    Alright let me say one thing, why should i keep going if every 5 days i suffer from depression because of nofap??? if it is some sort of a flatline why should i damage myself to wait for 20 days while suffering from depression? like i couldnt even go outside and have fun, and now that its quarantine what am i going to do? Sit still and deal with it???

    Ok, what if you don't? Would you work on any self improvement stuff if you don't do Nofap?

    Nofap may not be easy but the idea of abstinence is simple. The more serious self improvement stuff is not as simple but it may be easier, but you also need to do more than one thing.

    Forgot to say, there's a good chance Nofap would be easier if you do serious self improvement and lifestyle changes though.

    I feel depressed without PMO too. But you need to come to a point where you realize that going through some hardship while you recover is both necessary and worth it.
     
  5. Because NoFap is fun and makes you feel a sense of accomplishment and control over your life.

    I think sitting still and dealing with it is how you come out on the other side. Gotta go through something to get to something.

  7. It sounds like you don't have a problem with PMO, which means you won't quit it. Nobody's going to force you to change your life, and if you think going nofap isn't worth the hassle, then you should respect your own thoughts and feelings. A problem's only a problem if it's a problem.

    Why not join a challenge to make it fun and keep the motivation up?

  11. Depression because of Nofap. Huh? What are you losing by not doing PMO or orgasming? Nothing, some guys just cannot handle all the energy that comes with Nofap and they think that it's a bad thing that they have this much energy and they cannot use it.

    Maybe stop thinking of things as an all or nothing scenario. If your longest streak is 5, shoot for 7. Then when your longest streak is 7 shoot for 10. I am on my longest streak ever, and while I have big goals, I also have incremental goals. Incremental goals make that "light at the end of the tunnel" seem closer. Challenges on this site provide incremental goals.

    Take weight loss. If I told a 300 pound person "you need to lose 120 pounds" that goal could easily seem unobtainable. If I told them that their current goal is to lose 10 pounds, that 10 pound goal sounds very obtainable.

    You seem quite knowledgeable I would like to know if it’s possible to reboot but still watch porn but not frequently maybe like once a week or is there always a relapse that comes with it

    I have found that you need a clean break. I had some of the most intense urges yesterday after seeing underwear model displays at Walmart after looking at the women's clothing section momentarily. These advertisements were not meant to be sexual in any way. I nearly relapsed because of it. It's all or nothing unless you want to be caught in a feedback loop forever.

    So far I’ve been ok at controlling myself with urges but I want to gain complete control and I believe I can do it but I’m scared about the PIED which is the reason I want to limit it a lot I know I’m stubborn for thinking this way but I’m very conflicted atm
