I refuse to take any medications that change my mental state.
Then I guess just keep sleeping and dealing with the consequences.
Try waking up early, getting exercise, eating well, staying hydrated, and keeping a consistent schedule. Find things to enjoy—new hobbies, friends, or places to go. Avoid alcohol for a while. In a month, you’ll feel like a new person.

I already avoid alcohol, work out, meditate, take cold showers, and still feel this way. Also, I don’t really have any friends.

Maybe that’s the missing piece. Having no social life can really take a toll on mental health.
I’m in the same boat. What time do you go to bed and wake up?

I go to bed around 1 am and wake up around 12:30 pm, then work in the afternoon.

Maybe try setting a consistent morning schedule. Getting some sunlight and fresh air can also help. I’m here if you want to chat or play games sometime!
You seem to be shutting down advice here. Exercise is a great way to build discipline and motivation. Try challenging yourself—mix up your routine with new types of workouts, push yourself, and see if it helps. This stuff really can be life-changing.
What effects are you experiencing from oversleeping?

I feel brain fog, lack of motivation, numbness, and generally no sense of purpose.

Sounds tough. For me, finding a sense of purpose made all the difference. When I felt lost, focusing on my long-term goals and creating a ‘lighthouse’ of direction really helped.
Maybe talking to a therapist could help.
Try putting your alarm across the room so you have to get up to turn it off. It might help start your day and set a routine.
I checked your post history and have a few suggestions. Consider avoiding drugs, limit masturbation, and fill your time with hobbies you enjoy or things that make you feel accomplished.

I only tried mushrooms once to see if it would help me break bad habits.
Get your blood checked for iron deficiency or thyroid issues.
You might just need more iron, vitamin D, or better sleep habits.
Sounds like you’re overwhelmed. Try looking into nutrient deficiencies or finding ways to handle the overwhelm. It can be tough, but small steps might help.
Sleep is essential at your age, so don’t stress too much. Meditation and exercise can help with the emotional part of things.

I wake up multiple times through the night, so I’m not sure if my sleep is actually restful.
