Dopamine detox/nofap/dieting doesnt work because forcing behavior unnaturally depletes your ego, causing you to binge

what should i do instead ?

Act more naturally: dont count calories, dont schedule yourself/follow schedules, dont write things down, dont prepare, eat what you feel like eating, gossip about people, act more gender fluid. This will make you more nt by replenishing your ego

The best way to get over something is to keep doing it until you get tired of it. If my friend was addicted to the drugs I would tell him to keep doing it why because its the only way for him to learn for himself.

however seeding advice is still good (seeding advice means to plant an idea in someones mind so that when they go through a moment of realization, they can remember the seeded advice they were given throughout their life..

Dopamine detox is like taking drugs to chase a high lol. Drug addicts like to binge and take tolerance breaks inorder to get high as fuck just like dopamine detoxers hehe. Nofap is likey subconscious evolutionary reproductive mechanism that depletes your ego enough to commit rape and reproduce.

Sniffing cocaine too since that's what your body wants

Ego depletion occurs when you dont do something that you want to do. I dont want to take cocaine because I know it will make me feel bad in the future. If you want to use cocaine you should use it

brushing my teeth in the morning drains like 50% of my willpower for the day

showering - even more

the only way i can shower is if i dissociate and let my body do the work while im not there

what is causing this brutal defect in my motivation?

Feeling bad about doing nothing or procrastinating depletes ego very quickly

Yeah but what can you do

The only time i felt confident and ready to complete tasks was when i started taking bupropion, but it stopped working or im not feeling it anymore

don't worry ego replenishes over time all you have to do is wait and let it come back naturally. There is nothing to worry about

Try to make as little decisions as possible
