if you have problems with depression/brainfog/can't focus/etc your solution may be as easy as a simple lifestyle change and exercising and eating better. the absolute bare minimum would be to do at least 30 mins of exercise a day and don't ever drink soda ever (ideally you should never get any calories from liquids ever). worth a try. better than taking fucking meth pills. pills wont give you sixpack abs and a booster shot to your selfesteem.

That 'no calories from liquids' sounds like bullshit, what about milk/soymilk and stuff like fruit juice? Those are pretty important things to have in your diet and generally have a good amount of calories in them.

IDK I eat really well, generally have my shit together and hit the gym several times a week but there's really nothin' like an occasional 5mg of that sweet methylphenidate

Yeah I'm actually really healthy, at one of my last physicals my heart rate was slower than average and the doc told me thats a sign of a heart pumping blood more efficiently (which is a sign of really good health). I work 12 hrs a day physical labor and then I liftweights and box for cardio (its way better than running imo) but with all the walking around the deck and up/down stairs I prolly get in atleast a couple miles every day before I even get off work. I can't hit a bag right now so I go to the helo-deck and shadow box. I don't know anything about fish oil but I take multivitamins and started drinking weigh protein everyday to help me gain muscles because I got to a point where I couldn't put much more on, on my own.

The only real depression I get is from outside influences and my brain overworking on them really. But the main problem I'm having is with chilling the fuck out and mediating myself because I think if I don't do that I'm gonna pull or break something else.

i used to take vitamins and B12 pills, but i've been told mulivitamins are bullshit so idk.

did this person tell you that multivitamins were bullshit, or just vitamins all together? multivitamins are ultimately kinda crappy when it comes right down to it, but that's really only in comparison to specific nutritional supplements, which seem to have a more observable physical effect when taken. vitamins and supplements are extraordinarily useful if you just aren't able to get everything you need from your diet. from the way you characterize your current lifestyle, it doesn't sound like you probably have a particular need for any of that, i'm just saying.

actually i mention this because it may have been me that told you that multivitamins are bullshit, and they aren't if you don't have the means/interest/time/whatever to thoroughly research nutrition and go out and buy 25 bottles of vitamins and shit.

the no calories from liquids is really more if you're trying to get into really good shape. its not necessarily something that you need to stick with permanently.

when i first started working out I drank a weight gainer shake that had about a thousand calories in a single serving

Reminds me of these sort of infographic. Not sure how accurate it is:

i need to change my diet, my skin is really bad at the moment and i feel lousy a lot. smoking too much and just eating junk!! haven't been looking after myself at all

espernet is down or at least it is for me!

yeah looks like it's having some problems

big netsplit, should be working okay now

My internet's real patchy lately - I will probably be back on IRC in 3-6 months!

i need to change my diet, my skin is really bad at the moment and i feel lousy a lot. smoking too much and just eating junk!! haven't been looking after myself at all

The problem is right in front of you!

yeah it's p. clear. not enough irc

As somebody who took a multi-vitamin his whole life to attempt make up for numerous deficiencies, I can say the only difference I've ever noticed when taking them is that my chest hurts on the left side. That's it.

Not one other single notable difference. Took 'em for years, don't anymore and I feel the same as I ever have - still eat relatively the same. I'm sure there's a placebo effect of sorts, and probably a bunch of small benefits that I was unaware of, but besides that I certainly never felt healthier on them.

that's your heart exploding. sorry to break this to you pal. coronary explosion is a known side effect.

is that why i was declared legally dead 4 years ago.....

that finally makes sense

i just didn't have the heart to tell you !! ho ho ho !!

well i guess you don't need a heart to enjoy whip-like wit because that joke got a hearty laugh out of this guy

i'm glad i gave a gloomy djinni one last laugh

yeah that sounds pretty rude man!

I can say the only difference I've ever noticed when taking them is that my chest hurts on the left side.

heartburn? I'm a heartburn professional by this point. it can feel like it's coming from different parts of your chest, each having a different sensation of pain depending upon which peptic ulcer it's aggravating
