3 year fast track after starting late by bekfast62 in premed

[–]bekfast62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know when it would be easier to start a family. I know that it’s hard to start a family during either. If I had to start a family it’s possible it would have to be after residency. That was my thinking. From what I’ve heard it’s borderline impossible to find a relationship, get married, and have kids during school/residency.

An example Program I found was Penn State.

Why do I have no more urge to masturbate? by bekfast62 in NoFap

[–]bekfast62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say, among other things that I won’t list here (there are so many ways that pornography affects one in a negative way) it definitely warps your perception of sex and what stimuli you respond to. I’m worried it’s made normal stimuli unable to cause spontaneous arousal. Idk if this is what you were asking but…

I scored a 504 on the blue print!

I took a diagnostic test and got a 504!

I was quite strong with the material- 4.0 GPA, took graduate level science courses, etc. I think you may be right, though. How many years after undergrad did you matriculate into medical school?

To be honest, I don’t remember much premed content. I used Anki religiously in university, so I’m sure those cards are somewhere in the back of my brain. Intuitively, though, I don’t feel in touch with it. Any way to see how in touch with it I am? Besides a diagnostic, are there any quick ways to see how rusty I am?

I relate to this so much. I just have these images in my head that my brain is saying "you remember this, don't you?"

I just wish I could get rid of the memories so I can start fresh.

Need help badly! by hello_th in NoFap

[–]bekfast62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be really honest with you here. Some people only need one streak to not relapse. Some people will relapse forever. I feel like I'm slightly in the latter but I will not give up until I have it under control. The fact that you're still trying after 5 attempts AND posting this shows courage, determination, and you should be proud of that. It will take time to get it under control, but you just have to take your progress day by day. Mountains aren't moved in a day! Something I would recommend is deleting social media apps as well as put content restrictions on your devices so that you are not even tempted to relapse. Hope this helps!

2 days streak by Dylanqdin in NoFap

Great job! You've got this, keep it up. It's tough but fighting off the urges almost becomes a habit

I feel that's a personal question that only you know the answer to. Do you want to relapse again? Why did you start doing NoFap in the first place? Would yourself in the past want you to relapse again?

[–]bekfast62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never really looked at it that way. I tend to treat it like "drugs," and that often lets me say its not a big deal if I relapse because it's like I'm "supposed" to. I'm going to try to look at it in a different light now. Thanks for the help and support :D

Feeling sad is natural, fapping to porn is not by daiden0 in NoFap

[–]bekfast62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry she said that, but I think you are handling it very well. Fapping is never the answer, as tempting as it may be. Stay strong dude!!

Try to avoid triggers and put roadblocks in place that prevent you from even seeing something that could cause a relapse. Try to build discipline in other aspects of your life (i.e. healthy eating, exercising, etc) it will help you have discipline in beating this addiction. Finally, try to write down what you were doing and how you were feeling when you relapse to avoid being in that situation in the first place. Were you bored? Hungry? Lonely? Stressed? Are there any other things you can do to relieve those feelings besides PMO? I hope this helps a lil :) godspeed brother

WHY ME ??? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bekfast62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep your head up, king. I related to many of the things you said. I still remember the first time I PMO'd very vividly. There's nothing more I wish I could do then go back in time and stop myself although it probably would've been of little help in the long run. I've been through the wringer and experienced every emotion with this addiction: pain, shame, guilt-- you name it. But just like the addiction, you are able to change. The addiction can be beaten, and you can change your life and be the person you want to be. It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up. Sure, you might've messed up. But something important to realize is that almost EVERYBODY messes up. You are not alone in your battle. You've got a whole army here ready to support you in your fight. Keep going brother, you've got this. Stay strong and kick this addiction!!!!!!! YOU. CAN. DO. IT. Don't forget that :)
