I feel emotionally exhausted and weak, how do I improve my mood?

Man,

I can't help you. You seem to be in the flatline... I guess the only cure is patience ?

I, too, am in the flatline. Well it's not funny

Day 15.

“Failure is an Event, Its not a Person." - Zig Ziglar.

I am experiencing some mood swings these days like a depression. Sad feeling is lingering in my brain. But I am a human not an animal, I have the knowledge why I feel that way, dopamine. I have kept feeding my brain with that drug for too long that if gets deprived for few days it starts getting lugubrious. If my brain can get this message get it clear mate that "Its been so long that you've been driving my life and ruining everything which I love, you have become a spoiled brat like a truant giving excuses to skip school. Get this straight mate that in order to grow and become a responsible citizen you have to be tamed, you have to learn getting comfortable with getting uncomfortable. If I fly in an airplane I expect the pilot to be disciplined to take off and land safely, because my life is in his hands, he has the responsibility of people on board. Similarly my dear brain you have the responsibility too. You are responsible for me. Make me progressive so I can take responsibility of myself and then others in the society I live in, thats the only way people will respect you. So grow up and act responsibly."

Yesterday I was testing the waters, when you are dopamine deprived and you are on a regime your brain works in mysterious ways to get the dopamine hit, since I have made it very difficult to get access to any pictorial content which can trigger a relapse(video content totally inaccessible), so I started hearing some bawdy podcast and since the topic was interesting I kept on hearing it for half n hour at the same time browsing some more topics on the podcasts. Now I know its bad for my nofap, and this testing of waters can work against me totally, still I did hear it completely. Thats why I need professional help what should be my frame of mind that I can say finally that yes I have arrived home.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Until then going strong with amazing 15days of meeting my goals.

 

I'm here too right now. I've realized it's probably flatline. I have a history of anxiety and depression (nothing too bad, but definitely not great either) so when I feel sad my first response is to become self depriving and critical. But it struck me how much this slogginess and sadness feels like when I began on Prozac. That made me realize it's probably the dopamine, and so probably flatline.

I haven't been on the other side, but people on here say it'll come. So hang in there, be kind to yourself and find some other way to engage yourself.

 

Day 16.

“You have Rich resources lying dormant within You." - Bob Proctor.

I was up by 5:30 this morning. This is definitely an improvement in my lifestyle. Did my affirmations and went for a run in the nature, felt amazing after the run. In fact I was feeling alive. Then I heard this amazing talk by Bob Proctor on the QOT podcast by Sean Croxton, it pumped me up and I was like I can literally achieve anything what I want, I just need a strong desire to achieve it, strong discipline regime to work hard for it, and strong dedication to apply my 100% focus on it. All the 3Ds will help me achieve my goal. Then I mulled about the talk and related it to my run. I came up with a very important observation about myself. When I was running I tried 2approaches, first I was looking at the flag as a goal that I have to reach it and other I was not looking at the flag instead looking down on the road and kept running. Now I was very comfortable running looking down on the road. If you can see the bigger picture there was chances that I would have given up if I was running not looking at my goal. That is the root that maximum people cannot achieve their goal, cuz they are looking down on the road.
If you want to achieve a goal, your focus should be on the goal not anywhere else. You will see just by your focus you will have that extra pump that you wont give up in the middle of your journey.
Well I still need a strong regime, cuz I have just realized how to achieve a goal, albeit I have never achieved any. So any suggestions are welcome.
