Try fermenting some barley malt with hops, to taste. A few litres every night does the trick!

Psychedelics. The darkness within is just your inner self that you've neglected to the point you don't recognise it anymore.

I really want to try these as a last-ditch effort to fix my brain. Unfortunately, it's not legal here and I'm only looking for a single trip to face and die-off my ego, or whatever. Conversely, if I were to grow psilocybin for this purpose I would feel bad letting the remaining organism die after I got what I needed.

Living life to the fullest, being surrounded by loving people and having strong motivation, goals, and meaning.

Or if that fails, you can just do drugs. That's what I did

Alcohol, orgasm, nap, water, go for a walk

In that order.

My will to live mostly comes from my fear of non-existance. I've long since given up on happiness.

Saint John's wort tea helps with serotonin and aleviates depression - be careful not to drink it in sunny weather though for it can cause rushes and blisters. Also don't combine with serotonin receptor blockators.

Have you tried caffeine? The description sounds like you're just falling asleep. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Coconut rum and cola seem to work for me.

Tried sleeping around, very mixed results

I've heard suicide works, but only once.

Nothing like the ole permanent solution to temporary problems
