I have dated 2 steriod users, the last for 3.5 yrs. What the user doesn't realize is how they act towards others when they're raging. It's like dating a bipolar person. I honestly think there is serious denial and brain damage as the user will go to huge lengths to legitamize what they're doing and to continue despite the health costs. All steriod users will say they are fine, it doesn't change them, because of the cycles of depression that they go thru when they are off. Lies. When a steriod user is in a cycle, they become moody and agressive, and from my experience verbally abusive and delusional. They are not aware how they are acting. They know they are on edge but only being with one and the rollercoaster it causes can one truly understand. That person is just like any other drug user--seeking the high, in denial of what it is doing to them. There are highs just like there are lows if a cycle is stopped. Their libidos go wild. They don't care about who they are hurting because their egos become so inflated and they are so self focused they lose all compassion for others which they most likely didn't have to begin with. Anyone who would rather shave years off their life for a sick muscle fetish doesn't care much for their health to begin with, whuch is a mental disorder. It just is. Being the person in the addict's life, you see multiple personalities. It is bizarre and shocking and gutwrenching at times. Steriod abusers aren't capable of being in normal relationships.
For example, if you were is a relationship and your partner asked you to stop using and you can't for whatever the reason, then obviously taking the steriods is more important to you than the relationship. In a normal relationship a person would care that they are hurting the other person and stop. In the steriod relationship, the user only cares about getting their pump on and the highs that come along with strength and looks and the admiration and could give a rats arse about the relationship. It is a classic user senario when a user refuses to quit. If someone else thinks you are hurting yourself and you don't care you are a user. Both of my steriod users they kept messy homes tossing gym clothes and towels all over the floor. They recluse themselves typically living alone so they can continue using. There are needles everywhere. They have reckless sex and use lots of online masturbation compulsively because they cannot control their sex drives. What this does to relationships is disastorous. How would you like to be in a relationship with someone you couldn't have regular sex with because they are too busy getting it elsewhere or self gratifying? How would you like to be in a relationship with someone who gets angry over dumb things, like in traffic or the way other people are working out in the gym? Steriod users additionally become easily irritable at stupid things because they honestly believe that everyone is their enemy and out to get them. They keep secrets and lie believing that others are doing the same to them because their brains are damaged by the excessive proteins. Meanwhile they will blame everyone else for their troubles never accepting responsibility when their relationships fail and when they get into altercations.
