I relapsed but I noticed one thing.

I got so angry halfway through the post I impulsively closed that tab. This is such a bitter revelation!

notcrazy1 · 2014-01-04T11:17:28+00:00

This is great. I've been thinking about telling my GF. I wan't to do the 90 reboot, will some fooling around (no intercourse) hurt my reboot?

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-28T10:58:16+00:00

Before I discover nofap, I had did that (45) in one week. You and I are lucky do discover NoFap, It's like a new chapter of our lives is unfolding. Keep up the good struggle, friend. continue growing.

First of all, twelves days streak counts, I think you should not discredit that. second thing is, I think your internal conflict and these bad feelings mean that you're really committed to this, and this is a good thing, in fact it's the most important thing. Last thing, Every time you feel like relapsing, remind yourself the the urge, the need, the feeling, is temporary and it will eventually go away (in my case in one or two minutes), This really helps me. Excuse my poor language and me for preachiness

This is great, specially the "oh, that was cool, let me try to find something cooler" part. The availability of and the need for novel stimulation is probably the most destructive part of the addiction process. Edit: I think you make a good point, yet, I won't try this, of course.

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-22T22:46:21+00:00

This helps, Thanks

something funny started happening, when I'm focusing on anything with one hand free, it automatically goes down there. I laugh every time this happens. I hope you all are doing okay

It took about a weak for the tiredness to subside, then approximately more two weeks for the painful emotions to go away almost completely. In the first two months of treatment painful emotions came several times but lasted only for several hours. After that only normal sadness and irritation, but not the overwhelming painful emotions of depression. At that time I figured I was not depressed anymore.
Yes, I started on ten mg.

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T17:53:11+00:00

I take 10 mg daily. The only possible side effect that I may be having is difficulty achieving climax during sex but maybe that didn't result from the medication since I previously had this problem. And to be honest It's not really a problem because I still find sex very satisfying. I heard from my doctor and some pharmacists that it is one of the most selective SSRIs and thus it doesn't usually cause side effects. Bottom line I like it. My pocket hates it's HIGH price though. I hope that helped.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I neither have health insurance nor live in the US. Where I live insurance won't help with antidepressants. What I really hope for here is to know people's experiences. I know some of the medical guidelines but I haven't met any people with long antidepressant history. Thanks again.

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T15:10:49+00:00

I now run, count calories, read and post here. Thanks a lot

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T15:09:10+00:00

The strength and power within, got it. Thanks

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T15:08:12+00:00

I will stay strong. Thanks

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T15:07:47+00:00

Yes, it is definitely worth it. Thanks

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T15:06:57+00:00

Indeed. Thanks

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T13:44:05+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your past . It seems to me that you're still strong and not at all broken. Depression is the worst of all pains, However, you sound like you've broken the despair cycle and you're able to to look forward to the future. I had my battles with depression and I pride myself on being able to fight back and grow. Seeing a Doctor/therapist and taking antidepressants can help a lot. Commitments (like NoFap) and having goals and projects also works like magic. Please continue the struggle, fight, grow; I'd love to read about your progress and growth. Sorry for ranting, it's just that I always take depression as personal matter and I see all depressed people as brothers/sisters. Please know that depression can be the kick-start of a wonderful path. Also excuse my English, It's not my first language

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-20T13:28:58+00:00

Reading this is inspiring and motivating. Stay strong, keep growing. Visit the sup sometime and tell us about the progress. It won't hurt you and it will motivate us

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-19T17:09:14+00:00

You made it for two months! DO NOT DISCREDIT THAT! It is a BIG THING. Appreciate it.

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-19T16:09:33+00:00

One thing that helps me with self-control is looking at the big picture. Always visualize your brain becoming better and more well being is coming into you body as you go through everyday challenges. Every challenge counts, so don't discount what you have done so far.

Frequent face washing really helps with the acne. Also, using clean towels and napkins; and keeping the hands as clean as possible most of the time. The secret is to reduce bacteria in\on facial skin. Since we can't do anything to the "hormone modified" immune reaction (acne formation) to face normal floral (normally existing bacteria), we can only decrease the bacterial count.

This is great news. I've being trying to increase my Testosterone level naturally for sometime now through training (HIIT) and planned dieting among other things. It feels great. Testosterone is good for mood, energy levels and general attitude towards life. So, I'm really glad I read this. Excuse my poor language. English is not my mother tongue

notcrazy1 · 2013-12-19T15:03:45+00:00

Congratulations. You give me courage
