Take some advice

Eli you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The world is filled with a bunch of low dopamine idiots, and you are outing yourself as one of them. Look into the work of Jack Kruse.

Also, the dopamine signaling pathway goes through many nuclei that coordinate the drive or urge to do something. While this could very well end in the prefrontal cortex as it is where executive functioning takes place, there is much more to the story. Again- I get the sentiment of the post, just thought I would try to point you in a direction since you seem eager about the science.

I get the sentiment- but dopamine is not just manufactured if you soak in sun. That’s not at all how the production of dopamine works in the brain. If you’re interested, read the book The Molecule of More by Daniel Lieberman. Anna Lembke also has a great book on this. It’s about more than just not getting enough sunlight- and it’s disingenuous to make people believe that all they need to do is look at the sun more to “fix their dopamine”. There’s real work that must be done. Keep it up though brother, glad it’s going well for you.

I agree but disagree with the "reacting normally" bit. Most people with this issue have desensitized dopamine receptors. This makes it hard for them to reach and maintain baseline levels. Baseline feels "empty" or "depressive" for a lack of better terms. Tasks do not feel as rewarding as they normally should. This is why they can't wait for or crave their next dopamine high. This is also why, if they can, they tend to avoid low-effort or unrewarding activities. Intense, unpleasant and high effort activities can usually help a ton on the road to recovery as well.

This is important and true. Dopamine is the main cause. But since we go below baseline, it causes more problems. So it takes a while to come back to baseline and then start reacting normally

We tend to avoid labeling ourselves as addicts. Why? Who you currently are is an addict. But there is a strong difference between the way that you view yourself, and the way that you SHOULD view yourself. You aren't addicted to porn. You're addicted to DOPAMINE. Why? Because you DON'T HAVE ANY. Let the light of the sun help repair your fried reward system. This isn't some woo woo bullshit, it's our biology.

Get the FUCK outside See the morning sunlight See the Mid-Day sun See the sunset TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF AT NIGHT! This will genuinely be the strongest tool for you to carve yourself out of this fucking hole with. Take it and run with it.
