    Hi there! I'm Vince, from Europe. I got familiar with the concept of NoFap via the tedx talk on the effest of porn. For some years I have been a (heavy) user of porn myself. For the last couple of months the use isn't any close - and I'm proud of that - to what it was, however I still face some social anxiety, concentration and sleep problems. More recently I have been affirmed in having a depression/depressive feelings, and from what I read this all could well be the aftermath of my heavy porn use. I thinking on taking antidepressant meds, but perhaps this may leave the roots of my depression untouched, and I don't want to mess up my body. Perhaps any of you have an opinion on what's best to do?

    I think I have what it takes - sportive, eat healthy - to overcome this, but perhaps my occassional (emotional/pleasure) dependency on porns still keeps old circuits running.

    I'm looking for support here, and an accountability partner and so want to give completely NoFap a chance and see what it are its effects on me.

    Hi Vince :) Welcome to the community!

    It seems like you've got a good focus at the moment, those things in your life that you enjoy, that you have a passion for, use them as reasons to stay strong and think about them when times get tough :)
