    Hey guys

    First of all i want to thank you and the staff for making this page happen as it is AMAZING.It is our secret weapon to the fight agaisnt PMO.If i didnt have the knowledge i learnt from this page i would have never stopped fapping.so,Thank you all.

    I live in a very poor country with no chances,currently have no job,no chance to get a job(no work exp),no money,no friends(because i have no money,idk how to make friends if i am home alone all day),i have parents who psychologically abuse me and they are the cause i am in this condition as they didnt back me up with anything but actually prevented me from any good thing i started,i have a highly ambitious character and this condition gave me severe depression,i cant get out to live alone as i said i have job,i have a broken heart right now as i met a girl who lives in another city but she wants to end this ''relationship'' because she doesnt want a long distance one and i can hardly go and meet her let alone move to her city,and i also dont want to have sex as i have PE.I feel totally hopeless and very very bad,idk how to explain it as i can hardly put 2 words together,thats why i dont comment or post here a lot,i really suck at expressing my thoughts

    But i am still doing noFap the hard mode,or monk mode,and i think i am in extreme flatline as i dont even get a morning wood,and i have gotten way waay more depressed since noFap.But i am going to go through this God's willing

    What i want to know is:
    -how long will it take till the depression phase ends?
    -how long are flatline periods?
    -will my PE get cured? i have fapped since 8-9 and now i am almost 23 :(
    -
    i cant leave this girl despite knowing she wont make me happy,as i feel i wont find another one,i have a lot of social craving as i have no friends and i feel extremely lonely,but i read that one day that craving for a girl dissapears and we wont care anymore and be happy alone.Is this true?
    Im in day 44 and i dont think im gonna reboot at day 90,its going to take a loooong loong time

    also any motivational comment related to this girl would be awesome.I am exhausted to beat it totally alone

    I think getting more in tune with your body would help with your depression, try cold shwers, start off with ending your showers with 10 seconds of cold water and build up from there, next day you can do 15 or 20 seconds. no need to force it. but I would recommend increasing it over time and you'll be more in touch with your body.

    Meditation is also a huge habit that will do wonders for you. It can be extremly hard at times, if you have a lot of shit to get through it will come up, but remember to breathe and it will pass

    I've Fapped since maybe 13-14 so I didn't start as early as you, but I have PIED and I am confident it will be cured. since you were younger when you started it's probably deeper engrained in your brain, but you can become whole again I am sure.

    Does this girl live by herself? I would greatly consider moving in to her if she does. you'll get away from the negative environment you're in right now, you could do whatever to get a job in the city with the girl and change your life for the better. Also if she lives with her parents I would still see if I could move in with her just to have a more healthy environment for your growth

    If you know she won't make you happy in a relationship I am sure she could become a good friend and a stepping stone to a much better life.

    I know how it is to live in a negative environment and no matter how Good you are doing it will still be greatly affected by the people around you. Also you'd probably get a much better relationship with your parents as soon as you move out.

    Take a risk, what is there to loose?

    Good luck I belive in you!

    Thank you for your understanding and your time to reply to me brother

    i liked this last part especially.I should really get a job to make some money and take a risk.I will go next sunday to meet that girl and try to really decide on what we will do.If she doesnt want to continue then i have to find another path.

    Idk about cold showers as then they will complain about water but i will continue to exercise.Watching my body improving in the mirror is like my only source of dopamine

    Thanks for backing me up,i will take your advice

    Wish you good luck too brother and thanks again ^^

  4. All I can say is good for you for taking the step. It sounds tough, but the bigger the challenge, the bigger the man you will be when you overcome it.

    Hopefully more opportunities open up for you as continue on your path.

    Hey bro!
    Do you have friends? I think you're lonely and need friends to talk to. Some times relationships don't work out and you have to just move on. If you're able to work it out with her then that's great, but don't beat yourself up if it fails. Try talking to her about the possibility of moving in with her.
    I have been in a situation when I was at home and not going out or meeting people, that had a very negative impact on me. I still don't have friends in and outside of college, so I understand your problem. But try to socialize if possible that will firstly, distract your mind from negative thoughts, secondly, keep you away from your parents, and third, it will give a sense of direction and may even help you find a vacancy somewhere.
    I hope my advice was helpful.

  8. My flatline/depression started @ 20 days and ended @ 70 days

    Your PE will resolve in time, but will take much longer than 90 days. Rather than think in terms of a number of days, think of it as a life-changing, life-long change in behaviour. After many months, the reboot will happen and you will gain all the benefits so your sexual function will normalize.
     
  9. There's a good vibe in here, so I'll try and keep it running.

    First...

    I just want you to look at your current streak. 44 days. That is an impressive feat and you should give yourself a pat on the back. You're halfway to 90, and even if you don't magically reboot at 90 days, so what? You'll just keep on going. You've clearly got the willpower to get this far, so you have the willpower to keep on going. Doubly so given the mental anguish your parents sound like they've put you through.


    I can't give you a specific time, day and date that these things will cease because there isn't one. One of the things you'll come to learn is that you aren't always going to feel great. Human moods are cyclical. What you will learn however is that these things do not last forever. As someone who dwelled in the pits of depression for a good quarter-century, I didn't think it would end. However, small moves I made improved things for me, and once it came to undertaking NoFap, I could see that even if I did feel crap during a reboot, or even afterwards, I already knew what that felt like, so I could be in it. I'd be depressed, but I wouldn't be 'medicating' with PMO.

    However, that's not to say that there aren't guidelines of what others have experienced. Read people's logs, and their success stories, and while you may not have a mirror experience, you should see enough similarities that you can identify in your own journey.

    This one I can respond to with a resounding YES! Again, I can't tell you when, but it will be a when and not an if. Sure, you've been fapping for a while, but you're still young and your body and mind can heal from the damage it has undergone. You may have times in the future when you might experience PE, but these should become isolated occurrences over time and if you life a healthy life, moreso.

    This is a complicated question and I'm unsure exactly how to answer it. If she's not making you happy, you've at least acknowledged to yourself that relationship may not have a future. If you're a heterosexual male, you're likely to have cravings for women regardless of whether one is in your life or not. If you want to be by yourself, that's fine too. You can even do it without resorting to porn - you just find yourself a tiny place, earn your bread and spend the rest of the time working whatever it is you want, being it getting jacked, building World War Two dioramas or writing the great West Balkan novel.

    If you want a woman in your life, that's possible too. I'll tell you now that if you work on making yourself and better you, the best you, then you'll almost certainly meet other women, other women who love and appreciate you for who you are. I've stayed in too many relationships for too long because a lifetime of rejection told me that I would never find someone else. I was always unhappy in the relationships, but could never leave because it was a woman who wanted to be with me. I settled too often for poor situations where neither of us was doing the other much good, and even the sex was dull at times.

    So I want you to look yourself in the mirror, remember @Sychar's words to you above (she's good people), and understand that you're worth being you.

    Okay?

    You've got this.

    I will consider this benchmark. Everyone is different but it is nice to have a map of the terrain.

    I'm at 57 days and still hurting. It takes willpower to change, but everything you want to change, you can. Nobody says it will be easy! I got divorced after I came home early and found my wife with someone else. I found my soulmate during the divorce proceedings. Beauty came out of pain. The girl? Go for it! The job? Go for it.

    I am 50 years old and have never, NEVER, found a group of better, more understanding people than here. Not military, nowhere. This forum is absolutely packed with great individuals. Use it!
