The Emergency Room

Hello.

Feeling pretty bad today. If you've seen me around here before, you'd know that I've been at least over a full year without masturbating now. Good times.

I have a lot of problems with anxiety and mild depression, so I started taking some medication to help me out. It kicked in the other day and things were going great.

Problem is, since I've been feeling so good, I've been not as militant about my Nofap practice. The day before yesterday, I accidentally focused too long on a semi-pornographic picture. Felt my powers zap away pretty fuckin' quick, and it felt really shitty. Did a little bit of research about relapses though and figured I'd only be feeling shitty for around a week or so, given all the progress I've made.

It happened again yesterday. Goddammit. I was on the treadmill looking at my phone, and accidentally focused a little too much on a semi-pornographic picture again. This time I felt a real big change. I feel really shitty. I went to bed and the urges were un-fucking-believable. I thought I was done with this. Goddammit!

Just as things were finally starting to get better, I've gone and fucked it up again. How long is this gonna take? I'm seriously hurting here today. I finally get my anxiety issues out of the way and I go and mess this up. I'm scared of everything again. I want to know how long I need to deal with this until I come back to my regular self. This is almost unbearable considering I've been free from it for so long.

Any words of encouragement would be appreciated. I've lost my motivation for nearly everything that I've built up the last year. I don't know what to do.

 

It's normal to feel urges from looking at stuff. Being free from PMO isn't about having no libido when we see attractive women - it's about reconfiguring our minds to view reality properly.

You haven't utterly failed. You can do this - and you are free. You just need to continue acting out your freedom.

 

I think this is a great idea for a thread jimb0. Well done.

Also, do not hesitate to use http://emergency.nofap.org while you are waiting for a response. This could mean the difference between relapse, and recovery.

Seeking help in a time of crisis is not weakness, but strength. Get help.

You are worth it.

 

The emergency link doesnt work.
Good Idea!

 

I know man, I'll get through it.

Everytime I get hit with a relapse or I fall back somehow, I have such a hard time accepting it and moving on. I just mope through it for the first few days and hope to God that it somehow clears up. I guess that's really what I need to get help with, although it still sucks to relapse.

 

Super horny on a Sunday with nothing to do. Help!!

 

Work out, cold shower, watch an action movie, fill up your time, go to this site http://emergency.nofap.org Good luck!

 

I fixed the link, should be working now.

 

Having brain fog and lethargy while attempting to study of a major, major exam! Any tips for that?

 

got it, sorry for posting irrelevant stuff here. was literally freaking out about what to do!

 

help! before i got on this site I read a lot of stuff about massaging privet area's for health benifitits, i used it as an exuse to keep masturbating i think but am not sure, I need some thoughts on this.

 

Had a wet dream today . feeling sad for no reason . all the energy is gone . WD feels much like relapse . urges are much stronger now . it feels like I'm gonna give in . help

 

stay positive!!! don't masturbate and you will be much more confident tomarow
