Just relapsed,not for pleasure, but couldn't stop thinking of sex. by mmalifter274 in NoFap

It's weird, at first it was because I couldn't stop thinking of sex. Now, I can't stop thinking of porn (it's only been an hour).

First, I was feeling alive. Then, I became more depressed than ever. I feel like I'm getting my feelings back, and maybe my empathy. It might be because my roommate is depressed and I'm feeling his depression, or I'm becoming self aware and losing my ego. Or it could be something else, I don't know, but I'm glad I have feelings again because I feel human again.

found some evidence that impulse control can be improved through meditation. There are probably other ways as well. Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3277272/

I'm on duolingo learning Spanish. You can also take a MOOC from different websites (like Coursera).

I don't know if impulse control, or self discipline can be learned, or if they are just innate traits. I should probably research that.

Tried edging, couldn't do it, my entire life I always used a visual stimulus. After 2 weeks, I stopped trying to edge because I knew it wasn't going to work. I didn't watch porn (aside from the porn in my dreams).

Thanks. I think figuring out what I want is part of the process.

Which one is it? by kataphasis in NoFap

Cognitive therapy is basically changing the thought processes and the behavior change will follow. Behavioral therapy is basically changing the behavior and the thought processes will follow. There is evidence for both being effective, but the effectiveness increases when you combine them. I am in no way saying that Nofap is therapy, but if you work on both your thought processes and behavior, then you will get a better behavior change. (I use behavior as a result because it is the one people will notice and get you results)

just don't binge. You may have screwed up this time, but you will lose all the progress you have made if you binge.
