Steroids and Anxiety..

[3ebmike]

Is there a correlation between the two? I've always had anxiety but managed to keep it under wraps... it's kicked in to high gear ever since i've started my cycle.. that's partly why i think my heart rate has been up.. also have noticed not wanting to go out as much, and just to be left alone.

edit: did some more research it looks like it's common... felt like i was dying when i had when in the gym tonight though.. is it normal with test prop?

I have it severely could just have had a reoccurre because your doing something that is scary for you the first time.

Are you being honest with yourself when you say that, "you've been able to keep it under wraps."?

With regards to wanting to be left alone....does being around other people and the thought of your social performance create stress for you?

i mean usually i'm able to tell myself it's just a panic attack and i'll be fine.. i think the thought of steroids raising bp made it worse because they got in my head when my heart was racing and was convinced i was going to have a heart attack. they're definitely playing with my moods though, getting extremely sensitive, or angry. i'm typically a pretty social person but definitely have my moments were i just become a recluse for like a week or so.

no. i know i should probably but i really don't want to go down that route until it's literally affecting my ability to live. i'd hate to depend on some pill every day, i'd rather just work it out in my head.
