This is something that’s been pretty difficult to manage. I finish my work/tasks for the day and then I have no idea what to do. I try playing video games like I used to but they provide little to no fun these days. I don’t get out much these days as a result of this condition. Sometimes buying myself something nice gives me that dopamine rush but that’s obviously not a sustainable practice monetarily. Interested to hear how others cope with this. I’m open to trying new hobbies that might be stimulating, as well.

I deal with this pretty well in the summer, not so much in the winter:
(Winter)
- Gym
- Sauna
- Cook yourself a nice breakfast and make French press coffee
(In summer)
Winter+
- Long walks in nature + a nighttime walk
- Bike rides
- Cold showers
- Go to coffee shop and get strong iced coffee as caffeine temporarily makes dopamine receptors more sensitive to circulating dopamine
- Cook or grill a nice meal for dinner

Idk if your into art but maybe some abstract painting?
It’s cathartic and there’s much to learn despite what ppl think about it
