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.

And you must make peace with it. Become friends and try to understand it, rather than hide or shun that aspect of yourself.

Yeah, maybe. That's part of it. Learning that you're an asshole, if that's true, is the first necessary step towards changing that. That's part of what psychedelics do, they confront you with truths that you wouldn't otherwise recognize.

But they also confront you with lies. Just cause the mushroom tells you you're an asshole doesn't mean it's right. That's for you to think on afterward.

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

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

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

In that order.

Boiled apple seeds might be a better solution.

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.
