There's probably no non-spooky chemical that will make a significant dent. People are recommending, like, chocolate, but I'm certain the main effect is eating your feelings, with substances causing a rounding error.

However, I can predict pretty well what therapist homework would be, or at least what it always was for me. Basically just clean living stuff, and not giving in to the urge to avoid doing things. There's CBT too, and resources to do it on your own, although it can get confusing without a helping hand. So, yeah, I suggest self-administering therapy. IANAT.

I have constant anxiety and low dopamine. I take Ephedrine, and it's worked miracles for me. It even helps me concentrate throughout the day.

I prefer Primatine, but Bronkaid also works. Both can be bought over the counter with an ID

D3 with K2 supplement can help.

If you want something that's legal (but probably shouldn't be) I recommend kratom. Look for something that says Super Green. The less you take the more energy and vitality it gives you, the more you take the more it feels like an opiate.

You could try sam-e if you are in a country that isn’t prescription only (many don’t require one).

Imo meds alone won’t do a ton of good, if you’re battling depression or constant blahness you should also be trying to steadily make improvements in your habits and life situation. When you are not feeling too down try to make a list of things that might make daily life more pleasant and try to work some of that stuff into life. Things like sitting in the sun or watching the sky aren’t too trivial. If nothing sounds pleasant (because depression) imo you have to go the regimented route where you add things to your life that you think would improve anyone’s situation like eating healthy, exercising regularly, and picking up a new hobby.

I don't know about that kind of medicine, but resolve your repressed anger and depression will disappear.

Someone I think on mander.xyz was saying that regular 90-second cold showers seemed anecdotally to be maybe competitive with medication in terms of how well it combatted depression

A certain fun guy is really nice for this, but start small

Depends on whether you live somewhere with legal weed
