FWIW I already take these vitamins daily, along with magnesium, zinc, copper, folate, manganese, boron, St. John's Wort, Ashwagandha, Tumeric, SAM-e, Saffron, Kratom, Ginko Baloba, L-theanine, along with a nightly dose of Valerian Root, L-Tryptophan, lemon balm extract, 5-HTP, and 500+ mg of a high THC extract, and I'm still tired and miserable all the time.

Even walking 20k+ steps a day at my job isn't enough. I've never been healthier and more depressed. Tried therapy for a decade but gave up when I couldn't find a single therapist I can relate with. Not even pharmaceuticals helped me. I've accepted the fact that I am just going to be perpetually tired and miserable for the rest of my life and there's nothing anyone can do to help.

(FWIW I don't take kratom daily. Only at work. And the dosage of THC can range from as low as 100mg all the way up to a full gram of pure THC distillate. Yes these are accurate numbers. I live in a legal state and can get distillate for $5/g. I have a high tolerance and don't get high anymore; just sleepy. If I don't have any THC in my system, I can't sleep at all no matter how tired I am. The insomnia was hell until I discovered weed in my 20s).

Maybe cut out the THC? It's a depressant.

I think this person is on the opposite end and is overwhelming him/herself with too much supplements...

It’s a very common sign of addiction to try every supplement under the sun instead of just addressing the cessation of substance abuse because that’s a much more challenging hill to climb.

You don't think they started out tired all the time with no supplements and then slowly added them to try it out?

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is correct. I only got this far into the drugs and suppliments because existence was nothing but pain before I discovered everything I currently take over the course of several decades. At least now I'm at a level where I can hold down a job. Before I started taking all this shit, I was a NEET well into my 30s. But now I have a wife and a mortgage and a job. Still miserable but it's progress.
