Something copied and pasted from Swole Source, related to improving and being stuck at 80% as per one member mentioned.
May be mildly interesting. In short, things are improving overall, and other issues -- that are normal in life are more apparent. Because now I can actually deal with them (better-equipped at least)

Because motivation increases and you can feel (most your emotions now) and you want to do something about it, so things that would make you mad/annoyed in normal life, piss you off again. I had way too many issues to care about things like facial hair coming back, or sex drive, until major things were resolved or on their way to being resolved. Same kind of thing, once I get to 80% if sex drive is only 60-80% I'll be more pissed off about it. But at my worst, it wasn't really on my mind except for testicular shrinkage (which freaked me the fuck out).

Same when I had PSSD (but other confounding issues - which were even worse than that). 80% sex drive, or a bad track record with dating, was nothing compared to being crazy and on the run (so to speak, and also actually). Same with life, -- it's hard to cry over (something minor), bc you've seen worse. Price = MC, marginal cost d.n.e. Marginal Benefit.
Also "The Law Of Diminishing Returns".
Emotion and motivation are (of course) intrinsically tied. So sexual drive coming back full force, means motivation in all other aspects of life is there too.

"Couldn't agree more. The more my brain improves the more I think about dating again and the more pissed off I get about my lifeless dick. This wasn't as much of a concern a few months ago when my brain was telling me to jump off a roof."
