Although I severely feel a need to binge-watch Lost or The Wire or play through all my old ripped GameCube/PS2 games on my computer, that the addiction to these things has the infamous downward spiral. The more engrossing the world, the easier it is for them to grip and pull you into a whirlpool of oblivion (yes, especially that series).
My problem is the sense of ease it gives me within a rut. It's SO TEMPTING, and the high from my training-starved body's recent session that's making me say this right now will wear off soon, and I'll probably get stuck with it again.

General lack of progress (practically the definition of depression)...encompassing many things such as jealousy, laziness, frivolous fantasizing etc., general childish/stupid choices
A devastating failure-ridden event
masturbation (speaking as a fellow)
loneliness
insulin...personally I feel much better fasting

Suggestions, anyone?

For myself, I wake up relatively late like 9:30 am but I have the most energy the first hour or so after I wake up, often before I eat breakfast.

So, maybe just be attune to when your high energy periods are? And perhaps experiment with moderating the simple carbs.

I suggest you read the thread in the link in my signature and then feel free to pm me with any questions afterwards. You might just learn a thing or ten about yourself and how to diagnose & treat your symptoms.
