  2. Knowing that the depression is as a result of chemical imbalance in your system helps a lot.
    It assures you there is nothing wrong, just your brain in distress for not getting orgasm that it has been getting for the period of your addiction in daily bases and the visuals of pornography
    When you understand this it helps you to ignore the feeling.

    One of the most powerful tools for fighting depression is exercise. Run around. Swim, climb, do something that makes you sweat. It helps reset your brains faster and also releases happy hormones for you.

    Also never relapse if you can. Relapsing hits your brains harder and makes you feel like a complete loser.

    After understanding these things, I have moved from wanting to commit suicide to having the hope that I will be fine eventually and I have to enjoy life as much as I can.
     
  3. For me my main issure is affecting my studies I don't study well or I get very lazy at studying because I feel hopeless

    Now, the only reason I am posting this is just to give some insight. I don't recommend this, though.
    As Union said before, depression is just a chemical upset. You just don't have enough dopamine in your brain. In my case, I already exercise fairly enough, so my brain was already used to doing such a thing. Even learning a new math technique didn't help (although it did aid my studies). During my longest streak before Nofap (20 days), I was incredibly depressed. It was the worst feeling in the world. Then, one day, I was feeling better enough to play my console. Immediately, I was back up and running. When ever I felt a dip in my dopamine levels, I would just play a few minutes of CoD. Now,this is where this gets a little illegal (lack of better word). I have been playing games since I was, like, 8 y/o. So, I think it is safe to say that I have formed a slight addiction to games (which is offset itself by mathematics). Given such an addiction, I could offset the P dopamine level by the video game dopamine level. This didn't mean my urges for P went away all the time, though. Video games just cured my depression.
    So, I guess the takeaway is to do what makes you happy?

    Hi, i can understand.
    The only way i fought it is going through it, there is no shortcut, just know that the worst will pass for sure.

  16. It isn't Everytime that depression is coming from NoFap. If there are unresolved problems in your life that brings depression, the depression will be there always until you discover it and get over it.

    Hey, i just watched the last Video halfeway, i dont think its a good Message for somebody who needs help to tell him that if hes not able to "fly" he is just wasting the oxigen of this planet, and what the Guy says isnt true, Eagles dont push there Chicks out of the nest, they lure them
    out whit Food and by calling them.
    Its true, we have to go out into the world and find our place, but its not a Shame to need help or to have problems or depression.
    You have to confront yourself whit the Problems behind the Depression and this can take some time. I agree that Yoga and Meditation are a good way to see clearer what the problems are and to calm the Minde
    It also helps to talk about the Things that are depressing you whit close Friends or on this Page.
