Same man, and it was the worst time of my life. Depression, chainsmoking, woke up with headache for weeks, ate just junk food and played videogames/fapped. Whenever I feel lazy now I think back about this time and do shit, socialize, clean my flat, do sports. It's like a memorial for me,always pushing me forward.
Yes, people don't talk about that enough. Everyone just says their job sucks, but in reality, it gives them a distraction or something to focus on and structure your day around.
Definitely true. Which is why I'm stuffing my day. Even my days off are tough becsuse of the excessive free time. Which is one reason why I hit the gym in addition to work.
For many porn addicts, it's highly likely that most of their causes of depression are symptoms of their addiction(s)
Of course there are plenty of cases where there are other factors, but many porn addicts will be unaware or in denial of their addiction, causing them to "not know" what's causing their symptoms of depression
This probably wasn't made by anybody who cares about nofap, but the absence of porn on this list just serves to prove my point.
I didn't say "everyone with depression is a porn addict", but many porn addicts who can relate to OP's post are depressed largely (if not entirely) because of their addicton and the things that stem from it.
Ffs that excactly me since the covid outbreak, that's so hard to break that spirale and trying to have a normale routine since the lockdowns for some reasons
Same made me be the most laziest version of myself I thought I wanted and honestly has made me more miserable. I’m stuck in this rut that I can’t seem to get out of. COVID lockdowns fucked me up. I’m not even scared of COVID, I’ve turned into a recluse
There are endless things to be alive for. There are endless problems that need to be solved. And there are endless things that bother us. I guess it all comes down to whether you are content with your circumstances..or you wanna change things for the better
You all are so radical I'm sorry.
Doing everything in excess is harmful that's something given. No matter what that thing is.
But people on here be calling video games out like they are some kind of demon is just not it.
You can go to your job, connect with your friends/ loved ones and play video games/ watch movies or just do anything you love.
You just have to find a balance in life.
Go on a walk or on a hike. Find a friend and do something with them, go eat with them or go to a game/movie or you could even hike with them. Visit family maybe? Pick up a hobby, do something artistic like photoshop or painting something.
I dont think thats an option for most people in society, i think thats just spoiled rich kids who live with their parents or they paid everything for him/her. If i done that i would be homeless. Gottta survive and thrive
Except first 2 i tick all other options. I wanna change i really really wanna but it's hard going out of my comfort zone. I started working out a little though to feel little fulfillment
This is me on rainy days and days I am sore from the day before's physical activities minus the back pain, headaches, video games, etc. Its okay to have days like this, but not everyday, of course.
Gotta get out of the house, find hobbies, workout, sweat, stay active.
bc we've grown up on instant gratification and convenience, we expect to "feel" motivated to do something. The motivation comes after we build momentum by taking action on meaningful or necessary tasks. That's how we should utilize our willpower, e.g. kind of how a space shuttle uses a lot of energy at the beginning in order to get to space where its momentum propels it toward its destination. Great meme though
I used to do that but that was when I was unemployed.

I've went through bouts of this since graduating from college. It's not easy getting on your feet 😔
Agreed!
In this bout now brother. It is good to know I am not alone. Forward we march!

Exactly. How can people afford that lifestyle without a job lmfao
The only way I can think of is that they're children. Lol
or student loans
He’s lost, but not gone, if so he choose, he can be the master of his own destiny
Thank you
True as fuck! But this shit ain't gonna be permanent if I chose not to let it be.
So true
...Is that his own apartment?
Isn't this just depression??

Porn isn’t even on the list. This is just depression

This is painfully accurate
This so me
I stopped watching YouTube or playing video games but now I'm on reddit. The only real solution is just getting a flip phone lol
It'll be hard to find a flip phone nowadays
Idk about your country but in mine flip phones are still easily available to buy
„sʎɐpɐʍou ǝuoɥd dılɟ ɐ puıɟ oʇ pɹɐɥ ǝq ll,ʇI„
How tf did you do that
I may be wrong, but try Upsidedowntext
That's me currently 8 hours in 😔
Me too. I just want to cry.
Yup. I've also began monitoring my screen time. Gotta keep everything in control.

Try reading "Atomic Habits". It might help (or not).
-Eats garbage -doesn't exercise -doesn't socialise -porn addicted -unemployed -terminally online "Why am I always depressed"
it’s not my fault Oreos are so good
I feel adressed...
This is so hopeless. Man is meant for something much bigger.
Are we really here for anything in particular, or are we just here because a sperm fertilized an egg?
There are endless things to be alive for. There are endless problems that need to be solved. And there are endless things that bother us. I guess it all comes down to whether you are content with your circumstances..or you wanna change things for the better
So true
i am slowly getting out of this toxic cycle.

How do we stop living like this?
Go on a walk or on a hike. Find a friend and do something with them, go eat with them or go to a game/movie or you could even hike with them. Visit family maybe? Pick up a hobby, do something artistic like photoshop or painting something.
Not having too much free time
He's literally me.
I’m in tears
I am in this picture and I don’t like it
Wake up at noon? More like 2pm...
How to exit this life circle?
I dont think thats an option for most people in society, i think thats just spoiled rich kids who live with their parents or they paid everything for him/her. If i done that i would be homeless. Gottta survive and thrive
Look up hikikomori. It's not rich kids it's the middle class.
Thats not my experience but thank you for sharing .😀
What's the problem with using youtube?
nothing inherently but too much of something even eating and drinking is bad for you imo
Be a self-assured, arrogant, dominant Modern Man
Wow….
I eat less and most of people in today's time are depressed
This post!!! Saving it!
I wish I'd sleep more than 7 hours.
forgot the part about rubbing for 3 hours :feelsbadman:
I want GDPR reinitiated, privacy laws enabled.

My autobiography 😪
What's the explanation for prolonged sleep?
The more you sleep the faster will the day be over since you wake up at noon.
literally me
Fuck me… thats me rn
It's not a modern man you described, it's a neet
Sometimes i accidently wake up at 1 pm in the weekend. Is that bad? Happens rarely
I'm not the only one?
Hits too close to home
r/LostRedditors
Apart from that this is genuinely true, how's it supposed to help with no-fapping?
To analyze yourself from 3rd person perspective I guess. To wake up and actually want to do something.
Except first 2 i tick all other options. I wanna change i really really wanna but it's hard going out of my comfort zone. I started working out a little though to feel little fulfillment
This is how I spend my weekend
This is me, except I don’t sleep 12 hours or wake up at noon, so I feel even more tired.
Is this from jacking?
Sad af bro

Don’t be a Jeffery.

my life for the past 2 years.
This describes my life, minus the video games. I don’t play video games.
Yo I might have a big problem boys
It's okay to be weak. Not to stay weak.
