Even then, most people don't need it. The human body has NO mechanism to get rid of excess iron. It will poison you
Unless they are vegetarian/vegan or don't eat much iron foods.
Probably because of my diet. (I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I don't eat much meat).
I don't take a supplement every day but I do take it a few times a month.
That's probably sufficient for me.
except donating blood.
Donating blood is linked to overall health and longevity. One leading theory is the removal of heavy metals and plastics from the bloodstream.
Bloodletting :p
Well I am exactly that!
Antipsychotics can really help if you need them, but Jesus Christ no they do not make you feel good. Most of them make you feel dead inside, just completely fucking numb to life. That can be better than without, but they are not a cure. They're a treatment for a symptom, with serious side effects.
Sometimes those side effects can be permanent too, like eyes and tongue moving around without you wanting them to.
I feel like a joke was intended here...;
I'm on a mood stabilizer and it makes me feel like a fucking zombie. Better than constant depression cycling, I guess
antipsychotics
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure this has the wholesome meaning originally perceived by OP.
Weed does improve life quality when everything else is in a good condition
Life flexing is for Facebook. We're all depressed here.
Nuh uh! I’m anxious too.
Anxious but not depressed gang here. Everything is awesome and I love where I am in life and everything around me… but also something is constantly wrong and makes me uncomfortable but it’s never evident what it actually is WOOOO!
Oh hi Generalized Anxiety! 🍻
Ah, fantasy.
Can't relate
Damn had me until anti psychotic medicine...I too need the rest.
Mirtazapine instead of the antipsychotic, it’s an anti depressant that’s helped my sex drive mentally and physically. So happy I have it a try.
How did it help your sex drive?
heck im good with stable necessary income. discretionary is gravy although nice. next walkable city and then sleep. maybe switch tose in importance. friends sure and exersise should happen practically naturally if I can walk everywhere including the library. no need for the drugs or supplements as eating right will cover it for me.
What... is that thing, mixed in with the no alcohol and no cigarettes?
Well, I suppose if I am asking that, then I am unlikely to be doing it, so I have that going for me I guess 😜
Well low-dose antipsychotics are a thing, too. I'm on them and I don't feel "bad" or anything. I can never tell if they are helping me or not tho, same as any other psych med I've tried. Only difference is that I have not had any behavioral dyscontrol at work since taking them. May or may not be related. I never know. At least I'm no longer being threatened to be terminated.
