      Kind of you to ask! I am okay thanks, I just thought I’d share a moody comic (it’s a moody day, I guess) but it’s not a big deal or anything lol

      Appreciate the sentiment ^^

        I feel this comic. I think it’s a mood a great many people are having these days. Our society is sick, and the ones on the bottom are being disproportionately exposed to the worst of it.

        It’s a very good idea to ask folks the question above (are you okay?), but I also can understand and really appreciate that someone drew this for the sake of dark humor, and/or societal commentary.

        In short, I really appreciate it.

        Type a “!” then start typing the community you want to link to, at least the beginning part of it to and you’ll get:

        Link worked for me but that’s my home instance so that might have something to do with it. I’m also using Sync for Lemmy so the dev might have accounted for community links in the code.

    could be depressed. Personally working out helped me sleep. good sleep instead of exhaustion sleep helps the other stuff. make sure you are taking a multivitamin too just in case you are deficient in something (iron or vitamin c are possibilities if you aren’t eating vegetables.)

    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 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.

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

    This was my life when I experienced addiction.
