i'm wondering if any nootropics, peptides, supplements or anything have such an effect. has anything you've taken helped in any regard with these things? would like to hear from anyone with such experiences.

Open-source models with similar creative/writing capability to Claude Opus 4.6?

I've been playing Dnd/writing stories with opus 4.6 for a while and I love its capability, but the pro sub is killing my ability to play with it and experiment. Is there anything open source that reaches a similar level of creative writing ability, or equal to or better? I don't really care about the stuff like coding. If there isn't any such model, is there likely to be one soon? I'm not in to the LLM space much but after seeing the capability I want to get into it.

I'm losing myself and my future, and I can't take it

I'm diagnosed with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, Major Depressive Disorder, and as of this year, bipolar 2/cyclothymia. Thing is, though, I'm not sure if bipolar is even an accurate diagnosis anymore. I thought that I might have it, and psych agreed, based on a few criteria like some antidepressants making me feel "hypomanic" with racing thoughts and such at normal to low dosages, but now that I think about it, maybe it could just be sensitivity from ADHD mimicing symptoms of bipolar. I'm not even sure what exactly I ahve anymore.

Anyway, the reason I thought I may have bipolar in the first place and may ahve been misdiagnosed was because nothing seemed to fully help with all my depression symptoms. I've tried almost every SSRI there is, with varying degrees of helping or not helping. I tried taking vraylar a few months ago and it completely ruined me. It felt like it was starting to help for a while with a slight improvement, then soon afterwards my mood metaphorically plunged into the depths. I was so depressed and anhedonic I could barely get out of bed, if at all. That was maybe two months ago and I still don't feel the same as I did prior to having taken it. It has an absurdly long half life so it will probably be another month or two before it's completely out of my system all the way, so I'm hoping to improve some more, but still.

My two major symptoms are 1: anhedonia, a lack of interest in things I used to like doing, or finding things interesting or fun in general (at least in the long term). I remember as a kid while I was in school, I used to daydream and be excited about getting home so I could go play on my PlayStation. I don't really get excited about things or look forward to them like that anymore... which feels awful, because I really want to. It's just that nothing seems fun.

And 2: debilitating motivational deficits. It's so difficult, and feels almost impossible sometimes, for me to force myself to do something that I don't want to, and even sometimes that I do want to. This is the major one.. I'm copletely dependant on my parents for support. I don't have a job because I can't muster up the effort to apply anywhere. Even if I did, and somehow managed to get a job, I'm terrified that one day I'll start spiraling, or be too anxious or depressed or unable to motivate myself to go in that day and lose it. I don't help around the house. I don't cook, or clean, or do laundry. I feel terrible about it. I'm a financial black hole for my parents and I hate it. I don't want to be. I want to be able to motivate myself to do all of those things, and KEEP doing it without stopping. I'm 25 now and I've been like this my whole life, and I'm mostly inactive too, to the point it's somewhat of a health issue and is resulting in some muscle weakness and malnutrition, because due to autism I have a selective diet and trouble eating anything but specific things.

I want to be able to eat a balanced diet and cook and live by myself, and I want to enjoy things I used to, I want to be able to exercise and do basic chores and tasks without it feeling impossible to get started, and I want to feel fulfilled and actually help my parents instead of just being a burden. I want to be able to care for THEM when they get older.

I'm considering residential treatment. Would they be able to help with all this? Just, someone please tell me that you've had a similar experience to mine and were able to get better. Please.

lore question: what is the council of humanity?

okay, so we know that humanity isn't actually on the moon and that's all a story for morale; that the moon server just contains what little genetic information on humans remains; and that the council was created after project yorha. but, what actually IS the council? i can't find a solid answer. is the "council" an ai on the moon server or something? in the anime, commander white is seen conversing with it and actively taking orders from it, so it has to be SOMETHING. it also mentions something about "obtaining god through process 11" so it's clearly doing something more in the background. anyone have any info on this?

hotkey to show/hide all active indicators

would just be a nice convenience to have when you want to get a clear view of the price action and not have to turn off your indicators one by one
