What do you guys do when you're sad? Just curious, I figured

Meditation and working out
Trust me meditation works, it's not a meme

I did the same things I just hope that someone would find me and pull me out of this shithole
Meditation once got a mental breakdown doing because my life is shit

Add nofap into there and you've got the enlightenment combo. Top stuff. I study like never before, sometimes with an otherworldly rage.

I did nofap for two weeks and the only thing I noticed is my sex drive died and I felt more neutral towards things. It's tough because I'm ADDICTED to fapping, do it at least 1-2 times a day. It's hard getting started, like telling myself "Okay don't fap today." and then trying to go a week without touching my dick is just hard.

I caved after 2 weeks because I got really horny one night and couldn't stand it anymore.

I fix it. When I was sad because I was lonely, I modified my behavior and studied my ass off to try and impress women enough to want to go on a date with me. Failed a lot at first.

When I was depressed because my job didn't give me much of a sense of accomplishment, despite being well-paying, I picked up a hobby. Tried woodworking, sucked at it. Focused on cooking, got good at it.

When you're sad, its due to a problem. Most of the time, the problem is solvable (only exceptions I can think of are fatal diseases/death). Fix the problem, fix the sadness.

meditation has a structural impact on your brain that's measurable by neuroimagining. google something like: meditation fmri. it teaches you how to let thoughts come and go without dwelling on them. it's a great thing if you have depression or anxiety, because your brain tends to go into overdrive overthinking the smallest bullshit and learning how to turn thinking off is useful as fuck so you don't make yourself feel like complete shit.

I have stopped watching porn but nofap is still a issue for me

but i have reduced to 2 or 3 times a week from 3 times a day
hopefully i will be able to stop fapping too

You don't have to nofap, just do it once or twice a week and it'll work like it should.

doing it 1 to 2 times a day will just murder you.

People these days just wanna go for extremes, but something middle of the road works just fine.

Literally no reason not to fap as much as you want, other than conforming to the pressure of a puritanical pleasure-hating society. Might as well sleep on the floor, only eat nuts and seeds, throw your PC and TV out. Instead of fapping, you'll just spend that time refreshing your phone you fucking troglo.

Hey now, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the concept of nofap. If it works for some people then I won't judge them for doing it, some people have claimed it made them feel better in general. Others said it did nothing for them, I guess the results vary.

I believe it's not for everyone.

noporn is more important than nofap.
Nofap is largely a meme (fap in moderation but you dont need to stop and if youre not getting sex stopping is bad) but porn damages you mind so you shouldnt watch it.

I just wait it out and try to keep myshit together, but it never really leaves

>>35349408
Absolutely listen to this anon if you want to wallow in your own filth.
Nothing wrong with fapping but going in the other extreme and indulge in your every desire is a surefire way to never try to discipline or improve yourself.

>pleasure-hating society

Do we live in the same world ? Last I checked our society is enabling hedonistic behaviors more and more and also becoming less puritanical and religious at the same time.
