A little background info, I am 20 yr old male. Fitness enthusiast. I have done sports my whole life
I was a decent wrestler placing at state in high school, a marine currently in the reserves, and now I move to lift weights seriously and have added 35 pounds of muscle to my frame the last 6 months.
My OCD and anxiety presented itself around 2nd grade as germiphobia, or even before that as separate and social anxiety in early school but this can be a normal issue for most kids that age. Then it disappeared throughout middle school until freshman year I developed body issue image out of nowhere I was Lean and fit. Not fat not scrawny am average guy. I had exercise bulimia I would punish myself for eating by working out intense 2-3 tomes a day 7 days a week. I saw therapist and for over this by end if freshman year. I still dealt with some thoughts of it occasionally but managed to keep them in control. Then my senior year I started getting extreme muscle weskenss and fatigue. My limbs were heavy, couldn't workout no matter how well I are or rested. I thought I overtrained so I rested a whole month same back and same thing weskenss and fatigue. Also insomnia and IBS diarhea in particular.
Well eventually it for better and I wet to marine boot camp. Been 3 years since then. I still notcie occasional fatigue and weskenss. Like I can't handle as much exercise now. I am a certified trainer and health but I know howto eat and train. I am surrounded by bodybuilders as well so I hav some knowledge on this aspect. But no matter how well I do I seem to have low exercise tolerance. Could OCD and anxiety cause it? Could it be high cortisol from anxiety? I hve some amazing energyyyy and just plain horrible ones. Also I am always tired in the day. Only have energy and morning or night.
I got blood work and the only thing came back high was ck enzymes but that's Becasue I lift weights so tj muscle is damaged after workouts.
Ps I turned to AAS mainly testosterone and this has helped my energy and anxiety as well.
Yes I know the risks of AAS but it's my body. AAS=anabolic steroids
