this is where I & possibly you want to be

I just had sort of an awakening moment after watching this video.

I was watching this and all my flashbacks from the past came out when I used to enjoy life with friends.

And here I was sitting for over 6 months, dwelling into this depressive state of mind.

And somehow I realized , all I need to do is connect back to my friends.
IDK if it clicks with you guys too but it did for me.

The first thing I did after watching this was call my childhood friend, and asked him to meet for beers this evening.

If you're stuck guys, sometimes all you need is the company of a friend.

I will not be completely free of my anxieties, but deep down I know it is the right path to go for.

Isolation kills us guys. At least it has been killing me.

If you feel socially awkward, find another guy/girl who feels the same and go have some beers (or do sth else).

After watching this it all came back to me. I'd stopped being the happy person I was.

Idk it will fix me or not, but fuck yeah this is something I would do rather than fap my eyes out.

 

i went and had a great time.

meet ur old friends - its the best medicine

we might even go for a two day trip soon..im really happy

and i told em i was depressed..they didnt have a problem with it

I hope you learn the importance of taking action like i did

all the best

stay strong

 

Thanks buddy!

 

U gotta limit ur screen / electronic time.

whenever u use ur comp, know what u have to do

 

Yeah. I could not be sober today. But from tomorrow I will hold no excuse.

I browse through po** because of curiosity or novelty as they call it. Then watch a couple videos.

Then either I get sucked into the disgusting yet powerful fantasy of porn or I close the window feeling disgusted.

One guy on nofap told me to resist urges. Like learn to resist small urges, like eating sauce with a dish, or any other thing you usually do. This resistance will translate into your everyday life, and your will power will boost.

Fill your life with things you like. Addiction always points at having some uncomfortable feelings. Like being socially awakward, not having a girlfriend, or hurt in the past. If you build a cushion around you (the love of your family/friends), chances of you getting sucked into that hole will be very low.

You should experiment. Personally, I would recommend meditation and some creative activity to everyone.

I read somewhere that those who are addicts crave creativity like nobody else. Hence if they channel their energy into creative pursuits they'll feel at peace. I had started poetry but didn't make it a regular thing.

There are 1000 ideas, try and experiment. And I believe that if your intentions are strong, you'll overcome anything.
