Because even just thinking about women drains you of your vitality. Source: Been completely celibate for approximately one year now. Meaning, no pornography, no masturbation, and not even thinking about girls unless one is right in front of me and I have to talk to her. It's been absolutely great, all my depression has vanished and I have so much more energy for work now

In my experience, drinking a lot of alcohol worsens anxiety when you aren't drunk. You are a little less balanced, a little less sharp, a little more tired and a slightly worse memory, plus the random headaches and hangovers you'll have once in a while. Your sleep is lower quality and you'll stay up a little later to keep feeling drunk. Then you will have a a lot less money for something that damages your body and worsens the daylight hours. All for numbness, some dopamine and a few less thoughts when falling asleep.

My advice would be to make your life a little bit better and stop the drinking.

I think this is it. PLENTY of happy people do these, but for some reason, you do them and feel guilty or something.

Just do them less. Limit yourself and be productive before you do them. Keep your hobbies for when the sun goes down and do the studying and work while the sun is still up.

Example: I always made sure to at the very, very least read all of my notes when I got home. Not just today's notes, but all of my notes. That way, at the very, very least, I did something that day besides attend class.
I also like to mix youtube with my hw or math study. Every problem is 5min of videos. So If I did 1 problem, I could watch for 5min, If I did 4 problems I could watch for 20min. Studying that way every day probably wasn't the best, but my GPA is still above 3.0 because I did problems EVERYDAY.

Start taking Lions Mane mushroom, exercising, using sauna, sleeping 8 hours, taking a good multi, eating liver and berries etc. Soon your test levels will skyrocket and your dopamine will regulate.

I was in the same situation as you, except my recovery time was 2 years (1 year actual recovery, 1 year just being depressed in my parent's house). It's not easy but the brain fog eventually lifts. Mine was so bad I literally went to a neurologist because I thought I had dementia or something. The biggest thing that helped me was I adhered to a schedule instead of doing whatever I wanted all day.

Also eat more and drink less. Physical activity can help with appetite. I don't have any advice for drinking since that was never an issue for me.

Zen meditation, 15 minutes daily.
Make the focus trying not to judge your thoughts. If you do it a couple times and say "it's not working", than you're missing the point because you're too emotionally invested in accomplishing a goal to put your mind at rest.

Do 15 minutes daily of non-judgmental observation of your thought process for a month then tell me how you feel.

That's your problem. I had the same weakness for the majority of my life and I'm currently in the process of overcoming it. I don't know how I'm doing it (never saw a therapist or psychiatrist) so I can't advise you but it means you can move past it too. It's all in your head.

>Help me, how do i fix my dopamine addicted, apathetic brain

To fix dopamine addiction you really just have to reset the brain. So no dopamine for 30 days or so and then induce it back slowly. So no sugar, no fapping, no porn, no warm showers, no browsing the internet or watching TV. Basically be as boring as possible for 30 days.

Now apathy is all about caring about yourself. Eat right, sleep right, work out, go easy on the drinking.

Note: you can't fix it all today but you can control (1) eating (2) sleeping and (3) working out with minimal effort starting today.

Note 2: you feel bad now because your body hormones is out of whack. You put garbage nutrients in your body and you still feel bad. Eat right, sleep right and in a month you will feel better.

Note 3: Studying is easier if you take ownership of a small piece of your homework. Like tell yourself "I will read and own this chapter of the book". Dont worry about the next 9 chapters. Just worry about the one ahead of you.

Note 4: I'm not joking about the eating thing. I love sugar but I make it more tolerable by spreading out my intake evenly across the day so my body stays at a consistent level of functioning. No sugar crashes here. Also replacing carbs with protein and drinking more water does wonders.

1. Start by doing less things that release dopamine. Limit video games to 1 hour a day max. Consume less than 70g of sugar per day. Also, stop fapping as this will drastically increase your willpower.

2. Start lifting and doing cardio. It doesn't have to be too fancy or advanced, just enough to build strength and release energy. This has always helped me with my anxiety and exercise has been shown to slow down the decrease of IQ with age.

3. Eat 3 full GOOD meals a day. Breakfast is most important for starting your day out and making you feel overall good. Also remember to take a multivitamin and possibly some vitamin b12 and d3 to feel a little more like doing something. If not enough then try also drinking a cup of coffee in the morning.

4. Write everything out. Get a whiteboard and write out everything you need to do in a day and what you're struggling most with. It is very important to organize your thoughts.

I dropped out of uni, weathered the consternation of my relatives, started pickup, fell in love, got heartbroken, started writing poetry, converted to Taoism, worked in a pizza shop and call centre, started learning Chinese, started a degree in Chinese, moved to China for a year, graduated with a Chinese degree, started getting fit to try to join the foreign legion, found out I had a problem with my leg, fixed my energy sapping vitamin D deficiency, fixed my sleep, and am now in the second semester of my science degree, planning to become a teacher or a mathematics researcher, supporting myself via teaching English overseas (preferably in a Russian speaking then an Arabic speaking place) in the meantime. I can't speak to other people, but giving in to procrastination and only doing things that I feel are important worked pretty well.
I'm not sure if I'm a one off case in this, but I'd guess not. If what you're doing holds no interest for you, maybe you need to drop out and work crappy jobs like the call centre and have odd experiences and find a religious grounding.
