Day 23 completed. Had my first ever cold approach today, it was good even though I got rejected haha. But later had an anxiety crisis, I'm beeing needy for affection and want to change that asap. Not ever wanting to watch porn, maybe had a little urge during my anxiety attack (which happened over checking profiles on social media, bad mistake there) but I knew it would just be worse. Besides, porn DOESN'T give you anything, only substracts. With this new mindset it's very easy to stop, just keep going. I only count the days because I have that gut feeling that at 90 days something great will happen... until then, keep working hard!
Day 25 Going pretty well, I suppose. I'm not feeling any need to watch porn and masturbate, I feel a bit horny sometimes but that isn't getting me to think about masturbating. I'm alright for now, Getting over loneliness and depression is a bit easier now. Starting to feel comfortable being alone but sometimes I do feel alone I'm not lying about that. That's all there is to share for now. Keep going everyone.
HELP!!!! 34 days completed. I want to share something with you and need your help. Earlier when I used to masturbate I used to make goals to abstain and was trying to achieve something. But now that I am actually on this path of no pmo, I am getting depressed. Life hasn't been kind and I am still struggling. This time it is about my work. I am simply not putting any effort into my work or study, I am still unemployed, I am still fat, and I am still depressed. I am just not putting the energy into my craft and I used to work in IT. I was terminated this February this year and have been self-employed ever since doing food deliveries and not applying for new jobs. While that pays the bills, my mental status is just not improving. I have 1 or 2 friends who know all about me and they are worried about me. My parents are not happy with how my life is going and they have a lot of expectations but I, on the other hand, am not putting in the work. I used to think that pmo is the cause of my laziness but now that I am practicing nofap, I have come to a realization that nofap is not helping me. Pls guide me and tell me if I am wrong and how I should improve. I am really sad.
Be proud my guy! 34 days beating one of the most prevalent addictions facing our society right now. You have achieved something massively worthwhile and even that shows that you are making big improvements in your life. Why have you stopped making goals for yourself now that you are on this path? Life is definitely hard and I don't want to minimize the problems that you are having, but I would recommend starting with where you are at and making small goals to improve. Even just writing your goals down. Where do you want to be in a month from now? A year? 3 years? When you really sit down and think about it, you can achieve almost anything you want in 10 years or less. You are going to live that long anyways, so might as well set goals and make your dreams a reality. Start applying to IT jobs. Even if its just one a week. Stay strong!
