Will NoFap benefit me?

NoFap will 100% benefit u. Honestly I think cutting out P and even M would benefit anyone, even someone who doesnt classify themselves as an "addict". The way internet P (tbh the internet in general, including social media) has molded our brains from a young age just isnt healthy. The human brain was not built for this shit. There are tons of resources here on how to get started but I think u have done some rly important work in identifying how P/M has negatively impacted ur life. Remember those things u want to change and keep reminding urself of them even when things get difficult. Also dig deeper into why u P/M in the first place (for example, are u struggling with depression?) and address those root causes with therapy. I am over a year free now of PM and personally have seen so much benefit, including changes in how I see myself and how much satisfaction I get out of my marriage. U can do this!!

 

Hi dtt1, I think that you exhibit all the classic signs of pa. The anxiety, poor self image and other social problems were with you before the porn, the porn is the salve that you apply to deaden or gloss over those issues. Initially you (we) found solace in porn, but soon only added to our misery. Porn induced shame into your life and from there to endless cycles of refrain and relapse..I hope you will " hang around " for a little while at least. Your shared experiences may help others, as well as yourself..

 

Hey I can relate to your story.i am 25 and just started NoFap. We have a lot of the same problems that porn seems to magnify. I am coming up on twenty days and I have seen some pretty positive results from NoFap. I do have the same problem with eye contact and social anxiety. Just in the last twenty days I have had a boost in confidence and eye contact is so much easier. I don't know the science behind it, maybe its the shame that goes with watching P. I also find myself appreciating women way more then i used to. I highly recommend trying NoFap. Based on what i feel after 20 days gives me the drive to keep going.

 

You know, I have noticed this is a trend within the NoFap community and in online improvement circles in general, I even dealt with it myself and a lot of people don't seem to realize what it is or how to deal with it, so I will tell you. If I were to guess, your hormonal levels are likely way below standard, WAIT, before you ask questions, just please humor me and try this.

1. Establish a routine, set a time to always go to bed at and a time to always wake up. I am a student in summertime, so I set that period to be from 2 a.m. to 11 a.m.
2. Only lay in bed during these periods of time, associate laying in bed with sleep.
Extra tip: If you struggle with falling asleep, you'll likely need a sleep aid to 'jumpstart' this sleep cycle, so use melotonin, personally I occasionally use CBD and Cannabis for sleep.

Ok, so these tips were just arbitrary, but I included them because I'm also going to assume you struggle with sleeping and insomnia. Now time for the good stuff.

1. Stop eating bread, sweets, processed junk. Drink solely water, if you want milk, drink coconut milk, if you want soda, drink diet coke. Only make these compromises.
2. Eat Chicken, lean red meat, beans, white rice, dark green vegetables, fruits, et cetera. Include healthy fats too such as a Avocado.
3. Begin a sunbathing routine, wear shorts and a light tee shirt, go outside in your backyard with a chair or your apartment's garage roof and just sit in the sun for 15 minutes, this is the maximum daily safe exposure amount for the general population. I recommend taking off your shirt, so that the sun can really light your whole body. I also recommend wearing a hat and a face cover of some sort, because sun exposure ages the face. Do not wear sunscreen, they block the rays that your body absorbs to turn your cholesterol into vitamin D.
4. Take a 5000 IU Vitamin D3 supplement, three pills a day for a week, then one pill for a month daily.
5. Take a generic multivitamin too, that'll help out slightly.

Bonus Steps
1. Start a physical fitness routine. Your goals should be to be a fit, strong, but not overly lean or fat.

I had similar issues to you in the place but these steps, along with some other tips and lessons I have learned over the years, have helped me deal with depression, low confidence, and much more. This advice in specific was the one that really helped me get over that fatigue I constantly had, no matter how much I slept.

EDIT: Please feel free to ask me any questions.
