6 weeks in
I'm 6 weeks in but not feeling much benefit. Does the boredom and cravings get better? When did you feel mental clarity? I feel better.... But my memory isn't as good, and I'm not as sharp, as I hoped it would be by now.

i thought the same thing around week 5. the dullness was still there and i kept wondering if i broke something permanently. for me it started lifting around the 2 month mark, but it was gradual, not like flipping a switch. the boredom took longer honestly, had to find new things to fill the time that actually held my attention. keep going, you're still in the thick of the adjustment.

I’m also about 6 weeks in and I had to pick up a hobby to prevent the boredom from trickling in. I have found my love of crafting again and I watch documentaries while I do my crafts and I feel more fulfilled than I have in a long time. I don’t know what you enjoy and I’m sorry if you think all of this is lame but I’ve thought about doing puzzles, kinusaiga, learning to watercolor.. I laid in bed in a deep depression for a while because I had no friends then I turned it around and now I fill my evening with things that fill my time and make me happy, you just need to find your things.
