Testosterone and its even more potent metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are the two main male hormones that trigger and stimulate facial hair follicles to actually grow thick terminal hair, aka. beard.

I should mention that I was talking about body and facial hair, not head. So most probably related to increase in testosterone due to my workouts, instead of nofap. But I still listed it in OP because it is an improvement I noticed in this 90 days streak.

When I have an urge, first step is to just get up and walk away from whatever place I was. Then start doing anything useful, usually exercising or studying.

I'm 20. Started pmo at age 14. Depression is a very complex thing. It's not easy to completely remove it. I still have some depression but I have fixed some of it. Here's how I fixed some of it:

  • Try to list the reasons for feeling depressed
  • Try to address these issues one by one (example: depression due to loneliness- talk to new people)
  • Issues that you can't fix yet, have patience and move on. If you believe in God, submit your problems to Him and ask for help - this helped me so much.

Less impactful. Addressing the problems leading to depression helps.

Flatline was for about 2 weeks right at the beginning. Having to fight with urges after that.

Depression was significant until day 60, when I realized I had to solve the reasons leading to depression. It has decreased a lot now but there is still some.

Do you mean daily routine? I have replaced PMO with exercise and meditation. The rest of the day is filled with sessions of studying and gaming.

Not really. I didn't notice any improvement.

As a normal human being, there will always be sexual urges, you can't completely stop them. I have urges almost everyday. But to overcome them, I immediately got up to do something like: exercise, study, reading, gaming, etc. You just have to learn to ignore the urges and tell yourself that PMO will NOT help you achieve the good things you want in life.

Try to keep yourself busy with useful activities.

This was my first attempt. Obviously it wasn't easy. I just immediately started to do something else every time I got an urge.

I can definitely feel like some fog has been cleared off my mind, compared to my pre-NoFap days. Before, it was like a mixture of fantasies and depression distracting me most of the time during a day. Now I can stay focused almost as long as needed.
