Yes, I'm much better.
Fasting ALL of January (very difficult at first, but living a life of misery is worse, and wanting to harm self --- horrible, no one deserves to feel like that).
-Less depression/suicidality:
I didn't workout a year and 2 months or so bc of finasteride. I worked out the last 14 d in a row and over 110 days or so this year. So it definitely helped depression. But I need to do things like that because I'm perpetually wired and it helps me be happier (before and after post-finasteride syndrome). It helps confidence and focus a lot (not enough always, but taking a break and relaxing, seeing friends, meeting people can also help).
3 days a week workouts to 4 to 7 since mid March I think. So I'm more functional - less depressed and less labotomized. I'm a functional person again. I have a few other things to work on but as I work on that I fully expect the vast majority of remaining PFS symptoms to dissipate. If not, I will have fixed most. I don't know man, how to explain what I'm trying to say.
If I was actively suicidal...
And could not see a future at all, and now I'm a workaholic again for the most part... And a fitness enthusiast again, and actually smile most days at least breifly... Then yeah depression is fine, if those are measures. I have big goals, and unfortunately I'm very results-oriented so I can't very much "enjoy the journey", but I'm trying.
And I know you're not on fin anymore.
But the point is... The more drugs, the less easy it is to pinpoint the cause.
Anything above 3 is asking for trouble for serious drugs /meds. And for things like finasteride, one is quite bad on its own.
