I am thinking of undertaking a complete dopamine fast . What do you all think?

[glowIntheDark]

So my screen time is very very bad currently like 15hrs a day average bad.

Like spending 8 hours straight in bed every class missing uni to scroll reddit bad.

Like not being able to function in my uni without having goyslop music blasted into my ears by earphones bad.

Like wasting my life hate reading liberals and foids disgusting shit opinions bad.

I could go on and on. But I don't want to waste ways my 20s my "physical prime " like this. I look like a pale skinny fat ghost because I barely go out in the sun and bedrot everyday. I don't get a single thought in my brain it's all mush and numb from constant overstimulation. So I am thinking of going the extreme route and complete dopamine fast.

I will delete Instagram Twitter tick tock .
I will delete my account in all internet forums.
I will delete Spotify and leave my earphones in my hostel dorm.
No youtube while eating I will just stare into space.
Just zero phone use outside of a bit of messaging mom and dad and non internet based services like calculator and camera.

Other than that zero phone zero music. One week.

I just want to get a semblance of me back . Currently my brain is so nush and ruined and even my mood is a 100% irritable throughout the day.

I don't think humans were meant to be exposed like this to so much sensory information. It's daining for the soul I want my soul back.whag do y'all think?

I have chosen option two and four. You have my support, brocel.
Good luck.

I think that's sensible. Using social media and whatnot definitely affects your overall mood, concentration, etc.

Personally, I think that multitasking (i.e. doing two or more stimulating things at once, like watching YouTube whilst gaming) is particularly bad, so I try to avoid that in particular, even though I don't plan on doing a full on "dopamine fast".

Damn, that's brutal. You would certainly benefit from undertaking this then.

Maybe you shouldn't go completely cold turkey if you're already so dependent, though. It's likely you'll just give up quicker that way.

 

[Cuckoja]

I think its a good decision, but dont delete accounts you care about. You might want eventually to go back.

true I am scared of the withdrawals like a drug addict

 

[TooSomething]

From my own experience with addictions, it is simple. It's all or nothing.

Either you go cold turkey and push through or you never really wanted to quit.

It is brutal, but this is the only way, man.

Everything else are milquetoast half measures.

Stay strong, brocel.

 

[BasedGoyslopReviews]

i have considered the same thing before

 

[Glassness]

Don't delete your account here, .is makes you productive

 

[Pancakecel]

I'd say ditch social media, keep this site and jewtube, but mix up what you do instead of non stop screen time. Try doing a bit of exercise each day for example.

Unless you are going to spend all day wondering around outside, or reading books etc. removing the internet and screens entirely won't benefit you much imo, as you'll end up extremely bored.

Better to just add some other things to your daily routine, for variety sake.

Yeah this is what I found too tbh. Whenever I have said oh I will only watch shitock for half an hour I have ended up spending hours scrolling. This half buisness doesn't work. Didn't work for my soda addiction too.
Cold turkey is the way
