Would you take a magical happiness pill?

[sunnysidedown]

Assume that the magical pill won't solve any physical problems not linked to your mental health, or problems in your environment, but that it will make you happy and restore your zest for life.

 

[vak]

There actually might be one for me, I haven't tried many AD. Not interested in looking for it though, happiness comes and goes and doesn't satisfy me.

 

[R_N]

No because emotions blind me. Any kind.

 

[RedHates]

Kind of like joy from We Happy Few. That would be interesting.

 

[Malaria]

Maybe. The idea sounds nice.

 

[sserafim]

Not sure actually

 

[TiredTurtle]

No, abusing drugs to feel happy just makes things even worse

 

[Redleaf1992]

A pill that cures your problems? Of course. A pill that makes you a happy zombie unable reflect on your problems? No thanks.

 

[4am]

only if the pill is filled with cyanide

 

[FutureHanger]

No. I don't want to be happy I want to be free from this evil world and I don't deserve happiness anyways

 

[Aim]

Hell YESS

 

[psp3000]

Kind of like joy from We Happy Few. That would be interesting.

was just about to comment this I am shocked anyone remembers the game / demo

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

Yes

Only if I would be able to work towards actual happiness in the meantime

 

[MindFog]

I'd take anything to feel alive tbh.

 

[LunarCharm]

I feel like when the unhappiness is caused by unchangeable things in the real world, it would still leave me wanting to die; being blinded by happiness wouldn't do much

 

[FuneralCry]

No as I don't want to exist under any circumstances, I just wish to permanently cease existing. I don't wish for "happiness", I just want nothingness. The whole idea of happiness doesn't even make sense to me especially as existence is so cruel and futile, to have the ability to exist is so undesirable.

 

[leloyon]

Nope, my life still sucks either way.

hell yeah
the game wasnt as good as i hoped it would be though. i loved act 1 the most. it was an interesting concept and i almost wish it was real.

 

[CasperDaGhost]

No, probably not. I mainly want to CTB due to philosophical and rational reasons. To take a happy pill would be to cover up a world I can't stand with some fake bs. It'd just make everything worse.

 

[falling_snow]

fuck yeah, i need that. thare is basically no cure for my depression, so if there were, i would take without hesitation.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Probably not. I can't imagine feeling naturally happy in this world and after so long not feeling happy, I wonder if it would make me feel delussional. Lol.

It's weird because it would make more sense to take it. Make my remaining time here more bearable but, something feels off about it. Maybe some of my melancholy I enjoy to an extent. It's what I recognise as 'me'.

There was definitely a time I would have though. I kind of thought/ hoped that's what antidepressants were.

 

[Guy Smiley]

If it would make me happy for the rest of my life, then yes, absolutely. But if I would eventually just fall back into depression and misery, then no. I've had quite enough of that already.

 

[Doemu]

I would take 100 of that pills and ctb my self
