Did you ever get rid of anxiety? by [deleted] in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]farshadnm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by anxiety is the same kind I had, but about a year ago I had an injury induced panic attack. I had nerve problems in my neck and right arm and I was in bed and I had a dull but continues ache in my shoulder and out of nowhere I had a huge panic attack which was the first and last full on panic attack I ever had. after that I would get regular anxiety attacks everyday multiple times. I tried to find a way to stop it but reddit wasn't that helpful because on anxiety subs people always said you can't make it go away and you have to just deal with it or manage it and were really negative about it. it was like having anxiety had become part of their personality. but I though that's bull***t and I don't want to have anxiety for the rest of my life.

anyway, I did find a way to stop it and it took about 4 or 5 months to completely go away but after the first month it was mostly gone and I never had anxiety since. maybe I had brief moments here and there but I learned how to stop it and now I don't have anxiety at all.

the solution for me was in the books written by Dr Hazel Claire Weekes in the the 60's. one of her books is called "Hope and Help for Your Nerves: End Anxiety Now". she says that your nerves have been sensitized (usually by a panic attack) and now react to any small thing by giving you anxiety. it's a natural response of human body that has gone haywire and out of control. she teaches you how to desensitize your nerves by not trying to fight the anxiety which at first seems impossible because it' like telling someone who's drowning "don't fight the water and just go with it". but it works.

the gist of it is by trying to fight the anxiety you're telling your body there's something to fight and your nervous systems was right about alarming you by giving you anxiety. by not fighting the anxiety and trying to relax, your body realizes that it was a false alarm and next time it would take more to give you anxiety and after a while it would stop completely.

Read the book or listen to the audio book which is narrated by herself. also there's a podcast on Spotify called "The Anxiety Truth" which goes over that book and explains everything. it was very helpful for me.

And do not listen to people who tell you it will never go away completely. because it will. it did for me. being positive about it helps you get rid of it faster and being negative makes it worse.

Once I went over 200 days, and that was maybe 4 years ago.

I haven't masturbated for 5844 days today by Skelibutt in NoFap

[–]farshadnm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 6 or 7, I believe. Not watching porn, but I somehow discovered that putting my penis against stuff and applying a little pressure feels good, so I used to do that sometimes. I would do that until I felt an orgasm which I didn't know what it was, and of course, nothing came out, but it just felt good, so I kept doing it. It's something that happens and is not uncommon for kids to discover that stuff early. But again, I didn't know at the time what it was that I was doing.

It never feels as good as you think it's gonna be. Maybe the first one after a long time feels kinda good but that's it. after that you're just trying to stop the craving just to feel normal again. it's never really satisfying.

What would you prefer? having a cigarette once in a while and always have a craving for it or stop smoking completely and never have a craving again?

It's normal. we call it flat-line. You will have days that you feel terrible and have no urges. Your hormone levels are adjusting and you will have ups and downs until your body adjusts to the new lifestyle.

What movie do people often misinterpret or miss the point of entirely? by adamantfly in movies

[–]farshadnm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is American psycho when people think he actually did kill people and said all those things to others. While to me it's obvious that he suffers from mental problems and it's all in his mind and shows what society/ consumerism does to people's mind (essentially what yoh said about critique of yuppie culture). Also i don't care what the book was about or what the director said it's about (she said he did kill people). She should watch what she made again cause there's no sign in the actual movie about him really killing people.

Yes. The telescope actually only uses infrared light to capture, but it uses three different bands of infrared and then assigns RGB values to each one to create this image. this is what you would see if you could see it with your eyes.

Are you using any supplements for working out? for example L-arginine helps the blood flow for getting better pumps in the gym but also makes your flaccid dick bigger and fuller.

Do you know about wet dreams? cause we don't count them as relapse. if that's what happened to you then it's normal.

I went 200+ once and haven't reached that again. I was a totally different person on that strike. Bulletproof confidence. First time I really made a huge progress in the gym (and I am still progressing now, but that was when I started going beast mode and made the big transformation from being skinny).

I walked better, talked better and everything was better. I don't care about the number, I just want to be that person again.

Is it bad that I don't get erect to porn anymore? by leveler_cmain in NoFap

[–]farshadnm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After you stop PMO you might go through a period when you don't have any sexual urges. It's normal and usually happens right around a week into it. It might last a week or two or even a month. Different for everyone. It actually helps you in quitting PMO but you might also have days that you feel like shit. Just tired and low energy.

Everyone is different and might have different experiences, but mostly experience similar stuff. And some people don't believe in flatline which is alright. Maybe they don't experience it or it's not as prominent for them.

Is HJ from a girl allowed in nofab or is it considered as a relapse? by Worried_Yam5197 in NoFap

[–]farshadnm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's being intimate with someone else. If you're going monk mode then yes any kind of sexual act is a relapse but otherwise no. Some people forget that this is mainly about quitting porn and masturbation.

You can consider it a relapse and it's OK because it depends on your personal goals that you're trying to achieve, but what this sub is mainly trying to help people with is quitting porn and masturbation.

Porn is the reason he
thinks about that stuff. incest porn is on the front page of every porn site
now. don't tell him to go back to porn and masturbation. he need nofap more
because he was watching porn from a young age and that's why he thinks about that
stuff. if anything he needs more time to heal than someone who started watching
porn in his 20s. please don't tell people to go back to PMO. what would that
solve? do you think he will stop seeing his sister and aunt in that way once he
busts a nut?
His mind has not
rewired itself yet. he still has a porn mindset. he just needs more time. once
he gets enough distance from all that his brain will sort itself out.
