David Hammond hey I think that you are right my bro 🔥, it's like 2 months now and I isolated my self from every one, I wonder why, well your conclusion is right, I ust to jerk like ten times a day or more so I guess my dopamine is way low.
I think being sober and on no fap brings you face to face with loneliness and boredom, which is very uncomfortable if you’ve been numbing those feelings for a long time. But you can use that restlessness to motivate yourself to go out and form real connections and relationships instead of sating your desires with artificial and damaging pleasures
@@fepethepenguin8287 I agree that meditation and mindfulness are key if you’re trying to master your life force / sexual energy. Also, I think it’s good to transmute your sexual energy towards work, success, creativity. I don’t want a relationship with a girl currently, but just cuz I’m single doesn’t mean I should fritter away my life force fapping. I can use that energy for self development. Or just let the energy / restlessness be without worrying about it
I've isolated myself when started nofap. Feeling sad is real and i was depressed don't fight with depression it will come and go by itself.I am on a 40day streak
No fap benefit in life Less anger with people around Less emotional with women Increased pain bearing capability in exercise Less depressed when you look at yourself in front of mirror. Increased focus on your activities
When you finally come out of this type of depression, does it feel like you’ve woken up from a dream? Do you think back and wonder to yourself, where the fuck did the last X amount of time to?
I deal with both depression and anxiety and I believe it's due to this addiction to porn. I am new to this journey of taking back control of myself and life. I can't wait to finally see the positive benefits of it. Guys don't be ashamed of being aware you have an addiction we can all do this and gain our lives back and break the addiction
I quit porn and weed 3 week ago and was super depressed for like almost 3 weeks long, even looked up how to kill myself. I just couldn't be happy even if I tried so hard.. But now I feel great af! So fukin weird lol.
"I can't wait to finally see the positive benefits of it. " Bro, be aware and careful how you formulate your thoughts and words. Though this might look like a positive statement, the mind interprets is as negative. There is not difference for the mind between "I can't get out of depression" and "I can't wait to see results", they are both limiting and they will shape your actions during everyday life. Replace these thoughts and words with positive ones like "I am very close to seeing life-changing results", or whatever 'clicks' to you and observe the difference in how you view the world from then onward. Cheers!
Each guy has a different timetable. Just keep making progress a day at a time. One day will turn into two days. A week will turn into a month, and so on. Focus on becoming the best you that you can be, and on your long-term healing.
7 days into no fap. Not only am I feeling the ‘depression’ stage. But 2 months ago I also went through a pretty tough break up. This channel is doing wonders for me. Best thing to happen all year was finding this 🙌🏼
I agree completely and whole heartedly Ive been meditating (wim hof) for 8 months now and it’s finally gotten me off nicotine and hopefully it helps me continue my no fap journey (day 3 wish me luck) I truely think it’s life changing stuff
Meditation helps you reorganize your thoughts. Itll help you focus on your goals. You need to clear your mind everyday or else you'll forget what your goal was and why you were even attempting no fap in the first place. There are a lot of videos on how to change your life around and be motivated and successful but no one tells you how to maintain those thoughts and that's where Meditation comes into play. It keeps you focused on your goals. It clears the bs from your mind.
Mate you keep saying that you look tired, but you literally look radiant! Also, thanks for the video! I’m about a week into my no fap journey and definitely struggling with the mood. Glad to hear it’s all part of the normal reset. Need to keep doing what I’m doing!
What I notice is most of my depression hits at night, so do something that makes you be ready to go to sleep before that surge of depression hits. I like working out and hiking
I'm on day 10, never got so far in my life, I feel so good, what you're saying it's true, depression really got me, but only for a while, I feel so happy and productive right now! Thank you for making these videos, keep inspiring people to do and feel their best!
Hey David it’s your assistant, I’m on day 5 and feeling out the roof today. Secret it to literally forget. Like play basketball or hang out with friends literally don’t be isolated
Logan Striker He meant “secret is to literally forget”. When you stop thinking about nofap, that is when your streak starts lasting longer. Good luck bro!
I'm almost one week in to my no fap journey and I have felt a pretty intense depression/loneliness. I woke up at 3am feeling intense sadness and utilised breath work to help bring me into the present, it took 20 minutes and I started to feel much better. I can also recomend shaking your body, its a great way to release emotional trauma, its how animals heal from traumatic experiences, an ability we were conditioned out of because its seen as "weak". Hang in there, im with you.
Huge like brother!! Really needed this video, i’ve been dealing with these negative withdrawal symptoms and they feel absolutely terrible!! My brain always makes every excuse in the book to go back. So for you brother, these bad side effects of pmo are always and will always be there so my advice would be stay where you are! Cheers and thank you!
I'm feeling pretty flatline rn I'm about 2 weeks in and most days are great. Today is meh not bad not good, however it's important to realize that having good days everyday is not fucking normal. If youre feeling gray, remember gray is an achromatic color, but it is still a color. It's the middle ground contrast to the highs and lows of life. This is all in my worldview though, but if it helps, it helps 🤷♂️
I totally agree. I'm personally a pleasure seeking individual. Quitting anything that gives you pleasure is going to give you a withdrawal. Slow and steady wins the race. Its important to replace the dopamine with something else. Like fitness breathing techniques, feeling accomplished about goals or personal growth. Fasting has been a huge part of starting to discipline myself and has transcended to other addictions I had like playing video games, sugary food, impulsive drug use and of course fapping. Good luck everyone. Keep your self journey going. " once you've experienced pleasure to its fullest extent the only thing you can get a kick out of is pain"- Alan Watts
The exact video which I was looking out for .I am on 86 day of no fap I do my regular work out , no smoke, no drink. I do meditation as well but down the line sometimes I feel depressed, worried but after watching this video I have got my answers
Been a chronic PMO since about 14, I’m 24 now. I’m on day 32 and it’s been real rough I couldn’t make it to work today the depression and irritable ness was so bad. I can feel all sorts of aches and sensations in my head that are new to me reminding me it is doing something up there, who knows how long it’s gonna take but I’m striving for 90days, come on guys let’s make a choice for a better life overall and not a quick fix that leaves us in a hole afterwards
Don’t be an idiot. Nofap is a placebo. Porn is bad, but masturbation is natural and orgasming regularly is important for reproductive health. There is no evidence jerking off is bad for you
Bro I feel you. We as guys are all working hard. Please bro, do not give in. Keep fighting. We are with you and I can personally say there's something so great on the other side. Just keep at it. We are all fighting this battle with you
@@rw4877 thank you man I’ve only just seen this after all this time. I’m still here kept relapsing but in a real bad place but this comment gave me something i needed so thank you 🙏🏼 can I ask how you feel once you come out the other end of the depression?
@Mark Shteyn Definitely! For me I was doing "it" multiple times a day every day... I noticed a huge host of changes Much happier for the smallest of reasons More confidence when talking to others More Presence in conversation. Better ability to feel emotions Obviously benefits depend on how bad the addiction is.
@Viktor ya with nofap and cold showers and meditation I dont care about small things also my testosterone in the gym is insane with my legs seeing huge improvement. I wake up earlier ready to get shit done. I see beauty in small things in nature The list goes on bro
How to overcome that depressed feeling: FIND SOMETHING TO DO, SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. SOMETHING THAT CAN BENEFIT YOUR OWN GROWTH IN A LONG RUN! DON'T JUST SIT THERE AND DO NOTHING!! 💪
The withdrawal symptoms are supposedly cause you stopped doing it, but i like to think that it's happening because i got myself accustomed to it to begin with. The time you're most depressed and thinking about relapsing, is the moment you started nofap for. The reason you start nofap is to get through that, because that's the worst of it, and if you get past it, nothing form then on can stop you.
Love your videos helped me so much. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Since I’ve been doing no fap I have felt some much better and my depression had seemed to disappear. Cheers bro keep up the videos
I was depressed for a lot of my teenage years and didn’t really come to the realization that I was until I started this journey. I’ve been retaining for around 3 months now and I’m not going to lie it can get really hard and some days you feel very depressed but I pushed through those days and I feel like I’m finally on top again. 🙌🏼💪🏼
@@kotresh Of course! Just learn from my mistakes eat healthy everyday, exercise and listen to the messages your brain tells you! If you like to meditate this can help with the signs that the universe is giving you. Whenever you feel an urge I would simply start doing push-ups to distract myself from it. Also being in the places that you used to Spill your seed can be a comfortable place and may subconsciously activate that part of you that used to fap. Also try not to count days and get to over obsessed make it part of your lifestyle!! I hope this helped! 💪🏼
@@brennanramirez8473 it really helps. Tq so much brother,much love😊 but I also have one doubt, I meditate and exercise daily, actually I had to go through a trauma 6months ago which put me into severe depression and anxiety, actually that is what made me try nofap and meditation,as i thought that it could help me with my depression and anxiety, but it's only recently that I'm able to abstain for weeks,like 12or 15day streaks. Now my doubt is that aftet practicing these things I feel like I'm growing spiritually (just a little bit for now) and I feel like it's making me more and more loving towards everyone, I feel like treating everyone(god,people and even enemies) with pure love and innocence. But in contrast to this nature practicing nofap should make me feel more like a *Man* ,more blunt,more arrogant towards my enemies. I'm stuck I don't know how to be, with that loving nature I'm having rn I might even forgive the people who caused me trauma and even treat them with love (actually the people i loved back then caused me the trauma only thinking about their well-being and not giving a fuck about what i felt), i don't know what to do. I don't know how should i feel, i don't know how should i behave(I can be both "the stud" as well as the "loving one") but I can choose be only either one of them, not both. Advices will be very much appreciated☺️. thank you
@@kotresh I'm sorry for the trauma you had to go through to get to this place you're at now. Listen like I said don't count your days. I used to struggle with this as well but now after almost a year of retaining I've naturally stopped counting days. Seems like you're receieving some benefits but there is no right or wrong way to behave so to say. Everyone has there own morals and beliefs. I personally like to treat people with respect no matter who they are but if you do something that is disrespectful I naturally ignore that person and pretend they don't matter because in reality they don't matter. We don't need negativity in our lives and I don't like giving energy towards negative entities because in the end we are who we surround ourselves with and we feed off of other peoples energy. I'm a naturally very quiet natured person and when I finally have a chance to open up its because I feel I can trust that person. I've always been like this and it makes it a whole lot easier for me to not focus on pleasing others or letting anyone into my space and disrespect my character. Things that helped me on this journey the most is when I do watch youtube videos it's usually aimed towards what I can benefit from ie. business, self development, exercising, positivity, motivational speakers you name it. Also building good habits such as reading, journaling (this is good to start to understand your thought patterns) also planning out my day before I start it and finally positive affirmations to resist the negativity. At the end of the day no one is perfect we all struggle we all have doubts and are all lost at some point but I have faith that you will find yourself on this journey and learn to forgive your past self for any self sabotage you may have caused. I send vibrations of peace and intuition to you my friend!
you're not depressed...you're just thinking you're depressed..and feelings are temporary The more you focus the more you get,the less you focus the less you get
Wow yeah feelings are temporary tell that to those who have super severe depression when their feelings are not valid, that it is just because they think they are depressed that they are depressed, and that those feelings are temporary wtf seriously how dumb are you people? Just focus the more you get will somehow solve depression? Dude stop spreading lies that does not based on science and psychology studies. The whole world, the whole community of scientists and psychologists are going to laugh and say to you that you are just an uneducated person
I'm 1 year sober and 60 days into nofap. The flatlines been tough. Just coming out of it (i think) I feel like I'm re learning what it is to be a person ha.
I have started to do this and I really feel the depression kicking in. I’m in day 11. Man it sucks. Does anyone feel like their minds shut off also ? I feel like I’m starting to not remember stuff . Is this normal ?
I just relapsed yesterday on a 16 day streak, and I was really confused the whole time during that streak and wondering if Nofap even works. When I relapsed I also thought that maybe just masturbating was ok, but watching porn isn't. Which is partially true, but only after you've fully recovered as far as I know. After watching this video, everything just clicked. Thank you man, you've really helped me and put that coal in the fire for me. This will be my longest streak yet
Yeah been feeling more sad and depressed while on nofap SR. Recently surpassed day 90 and how I view women is so much different. I no longer crave women's attention or desire to care at all of she's starring/gazing directly at me. (can even notice it through my peripheral vision) Maybe having too much attention is brining me down? I'm constantly manifestating money, job and my purpose over relationship/girls. I'm more focused than ever before. It feels exhausting getting starred at constantly and I always move quick to avoid them striking a conversation. My face is more dull looking now (or confident looking like IDGAF face) when they see me but to them it just don't matter. They keep staring. Before nofap I would still get flirtatious looks at the gym, stores, market etc. & wouldn't mind since it wasn't so "emphasized". But now it's overwhelming. I guess what I truly want now is an intimate connection. I want true love and not just a fling. I'm manifesting to find a high value women who takes care of herself, isn't at gyms or partying. I'm TIRED! What's worst, I'm a member society of #RedPill and know how women are. In this modern age, it's almost impossible to find the "right one". Life sucks.
Notes 📝 If you started the Nofap journey especially hard model and have noticed depressive feelings this video may help. NoFap is like withdrawing from any other addiction. David is saying this is a natural process as it is a brain imbalance. You will feel a flatline, this may happen as you may not be used to the long time of not getting that dopamine rush. Because you are not attaining this dopamine rush your brain is trying to find a homeostasis. The process of taking the dopamine receptors may take a while.
I used to PMO 2-3 times a day and I smoke weed and drink 3 times a week. I'm starting with nofap hoping it'll help with the other addictions because I have an addictive personality lol I'm on day 29! Needed to hear this because I definitely have no motivation and kinda depressed right now. Thank you!
Whoever puts us on this planet has some sick humor..lowkey digging it. Adopting the spartan mindset knowing I can handle it abd my brain is rewiring. Win/win
It's just day 5 and I feel sick, my muscle is weak. I can't do exercise. I'm just sitting in my chair suffering. Is this is also the sign that I have flatline even if it's too early?
Thank you. I really couldn't understand why I've been upset recently, especially when I'm starting to get the upper hand on this addiction. Now I finally get it.
I have been having flatline for 160 days now and the reason why it has lasted so long is because not only have I gave up porn( a habit with a lot of dopamine release), but also I got injured and cant workout(i was working out since i was a kid). So my brain is now trying to adapt to these stimulation and except from depression, I also have 0 sex drive, my d*ck is shortened, I feel cold down there and when my flatline is very deep I dont feel happy by anything and would do anything for a small dosage of dopamine. But now my brain is rebooting and can finally enjoy music as I used to before, i have more motivation to do things and generally I'm more happy with simpler things. So if you are at the same road as me dont give up it will all be worth it. We are all gonna make it💪💯
I never thought of NoFap withdrawal to cause depression like drug withdrawal. Thank you for this insight bro, I have been clean from drugs 2 months. As I felt better I also quit PMO, day 14 and right now it feels as it did when I quit drugs! It will get better!!!
Thank you brother. This is the video I was looking for. I was beginning to have some really bad thoughts but now i know its just my brain is trying to recover.
i am on 100 days of nofap. I feel very stressed, burned out. I have no motivation for life. I feel very exhausted. My work sucks because i spend there all day its job as storeman. The thing is why i managed to get through so many days was meditation, also i stop to eat sugar because i was addicted to it. I stopped to play pc games. I thing PC games are connected to fapping. I read motivation book from sadghuru. For a while it helped me and i felt inner peace but now the loneliness hit me very hard. I dont know why but i dont have motivation and strenght to talk to women and find new friends. I started to attend yoga classes but because of my work i cannot attend it properly. I hope i can go through this guys. I hope i will find motivation again.
Guys, go for hyper ventilating breathing exercises (pranayama), it works even better than meditation (dhayana), both of them are limbs of Yoga. Go for Art of Living Happiness course and learn the Sudarshan Kriya, it’s the best way to vent out the lag energy and renew the system day in and day out, another option is the Wim Hof Method. Tried and tested, best of luck guys ❤️
Masturbating is not going to make you feel better. Quitting the habit won't make you feel better because you will crave it. But praying, asking god to fill your heart with his presence and the holy spirit it what I've found works the best. My lust went away and I have also gave up other harmful habits as a "side effect". But you have to be 100 percent faithful to god. May god bless you dear reader.
I am on week 3, beginning to feel severe depression and being very emotional at times. But then I meditate and do Wim hof, and I´m in balance again. VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEBER. - To meditate - And IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN HELL RIGHT NOW(WITH DEPRESSION/ANXIETY)... JUST KEEP GOING.
Day 5: the urges are getting extremely stronger day by day. Funny thing is I only feel the urges when I'm at home. And recently I had a wet dream. It felt so real and seems to have given my brain the reward it needed.
Day 30 and feeling kinda bummed out. I think it's the quarantine but not sure. I work out every single day for at least 2 hours. Eat healthy. Get good sleep. Idk. Maybe have to start working out 4 hrs a day. No desire whatsoever for females tho. It's crazy, not one single thought, EVER. So that's not a problem for me. Just keep pushing forward
The first 3 weeks I felt a substancial boost in confidence but now in week 5 I feel depressed, still have motivation for the gym but nothing else really. And I find myself craving sweets and savory meals instead of the healthy meals I should be eating. Must be since I’m not getting the dopamine from pmo
Merci d'en avoir parlé mec, sa me rassure beaucoup et aussi je vais me sentir mieux grâce à toi. J'étais rentré en dépression sans raison claire ce qui m'a fait penser à tout mes problèmes donc j'étais vraiment très mal... Merci
I’m almost at 1.5 months. def feeling the loneliness and anxiety the past two or so weeks. It’s crazy the high that you initially experience when quitting! Then it’s a bit of a roller coaster after about a month. I understand I’m still very early on in the journey. This video was reassuring.
Man ,I have been going through a relapse cycle due to loneliness.I tried having a social life but no one seems interested to hold conversations.I try to go to parks to see people but still a lonely existence on nofap.Any guidance would be appreciated.Feels like a vacuum and nothing's happening in life.
This vid helped me so much I was so confused because I didn’t know what flatlining was and I thought that I was just losing the benefits for some reasons and going back 2 depression
Very thanks hammond I am from india started no fap. Felt heavily depressed and hopeless. By watching your video it's like ok. But sometimes I feel like horrible because I don't know what to comment but 1 thing lot of changes occurred in my body itself I was lean now I am like straight body. heavy changes for body. By watching your vid gived me peace. Thanks for your vid.
im in day 11 and im experiencing this low and depressive mood and loneliness. And i got scared and dissapointed because i few days ago i felt completely different, probably what they all call the one week state. So im trying to find some proof that this is natural and i need some patience and support
I am in about 2 weeks ( not really counting ) first week was awesome. Now the sucking started ( not in a good way ) hold out for atleast a month! Flatline will go away
Went into semen retention and had the same feelings. Lasted about a 8-9 days till today. Was really into my polarity and it was setting this new woman off at work. Alot of sexual tension there. Took an ice shower after work and it was over. Pop goes the gasket. I felt the energy build up leave a little bit. But i used tai chi and proper foods too already begin regenerating the life force. I still have the SR benefits tho. Well. I still hold the habits i developed during the journey. Stopped weed and cigs. Eating healthier. Way more exercise. Reading books again. And all the above. Just the "OOMPH" will take 2-3 days too get back. And im gonna work 14 days now. Setbacks are just baby steps. Be gentle yet disciplined af
Hey bro i think i hitted the flatline today on day 9 everything seems to be falling and it seems like im going back to my last year depression, its probably my brain telling me thats its not worth it continuing unfortunately for him i dont listen
Do not listen to your brain our brains are actually not as smart as we think they are, i mean, in some cases they surely are but in others they sre just following the nature , witch in this case they are craving for that dopamine hit so bad that they don't care where they get it from even if it's from porn.
Porn and masturbation is also a form of self-medication... So when people eliminate porn and masturbation, the self-medicating behaviour, what happens is that what they were medicating themselves from (Usually feeling shitty/insecure/bored/numb etc) in some form or another starts to surface and presents itself to us. This is when we slip and either start to feel depressed or we dive straight back into the old habit to numb ourselves to the feelings that we're running from... For anyone that's read the book, you probably already know, but I highly recommend The Presence Process by Michael Brown for anybody struggling with this, depression, or any other addiction/emotional numbness/depression/anxiety... The book and the process it guides you through has the capacity to be life-changing. Highly recommend it.
@@kylesapphire1820 Hey man. I’m exactly the same now. After 2 days I was like wtf is happening why do I feel this way. Also I’ve been unable to hit the gym because of an injury. So I suspect this depression is from not being able to workout or really play video games (used to doing both on the daily) and also stopping fapping I’ve just felt shit and depressed. Haven’t really had mental problems before so this has scared me. What did you do or how did it turn out for you? Edit: I’m 6 days in now and thinking about relapsing in hopes of feeling better. Thoughts?

Depression comes from living in the past & anxiety in the future
Therefore *Live in the Present*
depends it can be lack of dopamine
And drugs
Not only from them its mostly comes when you don't like yourself with how you look
bullshit, depression can come from a dark and hopeless perspective of future
I've isolated myself when started nofap. Feeling sad is real and i was depressed don't fight with depression it will come and go by itself.I am on a 40day streak

Also, thanks for the video! I’m about a week into my no fap journey and definitely struggling with the mood. Glad to hear it’s all part of the normal reset. Need to keep doing what I’m doing!
Stithapragnya yes my man! You got this, keep going and it’ll become a lifestyle! ❤️😊
What I notice is most of my depression hits at night, so do something that makes you be ready to go to sleep before that surge of depression hits. I like working out and hiking
I'm on day 10, never got so far in my life, I feel so good, what you're saying it's true, depression really got me, but only for a while, I feel so happy and productive right now!
Thank you for making these videos, keep inspiring people to do and feel their best!
Keep going , it’s tuff but worth it . #DontChoke
Hows it going brother?
Hey David it’s your assistant, I’m on day 5 and feeling out the roof today. Secret it to literally forget. Like play basketball or hang out with friends literally don’t be isolated
Haroon Captures facts brother !
Logan Striker He meant “secret is to literally forget”. When you stop thinking about nofap, that is when your streak starts lasting longer. Good luck bro!
I'm almost one week in to my no fap journey and I have felt a pretty intense depression/loneliness. I woke up at 3am feeling intense sadness and utilised breath work to help bring me into the present, it took 20 minutes and I started to feel much better. I can also recomend shaking your body, its a great way to release emotional trauma, its how animals heal from traumatic experiences, an ability we were conditioned out of because its seen as "weak". Hang in there, im with you.
Huge like brother!! Really needed this video, i’ve been dealing with these negative withdrawal symptoms and they feel absolutely terrible!! My brain always makes every excuse in the book to go back.
So for you brother, these bad side effects of pmo are always and will always be there so my advice would be stay where you are! Cheers and thank you!
uncle fester cheers homie you got this let’s keep going! 😊
You have incredible charisma. I'm learning to speak to break out of my introverted comfort zone. I thoroughly enjoy you videos.
I'm feeling pretty flatline rn I'm about 2 weeks in and most days are great. Today is meh not bad not good, however it's important to realize that having good days everyday is not fucking normal. If youre feeling gray, remember gray is an achromatic color, but it is still a color. It's the middle ground contrast to the highs and lows of life. This is all in my worldview though, but if it helps, it helps 🤷♂️
Plant food/ vegan food vegetable helps
I totally agree. I'm personally a pleasure seeking individual. Quitting anything that gives you pleasure is going to give you a withdrawal. Slow and steady wins the race. Its important to replace the dopamine with something else. Like fitness breathing techniques, feeling accomplished about goals or personal growth. Fasting has been a huge part of starting to discipline myself and has transcended to other addictions I had like playing video games, sugary food, impulsive drug use and of course fapping. Good luck everyone. Keep your self journey going. " once you've experienced pleasure to its fullest extent the only thing you can get a kick out of is pain"- Alan Watts
Nofap brings up unresolved trauma’s. It is more an emotional battle that what is upsetting during nofap.
The exact video which I was looking out for .I am on 86 day of no fap I do my regular work out , no smoke, no drink. I do meditation as well but down the line sometimes I feel depressed, worried but after watching this video I have got my answers
Same to me , i am on day 80 , I feel so Depression and anxiety. But we ganna cross this 👍🏻💪
Been a chronic PMO since about 14, I’m 24 now. I’m on day 32 and it’s been real rough I couldn’t make it to work today the depression and irritable ness was so bad. I can feel all sorts of aches and sensations in my head that are new to me reminding me it is doing something up there, who knows how long it’s gonna take but I’m striving for 90days, come on guys let’s make a choice for a better life overall and not a quick fix that leaves us in a hole afterwards
Don’t be an idiot. Nofap is a placebo. Porn is bad, but masturbation is natural and orgasming regularly is important for reproductive health. There is no evidence jerking off is bad for you
Bro I feel you. We as guys are all working hard. Please bro, do not give in. Keep fighting. We are with you and I can personally say there's something so great on the other side. Just keep at it. We are all fighting this battle with you
Fapping cost my confidence...feeling lonely too...but i could still handle it just be discipline....it became habit
Im on day 35, Relapse cause I cant take the pain anymore. 😥 Next timw i would prepare for it, And Start to work it again today
@@rw4877 thank you man I’ve only just seen this after all this time. I’m still here kept relapsing but in a real bad place but this comment gave me something i needed so thank you 🙏🏼 can I ask how you feel once you come out the other end of the depression?
Yo, I feel you have so much value to share man. New subscriber here. Keep shining
Wid Meets Life 🙏🙏
Great video, I've gone 90 days no pmo but for the last month i've been struggling a little bit and this video was exactly what I needed!
shashaank srivastava YES man. So glad it could help. Keep going you got this! 👊
@Mark Shteyn Definitely! For me I was doing "it" multiple times a day every day... I noticed a huge host of changes
Much happier for the smallest of reasons
More confidence when talking to others
More Presence in conversation.
Better ability to feel emotions
Obviously benefits depend on how bad the addiction is.
Mark Shteyn 100%, id defs give it a shot!
I'm on day 13 insane improvements!
SWOLEDADDIES amazing. Make it a lifestyle you got this. 😊🤟
Viktor will make a video on nofap benefits soon! Cheers!
Nice! I’m on day like 12 almost released a few minutes ago
@Viktor ya with nofap and cold showers and meditation I dont care about small things also my testosterone in the gym is insane with my legs seeing huge improvement. I wake up earlier ready to get shit done. I see beauty in small things in nature
The list goes on bro
@@tylerwalters9767 I am on a 7 day streak and this is exactly what I am experiencing!!
Thank you for your time. I truly appreciate it. You never looked tired man. Super lively and handsome! 👍🏼
How to overcome that depressed feeling: FIND SOMETHING TO DO, SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. SOMETHING THAT CAN BENEFIT YOUR OWN GROWTH IN A LONG RUN! DON'T JUST SIT THERE AND DO NOTHING!! 💪
The withdrawal symptoms are supposedly cause you stopped doing it, but i like to think that it's happening because i got myself accustomed to it to begin with. The time you're most depressed and thinking about relapsing, is the moment you started nofap for. The reason you start nofap is to get through that, because that's the worst of it, and if you get past it, nothing form then on can stop you.
Love your videos helped me so much. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Since I’ve been doing no fap I have felt some much better and my depression had seemed to disappear. Cheers bro keep up the videos
Thanks Dave. This explains a lot.
Emmanuel Owolabi am amazing man. #keepgrowing !
I was depressed for a lot of my teenage years and didn’t really come to the realization that I was until I started this journey. I’ve been retaining for around 3 months now and I’m not going to lie it can get really hard and some days you feel very depressed but I pushed through those days and I feel like I’m finally on top again. 🙌🏼💪🏼
Bro did u see any benefits of nofap?
@@kotresh Of course! Just learn from my mistakes eat healthy everyday, exercise and listen to the messages your brain tells you! If you like to meditate this can help with the signs that the universe is giving you. Whenever you feel an urge I would simply start doing push-ups to distract myself from it. Also being in the places that you used to Spill your seed can be a comfortable place and may subconsciously activate that part of you that used to fap. Also try not to count days and get to over obsessed make it part of your lifestyle!!
I hope this helped! 💪🏼
@@brennanramirez8473 it really helps. Tq so much brother,much love😊
but I also have one doubt, I meditate and exercise daily, actually I had to go through a trauma 6months ago which put me into severe depression and anxiety, actually that is what made me try nofap and meditation,as i thought that it could help me with my depression and anxiety, but it's only recently that I'm able to abstain for weeks,like 12or 15day streaks. Now my doubt is that aftet practicing these things I feel like I'm growing spiritually (just a little bit for now) and I feel like it's making me more and more loving towards everyone, I feel like treating everyone(god,people and even enemies) with pure love and innocence. But in contrast to this nature practicing nofap should make me feel more like a *Man* ,more blunt,more arrogant towards my enemies.
I'm stuck I don't know how to be, with that loving nature I'm having rn I might even forgive the people who caused me trauma and even treat them with love (actually the people i loved back then caused me the trauma only thinking about their well-being and not giving a fuck about what i felt), i don't know what to do. I don't know how should i feel, i don't know how should i behave(I can be both "the stud" as well as the "loving one") but I can choose be only either one of them, not both.
Advices will be very much appreciated☺️. thank you
@@kotresh I'm sorry for the trauma you had to go through to get to this place you're at now. Listen like I said don't count your days. I used to struggle with this as well but now after almost a year of retaining I've naturally stopped counting days. Seems like you're receieving some benefits but there is no right or wrong way to behave so to say. Everyone has there own morals and beliefs.
I personally like to treat people with respect no matter who they are but if you do something that is disrespectful I naturally ignore that person and pretend they don't matter because in reality they don't matter. We don't need negativity in our lives and I don't like giving energy towards negative entities because in the end we are who we surround ourselves with and we feed off of other peoples energy.
I'm a naturally very quiet natured person and when I finally have a chance to open up its because I feel I can trust that person. I've always been like this and it makes it a whole lot easier for me to not focus on pleasing others or letting anyone into my space and disrespect my character. Things that helped me on this journey the most is when I do watch youtube videos it's usually aimed towards what I can benefit from ie. business, self development, exercising, positivity, motivational speakers you name it. Also building good habits such as reading, journaling (this is good to start to understand your thought patterns) also planning out my day before I start it and finally positive affirmations to resist the negativity. At the end of the day no one is perfect we all struggle we all have doubts and are all lost at some point but I have faith that you will find yourself on this journey and learn to forgive your past self for any self sabotage you may have caused.
I send vibrations of peace and intuition to you my friend!
Also I have a few TH-cam videos on my channel if you'd like to check them out I feel like some of your questions can be answered!!
you're not depressed...you're just thinking you're depressed..and feelings are temporary
The more you focus the more you get,the less you focus the less you get
Thats very bold tbh. "Just dont think about it". I wish bro
Wow yeah feelings are temporary
tell that to those who have super severe depression when their feelings are not valid, that it is just because they think they are depressed that they are depressed, and that those feelings are temporary
wtf seriously how dumb are you people?
Just focus the more you get will somehow solve depression? Dude stop spreading lies that does not based on science and psychology studies. The whole world, the whole community of scientists and psychologists are going to laugh and say to you that you are just an uneducated person
@@truongtranthaiduy8959 have you ever heard of spirituality, matrix, third eye?
@@rumba3401 Does that have anything related to this?
@@rumba3401 I don't believe in spirituality and religions bullshits give me facts
I'm 1 year sober and 60 days into nofap. The flatlines been tough. Just coming out of it (i think) I feel like I'm re learning what it is to be a person ha.
Luca Zavaglia I hear you man and congrats bro that’s amazing! Keep going. 🙏🔥
Try cold showers. They kill flatlines
Great White No, cold showers helps to
stop being horny. Cold showers can also give you a boost of dopamine. But it doesn’t kill the flatline. Liar.
I have started to do this and I really feel the depression kicking in. I’m in day 11. Man it sucks. Does anyone feel like their minds shut off also ? I feel like I’m starting to not remember stuff . Is this normal ?
This is completely normal man no worries. I especially experience the memory loss and pretty severe brain fog. It 100% gets better over time.
I am on the day 8
Feeling really depressed 😞
I too having this issue, it feels like very low energy level,boring and mind is numb
@@GauravKumar-zd6kn me too
I just relapsed yesterday on a 16 day streak, and I was really confused the whole time during that streak and wondering if Nofap even works. When I relapsed I also thought that maybe just masturbating was ok, but watching porn isn't. Which is partially true, but only after you've fully recovered as far as I know. After watching this video, everything just clicked. Thank you man, you've really helped me and put that coal in the fire for me. This will be my longest streak yet
I've heard about this topic, but I've never heard any other TH-camr explain it like this. Thanks, I needed this words.
WHAT ? you dont look tired at all, you look a lot more energized than I could ever be
hah cheers man :)
Simp
Yeah been feeling more sad and depressed while on nofap SR. Recently surpassed day 90 and how I view women is so much different. I no longer crave women's attention or desire to care at all of she's starring/gazing directly at me. (can even notice it through my peripheral vision)
Maybe having too much attention is brining me down? I'm constantly manifestating money, job and my purpose over relationship/girls. I'm more focused than ever before. It feels exhausting getting starred at constantly and I always move quick to avoid them striking a conversation. My face is more dull looking now (or confident looking like IDGAF face) when they see me but to them it just don't matter. They keep staring. Before nofap I would still get flirtatious looks at the gym, stores, market etc. & wouldn't mind since it wasn't so "emphasized". But now it's overwhelming. I guess what I truly want now is an intimate connection. I want true love and not just a fling. I'm manifesting to find a high value women who takes care of herself, isn't at gyms or partying. I'm TIRED! What's worst, I'm a member society of #RedPill and know how women are. In this modern age, it's almost impossible to find the "right one". Life sucks.
Notes 📝
If you started the Nofap journey especially hard model and have noticed depressive feelings this video may help.
NoFap is like withdrawing from any other addiction. David is saying this is a natural process as it is a brain imbalance. You will feel a flatline, this may happen as you may not be used to the long time of not getting that dopamine rush. Because you are not attaining this dopamine rush your brain is trying to find a homeostasis.
The process of taking the dopamine receptors may take a while.
I used to PMO 2-3 times a day and I smoke weed and drink 3 times a week. I'm starting with nofap hoping it'll help with the other addictions because I have an addictive personality lol I'm on day 29! Needed to hear this because I definitely have no motivation and kinda depressed right now. Thank you!
Whoever puts us on this planet has some sick humor..lowkey digging it. Adopting the spartan mindset knowing I can handle it abd my brain is rewiring. Win/win
It's just day 5 and I feel sick, my muscle is weak. I can't do exercise. I'm just sitting in my chair suffering. Is this is also the sign that I have flatline even if it's too early?
I just lost my job today ! 😅 And Im on the 5th day of no-fap! But I'm gonna go a long way!
Thats rough. It shows mettle to keep moving forward like that. Well wishes to you 🌄
Im sure you got a new job and doing well. Keep going.
Thank you David!.. this is important to talk about.
That is so true, on my 7day and i feel like crap, like an emptiness inside of me and i been trying to figure why? This make sence.
Makes a lot sense! Awesome video!
Brandon Grimes cheers my man. #keepgrowing
Thank you. I really couldn't understand why I've been upset recently, especially when I'm starting to get the upper hand on this addiction. Now I finally get it.
Bro I’m in week 1 and I feel so depressed! I don’t even want to think about what it feels like later😔
@@kylesapphire1820 I’m in the same position as you dude, how you holding up rn?
Good analysis. Good video. You don't look tired bro, you look good and talk well Infront of the camera.
I have been having flatline for 160 days now and the reason why it has lasted so long is because not only have I gave up porn( a habit with a lot of dopamine release), but also I got injured and cant workout(i was working out since i was a kid). So my brain is now trying to adapt to these stimulation and except from depression, I also have 0 sex drive, my d*ck is shortened, I feel cold down there and when my flatline is very deep I dont feel happy by anything and would do anything for a small dosage of dopamine. But now my brain is rebooting and can finally enjoy music as I used to before, i have more motivation to do things and generally I'm more happy with simpler things. So if you are at the same road as me dont give up it will all be worth it. We are all gonna make it💪💯
i am why you bro
Same bro
"Sorry I look tired guys"
*Literally looks like he's ready to give a Keynote and full of energy*
You have this innocence in your eyes. Depression is real, stay strong and be aware of your thoughts, you can control them
I never thought of NoFap withdrawal to cause depression like drug withdrawal. Thank you for this insight bro, I have been clean from drugs 2 months. As I felt better I also quit PMO, day 14 and right now it feels as it did when I quit drugs! It will get better!!!
Man you saved me truely ✌️
Thanks for the video. You're real keep going man
Very well explained. Learned a lot. Thank you so much 😁
We are all going to make it brah🔱
Thanks for this Man! Keep up the videos man! Great knowledge from you man!!🙏🙌😊😊
Man I tried numerous times this is hard. Thank you man for your videos they give me hope
I know man the flatline is no joke
Bro I'm like so depresswd because ei lost the girl I love man
Thank you brother. This is the video I was looking for. I was beginning to have some really bad thoughts but now i know its just my brain is trying to recover.
Thanks for talking specifically about this Brother !!
Seabrook Galan 100% man! Needs to be said. 🙏
its my day 30 i am on it, thanks for this video, it really helped me, cuz i was feeling really really empty.
Day 44. I am fine!
i am on 100 days of nofap. I feel very stressed, burned out. I have no motivation for life. I feel very exhausted. My work sucks because i spend there all day its job as storeman. The thing is why i managed to get through so many days was meditation, also i stop to eat sugar because i was addicted to it. I stopped to play pc games. I thing PC games are connected to fapping. I read motivation book from sadghuru. For a while it helped me and i felt inner peace but now the loneliness hit me very hard. I dont know why but i dont have motivation and strenght to talk to women and find new friends. I started to attend yoga classes but because of my work i cannot attend it properly. I hope i can go through this guys. I hope i will find motivation again.
Thankyou...
I needed this video more than anything
Guys, go for hyper ventilating breathing exercises (pranayama), it works even better than meditation (dhayana), both of them are limbs of Yoga. Go for Art of Living Happiness course and learn the Sudarshan Kriya, it’s the best way to vent out the lag energy and renew the system day in and day out, another option is the Wim Hof Method. Tried and tested, best of luck guys ❤️
Masturbating is not going to make you feel better. Quitting the habit won't make you feel better because you will crave it. But praying, asking god to fill your heart with his presence and the holy spirit it what I've found works the best. My lust went away and I have also gave up other harmful habits as a "side effect". But you have to be 100 percent faithful to god. May god bless you dear reader.
Thank you, I was so worried if I was the only one that had these feelings.
Yea I fucking hate myself and every interaction ive had with ppl all of the sudden
Extremely helpful dude.. dopamin is something one really should pay attention to
I am on week 3, beginning to feel severe depression and being very emotional at times. But then I meditate and do Wim hof, and I´m in balance again.
VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEBER.

- And IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN HELL RIGHT NOW(WITH DEPRESSION/ANXIETY)... JUST KEEP GOING.

Day 5: the urges are getting extremely stronger day by day. Funny thing is I only feel the urges when I'm at home. And recently I had a wet dream. It felt so real and seems to have given my brain the reward it needed.
I need a wet dream 😥😥😥
Dude it worked wonders on you man You look Great Bro!
first vid i watched of you, subscribed, today is day 1 of my journey
No fap cured my depression.
Day 30 and feeling kinda bummed out. I think it's the quarantine but not sure. I work out every single day for at least 2 hours. Eat healthy. Get good sleep. Idk. Maybe have to start working out 4 hrs a day. No desire whatsoever for females tho. It's crazy, not one single thought, EVER. So that's not a problem for me. Just keep pushing forward
The first 3 weeks I felt a substancial boost in confidence but now in week 5 I feel depressed, still have motivation for the gym but nothing else really. And I find myself craving sweets and savory meals instead of the healthy meals I should be eating. Must be since I’m not getting the dopamine from pmo
Day 68 on nofap.. And im feeling low since 4 days... Stay strong no fappers
So quitting beer and porn the same time is twice as hard!!! I’m feeling it week 4 holy F
Whenever I feel depressed I just nap for 1 or 2 hours. I skipped 2 days of workout because my energy is slowly depletting
This video is completely splendid.
Merci d'en avoir parlé mec, sa me rassure beaucoup et aussi je vais me sentir mieux grâce à toi.
J'étais rentré en dépression sans raison claire ce qui m'a fait penser à tout mes problèmes donc j'étais vraiment très mal... Merci
I’m almost at 1.5 months. def feeling the loneliness and anxiety the past two or so weeks. It’s crazy the high that you initially experience when quitting! Then it’s a bit of a roller coaster after about a month. I understand I’m still very early on in the journey. This video was reassuring.
How do you feel now? I can’t do this much longer 😂

needed this. thank you.
This vid helped me so much I was so confused because I didn’t know what flatlining was and I thought that I was just losing the benefits for some reasons and going back 2 depression
Very thanks hammond I am from india started no fap. Felt heavily depressed and hopeless. By watching your video it's like ok. But sometimes I feel like horrible because I don't know what to comment but 1 thing lot of changes occurred in my body itself I was lean now I am like straight body. heavy changes for body. By watching your vid gived me peace. Thanks for your vid.
im in day 11 and im experiencing this low and depressive mood and loneliness. And i got scared and dissapointed because i few days ago i felt completely different, probably what they all call the one week state. So im trying to find some proof that this is natural and i need some patience and support

Went into semen retention and had the same feelings. Lasted about a 8-9 days till today. Was really into my polarity and it was setting this new woman off at work. Alot of sexual tension there.

I still have the SR benefits tho. Well. I still hold the habits i developed during the journey. Stopped weed and cigs. Eating healthier. Way more exercise. Reading books again. And all the above. Just the "OOMPH" will take 2-3 days too get back. And im gonna work 14 days now. Setbacks are just baby steps. Be gentle yet disciplined af
Hey bro i think i hitted the flatline today on day 9 everything seems to be falling and it seems like im going back to my last year depression, its probably my brain telling me thats its not worth it continuing unfortunately for him i dont listen
Do not listen to your brain our brains are actually not as smart as we think they are, i mean, in some cases they surely are but in others they sre just following the nature , witch in this case they are craving for that dopamine hit so bad that they don't care where they get it from even if it's from porn.
Rai in my actuell 9 days of nofap i have onces a day sex with women. Can i say im on day 8 ?
Porn and masturbation is also a form of self-medication... So when people eliminate porn and masturbation, the self-medicating behaviour, what happens is that what they were medicating themselves from (Usually feeling shitty/insecure/bored/numb etc) in some form or another starts to surface and presents itself to us. This is when we slip and either start to feel depressed or we dive straight back into the old habit to numb ourselves to the feelings that we're running from... For anyone that's read the book, you probably already know, but I highly recommend The Presence Process by Michael Brown for anybody struggling with this, depression, or any other addiction/emotional numbness/depression/anxiety... The book and the process it guides you through has the capacity to be life-changing. Highly recommend it.
Releasing vital fluid causes depression and also gives the illusion of easing it. Vicious cycle. Retain your seed and reap the rewards!

@@kylesapphire1820 Hey man. I’m exactly the same now. After 2 days I was like wtf is happening why do I feel this way. Also I’ve been unable to hit the gym because of an injury. So I suspect this depression is from not being able to workout or really play video games (used to doing both on the daily) and also stopping fapping I’ve just felt shit and depressed. Haven’t really had mental problems before so this has scared me. What did you do or how did it turn out for you? Edit: I’m 6 days in now and thinking about relapsing in hopes of feeling better. Thoughts?
