    Hi,
    about 4 months ago i made a post about having a serious breakdown, i'm doing better now, i was in a bad spot, very bad, i'm still digging my way out.
    I started thinking about doing nofap again because i'm looking for a good way to improve self confidence and self awareness.
    I've been noticing myself stumbling my words often, and mumbling, it's due to stress, pressure, and it feels lame, i hate it, it happens often, i want to become self confident, not to care what others think, stop overthinking, and starting to dare more, enjoying the little moments in life.
    I am currently stuck in my head most of the time, overthinking and reminiscing.
    I had a 104 day streak of nofap about half a year ago, i remember good days and bad days, i remember i had trouble sleeping due to pent up energy, even to this day, not doing nofap as of now i feel very spring-like and energetic, yet tired all the time, it's very weird.
    i remember at the peak of my streak i was less tired than usual.
    im always tired, and can't sleep enough, i don't understand why, falling asleep can take me as little as 20 minutes and as much as 1-1.5 hours, and thats when i'm tired!
    I guess it's because my mind is an autobahn of thoughts :p.
    my masturbating habits these are days are fairly moderate, i don't watch porn anymore, it's been at least 4-5 months since i have, not not feeling real urges to watch it, i'm making due with photos, i do it once every 2-4 days on average, and stopped beating myself after relapsing, the beating up causes more harm than the relapse itself...
    the thing that makes me hesitate coming back to nofap is remembering the constant daily struggle, the high energy that never seem to go away, the trouble falling asleep, and the last couple of week of my streak, peaking at day 104, yet still not feeling the crazy superpowers everyone is talking about, sharing in their success stories.
    Clearly, the most important thing to me right now is improving my mentality and being more positive, outgoing, and productive, but a big drive of me is success with women, i'm 23 years old and never had any sexual experience, not even a kiss, and i want to enjoy it, try out, getting it out of my system, even if sex is overrated, not having it by the age of 23 is starting to make you think about when will it happen, still, first importance is my mentality and happiness

    Hi,
    Well done for the 104 days streak ! Yes the goal is not to do the longest streak but fall in love with having a healthy life, Rebooting must be done in mind and body and is just the start for changing or I must say being yourself :)

    hi man
    To make it short, since I started NoFap well over five years ago, although I have relapsed, I have experienced clear benefits. Let's leave the superpowers aside, I'm writing about them in my journal.
    Benefits:
    Salary increase at work. I finished my degree and now I can work doing what I like. I met a couple and we live together in a decent house. My advice is to play sports and take care of yourself. Take care of your health and your appearance, although many people say that it is not important, in general all of us pay attention to it. And take it easy, the universe is gradually balancing your business in their place. Surely it was many years of self-inflicted damage.

    I feel like every time i relapse, the upcoming days are more tired and grumpier, i don't know if it's actually because masturbating causes this, or might it be because i have mentally antagonized masturbating
