Why is it hard for me to feel motivated or challenged enough to do work now, even though I used to be able to get my work done?
I feel like I focus too much on my work and might be devoting too much time to it. I can't relax or take a rest on my days off because I feel like I haven't finished what I need to do. How can I manage this?
I've been stuck in a loop where I feel motivated, productive, and happy for a few days, but then I fall into a rut that lasts around 3 to 7 days. During this time, I relapse into my addiction to masturbation and porn, which leaves me feeling terrible. I binge on mindless scrolling, eat unhealthy food, don't exercise, and compare myself to others constantly.
