> What is good for improving sense of humor? I mean, seeing the humor in things, being quick-witted, etc. I found that Picamilon and 2-3 drinks definitely did the trick for some time. Any advice on this?
Yes, we all drink from time to time, that's fine if it doesn't hurt what you are facing and what medications you are taking, but all it does in that regard you are mentioning is make you lose your inhibition. (And possibly get a hangover and depression)
Building up your self-esteem by doing things is a way of raising your confidence, and lowering depression and maybe by that you will rediscover your humor.Sometimes laughing at yourself (I'm not trying to be contrite) in a positive way helps some.
People will always have a selective sense of humor -- some subjects will make them down, and some will really pick you up.
Do you like music -- sometimes that can generate some humor?
I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't in the end come from a pill, but from what you inherit by doing things and especially social interaction.
At least that's my view -- I don't think there's a "humor pill". And I'm not trying to be mean by saying that.
-- best wishes
