I remember fondly a time I was randomly gifted zinc supplements. Saddened when I ran out.



This stuff will make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus Saturn V rocket, just like me.

Hi, hope everyone here is okay. I understand how hard things can be. I'm going through a tough period right now myself. Take care, folks.

So today I just reached a point where I feel like I can take it anymore, I'd do anything to make this feeling stop, I know nobody's entitled to anything but I used to be a happy person... I am so tired and sad nearly all the time... So much that I feel like that's my only reality.

And I know exactly how cliché this sounds, I have gone through all the various systems, different styles of therapy and nothing works even over the course of several years of committment.

Why post about it here exactly? Because nobody's going to roll their eyes at me here. I just want to be happy enough that life feels worth living. Because I know it can be but I haven't felt that for a very long time.

Your problem could be physiological rather than psychological. Have you had your vitamin D levels tested yet?  Seeing that it's actually a hormone, you'd be surprised at how often vitamin D deficiency is the culprit in depression and physical fatigue cases.

I'll give that a look then.

You seem like a cool person. We are here for you always.

It is becoming more and more difficult for me to be happy these days. Even when I seemingly get on well with somebody, my mind inevitably drifts to how it can all go horribly wrong, and I'll end up alone again.........which is what has happened. It's gotten to the point where I actively prevent people getting close to me out of sheer terror.

I'm certainly familiar with that feeling

Stop thinking that being alone is such a problem, love yourself more.

And dont overthink about things you cannot control, leads nowhere, people suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Lifting can help with depression and anxiety too.
