Hello Community, i just want to share my experiences with NoFap of the last 8 Days with you. Let me say that in the last two months i always made it to one week -maximum 10 Days before relapsing and feeling weak, like shit and like a pervert again. In that time periods i always engaged more socially (especially with women) and started to enjoy the little things more. This time i know that i will reach my one month streak without relapsing. BUT, there's something different in terms of my mental health conditions. Right now my mood changes between being extremely angry and absolutely anxious in any social situation. Today i had to quit my leg workout in the gym because i felt like everyone is watching / judging me -never had that before. To make things worse i can't even remember things that happend let's say a minute or 2 ago.. Have you ever experienced something like this while doing nofap before? Or am i just depresed? lol. I also think this gets worse from day to day. I'm really stressed out at work right now, so i guess that could be the problem. If you ever experienced something like this while doing nofap please let me know -and let me know when the anxiety goes away. Sorry for my bad english -i'm german
The forgetting could be depression. I’ve had major major depression for 10 years and I went from a reasonably intelligent kindhearted person. To someone who can literally not remember anything whatsoever. Someone who could literally not try in school at all and get one of the highest marks and winning chess tournaments, to someone who has trouble thinking. I literally can’t remember a minute or two beforehand as well. After extensive research it seems to be caused by long term severe depression. But if your depression hasn’t been long term, it might just be because you are freaking out a bit mentally. And just be suffering from a high level of internalized energy and not being able to unload it how you might usually unload (pmo etc)
That‘s really sad to hear… My father suffers from forgetting everything as well. He is chronically depressed as Long as i can remember. If you talk to him about a specific topic you can talk with him about the same shit after like 5 minutes again because he forgets everything or (that‘s what i believe) won‘t listen. When it‘s about topics that make him angry he remembers every little detail of stuff that happened years ago. Maybe it‘s the same in your case as well. Maybe your thoughts are all over the place that you can‘t concentrate and remember anything. I had these problems in 2018 where i suffered from the only huge depression in my life. I took antidepressants at that time -after i did not take them anymore i could remember anything properly. I never want to take antidepressants again. My mental health is slowly improving. I don‘t have to work till the end of the year because my doctor signed Me ill from too much stess and think that i will join the German Army (Bundeswehr) in new year.
Bro the forgetting shit is literately happening to me. if I am having a conversation my attention goes away instantly + maintaining an eye contact is hard for me.
Did you try to quit social media (especially Instagram and Tiktok)? These evil apps will lower your attention span and self esteem. I did quit instagram three weeks ago (did not use it too much before) and feel like my attention span is getting higher. I even removed my TV from my apartment because i was always watching something on youtube.
Yeah, thats a good point but when you avoid them comepletely your more likely to be insecure around them if you have* to interact with them..
