Why do I have zero motivation to do anything?
It's Saturday, I've got the whole day off. The weather outside is beautiful.
I could exercise, I could go out hiking, I could attend a festival that's happening nearby, I could go shopping
I could do some reading, learn new things, I could clean my apartment, hell I could do something completely simple like watch a good movie.
Yet I'm laying on my bed browsing 4chan and I lack the willingness to even stand up.
How do I get motivation to do... anything?
It's called being depressed af

It almost certainly relates in some way to dopamine.
We don't fully understand how it works, but dopamine seems to have a clear causal relationship to many mental states, including motivation.

Dopamine is an incredibly powerful neurotransmitter that seems to play a role in almost every mindstate, including anger, depression, psychosis, happiness, fatigue, paranoia, everything.
I've been like that for about five years now.

Got arrested by the police yesterday and got the shit kicked out of me in preccint. Been feeling like dying for years now and thought this would be my way out, since I assumed the police would just shout me

It doesn't really work that way, man.
Whatever you do, do not use stimulants like Adderall or Dexedrine to give you energy and motivation.
I did this because I had a similar problem to OP, I eventually developed a tolerance and it now no longer works, leaving me feeling worse than before.

because you already get all the dopamine your brain wants by browsing 4chan and jerking off

Drugs like that are incredibly dangerous. It blows my mind that American doctors are so quick to prescribe them to kids, and that teachers try to influence parents to make the kids take them.

Yeah, I can't believe how easy it was to get a prescription.
I've probably ruined my brain forever.
>>36811374
but how do I get dopamine if browsing 4chan and masturbating only makes me feel like shit

I've been this way since middle school. I'm 33 now. It never gets better.
Its a nice saturday. I'm relaxing after a week of work and eating some glazed bbq ribs. Why the fuck would I want to go anywhere? Its comfy at my own place.
I already spend a good part of the week being out of my house, why would I want to do it during my free time?
this picture disgust me more than anything else
