From Dopamine Dumpster to Dopamine Delight: How I Went From Narcissistic Hell to Actually Feeling Fucking Amazing

By Vikki — survivor, single parent, ex-accountant, dopamine disaster turned dopamine queen.

If you’re reading this, chances are your life has been a shit-show of chaos, narcissistic mind-games, emotional drain, sleepless nights, booze binges, stress snacks, survival mode, or all of the above. Babe… I get it.

I lived in a dopamine dumpster for years — stuck in toxic cycles, drinking to cope, smoking to escape, working myself into burnout, feeling like my body, brain, and bank account were all screaming “HELP” at the same time.

Then one day, I snapped. I thought: I can't live like this another fucking year. And that was the moment everything started shifting.

The Before: My Personal Version of Hell

Let’s paint the picture:

• A narcissistic partner draining my sanity like it was a sport
• A narcissistic mother who trained me to ignore my own needs
• Smoking to shut the world up
• Drinking to numb the noise in my head
• A career I was great at but no longer wanted to die for
• Zero energy. Zero motivation. Zero joy.

I wasn’t living — I was barely functioning.

“When your nervous system has been in survival mode too long, you forget what feeling normal even feels like.”

The Turning Point: One Brutally Honest Question

I asked myself: What if I stopped doing everything that made me feel like shit… for 60 days?

No booze. No toxins. No drama. No narcissists. No chaos I didn’t ask for. No broke mindset. No self-neglect.

And that’s how my **Invest in Yourself: 60-Day Plan** was born.

How to Go From Dopamine Dumpster to Dopamine Delight (My Exact Steps)

1. Remove the Toxic Shit (People + Habits)

Delete, block, unfollow, unsubscribe, disappear — whatever you need to do.

Dopamine Tip: If someone makes you feel anxious, small, guilty, drained, or confused… They’re a dopamine thief. Cut them off.

2. Nourish Your Nervous System Like a Baby Flamingo

Small steps only:

• Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
• Eat one good meal per day
• Add hydration (the real kind, not wine)
• Cut one bad habit each week

3. Detox Your Dopamine

Swap chaos for:

• Sleep
• Sunlight
• Warm baths
• Laughing at stupid memes
• Breathing (wild concept, I know)

4. Give Your Finances a Reality Slap

I’m an accountant, babe. I know what financial freedom feels like — peace.

You don’t need more money. You need:

• Less waste
• Better habits
• Emergency buffers
• Momentum

And yes — I’m releasing Rich Bitches & Bastards soon. Stay tuned.
