self care

In the name of Almighty, the most Beneficent and the most Merciful. Purpose I face the problem of overthinking and mind unrest that stems from my insecurities. I believe when I fail to push myself in terms of my Primary activities which include, Study, health, relation with parents...

First off, this sounds disgusting, but for the next 48 hours, I will not even brush my teeth (the artificial sweeteners in toothpaste spike insulin levels, thus keeping your body from experiencing the true benefits of a fasted state). No water consumption, no food consumption. No vitamins...

Please, be gentle with yourself. You have already been through so much. These are the rules of self care. These rules can improve your self esteem. 1. You pay too much attention to what others think about you. 2. You don’t know your boundaries or you don’t communicate them at the right time...

I have recently stopped posting on NoFap and abstaining from PMO altogether, but that is not my main problem. Unfortunately, I have let my myself go in terms of health and hygiene. Luckily, I have made a few improvements. One of the problems I had previously mentioned is that I do not take good...

I have never really committed to growing out a beard since I am only 18 years old and I do not have hair growing on every part of my face, but I was told that you have to endure an "awkward stage" in order to actually grow it. It has been maybe two weeks since I have shaved, and I have a...

Just a year ago, I was becoming the best man that I could be. Aside from the obvious porn addiction being my only major problem, I was doing wonderfully. I had recently come off of a 60-pound weight loss, began growing out my hair, remarkably improved my hygiene, and focused intensely on my...

Ever since I could remember I was bullied for being obese. At my highest, I weighed 230 pounds at 16 years old. Keep in mind, this is with almost no muscle mass. I was eating fast food every other day of the week. I had a massive gut, tight fitting clothes, and yes... the dreaded man boobs. It...

For the first time in a long time, I've had a week of holiday. While it was a good bit of respite, it got me thinking about self-care. In my mind, not all self-care is created equal. They can be roughly split into 2 categories: Positive Self-Care (anything which contributes to your long-term...

I have been single for about 10 years. My last relationship didn't end well but I don't have any regrets ending it with her. Since then, I have been dating/having sex with different girls. I don't have a big social network of friends like I use to since. My friends grew up by getting married...

Writing this to share some of the positives that have occurred throughout my journey so far, albeit almost a month, I have made large strides in understanding myself and finding meaning in my own life. Here is an entry in my journal from a few days ago, minus some personal details: At the...

Greetings fellow fapstronauts. If I may ask, can anyone share their experience on self isolating for months ? I myself, although my family is still around, is lacking in quality time with them and my friends (except for the real ones) are starting to feel distant from me. How do you deal with...

Hello! I created this thread to collect information and descriptions of experiences about narcissistic or emotionally unstable close people with you had contact. I think it would be useful for all of us because they can affect your personal life and mood.

Anybody here using NoFap to heal from a sexual injury ? Or Trying to heal from not feeling good enough for another ? Or Trying to erase using masterbation as a coping mechanism ? You are not alone

I had seen someone on another thread say something that i had been thinking about for some time. I think what a lot of people do on nofap is they replace an addiction with another. or, they swap p with other things that are a waste of time and just do them more. substance drugs are an example...

Hey, I was wondering if there are some apps or websites you use to develop some skills, become better as an individual, boosts your productivity or health. Like, for me, I love Keep Notes by google for setting reminder, making to-do lists and anything I feel I may forget later. For fitness 7...

Hi guys. I’m going to just do a life dump here. Been performing this exercise independently relatively recently, encourage other people to do the same and build up a narrative for themselves if they haven’t already (mine was fairly weak/blurred until relatively recently). Early childhood was...

My wife is struggling at the moment finding purpose and remembering to do self-care. Her homeopath mentioned that there were lots of menopausal and post-menopausal women feeling the same way and she suggested that my wife say some daily affirmations, several times a day. It reminded us of years...

Hello, everybody. How you doing? What are you up to? I'm a youngin' from Europe (22 years young) and my mother tongue is not English. Here I am, because I wanna talk with you about a lot. IT is already day 26 of semen retention for me. That's it retention, I feel no addiction to porn, even...

So, I have more or less PMOed almost every day for the last 10 years of my life. I'm currently 22, so basically since I discovered porn I haven't stopped consuming it. These are the first 10 days that I haven't consumed it since that time. Towards the end of my PMO career, I really started...

Can I quit chronic porn masturbation addiction without seeking pro help? Can I myself get out from it?

Good day brothers! Below is translated from China's Jiese forums, enjoy! May 5 2016 streak broken on day 86 This time I made a common mistake among brothers. Which is gaming addiction, at the time I was addicted to league of legends. This crippled me for several years. From age 11 to 15, I...

Greeting comrades! I am new to the tribe but I have been aware of NoFap for a year now. My longest streak was 270 days, I remember how energetic and wild I felt but after dealing with multiple rejections recently, it has come to my attention that I am on the brink of relapsing. As a matter of...

I want to say thank you to the nofap community for opening my eyes and mind to more than just being but to the openness off raw emotions that are written with the intent of sharing and hopefully helping others along their own voyage. I have read some amazing stories and some that seem a bit...

Hello, I'm a resident of the mainlands on Earth. Not too much personal info about myself that I want to describe here, sorry about that. The bold point about my main introduction is I'm an intrinsic dominant personality person type (another type is "extrinsic" if u want to Google it). The...

Does anyone have any good resources for self hate? Or do you have a good story that you can send my way about overcoming hating oneself, particularly for not being found worth it by an amazing woman? I've noticed that I fall into a loop of getting overwhelmed with stress (I'm studying for the...

Familiar phrase right? Maybe you've heard of people going through a lot of shit in their day by day life, when everything just seems to get worse everytime until finally they get where they wanted to be. I've heard from people who hit "rock bottom" as in poor, no home, no food, no friends, no...

I apologize for the clickbait title, but I really need to spread this message as far as I can. Let me tell you a little story about myself: I have always been a "what if" kind of guy who hangs on to the past and daydreams about a perfect future. I've repressed my feelings so hard that I always...

I'm doing a pushup challenge for self-improvement that will hopefully later on lead me to do cardio and heart healthy exercises, using the momentum I gain from this challenge. I will start by doing 15 assisted pushups every day for a week, and then the next week 20, and then 25, and then all the...

Hi NoFap Community! My book, Stop Masturbating and Start Living: How to go from fappy to happy and overcome any vice or addiction (ISBN 978-0998734309) is officially out today. I gave my NoFap community a shoutout in the acknowledgements sections since a lot of this book was informed by you...

I'm a sedentary guy, so's the rest of my family. I realized this last week when I visited, and found that most of our time is spent sitting about with various forms of media. Becoming like that as I grow older is a clear possibility, more so for my chosen professional field. (Art) I don't know...

Hey guys, I'm doing really good after my initial relapse on day 2. So far I've gone 7 days no PMO. However I have been edging to pictures (portraits) of this super hot girl, and other fantasies. Anyways, I wanted to know more about edging so I YOUTUBEd it, and low an behold there's a few videos...

you spend so much more time physically with it than an erect one. and if it's the other way around for you, i would highly suggest seeing a doctor about that. despite what porn may tell you, your flaccid penis is normal. it's great. it's healthy. sure, have an erection every so often; that's...
