Advice to Rebuild

Hi I’m looking for some suggestions and advice from some experienced lifters, after recently losing a lot of strength,over 10kg in weight and found out today that my testosterone is completely shut down due to illness.

Test: 3.9 (6.0- 28.0)
SHBG: 55 (15-50)
Free Test: 50 (200-600)

The goal now is to regain some strength, size and basically start from scratch
I have ran with wendler 5/3/1 templates in the past and for a change have been looking at 4 - 5 day split based around the westside barbell method

I Know that taking a break would be the best option, stepping away from training right now is not on the cards for me as I suffer from PTSD so focusing on training Is a form of therapy for me
