    I am on day 63 of nofap. I am 16 years old. I am very artistic. I love creating and experimenting with new ideas. My dream was to become a fashion designer. But lately i've been feeling very unmotivated, uninspired, lethargic, and irritable. My hobbies no longer interest me and i've become socially withdrawn. I also used to love researching and reading articles but now i can't focus on anything. Life right now just seems so boring and grey. Whag is going on with me?? I wanted to know will i ever get my artistic, spontaneous, and humorous self back ever again?
     
  2. Hi Peculiarfapper. It is very discouraging when you are doing well on the one hand (2 months clean), but feel crap on the other hand. Please be assured that this is temporary. You are clearly still in the 'flatline' (see The Glossary above). This is a good sign because it means that your brain is recalibrating itself and is healing. But rather like a rubbish tasting medicine, you will have to put up with the unpleasantness before you are completely rebooted and free from this nasty addiction.

    Hey man, it's really tough because your generation is the first generation to have such easy access to high speed internet porn. If the content you watched evolved rapidly to messed up shit it might take a while for your brain chemicals to rebalance. If not, it might have nothing to do with NoFap at all. Teenagers hormones are all over the place as it is anyway. Just ride it out and keep on NoFap.

    First it's completely normal to go through these. Congrats on getting to day 63! Not an easy feat to accomplish! You're almost there, and like everyone before me has said that this is temporary, and part of the healing process. Kinda like most rehab, it sucks before it gets good.

    We'll be here with ya ever minute of the way! Stay strong. Stay fapless.

    Depression hit is normal during the process, and it will only last for a couple of days, you can get over it! We are behind you!

    To be honest I am on day 3 and I have a depression hit right now! I don't want to talk to anyone, all my language coordination are pretty much gone, I can't smile, and I can't relax when people are present, it feels like shit, but hey, keep going and you will get out of it! I am sure!

    Stay strong! Beat this addiction!
