Self Medicating Through Amazon

I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for most of my life. Recently, I added ADHD to the list of things that are likely different about my brain but without an official diagnosis or the means/desire to get one, I'm not entirely sure what to do about it.

I have spent a little time stealing ADHD lifehacks from the internet and then started to look at the problem as a dopamine deficiency, which some say it is. So then came an urge to change my dopamine intake, which is hard when relief from no longer stressing about something and genuinely enjoying something feel similar.

Another thing I decided to check out was dopamine supplements on Amazon. For less than 2000 yen, I'm grabbing a month's worth of supplements that should help offset some of the weird in my head at least sometimes.

After a couple of months of taking these pretty regularly, I've noticed less suicidal ideation and a better kind of middle ground in my head. I don't wake up overjoyed, but it's easier to get things done from where I start and it's not shutting off my ability to hyperfocus when I have time to indulge.

If you can, see a doctor for problems like these. If you can't, playing with safe, regulated supplements within reason can sometimes be beneficial.
