Guys today I had a fight with someone and I’m having hard time adjusting with these mood swings. I physically hit them which I usually won’t do but today I did and I feel bad for that.
I know that no fap causes mood swings but I wasn’t prepared for that and ended up bursting out for silly reasons.
To avoid the unnecessary fight I realized what I did and went to my room and locked the door. Played some games and I lost in that game and it triggered my anger again (I won’t be like this usually).
So I installed Instagram to watch something to relax my mind and reduce my temper. And there after some memes and funny videos I stumbled upon a hot girl in the reels. And after sometime Instagram flooded my feed with hot girls. (No nudes though)
So I touched myself a bit and didn’t edge or something. I didn’t even have orgasm and I realized where this is going . It was hard for me, my mind said " OK just fap its alright she is hot and you touched yourself so don’t stop it"
I slapped myself uninstalled the app and went outside. But I don’t know if this is relapse or not.
So my questions are
Should I consider this as relapse and reset the counter ?
Did I give my brain the dopamine by watching those girls? If so Will this affect my journey?
What can I do next time ? I’m on day 7 (1st time) and how can I handle the mood swings as I go further ?
Bro, this happened with me too usually on day 7 & 8 of no fap we get higher testosterone levels. We are not used to this energy . I also get super aggressive on day 7, 8 & day 13, 14 & lot of mood swings . Try to transmute that sexual energy by meditating & playing sports or gym. Be careful on day 7,8 & 13,14 of no fap.
I think you gave your brain the dopamine , as you deliberately installed the app and scrolled through the images …
Well it can be consider as peeking .
I would consider this as a relapse , but it depends if you are doing semen retention then it’s ok. But if you are doing a complete reboot try to avoid these type of pics.
The mere fact that you are installing Instagram shows you are still slave to your brain. Never ever think to install Instagram,99% of the time guys ended up relapsing. You didn’t let your emotions to overpower you - that’s a good sign I consider. Take this as warning and from next time don’t open Instagram to relinquish your angry
You can do planks and push up to release the excessive energy,it works
These days Facebook is also showing picture of hot ladies,no where you can get freedom. Although I’m not triggered by videos or images,my problem as you might know ,is to jerk off to real women which is super creepy,but these days I don’t gaze my vision to check out walking down the street. Whenever I feel the urge to jerk,I starts to do plank,and I do for about 5-10 minutes,then I’m exhausted like hell. No more urg s
Having a tough day and I didn’t know what exactly I should do. Back then before I know about no fap, I will masturbate whenever I have rough day. This time the same thing was about to happen but on Instagram. I was watching reels not images( its like tiktok videos on Instagram) at first it was funny memes and some motivation video but then eventually it ended up showing lot of hot girls dancing which triggered my old habit.
And I exhausted my energy by running 2.9kms without break and I ended up using too much willpower here.
In my openion You cant become an ideal man overnight. You do what you can do. Initially we have to fight, and then we become used to. For newbies, seldom peaking is ok. But doing intentionally, several times is definitely a failed attempt, will come to relapse category.
If you can go hard mode. You should do hard mode. But if you cant, you should try to go hard mode.
