Devoting life to exercise, sobriety & abstinence

[Blancmange]

Imagine a half drowned rat clinging onto a piece of driftwood that's riding the turbulent waters of a horribly flooded river. That's what I feel like.

I am letting go now, letting go of wanting anything more from this life, because wanting always leaves me disappointed.

I am going to become more like a monk (without the religion), unfortunately I have a very high and very kinky sex drive, but I have accepted I will never get a GF, so it's a biological drive that I still need to reconcile.
I have no will to drink anything except water and herbal tea, for the past 6 months I've barely enjoyed eating food unless it is bland, material objects hold less interest for me than they used to.

So my life now will just be about abstinence and exercise (bike riding) now, I'm so desperate to just hold on & not to lose myself completely to mental illness, and make it through this life without being further sucked into a hole of depression and the overwhelming emptiness, just to make it through this life is my only goal now.

Makes sense to me. I thought about the same.

Laziness and pot are my biggest copes. Also booze.

I've been trying that for years already... There is a book called Letting Go by a David R Hawkings. , I read a lot of copes, I do no fap streaks etc. I turned into a pseudo spiritual guru for myself. I have been working on my own thesis for like 5 years, gathering and researching the ultimate cope. Another theory is to workout finding your true self and discover any repression and learn acceptance of any underlying trauma that causes your stress.
I can't say this "journey" is working as well as I wish it did ngl. I feel like endorphins are a lie, I don't get energy boost or any joy out of life either way. I'm still totally fucked up with anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression constantly. So I relapse and drink and fap and do it all over again endlessly.
Working out, losing fat, and trying to be a monk is better, but I still get totally fucked up with, envy, jealousy, etc. Still get an intense yearning for more out of life (intimacy), and that causes physical pain in my abdomen and destroys my soul no matter how profound and high I was on my copes.
