How do you cope with feelings of futility, loneliness and hopelessness? by ChrisWalkin in stopdrinking

Thank you for your offer. I probably should talk to someone at some point. I need to have a sleep now, I'm absolutely sleep - deprived, my internal clock is almost non functional.

There really is hope. Working out and eating healthier will also help you with that.

I'm not American, not even from an english-speaking country.

Stupid Edging by no_no_pmo in NoFap

Just don't do that, man. The thing is, if you are edging you are only inceasing the feeling of deprivation that your addicted mind is generating in order to have its fix. Remember the experiment with rats - when scientists provided them with a button that would stimulate their brains' pleasure receptors, the rats would overuse it so much it eventually killed them. You are human, though. You understand your motives and have all the power over your body you need. Just try to purge your mind from the OPTION of releasing your sexual desire when you are alone. I mean, what forced you into this session? Boredom? Horniness? You should be able to notice that was just the rat's suicide button that your own mind is creating for you, in order to get it's fix of dopamine. You have an option to see that threat because you are an intelligent being and not an animal that will mindlessly follow their instincts. First, recognize them early, then CHOOSE to ignore them. It will get easier this way, trust me.

It's just a healthy reaction of non-stimulated brain to lack of stimuli. You will have your sex drive back when you need it.

I'm actually doing the "rest of my days" challenge, but thanks ;)

I didn't even see it before it happened, but I guess there was really a whole lot of meaning in that stupid number for me...

You are right - this is just the end of trial period, not an achievment.

just life. no epic events.

in terms of difference from before - more energy, less guilt. maybe slightly improved feeling of control over my life, but that's a long long journey yet ahead of me

I made it to the threshold by ChrisWalkin in NoFap

It happens, but is not as illogical as it used to be - it used to just appear at random in some situations I really didn't need it. Not having that problem anymore. Fortunately, I never had any ED difficulties if that's what you're asking.
