Feeling 100% stuck

    Hi, I just relapsed twice today on a 2 day streak, which was preceded by a couple other short streaks. I'm sure you all know that feeling after relapse where you have like zero energy and just want to die. Where you want to tear your brain apart. Where you feel like you'll never achieve anything (except sleep haha) because you're so tired.

    Does anybody have any ways for me and others to regain motivation?

    Thanks for any and all help :)

    Try to see where you did find your motivation to start nofap at first. It may be for health, social, sexual, religious or others reasons but there are plenty of reasons why PMO negatively affects your body and your brain.
    Be strong bro

    Same shit with me today. I PMOd 3 times already. Thing to do here I believe is treat yourself as you were your own kid. You want your son to succeed but you are not harsh on him when he fails. Just focus on the why you're doing this. I can, you can and everyone else can, every time you have the urge just focus on your why for NoFap, meditate and resist the urge at all cost (don't even touch your genitals)

    Should I just do no P for a bit and allow MO to a certain extent (like once every 2-3 days)?

    I think the first thing u should do is to clear ur mind.For me,i will go here if i feel i’m gonna watch porn and masturbate.Remember do this things when u are clam,when u are not thinking about porn,and do this everyday or a few days do once.I had NO PMO for 2 years but i still failed last year.This is my experience and i wish it could help u.(ENG not good,if u don’t understand just reply.

    @resurrect Hi dude. Sorry to hear that. Im on my 100+ streak but guess what. It's still issue - i just posted a threat about how i almost relapsed.
    Anyway the best and only way for me was just to not even consider PMO as an option. I made my decision not to fap again and there is no circumstances that can change it. Not even guy with gun pointed to my head wanted me to PMO for some twisted reason - no. If you let there be even the slightest option to relapse, the beast will always find the way.
    So as it may seems like a little harsh advice i strongly recommend you not to MO at all. With or without P or any other way (no no-hands, no binaurals, no fantasies, no "random" touches in shower). Just accept the fact you quit it for good.

    I know it sounds like a tooo big commitment. But in fact give up PMO is not giving up at all. You'll feel better, your life will change positively and you won't miss it at all. Really. When i started my NoFap i thought "i can't do it. i'll miss it so much". But its a bullshit. Its just the porn trying to trick your mind. Quitting pmo is like leaving a prison. It can be hard and scary, but its really nothing to miss.

    It's really easy like this:
    step 1: decide not to fap
    step 2: not to fap

    It can be hard, because this evil trap know how to trick our brains. It makes us think we need it. It makes us think we give up something. But it's a lie. You can be ex-fapper today.

    I can share with you some more tips and tricks how to handle rebooting, but this is the first and most important step (at least for me).

    Stay strong. Good luck on your journey.

    100% agree. You gotta propel that feeling of worthlessness into startin strong. The moment you relapse is when you have to wake up and decide without any doubt that you can’t PMO anymore. It’s a poor excuse for a man to feel the way OP described but we’ve all been there at some point. And it’s feelings like that- of hitting rock bottom that can initiate you to really overcome PMO. So hitting rock bottom can be good- it’s a sign that you must change, no if ands or buts.
    You have to wake up and listen to this:
    you have to be okay with the thought of NEVER watching porn again. if you aren’t, then you need more help, more education. Until you have complete conviction that PMO can no longer be an option, your brain will continue to trick you.

    So remember the way you’re feeling now and tell yourself: I should never have to feel this way. Never again! And you have to really change.

    @resurrect @that one guy
    Hi guys. I remember tge days when fapping was my first and only project. I was thinking of it, planning it, shopping for it, seeking time for it and of course doing it. And when i tried to quit i found out how empty life i had. I had no hobbies, no friends...
    So my suggestion is to find yourself a project. Something you always wanted do. Something meaningful but amusing. Time consuming but rewarding. It may be learning new langauge, woodcraft, writting a book, programing a game, solving puzzles, playing music, cleaning your town, making a vlog, baking a sourdough bread, hiking, hitchhiking, playing football, painting, patchwork... I know its hard to find something that fits you especially when porn sucks out your life power, but you have to try.
