    Someone suggested it in the previous page, just give yourself rewards in small amounts

    Well I did it indirectly so I’m not too sure

    I was just too sad to eat or do anything entertaining

    My free time was spent crying, occasionally I’d walk to her favorite spots she’d like to hang out and just reminisce

    She was big in nature, so I would just frequent around parks, places with open fields & nice views

    RIP and I hope you're ok now

    But I think you've connected the dots the wrong way

    I think losing someone and being in your lowest for some time makes you see to colors of the world better later when you're over

    I'm not saying Dopamine Detox isn't working. I was thinking about doing the same.

    I just think what you've experienced is something like catharsis but x100

    A person in a normal situation will never feel the clarify you were feeling just by a dopamine detox

    I think I understand

    My week alone I felt horrible, scared you know ? When someone you know personally just dies it makes you feel petrified about your own mortality

    When I stop doing the fast indirectly I felt happy, everything felt more enjoyable but I’m worried this is only temporary, when it wears off I’ll just go back to being unhappy

    I get it
    Or maybe I don't and no one who hasn't lost someone close to them will

    But I really hope you'll see what's important in this life clearer now and find happiness in things you've never thought about

    I don't know where I've heard this but someone said something in the lines of Knowing death is terrible but it's also a blessing bc it keeps you closer to life and love

    I hope you'll love stronger than ever now and learn to appreciate the moment.
    Something that is extremely hard in the era of spending 8h a day on your smartphone and internet.

    I that way occasional Dopamine Detox might actually help you stay in that state you are now

    So if you're fasting completely, you're just delaying the long term gratification related to anything that stimulates dopamine.

    If you look at the way you'd train a pet (lol) rewarding yourself intermediately works too if you have the discipline to do it. 1 hour of studying or whatever = 30 minutes of chilling. You'd appreciate the leisure time more.

    whatever works best is whatever is easier for each person to follow through with

    It’s not that easy for everyone. I don’t even get worthwhile quotes on here and a part of my brain still lights up when I get a notification bell. You have to rewrite your brain in a sense.

    Going on another detox, I will update this thread once I’m done

    I need a break from the chaos and the internet in general

  • May 7, 2020

    I think that with anything in life, if you can go 24 hours without it, you don’t need to worry about what kind of negative effects it’s having on you
