Make the smallest, most simple game you can fathom using tools that represent the smallest learning curve. Once you've made that, you will no longer be a Nodev with zero experience. You won't be a master of game dev, but you can answer the question "Have you ever, like, made a game?" With an honest yes. You will also have one experience making a game. If you want to learn an engine/framework, port that game over.

That's how psychological help works in Amarica. Not in civilized world. Read self help books. 12 rules for life: an antidote to chaos is a good book. At least i helped me.

Finish your work even if it bores you out of the fucking skull. Even if you think your current work holds you back and you have a much better idea now, finish your project and be done with it before starting anything new.

Set a regular time when you work on your project and push against the felling of "I dont wanna" by forcing yourself to work. Ignore how fast your progress is, just progress. Despite that take regular breaks after 1-2 hours.

Take care of your body, stick to your daily personal hygiene. Also be physical active, your body was made to wrestle with nature and if you not satisfy its need to move you will naturally be restless, with just adds to your mental blockade.

Doesn't matter if you make sport or just go outside and walk around for an hour, just really move your body for longer periods at least for an hour once a day.

Keep your house and workplace clean and in order. Also set a regular time for that.

And I have no idea from which country you are, but mine has work safety regulations for working with a computer to prevent long-term illnesses. These might be useful to follow in private.

Actually have an understanding and knowledge about the software and tools you are using, if you don't have them learn from the people who have used them to finish a game similar to what you want to make and learn by directly copying their work as your training.

Make an investment into your project, get the hardware and software you really need. Outsource stuff you can't do yourself.

Introduce little rituals to help you relax during your short breaks, be it how you make your tea, if you start with origami or eat a small fresh plate of vegetables. Avoid eating too much sugar and taking drugs.

Drink enough and watch what you eat and eat regulated, your body has to work to digest stuff and so your food intake has influence of on your work morality. Listen to your stomach, not your tongue and gullet.

tl;dr the majority of mental blockades that stop you from finishing your projects are down to physical needs you body wants to have taken care of, the few psychological ones left can be taken care of by adjusting your behavior.

Find a new fucking hobby. You could be actually helping out the world but you are just making autistic time wasters.

Honestly stop doing it. Everytime I did it I would totally lose my ability to program and dev for 1 week before recovering. This is because jacking off destroys your dopamine receptors, therefore no motivation and feeling miserable.

I disagree with the idea of going cold-turkey. A better idea, which is working quite well for me so far, is to use jerking off as a reward for completing enough work in each day. This change in behaviour is easier to make than just quitting full-stop and it even makes masturbation feel more rewarding.

So then release it on itch.io or something, and then get some sales / required donations, and when you have a few thousand, tune up your game again, and announce a Steam remaster for money.
