I feel inadequate; lack of the quantity or quality which in insufficient to obtain girls and abandoned hope of comfort or success. In general state of low spirits caused by loss of hope or courage. Should anti-depressants help fix this?

My experience: yes, they should. But in ADDITION to drugs lowering T, not INSTEAD of. Without Triptorelin I'd be as terribly depressed as I used to be since 2008. Now I'm not unhappy anymore.

I did feel the same way you did.

I also felt that I never "fit in" I took an extreme option of moving to a country were I could NEVER "fit in". It is a very freeing experience. Not for everyone of course.

I did get married and have a son.

You are still quite young. There is time for all things.

I stayed single over my lifetime! And I find that I may actually have enjoyed life more the others all along. The down side of course is that everyone talks of their children and exes and so forth whereas I have nothing to talk about. I did however gravitate to befriending the elderly throughout my life. But then again I suppose I have nothing to show for that too. When I was young I did have a lot of prodding to get married and to have kids. Biologically I could never have kids and women didn't seem to be interested in me so I quit the scene and have been happy ever since.
