Hazel's right. Exercise is a guaranteed dopamine booster. Through my job search I've been rejected more times than I can count and the only thing that kept me sane was lifting and doing my Muay Thai.

You might have depression. See a psych and hit the gym hard, eat right, and get sunlight. Take 5000 IU D3 / day.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
