What ruined you?

Excellent topic! For me it was by body falling apart one body part at a time. My mental state ain't great, but as long as I had a healthy body I could get by.

Looking back I see three things that messed up my mind:

- masturbation/pornography
- coffee
- fiction (mostly film, some novels)

These three things gave me dopamine detached from achievement. I was tough once, disciplined, ambitious. Around college age I started to live more and more in my head until I lost the plot entirely. If I had a time machine I would be much more careful about these.

People with more serious problems, homelessness, deaths in the family, etc., feel free to laugh at me.

i share most of the same issues you have, except for coffee. alongside porn addiction and fiction, i was quite agoraphopic from about age 11 up until recently (still somewhat struggle with it but its better than it was before), and lockdown only made it worse

that last sentence is pretty relatable though, sometimes i feel as if i shouldn't feel a certain way because someone else has it worse

A big failure in life that led to financial instability and that made me suicidal.
