Trying to add in extra mind-numbing aspects might help: noise through speakers, or using a treadmill while using the computer.

Using a pomodoro approach instead as exposure therapy might help, start in a safe range, X minutes of computer, YY minutes away from computer, slowly add to X when you can (and remember, if you need to reduce X, that's okay too, not a bad thing at all)

If you feel somewhat overwhelmed too, switching back to a text console might be an option, la installing Debian on a separate drive or the such without any graphics.

I'd note that a body being in ketosis is not its ideal state. If it works for you, then ignore this. But it can be something to look into moving away from as things steady out / to help things steady out.

I don't know anything though, so don't take these suggestions too seriously. Best of luck.




The pomodoro approach seems like a step in the right direction. I'll try it out for sure! I'm also considering moving to a low carb approach instead of keto. Only reason i stayed in ketosis for so long is it's actually quite pleasant and from what i can tell from studies it increases GABA in the brain which is a godsend when you're struggling emotionally. Thanks for the suggestions fellow human.
