I'm a NEET with no friends and money to spend for the gym, eating well, etc.
My life is miserable but I know that it won't get any better if I keep this up and don't try to fix it.
I know my dopamine levels have been fucked over for the last decade, so what are the chances I can restabilize my homeostasis to the old levels?
As last: what should I be careful of? Dying because too demoralized to get up from bed?

dopamine detox requires an insanely huge amount of willpower
I can't give you advice since I've never attempted it (tired more or less to restrict my seek of instant gratification but never something radical) but IIRC you can't even eat food during a dopamine detox so you'll have to fast like for 24 hours and get no exposure to any entertainment nor form of social interaction
It's holding yourself hostage in your room writing down thoughts and drinking water, nothing else

Do you have a substitute for my case or are you here just to tell a desperate man to give up hope?
You should already know how poorly that works.

Here's what I've learned:

First of all pray. If you don't believe in God then pray to God anyways. You WILL become slightly depressed when you allow yourself to come to a state of bored-ness. Like staring at a wall and allowing yourself to be accepted in being in a state of being bored doing nothing and doing nothing to change it. Wierd thing that can happen is that your testosterone is gonna boost. Do things you don't want to do out of will power. This is the path to becoming more of an adult. Then little by little gratify yourself with things that a healthy society esteems as a good thing. Read a good book, take care of things around the house that needs maintenance, pick up and read an old magazine. It will feel great and you can return to things that you like. Just remember that instantly gratifying things are a slippery slope so be careful.

Yeah but lets get real here. That its a stupid stereotype that doctors don't believe in God or any spirituality for that matter. Ff you think that it might have to be a derivative of behavioral science then so be it. You're smart. Instead rather if you consider the implications of the case for the Bible or God then you would have to reconsider it entirely. Since you haven't (And it shows) then why would rather be stuck in the 90's or 2000's? grow up

No, you got me wrong, I know a fuckton of doctors and scientists who believe in God: I'm from Italy and I've seen both faces of science.

Personally I kinda suspect of something along the lines of the Noosphere (which implies spirituality) but that's just a feeling, I don't really believe it.
As for God and the Bible I think they are neat fantasy material, but firmly believing into them seems kind of a stretch. Still: reading the Bible is on my to do list and I'll probably do it this year togheter with the other sacred texts.

Nonsense, if your dopamine levels are "fucked" it's most likely copper deficiency.

Actual biochemist here. Any and all "detox" regimes are absolute bullshit. You're trying to fix your life by targeting a chemical, and us practicing chemists know how hard it is to target and manipulate a chemical in a living being.

What exactly is your problem, what is the root of it and how can you fix it? Certainly not dopamine. Brainlet

Take responsibility and charge of your life and stop looking for things to blame.

Finally some usefull information.
Any idea of how bad the damage of copper deficiency can be in the long run? Is a full recovery even possible after all this time?

It basically means dopamine accumulates in your body, but it cannot be used, because the next step requires dopamine beta hydroxylase, which requires copper. So it shoudln't be permanent.

Then review the case of the Bible against other sacred texts. It often refered as a historical reference to try to learn about a culture long ways ago. Ancient civilizations. You need to see the magnitude of difference against all these things and consider the prophecies of Jesus Christ. I cannot respect an opinion of the fact unless that other person has done their due diligence in that case that perhaps God exists and He has been interacting with us and that Sin is the barrier and the problem to the world. And that the name of God is YHWH
