x123, I wonder if declining testosterone levels could be contributing to your lack of interest, your fatigue, and your depression?

That's interesting that your sex drive decreased and then increased again. I have read that sex drive in women peaks in the 40s whereas for men it peaks in the 20s. Actually I was watching a women's triathlon and the commentator mentioned that female endurance athletes actually increase their performance into the 30s whereas men get weaker after their early 20s.
You are probably right that my testosterone is down. The problem is that I suspect my testosterone has always been lower than normal for a male. I would almost rather let my testosterone drop like nature intended, because I don't have a sex partner and I never have had a sex partner and I never will have a sex partner and I don't want a sex partner anymore. The highlight of my day is when I lay down in bed and my cat likes to knead his paws on my stomach before I go to sleep. (That's our little routine.
