As I possibly, potentially, definitely alluded to in the posts in the past, I've ordered from a bulk supply company a hundo and twenty bucks worth of supplements, that would have cost me around five hundo in retail. And ye gods I hope they work because I do need a fix for my anxiety and sleeplessness and the general laziness too, but with the new regimen I'm starting from tomorrow, I think that won't be needed. Hopefully. But still a good idea to have as a backup.
Here's the deal. I know, for sure, that just like junk weight loss or control medication that's all junk or lies or fraud, most of 'mental wellbeing' supplements are unproven science, snake oil, trying to take advantage of the most desperate ones. The sort of people who need to be the most questioning of such substances and instead work towards bettering themselves. Bettering how? By getting good sleep at regular hours, regular workouts and exercise, good food, some supplements, good therapist and some nice mindful meditation. But the thing is humans being want to cheat, and swallowing something after spending money on it is way, wayyy easier than working hard to improve yourself.
On the other hand, such medication can provide the 'push' to one's "ED" (executive function, not erectile dysfunction) so that one's in a good place. Plus, even if they are mostly flour and sugar, the fact that one is 'taking' something can help one with the motivation to improve and get better, start working out. Like my friend NG who started working out and biking hardcore after he got his super duper expensive apple watch. The apple watch by itself didn't change his physiology but it changed enough of the psychology to motivate him to become a sportier person.
I already got my sports watch and it's not an apple one, rather it cost less than a third of a real iwatch. And it's helped me keep track of my shit. And it's told me I need to improve my sleep, get more workout, get better at meditation. I'm hoping this is the final push until I can become a fully formed and cooked human being.
