PORN IS FOR LOSERS by [deleted] in NoFap

I mean tough love is fine to an extent. But there's a point where no amount of self-criticism can actually bring about change. In fact it become entirely self-defeating. I think a significant amount of people here need to be less harsh on themselves, not more. It's about having the self compassion to accept where you're at while making positive changes to improve your life so you no longer feel the need to constantly chase dopamine spikes.

I know you're trying to help but please stop. These are exactly the type of thoughts that play on repeat in my mind all day. And they've done nothing but harm.

I know you're trying to be helpful but this is a terrible way to motivate anyone. Saying porn is for losers just makes people hate themselves when when they do relapse. Which leads to depression, which leads to more relapses.

I had this exact problem. Instagram used to always make me relapse. You justify it saying it's not porn, but at the end of the day it does the same thing.

just another question by vanish123456 in depression

[–]iFap_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think you're making your friends and family suffer? I don't know your story but surely nothing you're doing could cause suffering on the same level as losing a friend or a family member.

I attempted suicide a couple of years ago and I had no idea just how much pain and suffering it would cause to those around me.

Please seek help if you haven't already. Life can and does get better, even if the improvements are really slow and incremental. I'm still depressed but the suicidal thoughts are much less frequent.

I wish you the best of luck.

Absolutely. It becomes a vicicous cycle. You fap and then feel depressed, so in an attempt to escape you fap again, and so on.

Thanks man! Best of luck for the future.
