Today morning I relapsed
At the present moment, I am feeling extremely tired
Tired to the core
My knees are aching are a lot
Apart from studying, I didn’t strain myself much today
Knees, thighs are aching a lot
Also feeling dizzy
Like as if I am about to faint of tiredness
Whats the possible reasons for this??
Can someone explain?
Can medical students provide some help to navigate this issue immediately

I don’t know the core of this problem but I think the main cause is dopamine. During a relapse, your brain attains a peak of dopamine. Your brain thinks you’re a winner and don’t need to work now, just have a sleep & fun. Similar case is with a king who hunts and after hunting he just want rest & women nothing else. btw bro @The_EnlightenedOne i read that somewhere don’t get me wrong. i suggest you to take a proper nap today

Today actually I cried for almost 1 hour 
I felt huge shame and guilt after relapsing
Its been 4 years since I entered this habit
Still I am struggling
Everytime I thinking
I will leave this in 2022
I will leave this in 2023
I will leave this in 2024
And its already the end of 2024 and 2025 is about to begin
Still I am struggling with this habit
I keep fooling myself and my parents
I need to confess to my parents that I am addicted to this and ask them to take me to a religious saint to help me overcome this
I can’t keep losing like this
People are reaching 100 days, 200 days, 1000 days etc
And I am sucking at 15 days
Its a curse that I entered this habit somehow unknowingly
Life was so beautiful till 12th without PMO
After that everything crumbled
Its been 16 hours since I ate anything
Don’t feel like eating anything

Keep fighting @The_EnlightenedOne. Till class 10th. I had a girlfriend, she broke up with me due to this shitty addiction. 2024 is a good year for me , this year I made a comeback. Every month I did well. Now i relapse rarely. I hope you will achieve what you’re trained for. Just never give up and keep fighting. Remember, losing is acceptable but quitting is not

Don’t worry, bro. Don’t feel down. I may not be able to give you much motivation, but I’ll just say this: consider this your last relapse of the year, and from today, you’re entering a new era. Just forget everything, it’s not like you’ve committed a huge sin. It’s fine. Instead of feeling too sad, start working hard from today. I knew from the day you started the “Why No Fap” journey that this might happen to you, but let’s not dwell on it. Just move on.
You are not alone in this race!! There are people like who cant even complete 2 days streak in a row but look at you, you are better than most of the addicted brats.
After all You are The_Enlightened_One aren’t you?
Krishna bhakt?

First of all calm down. I’ll give u an analogy. Consider PMO as a big strong bully. You were beaten by that bully very badly. But one u learnt all the tactic and started to fight back. You got stronger , You got into 15 day streak.Beating the crap out of that bully like its nothing. But all of a sudden , he gave a strong blow , you relapsed. Now tell me , Who is the winner ?
As long as you not physically dead , you still have an upper hand wrt the battle u had till now. Now watching P O R N is like letting yourself getting beaten by the bully again. If u allow that , then I am sorry I am afraid you might have not changed much wrt no fap.
Keep going man !! You have still not lost.

I understand how you’re feeling, brother 
. Sometimes life gets overwhelming, and it feels easier to give up. But the truth is, giving up won’t change anything. Just sitting with those painful thoughts only traps you in guilt and sorrow. Ending your life, though, won’t solve the real issues. Yes, people around you will grieve, but life goes on for them. The only thing left behind will be a reputation marked by sadness and regret—some might pity you, while others might use you as an example of what not to do. But at the end of it all, it’s you who will lose everything.
Death is not the answer. Quitting is not an option. Instead, rise up and take control of what you can. Push beyond your limits and fight for change. When you do that, you’ll start earning the respect and admiration of those around you. You’ll build a life where you can have everything you desire—a happy life, a supportive partner, children to love and be proud of, and the chance to give your parents the pride and happiness they deserve.
So keep going. You’re stronger than you think, and there’s a brighter future waiting for you.

Hey brother, I can truly understand how difficult this must be for you. First off, it’s important to recognize that what you’re feeling—shame, guilt, frustration—is all part of the healing process. It means you care deeply about changing and that you’re not okay with where things are. That’s already a step forward.
Crying is a way your body releases all the emotional pressure, and it’s okay to feel vulnerable. It doesn’t make you weak, it shows you’re human. The journey to overcome addiction can feel like an uphill battle, especially when you see others achieving big milestones. But remember, everyone’s path is different. Focus on your progress, one day at a time. Even making it to 15 days is progress—acknowledge that.
You don’t have to face this struggle alone, but also, it’s okay to take your time figuring out who to open up to. If talking to a religious mentor or seeking spiritual guidance feels right for you, that can be a powerful way to find support. But don’t feel pressured to expose everything to your family unless you’re sure it’s what you want.
Also, please take care of your health. Even if you don’t feel like eating, your body needs the strength to carry on through these emotional battles. Try to eat a little something, just to refuel your energy.
You’re not cursed, brother. You have the power to change. Keep going—your journey is yours, and it’s important. We’re here to support you.

What is this idiocacy? I told you to not punish yourself unnecessarily. The punishment was pretty simple, you did not have to use digital media and internet for 24 hrs, yet you broke that rule. And on the other hand, you are making it worse by starving yourself. It won’t solve anytbing, it’ll make things worse. Punishments were not designed to make you feel worse, they were made to help you stay away from falling back in the trap, keeping you away from being vulnerable. Really brother, learned to walk by rules of life, and life will become easier. Stop crying and blaming yourself, take the responsibility and move on. It was only a relapse, its in your hand if you want it to define your day and life or you want it to be an unnecessary and irrelevant occurence that you can easily beat. Its about mental fortutude and resilience. You are crying for failing over 4 years, there are people like me who have struggled for 15 years and others who have suffered for more time, yet they do not cry and instead choose to fight. You are talking about 100 days, 200 days huh? I have slipped after over 400 days, 200 days.
Stop blaming yourself, your addiction, your life, your parents, your grandparents, your girlfriend, your crush and fucking take the responsibility. Be the man, or die a coward. Choice is yours.

Thank you brother
I completely understand your view point
Actually being a very Religious person born in a Religious family, the guilt and shame from something like Fapping is multiplied manifold
The fear of god, karma etc is so worse
It actually feels terrible to confidently see god’s again
I only want god to forgive me and give me one chance
Faith can be double edged sword in a Nofap
While it helps to keep one’s thoughts above PMO,
While a single relapse causes so much shame, fear and guilt

God would not like it when he’d see you falling in the trap, but he’d absolutely hate it and feel ashamed when he’d see you crying like a coward. Of all the things that Lord Krishna is accused of from being a treacherer, liar, and what not, he is never called a coward. In fact, noone in entire Mahabharata is a coward, not even Kauravs or blind Dhritrashtra. If you are really a Krishna bhakta, then rise, use every yukti, every dharmic way and sometimes other paths if its necessary to get the right thing done. But stop being a coward.

Sometimes there is no polite way to convey something truthful.
Truth may be harsh
But it is definitely better than flasehood and delusions
I know that
