dear sufferers,
i am 24 years old (male) and have suffered of social anxiety since my early childhood. furthermore i was chronic depressed (the atypical form) with lot of add-like symptoms. i never felt like the real me before..i never felt like the person, who i used to be.
a few months ago i made a hormone therapy with bioidentical progesterone after beeing tested on low progestereone..and it was a miracle for me!
it changed my personality completely within a few days, i no longer have social phobia, i am no longer this instable, touchy person..i no longer felt humiliation at the slightest provocation. i also noticed that people are more talkative to me..it is like they trust me more after the progesterone therapy!
i can´t really understand, that this small hormone has such an effect on me..but it seems that progesterone is also a very important hormone in male. first you must seriously dismiss the theory, that progesterone is a female hormone..in fact it is an antagonist of estrogen!
there are some possible theories, why progesterone affects my social anxiety so much..
1) Progesterone modulates GABA and glutamate:it improves the function of GABA recepteros and inhibit the impact of glutamate.
3) Progesterone is a powerful remedy for low blood sugar and high adrenaline levels..and in accordance to dr. michael platt a low progesterone level is the cause of ADD and also involved in depression. take a look at his book called "The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones"
4) It seems, that there are a lot of other neurotransmitters like serotonin involved in the effectiveness of progesterone.
go to a doctor who is working with bioidentical hormones..get your progesterone level tested (progesterone is important for male and female!) it is surely worth a try!
