>After I gave up heroin cold turkey I progressively started getting more depressed than I ever was before.Please help.

That's normal.Your brain is becoming accustomed to what it means to not be a porn addict.

I would recommend you get out of the house and go to a library or a cafe and read something or go to the cinema and watch a movie all alone, etc.

Take long walks in nature.

I'm here with you. I think I'm at 2 weeks? I've started and stopped so many times that I don't even count days anymore. Now I use landmarks to keep track of where I am. Depression and spontaneous crying is part of the process. Recognize that part of the condition is just electrochemical, and part of it is genuine dissatisfaction with your life. This genuine dissatisfaction is the whole reason you started NoFap.

Search your feelings for that bit of truth. That truth is what you hide from with PMO and alcohol, etc. You will achieve victory when you recognize that truth and address it directly.

I would argue that you were already depressed but the constant dopamine release was masking your symptoms and they were harder to notice. A sorta uncommon symptom of depression is heightened/hyper sexual activity. Your brain wants the chemical and knows it can get a rush from that activity, so it puts chemical pressure on you to oblige it with pm.

Once you abstain, you start to realize that your brain hasn't been producing enough of it on it's own to begin with, and that you were reaching normal levels of the chemical from tugging it.

That's what was up with me anyways. Give it time though, you could just be going through a flatline

Sorry, and what did you do about it? Just treated it like depression?

I'm actually four months in. I probably should've mentioned that.

Day 100- Suicidal thoughts came back after they were gone for about a year. Pretty much accepted I'll be alone for the rest of my life. Nofap is a meme, it doesn't fix anything.

It's part of the course. Fapping fogs the mind and clearing it up will bring out true feeling.

The answer is to find a way to fix the things making you depressed, not fall into the trap of covering it up.

It's going to be okay if you try.

>>11325

It's a matter of what you are trying to cultivate in yourself. Nofap is not the miracle cure to becoming a demigod. It is a very important, but still just, a part of self improvement.

If you have not cultivated whiting yourself and in your daily routine, the will and steps to achieving that which you want to reach, you will not make it and nothing else will.

To you too, you will make it if you try. It is never to late to struggle.

Good luck.
