Ask Lemmy

Dopamine

My smartphone. Unfortunately.

Coffee

Sweets. I have a huge sweet tooth.

Reddit and Lemmy, I can't stop opening Reddit and Lemmy every few minutes, I'm completely sick

Internet...

But also constantly thinking about past memories... nostalgia?

Going out to eat. I try to limit myself to 3 times a week.

Reading academic books that freak people out when they come over to my place and get me labeled as a pretentious douche.

Porn, Video Games and Youtube Shorts. The Holy Trifecta of Loneliness .

Staying up long in the evening. Might sound a bit weird but there's a thing called bedtime procrastination, and I'm very bad with it. I'll try so hard to fix my sleeping schedule but the next evening I'll again be like "nah we can do half an hour more" which turns into multiple hours, which turns into another day with no energy. However in the evening I'll feel awake again and the cycle just continues. I'm going to talk to a doctor about it next.

Thinking.

I'm not good at it, but I do it often.

cum

Soda for me.
I love it.
I hate it.

I just wish so much that there were half sugar sodas out there. All the synthetic sugars of the diet or 0 calorie ones taste like garbage.

I've been cutting the ones I drink by pouring a can of eltzer water in with the regular can of soda, but I think even that tastes a little strange compared to just watering things down.

Blue cheese. Specifically double cream blue cheese spread on triscuits.

I used to think blue cheese tasted like play-doh...

Weed got me through the hell that was last year, and it sure as shit looks like it's gonna be just as useful this year.

Food

Hobbies, I can't get enough of them, gotta collect 'em all. Every couple months it's a new fixation.

My computer, in full working order, with Internet access.

If any of that goes wrong, I'm in a very bad place.

Caffeine, I love it.

Nicotine, and to a very mild degree alcohol

Food

It might be an eating disorder

I avoid talking to my therapist about it because I don't want to confront the truth.

Music, I NEED it on nearly all the time or I’ll drive myself insane repeating parts of songs in my head. Only turn it off to sleep

Edging

I’d say coffee, because I have a low level dependency on morning caffeine and high level emotional dependence. I’d say alcohol, because I tend to binge drink weekends.

But really, it’s my smartphone. I can cut alcohol and caffeine out easily, but I can’t lose the smartphone, which means it’s always there ready for me to dissociate.

:(

Doomscrolling

Opening outlook, checking my email, closing outlook. Repeat.

Also weed and lemmy

computer/internet

Video games

Nicotine but I just use pouches now instead of smoking, nasty fucking addiction. I’m also an alcoholic big time so I don’t drink. I like drugs…

Just one?

Caffeine.

Former addict of nicotine, alcohol
