I have an indecision problem, took l tyrosine and felt better but want natural altern

..atives.

I had some shit go on in my life recently which made me want to move house. I was paralyzed by indecision of what to do.

I was shitting myself thinking should I go shouldnt I go. I decided a cpl weeks ago I would go and had been going to another city every week once or more to check it out scoping the place etc.

In the back of my mind I started shitting myself again worrying I'd made the wrong decision so last night decided I'd try staying in my current city and see how things work out with another 6 month contract and then decide. So I felt alot better once I decided that last night. Ended up signing a contract today but a few minutes after Id left the estate agents I started shitting myself again thinking Id made the wrong decision. So either option I ended up feeling equal dread.

This is a horrible feeling, seems like some kind of mental disorder where any move I make feels wrong.

Anyhow I recalled how crystal clear and decisive I've been in the past when Ive been on dopammine blasting drugs. Now I also know that taking these made me feel tons worse when I had a dopa crash. Id been considering another dose recently but remembering how much worse they make me when I crash I am going to put that off. My desire for them indicates that I have to sort out the underlying issue.

So last night I decided to try taking l tyrosine. Immediately I felt calmer and more decisive like whatever option I chose its ok cos it will allow me to choose better in the future. This is a better option than the wild ups and downs of stimulants however I want to do it naturally so the results are more lasting.

Once it wore off after a cpl hours I started to shit myself again. So now I have been taking them every cpl of hours and as they wear off I feel scared again.

Ive been reading up how dopamine will actually be downregulated if I keep taking them so that would fuck me up again no?...you see my thought patterns are the same with this scared to do anything.

I've been making an effort to do exercise and I've been going for runs a few times a week which seems to help a bit but so far not as much as taking l tyrosine. Maybe Ill try upping the intensity of my runs and do more weights etc. perhaps become a fitness freak- I used to be a bit doing exercise two hours a day so will try it out again.

What else can I do which doesnt have a potential clawback as would be the case with taking drugs? Obviously lifestyle changes in long terms but when in the meantime I have to have small immediate things to keep me on a roll and get my momentum up. Other than excercise I dont see what else is in my immediate control. Suggestions?

suggestions?

Tyrosine is not natural... lolwut? It's one of the 22 amino acids coded for by DNA to synthesis proteins with. It's formed in vivo from phenylalanine, and is common in nearly all food, owing to the fact ALL other life uses the same amino acids to make protein.

Dopamine regulation is far more complexly regulated then to suggest it would vary widely based on such an ubiquitous and major component of your biological makeup.

OP I am thinking that The Dark Side might be a good place for you to go for added support with your problems. I can't add anything to this thread personally, but I wish you all the best.

Well I know that but I meant that relying on supplements rather than getting it naturally form food/activites etc would produce another dependance in my eyes so I thought it better to find ways of creating it 'out of thin air'.

But you are not creating it out of thin air... nor even is it much different in concept. You are eating some that has been isolated, instead of that which is bound into assorted bric-a-brac proteins of food... I'm sure you can find ways to increase dietary intake from "natural" foods too, if that is a suitable alternate.

I actually thought last night that taking supplements acutely when I feeel a bit low -rather than for longer periods- is likely better than eating sweet foods and junkfood which I had started doing recently when I wanted to feel a lil boost. Sweet foods can rot my teeth and junkfood make me fat etc so if its just a case of I want to feel a lil moodlift taking supps I thought might be a better way.

One of the main reasons I didnt like the idea is I didnt want to get 'downregulation' but I guess that wouldnt be an issue if I just take them for like a day or two to give me a nudge out of a dip.
