Apparently me and soy don't get along.

So I bought some soy protein, because my mother's been buying less meat, and soy protein was on sale for a ridiculously cheap price at a closeout store I shop at, buy one get one free for 1.25lbs, so 2.5lbs per $5. So I was using it like...100g of it a day or so? Today I had one in the morning, felt terrible, then had a few glasses or regular whole milk without protein and felt awesome. So I'm assuming me and soy do not get along, probably due to the phyto-estrogens. Oh well, still got 1.6ish lbs left, but yeah, not gonna touch soy stuff for a while. But yeah, it was just the worst horrible "depression" ever, wow. I'll see how it is tomorrow without it, but yeah, seems like no more soy for me.

Eh, if I wanted soy I'd eat something that has it.

You don't have enough basis to support your claims yet. But soy do indeed contain hormones that can (and in large enough amounts will) mimic estrogen in your body.

Whey protein is getting cheaper by the day in the US, though. It's usually made out of the waste products from cheese production, but you can't argue with the quality of it.

Limit your soy intake. If you can get a whey protein supplement, the better off you will be.. You'll get enough soy content in your foods on a daily basis as well. A suggestion for you if you are working out is looking into foods that will boost your testosterone, serotonin and dopamine levels as well.
