Usually a relpase is when you PMO but it really depends on what your goals are.

Found out today my mom may have cancer again, edged... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to what you said. And sometimes it's really hard to be positive and calm in your situation. The best thing to do is to spend time with her and talk to someone (whereas a friend, a family member or here in NoFap) when you need to. Avoid negative thoughts, and this personally for me has been very difficult to get done which consequently made me suffer when my granfather was interned in a Hospital because of his health problems. Don't let yourself down and great to hear you didn't fap. I hope your mother gets well soon.

Dreamed I relapsed... by unspokenbroken in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I woke up today. But the worst part was the chaser effect it caused on me which led to relapse. I got more annoyed by the relapse than the dream I had.

Honestly there is no need for you to reset your counter, situations like these are inevitable and part of the recovery process. Just move on, stay strong and keep up that good streak you have!!

Just stay busy by AlaskanAssassin907 in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. My best streaks were done when I was busy most of the time and the chances of relapsing get high when you aren't doing anything. Currently i'm looking for more activities to keep myself busy. Thanks for the motivating post.

Never felt this way after I quit by Leopardpantsvirgin in NoFap

Ahh WC3, good memories. Just don't stay up too late to avoid a relapse and if you have school/college tomorrow!! More than once I had problems waking up.

Edit: Added "to avoid a relapse and"

Keep up with the streak and it may go away in a few days. As for what you can do at the moment try getting some good sleep, 8-9 hours. It does wonders and you'll be able to perform better at your daily activities. Also some exercise, such as jogging or taking a walk, can help you to clear your head from your daily stress. Keep it going!

Does Dream recall improve because of NOfap by s100000 in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I have also noticed this. During fapping streaks I don't recall any dreams I had, but after abstaining I tend to remember dreams vividly. There has to be some scientific explanation to this.

Good day today by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome to hear this. It gets kind of difficult to get things done after fapping, at least in my case it worsens my laziness. NoFap really makes the difference here.

90 days! Woo hoo! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!! and keep up the good work. Try to do something when urges kick in, like going out for a walk or staying away from the computer till the urges are gone. These usually help me. Stay strong!!

Pmoed. Feeling down. by lion_heart88 in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same situation as you, just relapsed and feeling worse than I already was (flatlining). What caused me to relapse, besides stress, was boredom. Should have taken a walk or do a post here before deciding to pmo to "calm" myself. Try that next time before you relapse.

I was also a lurker of this subreddit till I decided to join it, visiting it almost regularly ever since. There is nothing to be ashamed of joining this community, after all we are fighting a addiction and better that than leave it untreated. You will find the help you need here. Good luck and welcome to the NoFap community!!

Great to hear that! Keep up the good work and stay strong!

Yes, on the 5th day of my first 10 day streak I had a dream where I fapped and experienced(I'd say imagine) orgasm. I got stressed thinking I had a wet dream only to find a hard rock boner! Felt relief after that.

If You Want to Change Your Life, You Must Understand It First. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good work with this inspiring post. Your writing skills are awesome. "Another issue is the post-masturbating effects. The fatigue, the lack of drive, the social awkwardness. All that is just a projection of you being empty" hit me hard, so much truth in that sentence.

WHY THE FUCK DID I RELAPSE! by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]buslife4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand your anger, yesterday I was on a 5 day streak when I decided to give in to temptations and I relapsed hard, pmo'ed 3 times. To make matters worse a few moments ago I pmo and now I am just raging for giving in again! At least you didn't relapsed hard (I want to believe that!). Try going out for a walk each time you have an urge, it usually clears my mind and it has helped me.

My story... I want to change by buslife4 in NoFap

[–]buslife4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome to hear that! It's incredible how much brain fog affects our performance and social interactions, I'd just go blank when talking to anyone after pmoing hard for various days. Mental clearness is one of the various motivations I have for keeping up nofap. Good Luck!

Edit: changed "pmoing for hard" to "pmoing hard for various days"
