    I realize this is a loaded question but without going too much into my own situation.

    Can severe depression symptoms be caused primarily by PMO? Hence, for many cases, if PMO is cured the depression is cured with it. Or is each there own issue?

    I've been reading up on depression and read that drug use can be a cause, but nothing directly related to PMO.

    From what I heard from other people, I will say yes to both your questions. Also, did you know PMO has the same affect on your brain as heroin.

    Beware, there is a point during nofap called flat line that sucks; I think I am currently in it. Basically, I feel like sh*t, I hate myself, I am ALWAYS tempted to relapse, I can get angry really easily, and I cry often (especially when no one is around).

    HOWEVER, I am VERY HOPEFUL that this is the worse there is to it. I have heard that after this, it only gets better, and I honestly can't wait. ...Welp I am crying again lol.

    When you get this far (I am assuming you will because you are a WINNER!!!), I strongly recommend doing all the anti-depression and stress relieving you can get your hands on. The two things I do right now is workout (stress reliever) and take a cold or luke warm shower (no hot showers). This calms me down and keeps me in control of depression for the most part.

    Edit: Sorry, I rambled.
