    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I am 27 and have been watching porn and masturbating since I was 14. I have been masturbating almost daily and I never had any break bigger than two weeks in the past 13 years. Although every time I masturbated with porn it made me feel depressed and guilty. I recently decided to quit porn and masturbation and made a promise to myself that I will not do it for 90 days. I didn't know about "nofap" at that time. After about ten days I started struggling a bit but stuck to my promise and tried to avoid any thoughts or activities which could lead me to porn. After two weeks my body showed symptoms of unease and I had itchy feelings in lower belly. Now I was a bit of concerned because this feeling constantly disturbed me and I wanted to do the masturbation even more. However I was in control of myself and didn't not do anything silly which could lead to porn. I searched internet to find a solution that might change my attention from masturbation to anything else but hadn't any success. I came across "nofap" on the 24th day of my no masturbation and porn challenge. But I was busy so couldn't read much about the it. On the 27th day at I had a brain fade and I did masturbation with porn. It got me so depressed that I have done it seven times in last two days. I have gone back to the depression big time and now I have no idea how to get out of this. I am posting this stuff here so I might come across who have been through this and maybe someone who can help me regain my strength and

    Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
