I think of myself as being in fairly good shape, certainly better than a lot of 55 year olds. My work is a lot of bending and walking, lifting, and climbing of stairs. I'm getting more exercise now than I was when I was a welder! Something I never did before, I'm even taking vitamins. (prenatal*) So adding a little more work to my normal workload shouldn't make me feel so tired and run down, should it?
And then it hit me. There is very little "T" in my system. That drug of male sex addicts, energy enhancer for professional bicyclists, and the cruel joke that was played on us trans girls, has been purposely zapped from my system and is being replaced with estrogen. Add to that my poor sleeping pattern and it's no wonder that I'm tired!
So there you go girls. Other than helpful in making babies, giving you strength and stamina is all I can find good about testosterone. I'll stick with the plan I'm on. If I get too weak, I'll find me a big, strong, testosterone infused, muscle man to help me out!

* It was suggested by quite a few people to start taking prenatal vitamins with the idea that some women who take them experience hair growth. In my quest for a hair cure, I'll try anything! Besides, it can't hurt taking them, and if by some chance there would be a miraculous pregnancy I'd certainly want the baby to be born healthy! LOL

I hope they help with your hair. I know the only time in her life the dark circles under my wife's eyes have gone away is when she was taking those...
I don't know if Melatonin would help with you sleep or not; it did mine when I was working 12's the last few years at GM before I retired. I read about it in "Alaska" magazine in an article about coping with "Seasonal Affective Disorder" and a bottle was only $5.50 at Sam's or Costco. You can Google it to read up on it...

I don't think the lack of testosterone is to blame for zapped energy. Women go without T and many work, make babies, have babies, have more sex to have babies and all while keeping a sleek figure and a full time job in heels! Maybe what you need is B Complex and Folic Acid. They should help with your blues too! I think the real culprit is the depression you've been experiencing. Try the B complex (not just B12-you need them all found in B Complex) and the folic acid!
