So update a few days ago I decided to go on a dopamine fast for a week where I would use zero social media zero YouTube zero Spotify. No internet at all because of my chronic phone doomscrolling addiction (15 hour average for last 3 years).
Anyways It was so hard mang wtf I thought it would be easy but I was generally getting withdrawals like a crackhead in rehab.
Like Day 1- I could literally feel my mind melting. It was so mentally painful. I started talking to myself out loud in empty lifts , I literally spend 14 hours sleeping i thought I would studymaxx for my end sems but nah .
By the second day it was literally physically impossible for me to be without the slightest dopamine hit. I lost my appetite and that's when I have to walk a lot between my classes and there was a general doom and despair in my mood I felt like a dementor had sucked all soul out of me - an empty void.
i was legit getting suicidal from lack of any stimulation and my brain was screaming at me and I was feeling deep physical pain in my chest like a burning sensation.I thought I was getting a heart attack.I had to re-download twitter insta reddit and this forum again or I would have literally died.
so yes I failed at my experiment horribly but now I m very scared for my mental health because I literally turned into a zombie without a day of phone to numb my brain.
