    I'm currently on my 34th day. I can see all the benefits that everyone talks about (higher self-confidence, self-control, better socialization, clearest mind, etc).
    BUT, I can't concentrate on my review for my finals, like as soon as I try to focus, my mind goes away and can't think about nothing else but fapping, or watching porn.
    And that's a real torment !
    It's like there is so much pressure, that the only thing I want is to release it ! Every night I'm hoping to have a wet dream in order to release the pressure. And I'm actually sexualizing every person I see.
    What can I do ? I really need to review my classes.
    If you have tips or something I'd be glad to have some help !

    I can relate to that, I also try to fap under intense pressure, but if you're new to nofap you won't realise that it's not you who wants to release the pressure, it's the habit that's trying to take over, it's years of porn and sex that you can't get over with.
    The best thing you can do is replace sexual thoughts at the some instant by some motivation or mathematical calculation in mind, you can yourself discover some ways that turns off all stimulation, and utilises much more brain power.
    The other sure shot way would be to stop using all internet for a long time.

    And if all of this doesn't work I'd recommend you to change your diet, make it as bland as you can, be a vegan and don't ever eat stale food, onion, garlic and dairy that'll put everything to rest according to Brahmacharya.

    Because, the funny thing is I know now that I can't PMO once more in my life and I won't, so my brain knows that too, and I think that's why it's a torture !
    Thanks for your answer !

  4. I have been in this position many times before. I don't really have the ultimate solution but from my experience.

    I think you should "accept" those thoughts because they are normal to be there as you are abstaining. The more you try to forget them the more they will appear. So just accept that you will have this type of thoughts during the day and you will notice how they will start to decrease until they completely dissapear by themselves.

    OK thank you. I'll try to do that :)
     
  6. The other thing that may help is calling a friend and just talking about what is going on in your life. I've found that when there is a ton of pressure in my mind, I'm dying for connection/friendship. Even if its just talking about your day or listening to someone else's day. I make it a point to stop my neighbors when I see them to chat and say hi. Also, in the grocery store, I'll chat with the people in line. We need connection as people. We need it but we also have the power to give it. And it doesn't necessarily have to be sexual either.

    Yes you’re right !
    Something I figured out is to think about someone I could help each time I have wrong thoughts. Maybe send a text to a frown or relative, may be I can have a coffee with another, write a note, or buy a gift
    I really hope we’ll all succeed in our struggle !
     
  8. Just focus on fixing one thing at a time- I'm going to guess the concentration thing takes a long time to fix.
