I joined nofap recently and before that i was way too addicted to mastrubating (twice every day) but it has been 4 days i have not mastrubated although i still get urge to do that but iam dedicated to be PMO Free for 90 days. Mastrubation was my only weapon of choice to overcome depression or feeling of being rejected . But now iam trying to find new passion but failing this has left me with depression . I also think way too much about people around me .I always feel iam living life to make them happy by sacrificing my own happiness. Anyone here got any suggestion here . Any input is welcome.
Trying to make everyone happy is going to lead you to a life of stress then a life of sickness and death. It's that simple.
Hey man ….. hope you are keeping well… Just after reading your post and it think it’s amazing that you are so aware of how you are acting around people. There are a lot of people who are depressed, have addictions but don’t have that self-awareness.. You should be proud that you have that self-awareness. In terms of dealing with depression or feeling rejected, life can have amazing moments but on the flip side it is guaranteed to have some shitty moments as well…. I personally also struggled to deal with this and when you don’t that’s when PMO becomes so Appling… There is lots of stuff online or books about learning to deal with and sit with tough emotions… Id recommended reading some … And when you talk about finding a new passion on life , I know for me that when PMO hand a hold over me I avoided life and new experiences…. Anything new was scary, what if people didn’t like me , what if they thought I was a dick , what if it’s hard , it will be uncomfortable ….. fuck that I’m just going to stay in and watch P…. It has help me to push myself out of my comfort zone …. Try some thing new , exercise , join a class/gym , learn to play an instrument …. There must be something you have wanted to try but always but it off …. Push yourself …. Anyway, hope some of this helps and you are still fighting the good fight against P
