If you were trying to kill yourself, this will work.

Sexual activity is the one thing that drained my motivation more than anything else. Everything else on that list, no real effect aside from time saved and used toward better things. Abstain from masturbation, sex, pornography and sexual thoughts. Prioritize this above all.

Just diversify what you do. I believe overstimulation is the problem, do things that require focus that you wouldn't usually do

Care to explain? I thought depression was a chemical inbalance.

>>10775844

How about phones and technology, I've heard those are haram dopamine addictions?

>>10775879
I still was able to remain motivated and productive with these things in my life. They are tools and they should be used for constructive ends. Not Facebook, tinder, or 4chan.

You’re retarded and have NEVER had sex, so you’re pretending it’s not actually that great. Sex is the greatest possible pleasure outside of hard drugs

>>10775883
It's remarkably similar to masturbation and is very underwhelming relative to these aggrandizing expectations if you've actually had it. To say it is the greatest possible pleasure outside of hard drugs is all the more reason to abstain from it, for OP's sake. I'd say its even more pleasurable than these. Which, makes sex and masturbation is WORSE than hard drugs even, more subject to habituation, and harder to combat the desire and urge. Pleasure is passing, fleeting, and can never be satiated for more than a half hour. Constant joy is traded for concentrated bursts of pleasure that leave to enslaved.

Sex is good for 30 seconds and then its days or weeks of self contempt and disgust. Could pretty easily go the rest of my life celibate.

>>10775887
>Sex is good for 30 seconds and then its days or weeks of self contempt and disgust

There’s a story here. Who the hell are you having sex with that you’re dry for weeks afterwards and disgusted with yourself? And you also last just thirty seconds? LMAO

>>10775886
>It's remarkably similar to masturbation

No, not at all. I’m sorry but I can’t take you seriously.

>To say it is the greatest possible pleasure outside of hard drugs is all the more reason to abstain from it, for OP's sake. I'd say its even more pleasurable than these.

Pleasure is good.

>Pleasure is passing, fleeting, and can never be satiated for more than a half hour.

Imagine having sex for only half an hour. Shroom highs last longer than two hours.

Midwit redditor, the post.

Virgin incel, the post.

Enjoy your life devoid of positive sensations. I will exploit the body given to me.

?

This is retarded, and will also increase dopamine a bit. Try antipsychotics to feel what a real dopamine blockade feels like

btw try ketamine it worked for my anhedonia

>>10775956
>anhedonia

Sounds like Hell

>>10775924
No you wouldn't

>>10775826
Develop a relationship with something greater than yourself. Try volunteer work. Stay hydrated, wake up early even if you don't need to and give yourself a task to complete no matter how minor. Touch base with a loved one you haven't talked to in a while. Dopamine fasting is going to be a wild extreme and you will fail, why not try cutting out one excess instead of everything at once. Good luck anon.

Never used Reddit, sorry. Your blind hatred of other websites is only cringe.

>>10775973
>no-no I never used Reddit and that's reddit with a capital r. y-you have blind hatred for it and other websites, as if this is not a complete and total projection of my blind hatred displayed in my earlier posts

>>10775897
30 seconds for the orgasm contempt and disgust afterwards because personally I find it morally iffy to bang someone I dont respect, but in addition to never having what I would call a proper gf I also respect almost no one

>>10775984
That’s really sad anon. Get a girlfriend and learn how to have sex for more than thirty seconds.

>>10775982
Dunno who you think I have blind hatred for. I feel only pity for you. It is sad that you feel the way you do.

>>10775990
It's even sadder to be a slave to your dick.

>>10775995
You may feel that way, but it brings me pleasure so I do not care. I usually combine it with psilocybin or mescaline. I am nothing but a servants of my impulses and this is good. Slaanesh wills it.

>>10775865
Serotonin imbalance hypothesis is not mainstream anymore.

Not who you're replying to, but I feel like when someone disagrees with you, your first instinct is to look for reasons to disregard what they're saying. There's really a lot of knowledge you're going to miss out on if you continue interacting with people that way.

>Not who you're replying to, but I feel like when someone disagrees with you, your first instinct is to look for reasons to disregard what they're saying.

What they say is useless to me in this context since it doesn’t reflect my personal experience. We’re not exchanging peer-reviewed papers from Nature, we’re exchanging anecdotes .

>>10776007
not related to dopamine

>>10776038
It indirectly is. More serotonin less dopamine generally.

>no food
>7 days

This is pretty stupid isnt it

>>10776341

Snake diet is the way to go desu

>>10776341
If you've never fasted before, very stupid.
If you have and are used to it and have some fat stores, no not stupid. Beneficial if done very infrequent.

How would you manage going to work without food for 7 days?

Just kidding, anon. I know the answer.

>wait some time, have sex again
>pleasure.

it is pretty great but not like masturbation.
there is other things involved that you cant get from jerking off.

>>10775844
>sexual activity
Nope. It's having femoids follow you around like a beta provider fag that really drains the lymph nodes.

>>10775826
eat healthy low calory food, drink water, take MULTIVITAMINS, because even healthy food these days is actually crap, do light exercise, dont eat after 6 and go to bed early, its good but you need to do this longer than seven days, probably at least a month or better 90/100 days
