I'd normally PM on a subject like this, but don't post enough for that functionality.

I've read through several of your posts here and the mental health group. I'm not a doctor, but have faced some of the same issues you have, but not to the severity you describe. From what I've read, you have low T and high E. High E can suppress T. And fat cells hold onto E like crazy. If you are overweight, losing weight can help self adjust E and T to more "normal" values.

Supportive family and friends are very important in keeping you grounded. Good luck with telling your dad.
