I feel like I have been standing at the edge of the abyss for weeks now, possibly just a small push from falling into depression or losing everything I've built. Please help me.

>Life was perfect, incredible girlfriend of several years, 5th year MD/PhD student, hang out with friends every everning, work out a lot
>Suddenly girlfriend breaks up with me
>Everything starts going bad at work, lose months-worth of research
>Friends so busy they barely even have time to talk on the phone, gradually losing them
>Stop working out completely
>Stay awake every day till 3-4 AM jacking off and wasting time
>Get dangerously close to missing deadlines at work

I feel like I am losing every pillar of support one by one, and I can't get myself back on track. I tried to stop watching porn and couldn't keep it up for even a week, I tried to go back to working out, but stopped after a couple of weeks. How can I get my life back on track?

YOu have taken the first step OP, by realizing you are going off the rails. The next thing you need to do , I think is work on your sleep. I think stress is keeping you up, so its a bit of a vicous cycle. Google getting a goods night sleep. Have a walk before bed etc. you do need to talk to your friends and say that you are having a shit time- they will help. Tell them whats going on. They probably dont realise you need help.

God Speed OP>

Thanks, starting on sleep might be a good idea since I won't have time to fap, though I'm afraid I'll just end up not being able to get up in the morning. Maybe I'll also start making appointments in the morning to force me to get up and go to work early.

It was hard, and I was doing really well too (top of my med-school class before the PhD break, aced all my M.Sc. exams, fantastic lab and PhD adviser, lots of great ideas). That's why I felt life was so perfect before everything started falling apart a few months ago.

You should start with cutting out the procrastination and jaerking off until 4 AM.

Breaking up with a girlfriend sucks, but it happens and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. If it is really getting to you then possibly make some time to see a therapist once a fortnight or so to talk it out with someone who is trained to deal with grief.

Friends come and go, we all get busy and sometimes we all get busy at once.. Use that time to catch up on work or go back to the gym.

Thank you for the advice. I was trying to do just that, but can't seem to cut off porn or get any motivation to work out, I'm probably addicted at this point. No idea how I can summon the motivation to improve my life anymore.

You are probably losing motivation for gym because you are lethargic after jerking off too often.
Only you can solve this for yourself, of course there is always help out there but ultimately you have to steer the ship.
Pull yourself up and get outside, make something of today.

>MD/PhD Program
>That amazing
Its a lot of work, but it really just boils down to having an above average GPA in a non shit major.
