The downside is that they make you eat less thereby taking away one of the few things that make life worth living.

You should get in touch with a therapist to help you find meaning in life that isn't just eating food. Or get a girlfriend - i heard that helps most people.

Ah yes, a therapist. One of those people who will try to gaslight you into thinking spending 40 hours a week in dayprison is a meaningful life.

So tell me more ;)

What do you do with the other 128 hours?

Sit in front of the TV like a zombie because I’m too tired to do anything else.

So that's the problem. Might you suffer from anhedonia, a common part of depression? It can also be ADHD-related. ADHD is a common co-diagnosis of autism which is a common co-diagnosis of using HN, and ADHD basically means your reward system is messed up on all axes, not just the ones that cause AD and H. I'm not diagnosing you, just throwing out words you might possibly look up.

Don't assume it's only depression, check your testosterone levels etc., probably best to just get an endocrinologist consultation.

If you're tired and don't have energy you'll also feel depressed but that doesn't automatically mean you feel tired solely because of depression.

That is the silliest take ever. I am on GLP-1s, and I still enjoy my food..maybe more than ever before.
