But mentally i am feeling weak as compared to previously what i was. please do help as i am feeling that life is useless and getting suicidal thoughts every now and then.

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. A lot of body building supplements consists of steroids and some also consist of testosterone. These impure supplements could cause development of impotence if used for long time. Prolonged steroid intake can cause depression and this may result in significant impairment in functioning. Your symptoms of poor concentration, sleepiness, lack of motivation, poor sexual desire etc are most likely due to these side effects. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for treatment and evaluation. For such symptoms medicines like SSRIs can help. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc can help in improvement of these symptoms. Visit a psychiatrist for help and don't use such type of supplements again in future.
Thanks, hope this helps you
