    Hi all, I've been attempting NoFap for a few months. Whilst my PMO frequency has decreased a ton in that time, I still struggle to get past week 1. I always feel really lazy and tired for no reason. Could it be related to PMO? If so, how long did it take for others to start feeling real motivation?

    I'm feeling a bit like that at the moment. Im just reading success stories and trying to keep at it. Focus on the positives of not fapping. And don't edge!

    It's commonly reported that PMO addicts get depression to some extent when abstaining. Sometimes after a period of improvement (like a taste of what's to come) or from the get go.

    I felt real motivation on day one, then it went completely, then it came back, then it went.. and so on and so on. My discipline kicks into play when my motivation is not there, i use my motivation to feed my discipline.Its been 23 days for me, the lethargic feeling i used to experience has almost completely gone. I notice in your counter you have many relapses, something has to change in order for you to move forward, have you tried a more aggressive approach to stopping yourself ? Do you beat yourself up after you PMO ?
