This is the only way

Hello and welcome. You’re in the right place.

You can get an Accountability Partner to check in with on a regular basis. You can always come to NF and post on any of the forums that you want to. There’s always someone around who’ll understand what you’re going through. You’re definitely not alone. This site wouldn’t exist if there weren’t many people like you. Many have succeeded in their goals even if it took a long time.

I’d you feel like hurting yourself please come to the forums and post what you’re going through and how you’re feeling or call someone you can talk to or call 911 if you’re in the US so that you can get help.

I’ve had to call 911 when I couldn’t get the thought of hurting myself out of my mind. The hospital put me on meds and helped me find a therapist who’s wonderful. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m feeling so much better now.

There is hope. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. There are people who care about you. Many people on NF can relate to what you’re going through and want to help. That’s why we’re all here: we want to get better and we want to help each other.

You’ve come to the right place.

 

The moments when I realized I can’t do it on my own were the most effective ones in my life. When I cried for help deep inside (other people call it to pray) help came instantly in a magic way.
Your moment of realization indicates you are on the right way.

Very good and serious commitment. The NO PM or NO PMO journey is not easy but worth the effort.
The community will support you.

I consider it as part of your learning process. You made the habit and you can break the habit. If you get rid of addiction no time was wasted, you are just growing.

Self-esteem and self-respect will come back very soon. You are a wonderful person. There is a divine spark inside of you.

Good luck with your therapist. Unfortunately there are not too many real good therapists. Some of my friends are active as psychotherapists. They told me they would have a problem to go to a therapist if they had to do it. I wish you to find a person you feel trustworthy.

Forget about suicide. Suicide never is a solution. In younger age I was in the hell of depression and suicidal thoughts for long time. Since many years I feel a lot of gratitude and appreciation for being alive, was a moderator in a German suicide forum for 3 years. It’s wonderful to encourage and inspire people who need encouragement and hope. That’s my kind advice for your journey: if the urges are becoming really strong - go to the Nofap forums and encourage other fapstronauts. Works really good.

 

I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. Rebooting has its ups and downs, just like life. We see many people experiencing ups and downs during reboot, and though it may be hard to see now, these feelings won’t last forever. It will get better with time if you’re patient and wait.

In the meantime please seek professional help. I know the idea of calling a helpline might terrify you, but in times of crisis we often need someone there to put our life into perspective. So please contact someone that can help and don’t hang up on them.

You are not alone in this. There are ways to treat depression. Please contact people that can help you. Being depressed often makes you feel like you don’t have anymore options. But that is a lie. That is just the depression talking. These feelings you have won’t last forever. We are in this with you and will be cheering for you to get through this!

 

Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

Here is just some advice:

First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal, we could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!

 

With wisdom like that, you are going to make it. You can motivate. Score 9/10 for giving me motivation just now! At this moment, a lot of us are standing in the light together, and your promise is hereby acknowledged...lol

 

All right, you're on. I've also set a goal (in my status) of going for the 90 days, hard mode. Hold me to it. Our victory dates are within a couple of days of each other. When we reach 30 days we have the right to post in Success Stories. I wanna see your post there when you reach it, ok?
