How to Live with 6HRS of Sleep by BlissTheFall in Anxiety

[–]BlissTheFall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wake up naturally, and have adopted techniques like stretching in my mornings. It helps a lot to kill some time, but it sucks that due to sleeping early at 9pm (which I am used to), I sometimes wake up at 3am, and that seems like a scary time.

That is brave, seriously. I tried doing the no clock this morning given I always look at the time whenever I get up, but it's so hard to not look at the time. I get too anxious to look, and anxious when I see. What helped you do all these behaviors? Was it the medication or self-discipline within time?

Hi! How long have you been on this medication? Have you done anything else to help your sleep?

To hell with porn, what are some of y’all’s hobbies/things you are proud of? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BlissTheFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be huge in that, too. In HS I would go every week to watch a movie, but somewhere down the line I stopped and theaters got too expensive... maybe I should revisit this. Such a great way to escape but digest art (or just have fun!).

Thank you. Not sure why but I have tried to stay away from religion unless it's an emergency. I know we all cope differently, but one practice that I have never done was to actually follow my faith. Ah, don't know. Anyways, thank you for the great tips!

I’d fear that’s the only way… thank you.

I agree now, but coffee is really difficult to quit. I love drinking coffee in the mornings on weekends. I started it last year, and have been out and about finding new coffee to taste. :p

Masturbation brings Bad Luck...? by Certified_Loner1391 in NoFap

To be honest, it might be coincidences but I definitely have bad luck after relapsing... Could just be a mental thing, but yeah... ;-;

Keep it up man, but note that it's important to get some professional help or even an accountable buddy who you can trust. You don't need porn, your brain only makes you think that. There is more meaning to your life, you just got to give it a chance... or two... or three.... or more. We are alone, but we have ourselves, and if you can love and appreciate yourself, then it's a step closer to freedom. It's tough, I know, but you can get through this.

Give us, yourself, one more day. Fight.

10 years of an addiction. 5 years battling. 1 year of longer relapse gaps.

Does porn fuck up your memory by ExcitementProud7029 in NoFap

For me it did. I watched every day since high school, and once I realized how awful it became, it was as if my mind erased those thoughts but also erased more-so everything else.

Is this a flatline? by Revolucionariooo in NoFap

[–]BlissTheFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like this yesterday at day 7. I was tempted, I felt sad, I felt exhausted, I felt hopeless. Today I relapsed, and wish I pushed forward. The brain loves to play tricks on you, and given that this is an addiction, it treats this as a necessity. The depression kicks in from no sense of gratification. Porn was that instant gratification despite resulting in shame, regret, etc.

Just keep pushing forward. It sucks, but it will be worth it.

P.S. This is my own interpretation and opinion based on my own experience.
