anxiety

This is a topic I haven't come across during years in nofap. Have you been so excited about a date or a promotion or letting go of some fear, that it led you to release it with porn? I find this to be one of the biggest problems I had during years I was completely lost in porn. Times when I...

Hello warriors, I talk to you because you are elites, you all want to be greater and strive for this and you will achieve this whatever it takes.. So to not steal your time let's know how to deal with depression and anxiety, first we have to know why I mentioned these two, they are two of the...

i am a 34 year old guy experiencing depression, anxiety, and chronic fatigue syndrome. i have not until recently considered my occasional use of porn to be a huge problem, but my research into depression shows that it is closely linked with the brain's reward systems, and quick hits of dopamine...

Anxiety, self-doubt, no love, no popularity. They all get to you ehh, why though? Look, I ain't gon be the positive guy and tell you it'll all come to you if you wait, that's bs. Here's the thing about us all, we see what we want, but we don't work for it. We just want. Ever wondered what...

Hello, while on some days on a NoFap streak I feel wonderful, like high almost. There are some other days where I get anxiety and panic attacks if I don't wank. Is it withdrawal. Just a few minutes ago I relapsed after a 3 day hard streak lol. Beofore that I did NoFap for several periods of 5...

Made it to 40 days which was my longest stint, before relapsing. Now I'm back at day 7 & noticing something a little different about my new journey.. I've been so focused on dating & trying to score that I've come off a bit desperate & eager in my interactions with women. Trying to not think...

Hi folks, I am new to all this NoFap thing, and I have decided to give it a try...things can't get worse than what they already are. I am in my 30s and I've been watching porn and masturbating to it since I was in my 16-17s, basically since I've got access to cable internet...hehe I've been...

Hi everyone, Just returning back to get back on track and without support of people going through same challenges it's hard and mostly embarassing in real life to share. I have taken all steps possible from reading exercising, meditation, CBT, new hobbies, spirituality, but still keep relapsing...

Hey guys, So I used to struggle with both PIED and performance anxiety. I wasn't able to get it up no matter how hard I tried with a few different girls. At one point I wasn't able to get it up to fantasy alone. I made it around 20 days and relapsed and now I am starting over. I don't get...

Hey guys, I'm on day 19 and I'm feeling pretty down. I felt the surge there after the first few days it was awesome. I wanted to talk to every attractive girl I saw and I was having no problem getting hard with girls when I tried to hookup with them. I was pretty horny and life was good but...

So yesterday I saw a movie a friend of mine recommended me. The name of the movie is "Maniac" featuring Elijah Wood and it's about a troubled man that goes on a killing spree. My friend told me "I was seeing the movie and I thought about you". She knows about my social anxiety, not my porn...

I feel like this has been a long time coming but I'm finally going to try and reboot. I have been PMO'ing everyday since probably 7th grade and I am now almost 22. I am just now starting to get over my HOCD struggles which haan't exactly helped this process by any means but has been my main...

Been thinking about this for a while, and reading up on it. Finally decided I'm going to give it a try (30 days to start), i think i have always been using porn and masturbation to get away from depression, loneliness and relationships and it has taken a toll on my life. Though I'm not sure...

Hi everyone this is my first time using NoFap. However this is not the first time I tried to not masturbate. I'm currently 12 days NoFap and want to keep that up however I'm starting to feel weird. I feel my heartbeat. I went to the doctors recently and he told me it was anxiety should I expect this...

I have been trying to reboot again and again but I can't seem to even get past 2 days. I think the longest I have went without PMOing in the last few years has been one week. I been a consistent PMOer since 2010 and know a lot of models/pornstars by name. I even had a gf for a year and half and...

Hi guys, I'm a pervert. No doubt about it. I know a lot of Instagram models and pornstars names than I definitely should. I have been a constant fapper since 2010. I have more of a fapping problem than a porn problem. I'm sure it's basically the same thing. I even set a New Years resolution to...

Currently on day 12 Yet I'm still having anxiety My questions are How do i stop my anxiety? fear of what people are saying/thinking about me? Is there really light at the end of this tunnel?

a girl I have been talking to for 5 months and I met last night at her place for a New Years get together. She's been very reserved in terms of sex, but she was open to having sex that night. I had an erection while we made out, We went upstairs to her room. While I was peroforming oral on her...

Hi guys, i just wanted to share with you my experience and were i am in life now, just to show you what porn did to me. telling you my story wont be easy but i swear to tell all the truth since this is anonymous. i will go straight to the point, i'm 20 years old, living in my parents house, i...

Hello, this is my first post here. I usually just skim through NoFap and /r nofap to grab information and read through success stories. But this time, I actually came to share my progress with those that might need it. First let me introduce very briefly about who I am: 1. College Student...

Hya! I'm a 20 year old guy and I've been fapping since the age of 12. I found out I had a problem two and a half years ago, when I met my current girlfriend. I found out because I couldn't enjoy sex at all. Mentally and physically. I had major erectile dysfunction and almost didn't feel a...

I´m having trouble to sleep, I have to fight a war before sleeping, I think the only reason I didn´t relapsed today was because I was to tired to do it. Today the abstinence makes me feel like I was seek, I feel like I want to cry, I´m not extremely desperate but I do feel unconfortable. Today...

Withdrawal and finding a healthy, balanced lifestyle My NoFap period over, I masturbated once 5 days ago and then 3 days ago. I have restarted. Today is day 3. Has anyone ever experienced any withdrawal symptoms during a NoFap period? Is withdrawal a phase that someone needs to go through in...

There a lot of info that talks about the damaging effects of porn....but whats been your biggest issue related to P addiction?

This is the post I never thought I’d be able to make. As of 21st November 2016 I have now been completely clear of pmo, fapping, edging and all the rest for 365 days. As you can imagine this feels pretty good. This post is to tell a bit of the story in the hope that it might be of help to...

Hello. I'm Brandon. A few months ago I was in a relationship with a woman who changed my life. Her and I were together for nearly 3 years, in which time I had stopped using pornography for 1 1/2 years. It became a part of my morality to stay away from porn and masturbating, and I knew that what...

It is more than just porn addiction, it is addiction in general. addiction to our phones, drugs, reddit, social media.. When we indulge in these addictions we are only masking our true fears to ourselves. These are where anxiety problems make their way into our lives just like myself. I have...

Well I have heard of this movement for a while and have attempted this about a year ago, but my porn viewing was not overly excessive. For a couple of months now though I have had issues with getting an erection and even when I do get one it is only semi-solid at best...I also have had lack of...

Hello fellow frequent fappers (and former fappers). First of all, I just wanted to say thank you guys for being an awesome community. I've been browsing these forums and the subreddit for a while now, and I've discovered a wealth of helpful information and genuine encouragement. Hard to come buy...

Hello fellow porn addicts, lol. I am new to talking about my feelings and what not and considered making an account on a forum to see how it goes and here I am. Ever since I was around 12 years old one of my cousins got me into watching porn. We would do it together and it started to become a...

Hello Everyone, I am currently at 47th day of my streak. After my first flatline, which ended up with a porn dream. My life was going smooth. I noticed that my posture has improved and girls are looking at me for no reason. I became more sociable. Also I become less anxious. Basically I started...

Hello everyone, i'm a 19 year old college student, diagnosed bipolar 1 and the last two years of my life have been hell for the most part. I'm sure all of you understand how hard it is to recover from the wounds long-term porn use can give you so i'm looking for some real support. I feel very...

Hello Nofapians I have been contemplating my relationship and my over use of pornography for quite some time, and what effect it has on us as a team. I know it isn't a problem in my relationship, because my girlfriend caught me self-abusing in bed while watching porn on my phone. I tried to...
