Discussion Does NoFap work for anxiety and stuff?

[Deleted member 19546]

People who tried it for atleast 30 days, without porn or jerking, did it do anything for anxiety? Like, insomnia, involuntary muscle-twitching, heart palpitations etc.

Or if you were depressed did it make you feel more motivated, to eat, study or work out?

Without fapping and depleting a bunch of dopamine on stupid shit, this motivation neurotransmitter naturally makes you more motivated because there's more of it left to be used (oversimplification but you get the point). So if you don't fap or edge, you will feel more motivated and even more content in life, from my experience.

I don't know about anxiety with no fapping tbh, I never had it. What did help friends of mine is wim hoff breathing.
Check out this video, along with no fap it will do you a lot of good.

Dunno about most things you mentioned. The most it helped me with my sleep schedule - it was much easier to wake up early and keep going to bed in time. Maybe it's just me, but I stay up too late when I fap.

Also I had more energy when doing sports. My longest streak was when I also was jogging every other day. Before I started nofap, I used to feel tired and wasted all my energy half into the distance I've ran. When I was on it, I would've run the desired distance and not even feel much tired afterwards.

This is also questionable, but when I was in public places, I wanted to engage in conflicts more. Maybe helps you lowinhibmaxx, because boosts confidence.

Ye, it also may be true that it helped to be more motivated. When I was on it, I'd wake up early and start studying, while I usually jump on phone in the morning when I fap.

I always get really good dreams when I'm doing nofap, they start after about 4 days in

it works if you have no underlying mental ilnesses, i have bipolar type 2 and i tried doing no fap and all that did was drive me crazy (an overflow of sexual thoughts, increased heart rate and anxiety) when i bust a nut i feel at ease and can sleep

NoFap is the biggest bluepilled cope, you should never do it under any circumstances it will only make you want to kill yourself even more.

30 days is stupid. Best way is to just go offline for 3 days. No porn, no internet, no screen time. Reset your dopamine receptors.
