school

As someone who is struggling to save up enough money to go on international travel, looking at job listings is so depressing. Before the 2008 financial crisis started, it used to be that most people only had their high school diplomas, and university degrees were uncommon. Now the opposite is...

I feel the most urges at around 3PM I feel symptoms of neurosis (frustration, headaches, depression, anxiety) upon waking which lasts until 12PM I'm a dolphin sleep chronotype, meaning conversely, that I work the best from 9AM to 5PM The sheer amount of frustration and urges during this time...

Hey guys, I'm preparing for Jee. Are you also doing the same? reply to this thread if you're doing so. Let's make this thread a support group for us. It will help us boost our performance.

There are a few areas which I am insecure about with my life. Part of the reason why is because of PMO that makes me feel as though I am impulsive and that it's a good thing even when I am on a streak. I try to make an identity out of being 'spontaneous' and having multiple interests/ not having...

My addiction is not just to PMO; rather, I am a dopamine addict. As a student, much of my day is spent studying on the computer, but I notice myself watching YouTube nearly all day (gaming videos, compilation videos, TikToks, pranks, etc), simply skipping between videos and chasing dopamine...

So it all started in a driver's ed class at first I was 100 percent sure that she was into me and I was into her like she litteraly looked at me and started at me and then started to wear tight dresses and look back of her seat to make sure I was looking put I still lacked confidence because in...

So after staying at my parents house since March I haven't had much time or privacy to relapse often, which was a good thing. However, I moved into my private dorm this month and unfortunately took advantage of the opportunity to relapse often. I find myself with nothing to do since classes...

Countries like Sweden do offer cheap or free education when you want to learn something new and have a high-paying job like accounting, bank/finance, engineering, marketing, nursing, and psychology so that's good. I wish I live in Sweden and I cannot afford that it's so hard to get out of the...

I had a dream last night that I was searching on my computer for porn and I woke up before anything could happen but it scared me because I have made a lot of progress in new areas of my life all of which I consider to be self improvement. These areas are: ~Exercise (focusing on calisthenics...

Truly nice to meet you all! For me, it all starts with temptations...Even in a non sexual way, I've been giving in to temptation too easily (e.g. sitting & playing games instead of doing school work, waiting till the last second sitting in bed causing me to rush to make the bus, etc.) I want to...

I plan to write about pornography as a social issue for my bachelors degree but i am not sure how well my advisor will take it because it should be a huge issue we are facing and i feel like no one takes that seriously. I study law and administration and i have to deliver a report that describes...

I unfortunately relapsed the other day after a 50+ day streak and, well, today wasn't the best day to be a college student. So I am an animation student at a college in Massachusetts and today we were pitching ideas for our shorts. At first, I was calm, collected and felt alright, no great but...

I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I write this in hope that somebody will take the time to read through all of it and hopefully provide an alternative perspective. There's some incredibly intellectual people on this site, and I appreciate anybody who takes the time to read...

I am an 14 year old teen with (not excessive) masturbation problems. I only masturbate 1 times in a week. It doesn't seem bad but its really making me feel guilty and bad. There should be a way. I don't want to get social with people, I like myself to myself. I have a school which includes a...

Towards the end of my schooling career I felt, for the first time, that I really belonged. I was a House Cpt and a Valedictorian in my graduating year, and although I wasn't particularly popular with students, I was accepted and had strong relationships with my teachers. In my Valedictorian...

So I have decided to begin a new NF streak today. Something about myself: I am a student from Germany and I am going to do my A levels next year in May '20. Generally I am quite good at school but it doesn't really bother me as I believe grades do not tell much about abilities. The next 12...

Assalaamu 'alaikum, everyone. There is something I want to ask your opinion about: What do you think of KPOP? For me, it's hypersexualised due to all the provocative movements and tight or minimal clothing used. In addition, to meet the messed up beauty standards of the public, contracts require...

August 2017, I move to a city to study Bachelors Degree in Law and Administration. Next month, I meet this girl at a gym center and I start to train there regularly. No contact were made. I look at her and she is the sex-bomb in the gym, the only hottest girl there, short and petite. She looks...

When is nofap relatively easier for you, in summers or winters? Summers here are so hot that cold shower is never possible in any time of the day. My first successful streak of 26 days was in winter, fueled with a cold shower or two everyday. I never did a respectable steak thereafter in...

Hi everyone, I am new here. So today is my 7th day of NoFap and I have been doing great the last days. But my problem is that I am in my finals of school, I will write 4 big tests like at the beginning of July. And I am scared that I could get into flatline a few weeks before the tests and in...

Well, I used to live very unpleasant, unmotivated lifestyle for couple of years, so I was desperately want to bring some change on my career, and personal development.. The issues that I had faced: Anxiety OCD Laziness Phone Addiction Binge Watching Insomnia Porn Addiction Unsatisfaction Anger...

Hello everybody, I'm 16, I study a lot and do a lot of gym. To get the time i need to both study and go to the gym, and sometimes hang out with people, i completely sacrificed all the hours (they were a lot) I used to spend on the pc playing games. Now, it would not be an issue but it seems...

I'm new to this forum. I've been trying nofap for the past 2 months and so far I've had a lot of relapses. My first streak was 15 days long and after that I've never been over a week, except my latest streak, which was 9 days long and ended today. I'm in 12th grade and I study a lot, maybe too...

I want to study again. I dropped out years ago (looking back, I was pmo'ing a lot back then. Hmmm) and have kind of missed it ever since. Meeting with a bunch of people every week and discussing interesting things. Getting homework and studying stuff I've never heard about. It's a great way to...

Okay, I don’t know where to start. I’ve been addicted since 12 (now I’m 18) and I’m finally getting closer to quiting with 73 days streak. I’m doing good with nofap at the moment, and I have pretty much no urges at all, but my life feels so bad right now. Final exams of Upper secondary school...

I'm a 14 year-old high school student and I've been addicted to porn since 12! I've always tried to severe my ties with social media, but I keep coming back. Recently, I've been indulging in unorthodox porn; social media images, namely from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Everyday, without...

I have a presentation coming up tomorrow, and I'm extremely nervous about it. I have anxiety, so that's part of the issue, but I also stutter and stammer. I'm giving the presentation with 3 other people tomorrow, but I will still have to read slides. When I present, my hands and voice shake...

Hi everyone, I am a recent college graduate this summer, seeing the real (adult) world effects of porn use. For the past weeks since graduation, I have jerked off consistently at least 4 times a week. I have been fired, and now am slipping into major depression while searching for a new job. It...

Hey guys. As the title says, I'm extremely nervous about going back to school. I'm returning in 6 days and I'll be in 11th grade. I've always been extremely nervous about going back to school after any break, even the weekends. This is because I have an extreme social phobia. I want to go to a...

My longest streak so far was 6 days. I've spent the past week relapsing a couple of times just about every other day. I had a streak of 2 days, but while I was in the bathroom washing my face before bed, I got urges and started edging. I managed to get to sleep without going over the edge, but I...

You had a bad day in school... You came back tired and watch some youtube and BANG! Tits in thumbnails!! You go Incognito, ready to type, the keyboard shows up and what you type is not xvideos, it's nofap. Just goes to show that relapse doesn't really set you to level 1.

Tough Days,Hard Time....Day D which are far away from our expectations..Days which makes us feel a loser. I'm going though tough days and it's been so long.Long as two years and I guess masturbation play a big role to drag me down.Whenever I had a tough day I use to jerk the fuck off and gets...

hiya, I'm quite new to the site so I don't really know my way around but, I'm trying to improve myself and be more confident. Currently, I'm a student and I'm not a virgin, I've had several girlfriends in the past and have had hookups at parties. I met this girl at my new school and she's super...

I have my AP exams next week. I took a practice test today and failed. I'm so disappointed in myself. A few guys were sitting behind me and I heard them saying stuff like "she's retarded" and stuff. I don't think they were talking about me, so I don't know why its upsetting me so much. As soon...

Hello guys Again I have to deal with some anxious thoughts. This time I think a lot about my college and if I can succeed or not. I always try my best to study but actually going to college has been a big issue for me. Previous year (way before NoFap) I had a very specific anxiety which I...

Hey guys, I just graduated high school and somehow I made it this far (and into a nice college) despite my addiction to Porn and Masturbation. Honestly, high school didn't go great for me, my excessive addiction to porn and masturbating didn't let me focus, my memory is shit, and I spent most of...

So I've been thinking about this for a while and talked to a couple of friends about it... Since in my college, I'm a representative of my course and I'm on the student council I thought I could raise the awareness of porn addiction and spread the word about the dangers of porn. But I don't...

So I've been really struggling in school lately and I feel I'm kinda slow in learning. I'm new to the school system in this International School, and they don't use books but they all use laptops and maaan... they all type so fast. I just hope I can catch up. I thought this school was easy...

I have hot Facebook female friend from my school years. Now is been years since school was finished. Should i unfriend them as i do not talk to them and have temptation to looks at they photos. Or just no do anything. ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS?

Aight... um this is wierd yet I know this is an open place... OKAY: I want a GF. Damn that sounded wierd... okay, let me explain why: What is Love? How does it feel? And did I feel it before? (Which I will explain shortly with my past crush) Because in my past relationships I had 'Sexual...

Hey ya'll fellow brothers and sisters, Be warned that this may trigger some of you guys, do not read if you feel that you're about to loose your streak. I have a major concern I am extremely aroused by girls in short shorts/skirts MUCH more than actual porn. (ironic isn't it?) I go to school...

Hello future Doctors, I'm currently a PostBac student hoping to enter medical school by Fall 2018. I want to share some of my thoughts as I continue my journey. I have some questions in the end. The consequence of PMO is all too familiar. Waking up late, constant fatigue, broken communication...

I've figured out that doing any kind of work is absolutely painful for me and I have always sought escape from the pain with pmo or the internet. I didn't learn the value of work as a child. The period before doing work is a trigger, doing work is a trigger, so it's difficult to upkeep a streak...

Hey guys, I'm rather new here. First day with no PMO, actually. Most of my triggers that I'm finding are fairly easy to deal with, but there's one (what I think is a) trigger that I'm having trouble getting a grip on. When I'm walking around my school, I almost instinctively glance at cleavage...

Have any of you experienced mental benefits in terms of your academics and doing well in school / mental focus and the ability to think more clearly? I for one feel like pmo is to be blamed for some of my recent shortcomings, as I often can't find the motivation to do well in school and study...

IT’S been a decade since I left school. It’s often said that it’s ‘the best days of your lives’. Pardon me, but what a crock load of bullshit. I hated school, and I’ve made no secret of that. If there’s any school reunions that I ever get invited to. It's gonna be a thanks, but no thanks if I'm...

I've been doing nofap for 3 and a half weeks, and I've managed to stay away from PMO despite urges and triggers. I decided to start this journey for multiple reasons, one of which was to stop wasting time on PMO and get some work done, I had a school project to do over summer. I did a fair...

((I'm talking about porn, so maybe trigger warning, though I don't give too much detail about the actual video.)) Today I clicked on a porn video. But I'm not counting it as breaking my streak. I paused the video immediately, and kept my eyes glued to the video and not the side ads. A friend...

My story is that I started masturbating when I was around 12 and I started by watching the most sexual videos I could find on youtube because porn was blocked on my wifi. I got addicted really easily and I never stopped. I was doing it at least more than three times a week. As the years went on...
