    I did not have some kind a big addiction for porn but I used to fap, I always relapse between day 10 - 15 and at the flatlines I have sometimes heavy suicidal thoughts is it normal, does anyone has that problem too? if yes how to deal with it.

    If you are having suicidal ideation (thoughts), I recommend that you speak with a professional in your area and or reach out to a suicide prevention hotline. In the US I would recommend https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ There are similar anonymous resources throughout the world, some are text based. Talk to somebody.

    Suicidal thoughts are NOT normal you probably are suffering from depression and the fapping is probably masking some of the symptoms.

    Listen here my man. I might not be a professional but I know suicide isn't the way to go. Life's just a game and it's not overly long so play it.
    The way I cope with depression is I turn it into anger then expel this anger in the gym.

    NoFap doesn't cause suicidal thoughts, the way you thrive does.

    What an amazing quote to live by. The profile picture just made it perfect. I've been in a bad bout of isolation and depression myself. I've also had some weird joint pain so I haven't exercised for a week or so.

  12. One of the things I'm in therapy for right now is major depression. Fapping, I believe, is one of the major players in it. It exacerbates it and it's downright delusional. Please call the suicide hotline if thoughts resurface and realize nofap is only beneficial to you. Also, heavy suicidal thoughts are NEVER normal!

    i am in the same boat, when i fap or relapse i get extremely apathetic and suicidal. i have been seeing therapists for all my adult life and it hasn't helped. i am not seeing any right now although i know that's probably not a good idea. none of the people i have seen have taking the fapping issue to be a serious issue and just chalk it up to my beliefs about it. i am now realizing that while my self image may be deeply tied to this, it doesn't matter whether i can change it or not, because the neurological effects of it are real and serious, and i'm not going to look for ways to continue on with the behavior anymore. i have made the choice that i don't want it to be a part of my life anymore, and know that by seeing this through i will only better myself. they try to tell me not to fight who i am.
    i'm not fighting who i am, i am terminating a part of myself that is unnecessary and destructive.

    I am sure Nofap never will cause suicide.
    ViLimoN has to realize that he is a wonderful person. He has to learn to accept himself, like himself and love himself.
    There is always hope and this life is very precious.
    Getting rid of addiction is an effort in the right direction. We all want to be truly happy.

    Nofap itself won't cause suicide, but rather the disappointment of thinking you "failed" when you relapse. This is a way of thinking and it occurs with any serious drug addiction, and for some, porn is no exception.
