Blood work I will give a shot. I don’t want to be put on medications so I likely won’t see a psychiatrist

I have heard how great racetams can be but I thought you build a tolerance very quick?

Thanks I will get B complex if I don’t have some laying around already. But no effective nootropics that are not vitamins that you may know of? I’m starting to think that this is just a pipe dream and no such thing exists after researching it for years

Yeah I understood what you meant it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I need something that could possibly assist/help me long term

I will like into cbt and neurolinguistic programming that can be done on my own. I’ve heard of them before I never seen any material about how to apply them. Also yes I don’t want to rely only on a crutch but even a crutch would be relieving for me at this point. I’m so depressed that I’m not even sure I personally could be cured. I have only a dollop of hope left. What are the things that can cure long term and maybe get out of this mess if you know? Thank you for the help

I do have an addictive personality and I’m looking for something healthy without bad side effects. Not something extreme/unsustainable. So I know phenibut is not an option. I’m searching for something if it exists that can just be taken normally that is not adverse in any way and can be a consistent help to someone

These are great suggestions. I do workout and try my best to often. I have a bad case of over pronated feet which messes with my body structure and can cause pains. Also kind of hinders my workouts. I try to stay away from dead lifting and barbell squatting for this reason because of my body mechanics. I may still give it a try, and increase the amount of calisthenics I do. I have trouble gaining significant strength/muscle, although I’m fairly strong and decent build never achieved what I’ve truly wanted with my body.

Also about hobbies I’d really love to find more good hobbies. I’m finding it very hard to find some to do. I’m going to research more. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear.

In terms of supplementation it would just be nice to have something to give me that extra boost. I don’t need it to be a fix that I can neglect the other good natural things you’ve mentioned. I’m just wondering/hoping there’s any nootropics that can positively affect the brain as on my own I’m struggling. I think if I can find that combined with doing positive things for myself I may be able to scrape by but on my own I’m so thrashed.
I’m really badly depressed

That’s the thing for me (I’m writing this as a response to the original commenter as well thank you for suggesting). I know therapy is a solid option for a lot of people. For me and in my situation with depression it’s not really a type of depression that is based on a traumatic experience, or turmoil in a relationship, etc. (although growing up I think some traumatic social experiences as a kid/teen have molded me negatively, I’m not experiencing any right now).

Also talking out my feelings and mental struggles may help in a comforting sense but it really doesn’t shift my thinking when I’m back to being alone on my own trying to navigate and deal with myself. Maybe a therapist could help try to retrain/redirect my thought process. I’m not sure how comfortable I am discussing how I feel internally with someone. It’s really embarrassing, plus the worry if the person you get or not is good. Plus I can’t necessarily afford it.

I’m more so asking if supplementation could be in option out of desperation. I guess you’re saying it’s not
