21 years old , I wish to be born anew

    Its not my first time on nofap.I have been a porn and masturbation addict for the last 12 years . Porn has stolen the best years of my life it is threatening to destroy all my new attempts of constructing a good future for myself.

    My introduction to porn started with cartoon like sex game way back when I was 10.I had always been an introvert PM hit me real hard.PM never had much of influence in my early years It was just something I took for granted It came back to bite me hard. Long story short It ruined my chances for entering a good uni for my bachelors (I was M'ing 4 times a day) , made me attempt suicide 4 times drove me to hate myself and also lead me to brand myself with a kitchen utensil.

    I am chronically feeling suicidal and the only reason I haven't committed the deed is because I wish to recompense my parents for all they spent on me over the years.To be honest,I truly feel utterly hopeless about my situation.But I don't want to admit complete defeat at the hand of my urges.I want to give one last attempt at building my life anew.My journey till has been too painful I don't wish for it to prolong any longer.
    I wish to be born anew.I will one way or another

    Hi!

    Great that you have signed up to the forums. You are having a real hard time now, but I promise life will get better and more enjoyable as your progress. This forum is full of information and support to overcome your addiction a bit easier.

    Since you are depressed and even suicidal, you may seek help from a therapist. It certainly won't hurt.

    Best of luck. I believe in you.

    I edged and caved in now have reset my counter again. The lockdown is not helping me. I was a little too emotional when I wrote that post earlier I really was feeling too down to muster any proper thoughts. But yeah, I am serious about getting rid of addiction this time. Porn is really messing up my opportunities in building healthy relationships. I guess the most important help one can get while combatting addictions is that there is a whole community out there who have been through what you have and will not judge you in any manner.

  7. Hey, welcome to the NoFap community : )

    It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Allow me to go ahead and drop some helpful links for you:
    Getting Started Guide / Forum Rules / How to Use the NoFap forums/ Glossary/ NoFap Panic button / Set up your day counter / Rebooting Resources/ Accountability groups (new!) / About NoFap/ Support NoFap

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a careful look at each section in the forum, there may be something(s) you will find to be of big help to you.
    Secondly I advise you to be active on your profile(as there a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then begin posting frequent status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement.
    The forum has got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see.
    People will find your profile and give you support.
    There’s a portion of people who love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive conversations. It would be great to have you join in and become part of the team!
    We support one another in the threads, profile posts, and journals/reboot logs.
    Once you receive some support, please be sure and be grateful to the member for the help/support you received and consider giving some in return to anyone you wish.

  8. Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you are struggling. Rebooting has its ups and downs, just like life. We see many people experiencing both the ups and downs during the reboot, and though it may be hard to see now, these feelings you are having won’t last forever. It will get better with time, if you are 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 their to put our lives in perspective. So please contact someone who can help and don’t hang up on them. The International Association for Suicide Prevention maintains a list of suicide prevention hotlines for countries all over the world. Also, if you don’t feel up to actually talking to someone on the phone, StopSuicide maintains a list of online instant messaging and chat suicide prevention resources.

    You are not alone in this. There are ways to treat depression. Please contact people that can help you. Being depressed often makes it feel like you don’t have any more 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 we will all be cheering for you to get through this!

    Thanks for the replies man I deeply appreciate it.You are speaking true it was my depression talking the other day.I feel much better now thanks for your concern. It was just loneliness and fapping that got me that depressed.I am over the suicide thing for now I have started formulating goals that I wish to achieve and they keep me busy enough to not let my mind wander to any of the other more depressing stuffs.

    Hi, welcome to the community

    I would recommend you to stay in touch with members and read their success stories. You may also learn tricks to avoid the short-term pleasure and to face the temptations.

    Be AWARE of your habits and control what you see and what/who you spend your time with.

    It's also important to limit the usage of social media. In addition, never be free! Use your free time as much as possible and do sports, exercise, attend classes, etc.


    This video contains everything that you need to know about porn addiction. Lastly, here is a collection of ways to deal with the urges which worked great for me.

    ֍ You got this my friend ֍

    True man but Its not as if we can give up on ourselves now.Porn or no porn we are guilty ourselves for succumbing to them.In fact It feels like shit that we have somehow allowed our fellow humans to turn to selling their bodies for a living.Lack of ethics is allowing worse in us to promulgate like never before.

    Hey Anava :)
    I really do think, that there are so many people out there, who really want to help you. You just need to admit that you need help and let other help you. I struggle with that too often and really wish that you in your situation get the best help that you need. So tell others and more people, that you trust, maybe one of your friends or other people, about your situation.

    I really do encourage you to read through the Porn Addiction 101 and the Rebooting 101. Then you can read through a simple guide on how to use the NoFap-Site. Just read through the forums and start your rebooting journal ;). I am new here too, btw :D

    If you need any support, feel free to ask :)
