I’m posting this to help anyone here that reads it. I’ve been taking a folic acid supplement along with a zinc supplement and it’s really helped. Folic acid helps in the production of neurotransmitters which I’m sure anyone who’s on here knows that these are the chemicals in your brain that regulate mood. I hope that I have helped at least 1 person on this board.
Now, all that being said, I still believe that the feeling of mental stability that most “normal” people feel is merely meant to placate them and further the idea that this world is real. As I get older I suspect more and more that this world is not real. I’m not sure what it is or what lies before or after our time here, but something just doesnt seem right. I feel trapped in this body, like a camera man permanently looking through a camera. Gravity, dogs, light, insects…it all just seems made up. I have held the Sig Sauer up underneath my chin many times with the idea that I will exit this world and be able to leave behind all of the pain, frustration, obligations and experiences that it thrusts upon me but I havent had the nerve to pull the trigger. It’s very very difficult to overcome the body’s will to survive isn’t it?? It seems so for me anyway.
It seems as though I am trapped here until I get killed in a car accident or die of old age or some other means. I know that many of you would like to be released from the pain of living just as much, if not more than I would. If you do not have the courage to take your own life try the folic acid and zinc, you might find that it helps make your time on this planet a little more bearable. Sorry for the wordy post.

Thanks for the advice, didn’t new that about folic acid. I remember taking zinc some years ago (due to an injury) but i wasn’t depressed back then so i might give both a try.
The world being fake thing is something i’ve experienced for a long time too. As in looking it from a camera or it not being “right” for some reason. I remember other member mentioned something similar some days ago. Maybe it’s some sort of dissociative disorder? in my case i’ve noticed that i seem to “wake up” at certain events, and then go back to “camera mode” when everything becomes normal again. Take care and again, thanks for the tips 🙂
As soon as i read the title I was like “oh boy, someone came up with some crazy method of drugging themselves to death”…
Would be pretty silly to kill yourself with a couple of vitamins xDD but now I see it’s the opposite =o
I mark off supplements the same way I do antidepressants: if i need a pill to keep me alive, I should be dead. I don’t care whether im happy or not 90% of the time :p
Oh…I’ve been there, gun to the head, finger on trigger…yeah, I do hate my body’s natural instinct to not kill itself -.- makes me wonder about all the people who have actually managed to before…maybe doing it slowly is easier even, who knows!…we’re all slowly dying of aging, thats easy enough right? sit around and do nothing…you’re killing yourself, congratulations!…
Do me a favor though and research where to hold a gun when you pull the trigger -3- if you hold it against your chin, you’re just as likely to blow off half your face, rather than your brain, and end up living like frankenstein the rest of your existance ><''
Maybe your poor choice of suicide execution means that you really have been avoiding it, and would rather stay alive…who knows =P
In theory you could die from vitamins tho. I’m guessing you’d need an insane amount tho, but you can reach toxicity levels from almost everything (even water). Not that it’d be nice or cost effective but hey, it’s something.
For some bizarre reason i don’t think of supplements as pills (even if they come in a form of a pill). I see them more as a way of compensating the lack of nutrients that even healthy foods have nowadays (food is so altered that even fruits and vegetables have less nutrients than they used to). Even if you have a pretty healthy diet it’s likely you are still lacking needed stuff.
Natural survival instinct = sucks. Should have an on/off button.
Tell that to crazy fucks in the military =P or terrorists in the middle east…
I’m sure they’d both agree with you ><''
Lol xDD
personally, it’s hard for me to trust anypill i dont automatically start feeling the effects of….i.e. asprin vs. prozac 🙂
True…ive only taken asprin a couple times, while in great pain, but even then, did the asprin make me better? or did my body just make me better? it certainly wasnt instantaneous…but i think it helped a little bit at least x-x
It can be both actually. Not everyone is affected by medications the same way or to the same extent. And even just believing one way or another can influence you greatly. Meaning if you THINK the medicine won’t work, it might not work much or at all.
That’s also why placebo’s work. You think it’s something that will work, and therefore it will help.
You can do the same in the opposite way too. If you tell someone something will make them sick, there is a good chance it will make them sick, even if there is nothing in it to actually make them sick.
The power your brain and state of mind have over your body is barely understood as of yet.
