I am going to throw my 2 cents in just because it will give you another outside perspective. I think that you need to move on to something that is not as intense and demanding as bodybuilding. But that is easier said than done.
I dont know what I would do if someone told me that I had to quit. We bodybuilders (pro and amature) tell ourselves every day, every workout, every meal, every rep that rips through our bodies, to not give up. Never give up. Just one more rep, one more bite, one more lap, one more inch. So I think you need a little more than a few people telling you to quit. You need to be somewhere that is quiet and that you can truely reflect on what is going on. Find out from your doctor if bodybuilding has been causing undue strain on your body. Mention that a few years back you were on HRT, or be honest and tell him that you cycled. Find out if any of these things could be hurting you. Then go reflect on the information. Get involved with coaching, maybe you could become a trainer or something else that will allow you to use your motivation to see results.
