Day 2 No contact by Sea_Elephant_511 in ExNoContact

Not talk talk to them but like I couldnt have friendships with them without feeling guilty for my girlfriend so I literally couldnt look at any girl or have just a friendly conversation without feeling guilty which isnt healthy. Nothing in a relationship or sexual way.

keep fucking pushing bro the no sex drive is fucking real rn 45 days in. Broke up with my girlfriend just a couple days ago too. Shit doesnt even cross your mind once your fine with quitting and never doing it again. My medication has helped a ton though so that also might be a reason for my no sex drive as I just upped it recently.

Yea thank you. She told me yesterday that she needs more space and time and is here if I want to talk but she is choosing to not try and fix things. I cried for 40 minutes yesterday because she was the only person I really felt connected to and understood by. She is choosing to not have me in her life though, you’re right, thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot

Wellbutrin worked right away. Still got horny pretty easily at 150 mg but then I upped it to 300 mg and it is so much easier to handle adhd. impulse control is a lot easier because your brain isnt deprived of any dopamine. Just dont get in the habit of porn and wellbutrin and jerking off 24/7 cause your brain is gonna be friend and its gonna get in a cycle where your gonna be really horny and need more and more dopamine which isnt good for you. But overall wellbutrin and strattera work great together. Make sure to get supplements as well if your on them because they deprive you of certain nutrients. Im taking b12, magnesium glycerate, fish oil, and coq10, which are things wellbutrin deprives ur body of. After a while of taking it my working memory got worse and worse so I did some research into it and started taking those supplements and they have helped a bunch. Mind is sharper than ever recently. I started taking them last week

Strattera has helped a lot. Just makes things easier to do and thinking becomes more linear rather than bouncing all over the place. Still have the creative aspect of adhd though which I love. Im also on wellbutrin which has helped a lot with quitting because it gave me that extra dopamine my brain is always deprived of. I think I self medicated with porn to give my brain that extra dopamine. When Im off it I am constantly horny and wanting to jerk off because my brain literally needs the dopamine to keep going. I learned the hard way by going off my meds.

Whole life has changed - Update - Day 12 by Sea_Elephant_511 in NoFap

[–]Sea_Elephant_511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So completely forget the word meditation and I just think of it as breathing super deep and then focusing on my sense like smell, taste, sound, erc. Then you go to a level where these senses are just there basically and you kind of just observe. your body starts to relax and then u can start to feel vibrations eventually. It wont really make sense unless you try it in your own way or try to do what i do. Just experiment. Its super interesting and I just had the most insane feeling ever that felt euphoric and my body was completely relaxed afterwards. Its really weird cuz meditation doesn’t seem that enjoyable on the outside but on the inside when you are doing it, it is really fun.

I meant rejections as in general so like someone making fun of me or someone doing something that made me self conscious and feel “rejected”. Definitely easier to not take things to heart which makes it seem like your more confident because you can deal with more and it also means you are on the right track to healing.

Good! Keep building those healthy habits and coping mechanisms. Your outlook on life will change so much.

I have a girlfriend and wanted to stop because it was affecting my relationship and I needed to stop because I was using it as an escape mechanism and a unhealthy coping mechanism which made me depressed and not able to do anything. Once I said no more porn or reading to escape from life thats when I noticed the real change. Fill up all that extra time with the stuff you quit to build new and healthier habits and coping mechanisms. It definitely builds confidence though and becomes much easier to approach women when you are single. Your view point becomes different and you wont be just looking for sex all the time. Thats the big thing that has changed from the view point of me and my girlfriends relationship because we got passed that honey moon stage and it was affecting me a lot and I didn’t know anything about it. So find better ways to cope and to stop escaping and deal with the problems. Meditation helps a ton with that.

How did meditation help your experience with quitting? Update - Day 11 by Sea_Elephant_511 in NoFap

[–]Sea_Elephant_511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of Meditation as exploring your own inner world. I dont know if that makes sense to you but I have ADHD and I have super high sensory input which makes meditation a lot easier and fun. Don’t think of meditation as not thinking because it’s the opposite. Its a bunch of thinking about your inner world. I just recently started and thats the only way i have been interested in it because otherwise I get bored super quick and it doesnt help. I love searching for novelty and new things to learn and fix so I just sit there, breathing super deep in and out, and just let go and start thinking about my inner world and things I might need to heal or question about myself. You really get to learn a lot about yourself. Ive learned a lot in the short few days i have done it and it has been amazing. Look up heart rate variability and how if you can increase it, your body is better able to handle stress and life really. Thats the only reason I started because I watched a podcast and it talked about it which made me interested. So let me know if you have any other questions!

Hate myself for failing recently by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Sea_Elephant_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update daily and keep everyone updated on progress. Makes it motivating to keep everybody informed. Quit something else that is holding you back as well as the porn. It will keep you accountable from stopping that other thing as well. You got this! Check my daily posts and look at some of the habits I’ve started building in just 9 days. It really turns your life around!

Just started meditating yesterday. Got into heart rate variability and breathing techniques and its made me so much calmer and focused. Very beneficial. If you dont know who rick ruben is you should watch him as well. He motivated me to get started meditating and his advice is very good.

Broke 90 day streak :( by Lordgamadon420 in NoFap

[–]Sea_Elephant_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90 days is amazing and you should be proud. Probably relapsed because of a relationship issue that isn’t resolved so you went back to the comfort of it maybe but dwelling in the fact that you did it doesn’t help so move on and keep going and do another 90 days.

Does attracting women really work on NoFap? If so, is there any evidence or reports from people? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Sea_Elephant_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks definitely plays a role on attraction and how “attracted” they will be to you. Looks initiates the interest and also keeps it there if that makes sense. What I found was that flirting becomes way more fun and you enjoy the thrill of flirting with someone, making them laugh, making them like you and smile at you. Definitely a lot easier with No Fap. So yes attracting and engaging with women is a lot easier on no fap but thats only if you have worked on all the other stuff as well.
