Any ideas on how to defeat

For me it was the decision to only live on my own terms.
Sounds cheap like "follow your heart" or some shit but it's like that.
The moment u say fuck expectations and do what u like u will improve i this direction. Gives a sense if identity and purpose. More important it gives you the feeling to be in control of your own life even the decisions to make are bad.
Also a big point is self-care. People underestimate the effect of a nice haircut and a pair of nice clothes, getting a little in shape on your self esteem.

ps: big effect for me: get away from social media/youtube. don't know the science but this much shortterm stimulation (peak dopamine all the time i guess?) made me unable to fell joy for normal things. without social media/ youtube food suddenly tastes more intens, music sounds better etc. live gets its colours back.
