I was given statins for high cholesterol when I self diagnosed with hypo and the gp disagreed because my tsh then was too low for their guidelines... the statins just gave me such deep depression that at one point, driving, I found myself with an overwhelming impulse to accelerate into the truck in front.

you are right to avoid them, and when you are optimally treated I hope your cholesterol will drop. It should.
