I don't know how many times I've read but when we feel alive...its vary crude awnser but usally dopamine is envolved, when we have a successful way to make money...when we eat fav food and enjoy it, maybe some of us even enjoy wine and beer....its all directed toward the pleasure systems in our brain...if we had no dopamine release...we would not love the things that we do for pleasure. There's alot more indepth info on this...this is just a tiny view....but I've realized that I have lost my ability to expierience life and pleasure...nothing makes me feel like im alive unless I use methamphetamine, cocaine occastionally....but theirs got to be a reason why this happening...I can't just rely on substances to let me feel normal...there got to be some other way to fix this without medication. I know the first thought is ECT..wouldnt mind it, but its the last resort. Like i've thought about changing my belief and thought structures to diffrent aspects to see reality diffrent.
I'm awnsering my own post, but im asking who ever reads this...i feel trapped in this grey thinking of numb to get away from radiating pain of failure.
anyone?
