I’m nearing 30 and honestly feel completely burned out after 2+ years of chronic stress and overwork.
Over time I’ve developed pretty much every symptom you can imagine:

- zero libido
- chronic fatigue / no energy
- depression-like symptoms
- anxiety
- personality changes / emotional flatness
- brain fog
- loss of motivation and drive
- poor recovery and just feeling “off” all the time

The weird thing is that on paper I should be healthy. I’m very fit, muscular, low body fat, train regularly, barely drink alcohol, don’t smoke cigarettes, sleep reasonably well, and generally eat clean.

I’ve been getting bloodwork done for more than a year and my testosterone came back borderline low. Not clinically crashed, but definitely lower than expected for someone my age and lifestyle. Like at 300 ng/dL.

I’m starting to wonder whether years of chronic stress / burnout basically wrecked my hormones and nervous system.

Has anyone here had experience with TRT helping specifically with chronic burnout / fatigue symptoms like this? Especially when the issue seemed stress-related rather than just aging?

And just to be clear: I already know the potential downsides, side effects, fertility implications, lifelong commitment etc. I’m not looking for lectures about that.

What I genuinely want to know is whether TRT actually helped people recover from severe burnout symptoms — mentally, emotionally, physically, energy-wise — or whether it ultimately didn’t make much difference.

At this point I barely feel like myself anymore, so I’d really appreciate honest real-world experiences, both positive and negative.
