**only 14% of american adults are "very happy"

[jjgold]

every 5 years after 50 your life quality goes down

[mynameismud]

i think going to a psychiatrist and psychoanalyzing stupid shit is a mistake (and costly)

sitting on a beach looking at the water with a nice sandwich and a drink is all anyone needs... rinse and repeat... or play golf every day, or the movies, or the casino, poker room, whatever the happy place is

I agree although way easier said than done. Anxiety is a real thing that you can’t just turn off. Some people just need answers as to why Bad shit happened in their life.

Mike with a good point and makes a lot of sense

Too many people using meds too

and the psychiatrist is god? or somehow has the answer to that?

here's $20,000 of psychiatry in one post

- shit happens
- nobody else cares about your problems, they have their own problems... which might be less, might be more, you'll never know
- happiness is something nobody can give you, you either find it or you don't
- actually, the psychiatrist pretends to care about your problems, so does big pharma, so does the government... and none of those have any ability or intention of fixing your problems because then you would never need them again
- find the cause of the anxiety and get rid of it... if you're worried about losing your money, give it all away... if you're worried about losing your job then quit

[jjgold]

most girls 20-30 all pilled up anxiety and bi polars

Well that is what the idiot dr's tell them

Life is too complicated today.

The man who rode a horse and lived naturally in a 10 mile radius was happier
than those who drive in cars never really seeing or stopping. We have scenery
but how most of it is either privately owned or public where you can't stay long.

Wherefore the natural state of being, the true freedom and willful associations of cooperation?

Modern American works decades to buy a house from the bank. 18th and 19th century
and even early 20th century American worked 1-2 years then built his own house with his friends,
we had communities that shared goods and services, now we have a top-down monstrosity.

“Very happy” is a tough one! Really nothing to do with the things in op original post or anything in general. Maybe just a chemical imbalance, ive always described myself as slightly bipolar, lol.

few times a year I will go into depressed ass funks for no apparent reason, sometimes I can get myself out of it, there have been times where I can’t and ends up being a thing that goes on for a month or more, it sucks. Luckily I go into far more manic stages where I don’t sleep much but am pretty happy! I like the manic version of myself much better!

Overall I think most ppl who know me would say they think I’m happy, prob more so than really is the case. I generally try to smile and joke around, rather be laughing than crying!! Lol. At the moment I’m fairly happy, “very happy” tho? Not sure bout all that. Talk to me 2marro!

[milwaukee mike]

i'm VERY HAPPY any day i have a winning day on horse racing

so about twice a year

[Chi_archie]

happiness is by and large mostly a genetic thing.

circumstances are very fleeting for long term happiness. Whether good things or bad things, they tend to have very little effect upon a person's day to day disposition.

Many studies have been done on this to try to understand how even people that were jailed wrongfully or people living in absolute squalor and poverty can be happy and content and people that have immeasurible wealth and success can be unhappy to the point of suicide.

It basically just comes down to a setpoint we were born with in our brains to find and create happiness regardless of our situations.

Perfect song for ya........

Live version woodstock.......

[eidolon]

that's downright pathetic

what a bunch of losers in this country... great access to food, healthcare, transportation, recreation... wonderful people and beautiful scenery all over

and what do people do? work way too many hours, screw around on facebook, and argue with their family about stupid meaningless shit

I heard that stat today. I think they also said it is the lowest ever in the 50 years they have been doing the poll. Also, the poll was taken before the George Floyd death.

[lonegambler23]

we should all move to denmark or finland

[blankoblanco]

Some people who are "very happy" probably just rate their happiness lower in these polls to reflect how upset they're supposed to be about all the social injustice and the pandemic and whatever, even when that shit has never affected them

I'm not "very happy" though, so I'm just guessing

Remember Albert Belle?
Same thing, severe osteoarthritis.
Hip is ravished, needs a second surgery.
Years of catching didn't help matters.
Scholastic wrestling too back in the day contributed.

I had a lot of arthritic inflammation problems in my hips and knees, especially after exercising. After taking curcumin daily for a couple weeks, it's hardly a problem anymore. I've been taking it for years now and if I was restricted to only one supplement, it would no doubt be the one I choose.
I take Pure Encapsulation Curcumin 500 with Bioperine. Get the 120 count and take 4 a day for a month. Maybe start with 2 a day at first to ease into the dosage as it might start killing bad stuff in digestive tract. After mixing some in my cats' food for a few days, my one cat expelled a 2 foot tape worm. Anyway, don't give up after a 1 or 2 weeks if you don't notice immediate benefit. I almost guarantee that you will notice a difference after a month. Keep in mind it is not tumeric. It is a compound extracted from tumeric that is roughly 3% of the content of the spice. Although some of the other compounds in tumeric may have therapeutic value, the curcumin is the most beneficial part and to get 2g daily of it, you would have to consume an impossible 60g of tumeric. The bioperine (which is basically part of black pepper) increases the absorption tremendously so make sure you get it with that. You can research other brands, but if you do, be careful because there is a lot of misleading labeling. Sometimes certain brands will take the extracted curcumin (3% stuff) then cut it with just tumeric then put something on the label that makes it sound like it is more pure than it really is. I would just go with the brand I recommend as I know they don't do that. It will cost $60 or so for the month supply. Aside from the anti-inflammatory benefits, it has other benefits as well. I've recommended it to to various people over the years and have received many thanks afterwards for doing so. One older guy hadn't been out on the golf course for over 8 years because too much back and shoulder pain. He's back on the golf course and even got his first hole in 1 in his life. Might be worth shot so you can be more happy. It won't rebuild your cartilage, but I bet it will noticeably reduce the surrounding inflammation, even if you are already taking a pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory.

What if some us who work so dam much don't have a choice??
My job forces me to work 60 hours a week. I wish I could just work 40. Of course I could choose a different job.

[ronald]

It's the social media era that makes so many people unhappy. Paying attention to what other people are doing, envying the best of what people choose to show.

Some of the best advice I ever got: don't compare your insides to other people's outsides. In other words, don't try to compare how you feel to how you believe other people feel based on what you see. People only show you what they want you to see.

[INVEGA MAN]

just one example. Today. hundreds of people waiting at unemployment office in Kentucky for 10 hours and most got turned away. THIS IS MOSCOW MITCH'S STATE AND IT IS RED. AND THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER. DO YOU THINK THERY ARE JUMPING FOR JOY. 20% UNEMPLOYMET RATE WILL DO THIS!!

Terrific and very informative stuff.
Thank you for this post, this post represents everything that is good about SBR.

I know about Curcumin, never tried it as of yet.
When I'm done with this post I am going to research it some more.

I'm not a real big fan of Oxy, but I'm on it, doctors advise.
I'm not an opioid head and I don't intend on being one but Oxy works.
I'm careful with it though, I don't go on Oxy joy rides.

I mix Kratom with coca cola, that works.
Kratom is nasty to the taste to the point where I almost gag but it works.
I used to be on Trammy's but they're useless (well to me they are useless)

Great post again.
Thanks.

Fentanyl patch is the best by far...........

Never worry about dosage as it's one patch every 72 hours..

Never damage any of your organs as it's through the skin.....

Zero side effects especially constipation as opiods are the king of constipation.......

Fentanyl is all synthetic...

[stevenash]

as opiods are the king of constipation.......

Tell me about it.
I was on the toilet for two hours the other day, my wife thought I was going into labor ready to deliver a baby.

Hope you try it and hope it helps you. I actually started taking it to help fight stomach infections that I am susceptible to because I take acid blockers. The inflammation reduction was a nice side effect.

They've jacked up the price on my brand the last few years which I'm not happy about, but the reality is that a 120 count of 500mg capsules is 60g. To get 60g of curcumin, you'd have to consume 2kg of tumeric. 2kg of tumeric will run you about $50. So paying $60 for the good stuff isn't too bad.

[nyplayer33]

Another blk fella found hangin from tree..thats 4. If more the percentage hapoy will decrease or incresde...deprnde what they thinknof him...words

Zero side effects until you don’t have any. An older friend of mine was taken off it and said it was hell on earth. I came off Oxys in 2007 and wished i was dead

I take Turmeric Curcumin 1000mg, one capsule per day. Break down is:
Tumeric is 900mg of Curcuma longa. Tumeric root.
Tumeric extract 100mg contains 95% Curcuminoids
Bioperine Black Peper. 5%.
100% preservative free and gluten free. 60 capsules, cost me about 15-20 bucks i think.
Seems to be working for me.
Called Radiance Platinum

So of the 1000mg, it appears it is 900mg of plain old tumeric, and 100mg of the of the good stuff. As I mentioned earlier, there are other compounds in tumeric other than the curcumin content that have some benefit. However, it's the curcumin that has the max benefit and is also the compound most studied and researched. If it works for you, like anything else, that's all that really matters. You might want to look into a little though and consider a higher dose of pure curcumin.

Do you mind sharing the brand you use?.

[Foxx]

Do you mind sharing the brand you use?.

Pure Encapsulation Curcumin 500 with Bioperine usually from covenant health products. With the eternally available coupon code, it usually costs about $60 for the 120 count of 500mg capsules. So that is 120 capsules of 500mg of the good stuff, so you get a total of 60g of the good stuff for $60. Your 60 count bottle has (60 x 100mg) or 6g of the good stuff for $20. So for $60, you get 18g of curcumin while I get 60g. You'll notice a color difference too. The extracted curcumin is a bright yellow/orange while the plain old tumeric is a brownish orange. My brand does sell a version without the bioperine and it is 30% or so cheaper. If you see that and like the price difference, just get that and take it with finely ground black pepper.

When you have a chance take a look at the supplement facts on the back of a bottle of Tumeric Curcumin 1000mg made by Radiance Platinum vs the Pure Encapsulation. All the wording is about the same on eiether bottle. Big difference in price though. What am i missing?.

It looks like each 1000mg capsule has 900mg of the spice tumeric and 100mg of curcumin (extracted from tumeric). The 900mg of tumeric would contain an additional 30mg of curcumin (3%) for a total of 130mg of curcumin per 1000mg capsule.
