    So I was on a 6 day streak, no porn or masturbation. Then on day 5 I had a hands free ejaculation late at night, sort of like a wet dream but I was awake. I said to myself this is natural and there would be no need to relapse the following day. Then it hit me and I could feel the 'chaser effect' and a desperate to orgasm. So I ended up relapsing unfortunately. That same day I went to a party and surprisingly I still had confidence and the benefits of nofap. Normally I would be very social awkward and have anxiety/shyness. After socialising, partying and enjoying myself the next day I had extremely low energy & almost no motivation to do anything. Right now feeling depressed. Is there anything I can do to go back to normal and feel better?

    I plan to begin nofap again tomorrow

    Start a new streak. I tend to lose a few miles off my fastball when I PMO (even once), but it always comes back once I start a new streak.
    If you were drinking alcohol at the party, you will experience a hang over. Remember alcohol is a depressant.

    All you can do is just keep on the same path that got you started on nofap. These things happen and it is unfortunate, but keeping a positive mind and keeping distracted by other activities is the best way to get yourself back up on that horse again. Trust me, after a day or so, you'll have the motivation again. Don't let yourself wallow, that is a surefire way to get back on a destructive path. Cold showers, and outside activities. Surround yourself with people if you can to distract you.
