer that cripples us.

Both are pure hell , I get an initial outside trigger then anxiety and depression will trigger each other . I often ask the same question ... Which one would I rather have ?... The answer is There is no winner as they are both absolutely horrible .

@vital123ish 7 лет назад

Hi Noah, do you have a video explaining how to know if you need to use TRT, some guidelines? how to tell if you need it or not? also guidelines how to test for testosterone?

@isabellezablocki7447 5 лет назад

Both hurt tremendously. Anxiety is short intense agony that can be relieved by a pill. Depression is a long agony that cannot be relieved by a single pill. The point is people kill themselves from deep depression not from intense anxiety. Understanding, compassion and love to people sick with mental illnesses is such a key factor for their recovery.

@andreasdluffy1208 6 лет назад

Both are bad. But in my opinion extreme anxiety like panic disorder, ocd and derealization is worse

@marial3301 3 года назад

I agree. Anxiety is worse. DP/DR, and globus/breathing problems (both symptoms of anxiety) especially are just terrifying.

@marial3301 3 года назад

DP/DP is definitely the worst IMO. Anxiety symptoms are just terrifying, but the fix is actually very simple (simple doesn't mean easy!!!) - looking after yourself, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, structure, regular sleep routine, being in touch with nature, finding a hobby/new passion, spiritual practices/yoga/meditation, emotional support/pets, natural/holistic therapies incl. adaptogenic herbs, reflexology, breathing exercises. Resolving hidden mental trauma and pain (by e.g self-analysis, forgiveness) might be essential too. Simple but not easy.

Dr Pancho117 Look up a guided meditation for clear mind or a grounding meditation,you won't believe how helpful it is:)

@Rustyhound-Cartoons 7 лет назад

That depends. It effects people differently. In the past it has made me feel way worse. Like a booster to what I was already experiencing, it wasn't fun. I guess it was the equivalent of having a bad trip on acid. Except it lasted for days. Pretty sure I was on the verge of entering a psychosis.

@rb9951 7 лет назад

Quick question, I seriously want to know this before I commit way too hard to the point of no return. For when you were gaining mad strength after trt, you mentioned that you wished you waited for your joints to catch up. How fast is too fast and how much is too much? I've been really bothered by this since I have pretty much gone my 8th month lifting and I am making good intermediate strength gains slowly. But I'm wondering how long should my joints strengthen up.
