    Moral equivalent of “just don’t do that”. It isn’t super helpful. The key part of the meme is the third line. The interest or motivation to do the original thing is gone. The reminders become shameful which just starts a spiral of avoidance and executive dysfunction.

      I mean, I was chronically depressed, with major depressive disorder, for years.

      I also had a dopamine problem, I also had 0, negative motivation, nearly all the time, and went through the shame -> avoidance -> executive dysfunction loop.
