Anecdotally I've heard extremely positive things about assisted ketamine therapy/solo trips and severe depression. And in terms of risks it's similar to psilocybin, generally safe and not addictive (test your powders for fentanyl). But I kinda get your sentiment and ultimately agree. Mushrooms are better and more accessible as a foray into using drugs to treat stuck brains. Especially if you're doing it on your own. If anything you just get to spend much longer with your unfiltered thoughts.

There is finally a lot of successful research being done into treating mental disorders using psychedelics and drugs in general. Ketamine, psilocybin, LSD, MDMA - they all can be very effective therapeutic tools. But like all tools, they need to be used appropriately and handled properly. Don't go full psychonaut, read up on your issues and see if there's an approach that suits your personal needs.

And get fentanyl strips if you ever buy anything powder. They're cheap, easy to use, normally legal, and can save lives.

Crazy business idea mr. bank boss, listen up. Every person becomes a landlord of the property they live in! And if there's one that nobody lives in, then we ask someone who needs a place to move in and become a landlord. Problem solved!

This is extremely reductive, but the gist is - creatine is good for brains. In part because it regulates glutamate. People with ADHD have significantly higher glutamate levels, which cause synaptic spillover - synapses triggering neighboring ones and essentially spamming the brain. Stimulants help with that by improving the metabolism of glutamate. And oral creatine supplementation just increases creatine levels to fight the high glutamate levels. Both result in ADHD brains being quieter.

This is a pretty deep rabbit hole and a heavy read. But here are some interesting papers if you wanna dive in. I'm by no means an expert in any of this. I'm just interested in understanding my own ADHD, and at one point was curious how does creatine actually help, since I feel better taking it c:

That's funny, I could write pretty much this exact post myself. And since getting out of my head and following my own advice feels impossible, here it is for you. Look up the address of the employment services office that's closest to you, don't bother researching beyond this point. Wake up tomorrow, do some pushups until you're bored, take a shower, eat a snack and go to that office. Either get a meeting then and there, or get one scheduled and repeat the steps on the day of. Tell them what you hate about working, and that you struggle getting your foot in the door, so you'll need some help with finding openings. You got it from there c:

Also buy a jar of creatine, it's great for brains and ADHD brains especially (I can find the research I went through if you're curious). 20g a day for a week, then 5g a day. And energy drinks are great if they don't make you feel bad, you can buy powdered ones for cheap. Mix it with the creatine after breakfast, makes for a decent brain day. Good luck!

What a crazy conversation. "Art" and "machine made" is an oxymoron, that's it. Without the human component, the techniques and experiences of an artist (however complex they might be), with no intent or thought behind it there is no reason for it to exist. This idea is one step removed from sitting in a plastic garden with drone birds flying around, reading your AI book and listening to AI music, while an AI robot raises your AI engineered children. This is death of the human condition, not technological progress.
