Hey guys, I just joined NoFap yesterday and I have a question. I’ve been relapsing once every few days for the past 3 weeks, and this is after a 13-month streak of no PMO. Because I broke my streak I’m currently feeling extremely unmotivated and depressed and I was wondering what do you guys do to deal with depression and sadness???
I get to work. This is not a program about "not pmo". This is a program of learning and participating in the fellowship. There is work to be done. My experience is that I needed to start reading journals, writing in my journals and get involved in the fellowship. *L
For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2 fellowship. Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles: @DavidGibson @SteelshoT @Jewels @reystronaut @2525 @weddingnails @PatrickR @Beamer @Arohamystic @MLMVSS @Rising Sun !! @Ready to be healthy @Brahmacharin @Struggle Bug @tet2vd @Satchi @BigDawg913 @zakes @LilD @kropo82 Take a look at who they are exchanging messages. You will find more profiles. * L
One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work. Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few: @julianstone Journals at https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/146584/ --- @HerculesStop Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/140098/ --- @EdwarDG Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/151107/ --- @zakes Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/149243/ --- @DavidGibson Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143325/ --- @Euklid Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/146663/ --- @LilD Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/147764/ --- @BreatheDeeply Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139097/ --- @LiquidShoes Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/134044/ --- @Reverent Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143845/ --- @Former_CD Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/87827/ --- @PatrickR Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139570/ --- There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start. This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here. * L
Depression is tough. Best thing to do is be involved in positive activities that replace what PMO was. HERE are some things helping me.
Thanks so much man, that’s a lot of really helpful info! I’ll definitely start to do some of those things. God bless you bro!
