Feeling “Bleak”

Day 5

What’s going on guys. I’m going on 5 days strong right now, and… I don’t know. I think it’s probably a symptom of withdrawal or maybe something else, but I just feel like everything is “bleak.” Like, everything feels so numb. Like the world is in Black and White. I’ve tried to cheer myself up today, watch a movie, do some errands to distract myself, but it just won’t leave. Is this normal? Has this happened to other people? Or am I like, actually getting mentally ill?😂

The first days are the hardest. You will feel empty and probably get bored alot. But it means you can see and feel what you suppressed for so long. You are on a good path brother. Stay strong !

Is this that “flatline” I keep hearing while reading about this addiction? How does it work?

Your body’s dopamine baseline is resetting. It’s actually a good sign but feels lousy. Good news is, it doesn’t last. Your body will begin to resume a more typical dopamine baseline and you’ll likely find more fulfillment from things that didn’t previously provide it. You’ll enjoy things more even though right now you’re not enjoying everything. If that makes sense.

That definitely sounds like withdrawal. I’ve been there before, it’s not fun. Try to distract yourself from the numbness by doing something that gets your adrenaline going— work out, go for a run, play an intense game, ANYTHING to redirect your brain.
