    Did a 1 month streak after the new year, relapsed, did a 2 week streak, severe binge relapse.

    The first relapse was due to a severe mental health crisis so I don't blame myself for that. The second relapse was due to eating a bunch of junk food and feeling like shit.

    I have ADHD so have low dopamine levels anyway and as you can see even a junk food relapse can bring the whole house of cards crashing down.

    I'm sick of this. Either everything goes really well or one thing goes wrong and I hit rock bottom again.

    The only upside is I did a wider dopamine detox during the month of nofap which means even though I did a big binge, I still have some dopamine receptor unregulation from abstaining from junk food and music etc

    But I'm sick of this shit. Maybe I should just own who I am. An impulsive loser and just give in to watching porn.

    Congrats for coming here
    Yes you could. But that would not make yourself less miserable

    The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It's connection

    The good news we are together in this

    What is your plan?

    My plan is to avoid triggers but I'm not perfect and even the smallest thing ruins everything

    Hi.

    You're in the same boat as me.

    Adhd is not low dopamine that is parkisons.
    Adhd is the dopamine thermometer that fills in quickly. Hence getting bored fast.

    I have it myself.

    Some wise words.

    Find your Ikigai.

    Yes it possible to be free.

    Find inspiration from recovered people.
    Search keywords such as "nofap recovered" for example.

    Dont quit everything

    The approach is wrong. I did the same and failed many times.

    Just get around pmo and punch it away, far away, the same for sugars and fast food.

    Listen to music. Enjoy life and thats it. One thing at a time. Worked wonders for me.

    Nofap restores mental health back to balance. Mental health crisis is debility in the brain. Too much excitement. Leads to depression. Nofap eliminates depression. Restores dopamine. You need to set filters on your phone to fight the addiction and triggers. . And throw your computer out in the bin. Wat phone do you have?

    Filters don't work because I will just remove them anyway

    I have Disability. I discovered it on a nofap streak my parents never saw it at birth . I was sectioned for 17 years ongoing for depression and currently forced into being on medication. Having a disability means a good thing. Means you’re intelligent than the average. I got off meds and reached day 700 on nofap on a single streak. But it took a lot to get there. A lot of fasting and walking and mindfulness. I remained engaged in spiritual activity daily to offset the urges and thoughts. I put in place filters and removed all triggers. That’s 80% of the problem solved. Remove all triggers the rest is willpower

    How did nofap cause you to discover a disability? Do you mind if I ask what it is?

    You have to relapse a few times to understand how to win it. Going Hardmode is the best. Remain in Hardmode state and you will be very successful. You probably won’t relapse for a very long time in Hardmode state. Option in for healthy takeaway like full chicken and grilled food .. cook your food at home. Don’t eat takeaways. Buy a foreman grill for your beef Pattie’s buy an air fryer for your chips buy an electric oven for your whole chicken. Play with your food be creative. You have to get it wrong to get it right. Don’t give up.. those who don’t want heaven give up and run after the world. And all it contains.

    nofap put me on a road to sainthood. I became a recluse and nofap increased the vividness of my dream like states and visions. I asked God several times why do i struggle, he responded and said you have scoliosis and need an MRI scan. which has now been booked in by the physiotherapist. Hopefully they will discover it in the scan as it wasn’t exactly picked up in the X-ray. I also have arthritis and learning difficulties. So i struggle to read and write and process information. Nofap gives you good dreams in certain stages. Dreams are a way of communication with the divine arround us and on the other world. I just wish my parents knew and understood it and not throw me in a hospital every time i kick off.

    Unfortunately yes. But the diagnosis and medication is wrong they’ve got it completely wrong. Pmo caused my breakdown And nofap was the cure 17 years later. Unfortunately I’m still on meds as i had a kickoff with my dad and the police they came and lied out of their backsides to say i am not well. So i was locked up for one year in a mental asylum. Got released last year. My 700 day streak ended in there whilst locked up. Schizophrenia is just a label. They will keep you in there forever if you give in. But like i did I explored on my own and found the answer. Now wherever i go i do tend to avoid ppl because of the meds but off them i am the opposite, and i never tell anyone I’m on state benefits or that i have schizophrenia. I use my own head and just say i went through a difficult time and getting better now

    I don’t drink i don’t smoke i don’t fap it means I’m normal and I can get off the systems books a lot faster.. i now know that by giving into pmo then the system gets on my case and puts me into hospital. Good behaviour and compliance is the only way out. Unfortunately yes we are human Guinea pigs for their medications and mind games but you’re in there for a reason. It was caused by a trigger pmo and led to a breakdown then you’ve got to fight your way back out.
