    Hello I'm new to NoFap and I'm really depressed at the moment.

    I live alone without any parents, friends, siblings to study and get admission in my dream university. I used to study hard when I was with my parents and didn't think of fapping much. But ever since I have started living alone, I dont know why? I just can't control my urges. Today I ended up fapping 11 times. As a result I feel disguisting and terribly tired.

    I dont know what to do. Please help me.

    Thanks for your reply.

    The place where I live is little different. All of my friends are working hard to get into colleges and no one is willing to spend any time with others. Thats why sometimes I feel homesicked and lonely. Studying keeps me busy but sometimes I start fapping without my knowledge. When I am done fapping I feel really guilty.

    Finally, I am thankful that I discovered NoFap. Only typing this has motivated me a lot. I am willing to change. I know my parents trust me and I can't let them down.

    Don't be hard on yourself. Fall 5 times, get up 6 times. Life has it's ups and downs.

    Set small goals in the beginning. My advice: Start to read about healthy eating, it can help you a lot.

    Wow that is really nothing to proud of. I’m not surprised you are tired.

    Get into a dormitory with other students or go get accommodation with other people were you cannot be alone with an Internet connection.

    You really need to nip this in the bud. You are a young man and you will be rewiring your brain in a very unhealthy way.

  8. Sorry to hear this mate, as long you came here even by 11 faps means you really want to change but seems you find it difficult. In my opinion, studying alone would not help, in fact according to my experience, whatever I do of good activities, if it is indoor being alone, especially in my room, i will leave all and give up for a fap. So you have to change this strategy and build a new one, filled with different activities you like under time management. Loneliness is bad i know, but once you get busy with yourself you will end up forgetting about them. I feel lonely sometimes but not always. Especially when i am working well on a routine schedule. 11 relapses are a lot, my maximum faps three faps 5,5,6 on different times, and when i got through these 3 relapses I was literally dying.. My whole body was shaking. Each person bears differently, trust me mate you can change and get much better. You are not alone!

    Stress could be one of the factors that triggers it. Might want to look into it.

    Agreed, depending on where you are, and what is offered at school, you might want to discuss this with a campus therapist. I found that my PMO turned into a real full blown addiction, but it started as a coping mechanism for stress and other trauma. So discussing you PMO addicitoncand our stress with support groups and therapy might help a lot.

    Being alone with our thoughts can cause huge stress and depression. Also loneliness in general breeds depression in my opinion. So first being honest with someone about your PMO problems, and being honest with schoolmates and councilor about your stress and sadness and linelinesss, can be incredibly freeing.

    I was thoroughly surprised how honesty about my problems took the power out of them.

    I did it again :(. I'm useless.
     
  13. No you are not. It's ok. Try again! What made you relapse? Sitting in a room ? Don't do it. Pornography? Strictly block it. Then add extra tasks to do. Never give up. You can change that!

  14. I've been there. If you're on such high numbers, it's probably not possible to quit immediately. Reduce the amount first. I'll try to give you a tip on how to do that.

    If you're already in a masturbation session, don't cum quickly and don't switch whatever you're watching. If you finish yourself fast or if you keep providing novel material, you'll be able to get back to PMO very soon. If you force yourself to, e.g., masturbate for half an hour to a single clip, you'll be sort of satisfied after.

    I've followed this routine of watching one long video a day and after just three days I was so bored I didn't even want to PMO at all. I used to go 4-8 times/day before that so I think it's a pretty good technique.

  16. Take time to just relax during your days. I've relapsed so many times simply because of physical, mental or emotional stress and the solution to that was for me to just take time to lay down or stay still in silence until the stress was gone or lessened. Whenever you feel the urges coming, try that before they get overwhelming.

    Also, what else are you doing in your home? If you try to study hard in uni, and then at home too without pauses, you'll burn yourself out quickly. See if you can allow yourself to have fun every now and then, because it is likely that if you neglect your need for enjoying things, or for resting, porn will step in immediately.

    It takes one to know one. I am from India as well. I do understand the pressure that Indian students face.
    Good Luck buddy.
