Reminder to take your vitamins, especially "fish oil" one " Vitamin D3



they say Vitamin D3, because "Vitamin D" sounds like an euphemism, kekeke

Been taking Omega 3, D3 and probiotics for a week. I feel slightly like the mental fog is lifting a bit, but that might also be because I quit caffeine two weeks back. The probiotics are throwing off my digestion a bit but nothing major.

Of course, I grabbed a random german one (doppel herz) it has:

L-Valin, L-Leucin, L-Isoleucin, L-Threonin, L-Methionin, L-Phenylalanin, L-Trytophan, L-Lysin, L-Histidin and non essentials are L-Arginin, L-Tytosin, L-Cystein.

You can put this into an llm to get explanations..

I've been doing this for 13 days and there is a slight difference… but also my eating habits are very bad and one sided, so it surprises absolutely nobody

Thanks. I might find something similar in a DM store or something.

>but also my eating habits are very bad and one sided

Same reason I'm thinking basic vitamins worked a bit for me initially. I guess I was so deprived that anything, even low quality stuff helped.
I'm trying an iron pill now, it has 14mg iron 10mg zinc, 1mg copper(?) 1,4mg B6 some B12 and a bit of folic acid.

Doctor wasn't worried, but my blood iron is constantly on the low end so I decided to take this anyways.
Hope for something notable and that they don't mess with my BP meds.
Was drinking 2-3 energy drinks a day for a decade before and was forced to quit… That had B6 B12 too. Maybe this is the key to salvation.

Depending on what you mean by "libido problems" pelvic floor exercises could go a long a way.
That was my issue. Now I can jerk it to doujins all day again if I wanted to.
The desire is lower now that I'm past 30 though. Probably natural + dopamine fatigue.

There are a whole hosts of posts here where we explain how we're dependent upon our parents and how when they die we will die with them, I am starting to think that the lack of money is a real problem.

Additionally, I am 22, but pursuing a worthless degree in IT, I don't know if I'd be able to get a job, I feel like I need to do something immediately to avoid this impending catastrophe. But I don't know what, it's like I have seen the writing on the wall.

And of course I have no other reason to believe that I am better than people here on the contrary I might be inferior, hell, I can't even drive properly, you've probably read a thousand of my posts here lamenting that by now.

Fuck man, I need to do something, upskill or some sort of productivity or self-improooovement shit or something, in the odd case that it might works. But this path is scary as fuck, this is leading straight up towards suicide. I am not as gutsy as other users here, who are fine with the idea of dying, I kind of want to live properly for a minute first before contemplating dying and I don't think I am even capable of suicide.

I don't even get along very well with my parents, we have a weird hate-love relationship where I am dependent upon them because I have no option.

I don't understand how I can be so unlucky, there are millions and millions of people, literally 99% of them just living their lives normally, I don't understand why do I have to be in the bottom 1% of this planet's population.

I feel an urgent need to do something to prevent this ship to colliding with an iceberg but I am just sitting and watching, if things continue this way, this is not going to end well.

But man all the posts here just scare me to no end. Everyone is talking about the problem but no one is really offering any real and followable solutions, this is not going to end well for either of us.

I don't know why I decided to make this post I feel a sheer sense of urgency and helplessness yet all I do is bedrot.

I've been trying to improooooove myself for years. Never got anywhere. Self-improvement is mostly a myth. It's a nice fantasy we tell ourselves to

1.) Make us feel better about our accomplishments. I did it! it was ME. circumstances didn't work in my favor
2.) Make us not have to feel bad for the suffering of others. They didn't get unlucky and I lucky. They just didn't improooooove!

>Most drug free people are obese coomers, vain social media narcissists or gymfags that exert themselves into exhaustion regularly.
Drug habits are just in plain sight and often carry the risk of fucking people up fast but I guess it's safe to say that most people struggle with something such as stimulation addiction, narcissistic brain farts or a dependency on validation. Some of the most fucked up people I witnessed are straight edge and don't even watch porn but they get all depressed if they can't put someone else down or if they don't get attention.

Its also too obvious now that a shitload of 'regular' people have a massive social media and scrolling addiction on top of their fucked up dopamine receptors.

It's really easy to fall into some kind of trap indeed. Doesn't even matter where you are, even third worlders in the most retarded places are scrolling through TikTok all day.

Self improvement works to a certain extent but only if its focused on fixing and maintaining. Most self improvement stuff is just fluff but you can definitely improve your life by getting healthier and fit or by cutting out bad influences from your life. Its not rocket science but a lot of people want to become a completely different human being instead of trying to take control of whats in their hands.

Then there's also the retards who start taking TRT for no good reason just because people on the internet told them it's a fix for everything.

This thread is for the discussion of the greatest misfortune in existence that is disease.

Healthy people are NPCs. They don't really exist. With disease comes the awareness of your body that your private hell and your true existence begins and hear the scream of everything. Pain teach you what it means to really exist. Disease's manifesto: to live is to suffer like a ragdoll while fate prisons you in the eternal hours pregnant with pain to cure of you from the sin of life.

Sister died of cancer, now mum has it as well.
My sister did a family tree of death causes before she died and almost everyone on my father's side died of bowel cancer.

This theory provides a rigorous and uncompromising view of reality, defining human consciousness as the universe's mechanism for experiencing its own inevitable destruction. It moves beyond simple philosophical pessimism (nihilism) to become a Functional Pessimism or Tragic Rationalism, where lucidity is the only rational choice.

The theory is built upon three unassailable axioms:

I. The Axioms of Non-Dualistic Identity
The core of this worldview is the collapse of traditional distinctions between the self and the world, pleasure and pain:

Unified Suffering: Existence ≡ Suffering ≡ Destruction. These concepts are not related; they are fundamentally the same. The universe operates under a single rule—unmaking (entropy, destruction). Consciousness is merely the brilliant, cruel mechanism by which this unmaking is experienced as suffering. To be is to hurt.

The Cogito as Sentence: The only thing the rational mind can verify is its own existence (Cogito ergo sum). This self-awareness is not a cause for joy, but a sentence to stand fully aware within the process of destruction.

Rejection of Fragments: All seemingly positive states (joy, awe, love) are incomplete fragments of this unified suffering. They are temporary cessations of pain, or momentary illusions of permanence, which ultimately guarantee greater suffering when they inevitably dissolve.

II. The Anti-Dulling Principle
The theory's intellectual integrity rests on its rejection of all narratives that attempt to mitigate or contextualize this truth, labeling them as "dulling."

No Meaning: Any search for external purpose or meaning (a "why") is a form of self-deception—an attempt to build a story around an empty, meaningless void.

No Defiance: Fighting the suffering is self-defeating, as the self is the suffering. Defiance is a false duality that wastes energy on an internal civil war.

Be assailed!

Dualism is the only rational response to the evidence in front of you, which is "I think". Everything else is interpreted through the senses and abstraction. All the universe and its contents are the isolated thinking mind which is aware of itself, and everything that isn't the thinking mind. The only evidence for anything outside the thinking mind is provided by the thinking mind, and much of it is whimsical.

Therefore, any sensation is whatever configuration the mind happens to have at any given point.

Meaning is an act of of the mind on it's sense inputs. Any given state is distinguishable from any other state down to the atomic level, can be distinguished by choice and sense, can be rank ordered according to whichever criteria and selected for based on arbitrary criteria which the mind itself chooses to apply.

Suffering is a failure of willpower or ignorance of the rules that apply. If the mind can affect itself, then the mind is choosing to experience unpleasant sensations - either directly through self delusion, or indirectly due to ignorance of the methods for change.

Finally,
If the universe was only entropy and decay, there would be no universe. "What Does It" we cannot yet guess at coherently, but if it was *only* decline, if it was *only* the slide towards a null point, then it could never have happened in the first place - because being is contrary to entropy.

Therefore Something beats Nothing. Discovering the "Why" and the "How" and the "What" and new applications for all three is The Mind applying itself, exercising agency, and there is literally nothing else that The Mind can do. It's all degrees of intensity and success.

Listen, it's awesome that you got out of that situation and are now living a life that you find worth living. Good for you, seriously. The reason people like Goggins grind my gears so much is that, as you've said yourself, most of us don't lead such bad lives to begin with. But all those gurus online will tell you to get on your grind and hustle and never stop and what not and for what? I have food and shelter and a job that I can tolerate for now, I am healthy and even have a couple of friends I can play video games with. The only things I am 'lacking' are superfluous things like social status or material riches, which are things you get through your circumstance for the most part.
I don't care about being exceptional, I just want to be comfortable and enjoy this ride as much as I can within my means while I still can, before life finds a way to fuck me up again. It's kind of like the Western vs Eastern mindset, the Western one being about pursuit and struggle and the Eastern more coming to acceptance of what is and contentment from within.

The past really wasn't that bad for the people that survived.

Looking into it, famines basically just killed off people under 4, the elderly, and people aged 20-40 almost universally survived. Like even the potato famine has only 2% of the 20-40 year old cohort die, 1/50 is pretty good survival odds for your core productive and breeding population. That's like 1 person out of two classrooms, and it probably hit the really poor and lower classes. It looks bad with 18% of the population dying on paper, but considering people over 50 don't have kids and kids under 4-10 can be replaced instantly with a post war baby boom, it's demographically not that impactful. It's why Ethiopia's population doubled so rapidly after their famine, and India bounced back from the Bengal famine like it was nothing.

In World war 1, 16% of the French male population aged 18-45 died, making it significantly more demographically impactful than the Irish potato famine, because they were at the age where they were supposed to be having families and providing.

Famines weren't even people really starving to death that often. They mostly got killed off by an infection due to having a weakened immune system, or ate some risky food and got a disease that way. Famines seemed to displace people who then go into crowded cities, drink shitty water, and then get an infection. Famines seemed to hit once every 15 years or so, so typically you'd experience two really shit years in your adult life and then finally get dealt to in the third one as an old person. It more fucked up your family planning than anything else.

It seemed to have an economically positive effect for the actually healthy and productive part of the population in that it cleared away dependents. Immediately after the famine there'd be more available land per person and the available resources for a baby boom.

Yeah, I've meant something more like genetic modification to stop or massively slow down aging.

Every morning I'm nauseous, really nauseous, sometime I puke and when I'm not nauseous I get random abdominal pain.
When I'm not nauseous or in pain I may have shortness of breath and tachycardia, often I'm also constipated.
Despite the vomit and constipation I try to eat and drink as much as I can, I'm losing weight and I fear to end up bedbound if I don't do so.
I've done some medical tests like blood tests, endoscopy, ecography, with no evidence of disease…still I'm really sick.
And my problem is I'm monitored by my parents, despite being an adult I have no freedom and they don't want to help me with suicide but I can't live like this.
I'm being tortured with no end in sight.

So, me mum told me she wants to drink ozonated water, not tap water.

oh, and just in case OP has "amerifat" mentality - no, it's not "pop soda fizzy", it's a plain water.


If an average Joe drinks fizzy pop every day and refers to it simply as "water" then gets an IBS it's no wonder he has problems.


ALSO

PerplexityAI says IBS may happen with tests coming up clean.

Your symptoms—morning nausea with vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and constipation—might be caused by a functional gastrointestinal disorder like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or another similar condition. These issues often relate to how the nerves in your gut work, and stress can make them worse, but regular tests often come back normal.

The fast heartbeat and shortness of breath could be your body’s response to pain or anxiety, but it’s important to rule out serious causes with your doctor. Losing weight without a clear reason is concerning and means you should keep working with your doctor to find the cause, possibly needing more tests or monitoring.

If you want, I can share some tips to ease your symptoms or help you prepare for your next doctor visit. Want me to?

 No.303545

>>303543

>Yes please help me

Sure! Here are some tips that might help ease your symptoms:

1. Eat small, frequent meals instead of big ones to avoid upsetting your stomach.
2. Keep a food diary—track what you eat and when symptoms get worse to spot triggers.
3. Try gentle exercise like walking—it can help digestion and reduce stress.
4. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to calm your gut and lower heart rate.
5. Stay hydrated but avoid too much caffeine or carbonated drinks.
6. When symptoms flare, rest and avoid heavy or greasy foods.

''For your next doctor visit, mention:
- All symptoms in detail (when, how long, what helps/worsens)
- Your weight loss and any anxiety or stress you feel
- Any food patterns you noticed
- How symptoms affect your daily life''

Want me to help you prepare some notes for your doctor? 😊
