Check your testosterone!

Be careful with that stuff... Once you get on therapy, it shuts down normal production. I know for me, my production went down as a product of my environment as the result of an injury that kept me bed ridden. Some people just have low test as a seasonal thing, while others have genuine reasons.

It doesn't matter if you are taking 100mg a week, or 1000mg a week. Your body is being told it is overproducing so it'll reduce production until it stops producing all together in an attempt to bring it down to the levels it thinks it should be at.

Either way, I went on TRT to help get me that motivation back. Once on, it's hard to come off. I even went and blasted (taking large doses near athlete levels) and gained a bit of muscle. Test is like a fucking lifestyle drug. Tread carefully.

Before jumping at the chance for a testosterone replacement drug you should first check if diet and exercise (weightlifting) can help. After all training your own body to produce more T is far far better in the long run than shoving chemicals into your body.

check if you're getting proper nutritional intake, i.e. zinc, etc -- it can have a massive effect

Hard to fuking believe, 24 years old and time to read up more on this.

Lift heavy 4 times a week, good diet and sleep. Recently got a big lump under one nipple. Also got many low t symtpoms...

Not really surprised though, with all the shit I've heard about BPA etc.

Ask your doctor for IM injections once per week. The dose is more reliable and stable than gels will be.

come over to r/steroids, there is a wealth of information for you

Lifting weights should make your testosterone go up. However, if you give it up, it goes back down. Better to be "addicted" to exercise than anything else. So many benefits.

Be careful, according to studies and personal experience test may: Increase anxiety, impulsiveness, focus, energy, and levels of not giving a fuck

What this means is that if you have argument there is a higher chance that it will be a big argument. You will have the focus to spot the bullshit. You will have the energy to prove that your right. You will have the impulsiveness to just go for it. You will have the Not Give a Fuck to be outcome independent.

So basically you become more prone to taking risks. What this means is you need to be more careful at your job because you will be more prone to starting shit and continuing the shit others started. You need to be more careful not to escalate arguments with your girlfriend, or deescalate her arguments.

Above all you need to avoid conflict at all cost, by being polite, respectful, well mannered and generous. Stand up for yourself but avoid situations that can cause stress.

Take cold showers for a week and see what happens

Yeah, that's good advice. I listened to a medical podcast where the host occasionally brought up how testosterone is often overlooked.
