During a steroid cycle, I experienced a mix of emotions. Initially, I felt a boost in confidence, motivation, and energy, which was exciting and empowering. However, as the cycle progressed, I noticed occasional irritability and mood swings, which sometimes felt overwhelming. There were moments when I felt more aggressive or impatient, which I had to consciously manage in my interactions.
After the cycle, the emotional landscape shifted. Coming off steroids brought feelings of fatigue and a noticeable drop in mood. It was challenging to adjust to the hormonal changes, and I occasionally felt low or unmotivated. However, with proper post-cycle therapy (PCT) and a focus on self-care, including exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness, I was able to navigate these emotions and regain a sense of balance over time.
For anyone considering steroids, I’d recommend being prepared for these emotional ups and downs and having a strong support system in place. It’s also essential to prioritize mental health alongside physical goals.
