    Never a good idea to get into that situation, lol. What about you, do you like the girl ? I for one wouldn't let any of my friends date my sister cause they are not mature enough, and they are all around the ages of 20+

    Shit... Thanks Blue for the input,

    I like her, but after being slightly open about it here, I feel that it's going to get really weird between her brother and I. I guess I am attracted to her. She is really pretty and she is constantly messaging me via text or social network. So the physical attraction and her "obsession" (I guess you could call it) has contributed to me liking her.

    Can you enlighten me more Heisenburg, and the people of NoFap?

    I am not sure I understand Squeaky Soul. why do you feel that it's going to get really weird between you and her brother? He is a friend, his sister fancies you, you are flattered and you fancy her a bit back. Well, it is early days. Just talk about general stuff for a while and see how it goes. Remember, you are getting to know a person not a body! o_O

    If you are attracted to her, not just sexually, then IGY is right, talk about general stuff and see how it goes. What is your friendship like with her brother? If you have a solid friendship, it shouldn't get too weird. Also you mention the word "obsession" be wary it's not infatuation, that can be detrimental

    Well, I broke her heart...

    I am not sure if I would like to date her. Her brother and I are friends, and I don't want to make it awkward. We are also in our late teen years, so it's not not she's my last chance or anything.

    I basically just told her that her brother and I are friends, so to not get attached to me. Ever since her and I have talked more, I have noticed her brother's attitude change towards me. In addition to the set of rules I am following, I must obey the Bro Code. Bro Code Article 1: Bro's before Ho's.

    Anyways, I haven't broken any of my rules. I have slipped away from God a little. I have been staying up late doing homework and practicing skills for an upcoming competition and have been really tired and haven't been doing my normal bed time routine of bible reading and meditation. That's not a good excuse, because there is always time for God.

    Thanks,

    ~Squeaky Soul

    Good job on the 5 days squeaks.

    Dont worry about the girl. I was in a similar situation not long ago, and what I determined that my friendship with my buddy was worth much more than the most likely short fling I would have had with the girl. They will come and go, trust me.

    I look forward to seeing another 5 days on your counter brother. Real manhood awaits you my friend, I promise. Keep it up bud

    YEEAAAAAAAAH BROTHER!

    Thanks None. Yeah... You and I are both good looking guys. That might sound vain (and it probably is), but being attractive means you most always get attention from da ladies. Hahaha, I know right about now I am going to come off sounding like a jerk, so I apologize.

    Plaaaaayaaaaaaa,

    I'm going to be honest with you all. These past few weeks, it's been hard getting out of bed in the morning. If it wasn't for my mother chomping at my butt, I probably would stay there all day and fall into a deep abyss of depression.

    I been depressed. I really miss my friend. I'm sad that he can't be a part of the competition myself and the team are training for without him.

    Last night I listened to a talk done by a preacher/life coach. He was very motivating, and also talked spiritually of what we can do to improve ourselves, and what we can spiritually offer others.

    I got a few minutes with him privately, I talked about how I was depressed about losing my friend. He told me that I have to not only be there to support my friends, but let my friends support me.

    Anyways, I have been keeping up my nightly Bible reading (Have been since February 2014) and my cold showers. I will be honest again, most of these "cold" showers are usually half hot before I switch to cold. I have heard the switching back from hot and cold water is good for circulation.

    Does anyone have any input?

    Thanks,

    ~Squeaky Soul

    Sometimes, it seems that to lose someone you love, hurts more than you can bear. :(

    Squeaky Soul, you are still grieving for your friend that took his life and that is natural.

    It has left a big hole in your life and the shock has understandably exacerbated your depression.

    But, it is better to have deep feelings than to be a 'cold fish'. Nevertheless, it can make you feel very fragile and vulnerable until you recover emotionally.

    The Holy Scriptures contain wonderful comfort for such situations. I recommend that you read the whole of John 11 - it is most uplifting about Jesus' power over death.

    However, I have no input re: cold showers - as I have never had one, haha! :oops:

    So, I, for one, am not going to judge you on this one my friend! :)

    Today was a good day!

    I hung out with friends. We went to the market and talked, laughed, and bought some snacks. I got donuts. I also bought some mozzarella and pastrami so i can make some pizza from scratch.

    I got some really random and out of the blue urges that really didn't make a lot of sense. Just out of no where. I didn't give in to them.

    Squidgy Soul - it seems longer than 2 days since you updated your journal, but I am missing you. Apart from your interesting take on life, I am also concerned because I don't imagine for a moment that all the upset you have had recently has been resolved. You have got back into double figures in respect of your NoFap challenge so that is commendable. I will look out for your next visit to the forum and hope that, meanwhile, you are coping. Take care buddy.

    I hate to disappoint you all, but a few hours into day 9 I relapsed. I was up all night, and it was a few hours before the competition started, I needed to get some shut eye so I PMOed and fell asleep.

    I relapsed again a couple of hours ago.

    I have been feeling very depressed about my friend that passed away less than two months ago. I feel empty. I feel like not doing anything anymore. I feel like sleeping all day.

    It's okay to feel down. and it's okay to relapse though perhaps its not for the best; you have more important things to worry about than one or two little mistakes. message me if you want to talk bud.

    Today I broke rule #1. I felt sad, so I went to my bed room and ate like 9 cookies with a glass of milk. After eating all that crap I relapsed.

    I took a semi cold shower today too. I m kinda pissed off at that girl who's heart I thought I broke. She still in hot pursuit after me. She's also broadcasting everything I say to her over text to her family. Her brother asked me hw my recent camping trip went and I responded, but I wondered how he new, cuz I never told him about it, haha. During the campout, I burned my arm pretty bad. Her MOM approached me last night when we were hanging out and said, "Mi Hijo ("My Son" in Spanish), how's your arm doing?".........................!!!!

    If I wanted your family to know about my life I would tell them. It's no big deal. It's also nothing to worry about. I have PMO to worry about, not some annoying girl, hahaha.

    Grief is a painful and arduous journey. I would like you to consider having a few sessions (perhaps a few weeks) with a grief counsellor. An opportunity to talk things through with them would compliment the support your family are giving you. Of course, you could take the option of taking antidepressants from a doctor, but I feel the chance to talk about the impact this has had on you with an empathic listener would be even more effective. You know that you are fondly regarded by many of us here in this forum that you have made such a positive contribution to. Sadly, we're limited in giving you the sort of care you can access locally. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
