Incidentally if your life is actually like this it’s a result of nihilism.

If you’re addicted to a substance seek help for it.

This was my life when I experienced addiction.

It's not going to be a fix for everyone, but if you feel like this guy, you should check to see if you've got the rare form of the MTHFR Gene, which means you'll be up to 80% deficient of methylfolate.

Methylfolate is what our body turns folic acid into. It's a base element that our bodies use to function properly. If you've got an extreme deficiency, well, things just aren't functioning properly. People affected with this will have lived with these issues their whole lives.

Now, up to 60% of the population has a mild form of MTHFR, so the gene itself isn't uncommon, it's the rare form you'll be looking for.

Anyway, getting on a high dose of methylfolate changed my life, life from night to day, I'm not kidding. I still take medication for anxiety and depression, but the methylfolate helps them to function like they're supposed to.

Again, it's not a fix for everyone, but on the off chance you have it, I'd check it out.

Ah, you mean one of the many genetic/biochemical abnormalities which are heavily associated with ADHD/MDD/Schizophrenia/Bipolar/Parkinson's/Alzheimer's/etc., sweet... it can join TAAR1, SORCS3, ST3GAL3, DRD4, DRD5, rs4680, rs6265, FXS... I think that's enough "let's see what kind of fucked up genetics can cause your mental disorders" lol

MTHFR Gene

For some strange reason when I read that I was imagining Samuel L Jackson reprising his role from Snakes on a Plane.

I hate this feeling. I wish I wasn't so lazym I need to shower more but it's so much work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I kinda struggled with this. I wasn't able to get up and shower unless I had to be somewhere. The shame overrode my broken brain and that's basically how I survived university.

Life is what you make of it.

Why wake up if at the end of the day you are just going to end up going to sleep again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I feel panel one the most, I hate waking up since my sleep quality is so poor that I'm tired all day, every day

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

You are burned out?

This reminds me of Sloth from Fullmetal Alchemist.
