    Just last week i was chatting with a friend outside the gym when a former gym buddy i hadn't seen in a decade passed by us saying hello dragging his tongue inside his mouth. After he passed us, my friend started telling me how he has been in and out mental institutions after dabling with steroids.
    He is not the only one i know.
    A close friend of mine got schizophrenic or bipolar after a couple of low dose steroid cycles. To this day he is totally dependent on his brother, having a hard time keeping either a job or a girlfriend.
    Both kids around 30 year old now
    It's the ONE side effect nobody talks about.
    Have you seen this happen?

Sounds like the effects from Covid.

I've seen mentally ill people wearing masks walking and driving cars around all by themselves.

Exactly.

People with mental illness and substance abuse problems many times get into AAS and make things worse.

I've never seen anyone change mentally on steroids. Maybe become more aggressive, but that's about it. When you come off the AAS you can be very emotional due to the change in hormone profiles. But it's not that big of a deal.

Schizophrenia typically appears during late adolescence/ early adulthood - also the time when  most juicers start.  Coincidence, likely.

That said - EQ gave me bad anxiety, and I've heard this from others too.

EQ and Tren give me anxiety. EQ not so much, but Tren can mess with people.

People need to realize there are side effects from messing with your hormones. A lot of our emotions are based on hormones.

That's why women are more emotional than men, estrogen.
