    Glad to hear you feel better. There are supplements available that have similar effects on brain chemistry as some anti-depressants. Look for a good shop that knows their stuff not a gnc or some place like that. Look up now brand sups online their stuff is organic good stuff. Se if they have anything for mood. Maybe get a puppy or give someone a hug.

    Remember that depression is an illness you can’t just turn it off by saying I am not depressed. However, there are ways to control cognitive function. So you can in some ways provide a form of self therapy.

    Smile Insight?

    Guys!

    Here's my guess about what's going on:

    1. Hotpink has been cutting for the last few months and has reduced her activity level, along with calories that are probably below-maintenance. She's been cutting for maybe 2 or 3 months already...?

    2. Hotpink has been out of the gym for an entire month. Not good... If ya absolutely can't make it to the gym, at least do outdoor cardio, but PLEASE don't let more than two weeks go by between weight sessions. You will find out why when you go back - your former weights will be SO HEAVY. I found that out after two weeks out of the gym - I don't want to know what happens after a month...

    2. Except for the clen , I don't think that hotpink is actually _running_ a cycle. My guess is that what started today or yesterday is her girly cycle. There's a big peak of estrogen right before that starts and this can make gals feel cranky, lethargic etc. Then, once the monthly girl thing is happening, progesterone increases, estrogen gets back under control, and the bloating and lethargy decrease.

    Here's my advice for hotpink:

    First, go enjoy a couple of big, solid restaurant meals that are reasonably healthy but are a lot more than what you've _been_ eating the last couple of months. Maybe try an Indian, Chinese or Mexican restaurant and get a dish with meat and veggies in it - just go easy on the white rice or flour tortillas. Try basmati rice or corn tortillas instead.

    After this cheat day, resume eating at maintenance (rather than below). Plan on doing another cut a little later...now might just not be the time for it.

    Some people say that it is unwise to cut for more than a month or so at a time.

    Get back on a _regular_ w/o schedule. You WILL be sore the first time or two, and you will be disappointed in your lifts after such a long break. However, if you are eating clean, and are eating at maintenance, you can build the weights/reps back up pretty quickly.

    And, consider tapering off the clen.

    Do you have adequate protein, good fat (fish, nuts, olive oil), and slow-digesting carb (brown rice, oats, fruits/veggies, sweet potato) intake?

    Are you taking multivitamins?

    If you still don't feel better after maybe 4 days, perhaps see an urgent care clinic.

    Hotpink, was my guess correct that you've been cutting bf this summer for a WHILE and that you are NOT running an AAS cycle but are just having the monthly thing?

    I hope you're feeling better! I'll bet you'll be sore after your w/o!

    Well you're pretty much a God. But I haven't been cutting this whole summer at all. And the month I was out of the gym, I was still pretty active. Working M-F for 6-8 hours a day, constantly on my feet and moving. My diet is great and yes I take vitamins. You were also right about the weights, ahhh I'm so weak!

    Well, I'm hardly God and not psychic - was just guessing at the reason for tiredness. Hope you're feeling a lot better energy level now.

    How is your sleep? Mine gets sorta disrupted if I don't w/o for several days.

    Anavar w/no weights for a month?? How is it gonna work if there isn't muscle stimulation from lifting? Do you lift heavy things (repeatedly) on the job? (I had a job in a factory that involved lifting - I think I woulda terrorized my coworkers if I had been taking anavar LOL).

    You didn't offend me, I'm just really tired already and kind of pissy. I have a log going on and no its not my first. Second or third, don't feel like thinking too hard right now

    I was in a funk for a time- no energy, motivation was zero. I got a B12 shot and pushed myself back into the gym- hit cardio and weights with a vengence...did the trick.

    there is only one bad cut that hasn't healed. and its right under my index finger and near my thumb. The way the butterfly bandages are I can't close it all of the way. and I was completely impatient and wanted to change those about 2 nights ago, took them off, and the whole thing split open again. eek

    Just go and give them some fake name and ssn and fake parents names, etc. Tell them you want to apply for a sliding scale rate of payment if they have it.

    About 20 years ago I went to a hospital because I didn't have insurance and thought I had VD so I wanted to get checked and treated and I gave them my friends name lol
    I made up a ssn and gave them his parents names and his address and his birthday. I made up his mothers maiden name. Either they didn't ask for ID or I told them I didn't have any.

    The funny part was like 4 years later I was at that friends house and the phone rang and he answered and he was saying "I told you it wasn't me, stop calling and trying to collect money from me!" Then he hung up the phone. Then he told me "XYZ hospital keeps calling me like every few months trying to collect on some bill and I have never been there before. They have the wrong ssn though so they can't do sh*t!" He was pretty angry about it. Then I started LMAO and told him I used his info to get checked for VD there several years back hahaha

    This was in MA though, FL might have stricter ways of dealing with ppl in hospitals. Up here ppl still don't need ID I don't think.
