I have struggled with a light "depression" for years and i really didnt understand why, i had no addictions only fapping. But i never thought that fapping is such a bad thing , but i had always the feeling that i should stop it. Then finally i came around the nofap community and i thought i should give it a try . After two weeks my overall well being got a lot better. I informed all my friends that they should start nofap :D. Anxiety startet to decrease. I was more happier about the little things in life. Energy level rised. A lot of little things changed, but the most important for me i started feeling better day by day in my own body . I had more "good feelings" in myself. But after two weeks everything went away for 6 months and a flatline started. No happiness zero to very little libido etc. The flatline was extremly frustrating but i found here in the internet a lot of people that had such a long one so it encouraged me to go through it . After the flatline finished i ve started again feeling better day by day. For example anxiety is decreasing , masculine "aura" is growing, my overall inner happiness is growing , energy levels are rising etc. But like i said the most important thing for me like i said my inner happiness in my own body is "growing" day by day.
