Good to see young people coming to this site early on. You can do this, and it is so much easier than if you had waited longer. Not saying it will be easy, but two years is a big difference from some of the guys on this site, myself included. Do not give up hope, do not lose faith that you will get to the other side.

 

Hey, welcome to NoFap!

I'm also seventeen, and I've had a similar experience with porn. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for years. It's a tough battle to fight, it wears on you. Just when I thought all hope was lost, I found NoFap. It took me a while before I actually joined the forums, though, and I wish I had done so sooner. It's already done a lot for me. I actually feel kind of human again. You might like to look at this post I made about what I've noticed from NoFap in the few No PMO (No Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm) streaks I've done so far, with a few of them having been before I officially joined NoFap.

It sounds like you've definitely come to the right place. NoFap can be a great resource for those of us experiencing issues related to porn and masturbating. Even now, I've seen some pretty significant improvements in anxiety. I feel way less anxious than I did before I started NoFap. Sometimes we don't even know how much of an effect something has had on us until it's gone, and that's definitely the case with porn.

I would recommend that you started a reboot log. Just pick a category based on your age, and start a new thread. That'll serve as your reboot log that you can reply to when you're ready to create an entry. It'll help you document your progress, motivate yourself, and serve as motivation for others on their NoFap journey. If you're having a hard time getting started with the log, you can look at the other logs for some ideas and inspiration! Plus, doing so might also provide you with some much needed motivation to push through and you could learn new things about NoFap.

I recommend you look up a site called YourBrainOnPorn if you like to see the facts. It really helped me a lot to understand what porn was doing to me, and that it wasn't really that unheard of. Trust me, I know. Being a porn addict can make you feel like you're insane or a criminal, and can come with a lot of guilt. But know that we've all experienced it here, so don't be afraid to be honest and talk about it. Sometimes just talking about it can make a huge difference.

Always remember that every day without porn and masturbating is a step in the right direction.

Good luck to you! Stay strong!

Good luck

 

I would suggest against even just watching porn. It's actually much more harmful to watch porn than it is to masturbate so watching it without masturbating basically means you're doing almost the same damage, and you aren't even getting the pleasure out of it. If you had to pick one or the other, then masturbation is always on top.

It's always better to just abstain from both completely though. Do the reboot, then you can decide for yourself whether to return to masturbating, but don't ever return to porn! It's never worth it.

Hope this helps!

 

You must stop the P and P-subs 100% if you want to get free.
