The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
It might be, if you estimate that increases in your social desirability would do more for your happiness than the decreases from possible steroid side-effects. If you start taking steroids, you better do a shit-ton of research first on endocrinology, maybe freeze your sperm before you do this if you really want kids later on (you can still have kids, but you need what's called a "post-cycle therapy" to make your body restart producing testosterone on your own). And be aware that once you start steroids, you're basically committing yourself to a lifetime of TRT. Be aware that you could get enlarged organs, really fucking bad acne on your body, small testicles, high blood pressure, weird mood swings, etc. But it still might be worth it for you.
