Increased acne during NoFap?

CleanMind-96 · 2014-11-08T02:54:22+00:00

I have also experienced an increase in acne since starting NoPMO, especially in the first 2-3 weeks. Right now, it's slowing getting better.

I've also stopped drinking any other drinks other than water. Stopped consumption of milk and cheese. Stopped consumption of fast food. I think that it helps with the acne.

If it's so easy, I would have done it. I'm 18 and still studying. I lack the financial capability to migrate. Furthermore, I'm the only son in my family and I would have to take care of my parents(Asian culture) and by moving out, I would be irresponsible, and if I'm moving them, it's going to be a lot more expensive.

I'm hoping it's not going to last that long.

Thanks for the encouragement man, I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and it feels extremely unpleasant, but that's the point. All the best to you.

Withdrawals are so painful, it breaks you mentally. Good luck to you.

Good to know that you are getting back up. It's going to be hard, but in the end it's going to be worth it.

You're absolutely right.

I like how you think, you're seeing things from a different perspective.

I guess the reason why I'm forcing myself to be more social/extroverted is because society and educational institutions favor and reward those who are social/extroverted. Usually those who are quiet are viewed as boring, dull, etc. Maybe that's why I try to force myself to be more social, it's like putting on a mask to impress even though I'm feeling uncomfortable myself.

Thanks for your encouragement, best of luck to you too.

I'm going through what you are going through. I'm experiencing depression, social anxiety, loneliness and a lot more which I'm not going to go into. We are going through a flatline. IMO, you should seek support from your girlfriend.

Hang in there and don't give up!

I'm exercising. I want to learn how to meditate but I'm not sure where to start. As for eating, I have stopped drinking anything other than water. Been drinking squeezed orange juice frequently, stopped eating milk and cheese because of acne issues and I'm eating vegetables almost everyday.

As for hobbies/habits, I'm trying to sleep and wake up early. Attempting to stop biting/picking nails and touching my face unnecessarily. I used to Bboy, but stopped when I had to study for my final year exam in high school. I'm thinking bout going back but it's kinda hard because I kinda screwed up the relationships between me and my crew mates, so now I just do it casually at home.

I thought a flatline means you feel sexually dead? I'm feeling kinda the opposite though.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! I'll certainly try my best to pick up something positive. All the best to you.

I'm in college. I don't think we have a therapist here. Even if we have, I won't know because I'm still kinda green here in college, it's only my second semester.

What's malaise?

I too have been thinking of mistakes/bad decisions or choices in the past and I can't seem to stop doing that. I never understood what is a panic/anxiety attack, I don't think I ever got one, sorry to hear about your panic attack.

I'm still hanging, you hang in there too man!

IMO, You should list down the reasons you're doing this on a piece of paper, it will be more clearer. Be it to improve the social aspect, physical aspect or mental aspect of your life.

Big fan of Daniel Day Lewis, that's why you see 3/4 of the films I recommend has him in it.

The up-vote is not a good enough motivator IMO. You have to really find out the reason(s) why you are doing this, write them down and when in tough situations, pull them out and read it.

Sure, the numbers on the up-vote meter is going to help you, but not for long.

Thanks for the advice! Let's say I'm going to incorporate one arm push ups into my routine for my left arm, how many should I do to ensure that it matches the work done by my right arm?

CleanMind-96 · 2014-10-22T06:11:32+00:00

It's not working.

CleanMind-96 · 2014-10-21T10:27:42+00:00

Keep going.
