[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go explore. It will give you a dopamine boost like you get from travel. Maybe not as much, but it will help. You can do this small scale or big. Small: go to an ethnic grocery store and marvel at unfamiliar products, try something you’ve never tasted; go to an offbeat museum (ex, National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, Sackler Gallery); go treasure hunting at a big flea market or antique mall; buy a ticket for a band you only know casually or an opera you’ve never heard of. Bigger: within a few hours drive, you can go to historic towns, the beach, Audubon Nature Reserve. You can day trips by train to  Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc, get cheap tickets and go on a self guided walking tour and you won’t even spend much. Or treat yourself! The point is to stimulate your brain by seeing new things. Simply getting out will make you feel loads better.  Heck, even wandering IKEA makes me feel better.

Don’t let yourself get stuck in this rut. I did and I lost three years of my life. I regret not pulling myself out sooner. [b]Commit yourself by making plans with a friend or buying tickets in advance. [/b][/quote]

This. Feeling similar these days and bought concert tickets for myself (even if I have to go solo) to have something to look forward to. [/quote]
