AGTERGROND:
Ek het depressie gehad en op antidepressante van ouderdom 10-20. In en buite terapie, siel wyke, ens. Nadat ek teruggekom het van dwelmverslawing 4 jaar gelede, het ek teruggekeer op antidepressante op 'n (skandelike) dosis.
Ek was nog altyd 'n gesonde man, dus hou nie van medisyne nie. Dit het my 'n jaar geneem, maar ek het my van Lexapro gespeen en is sedertdien vry. Onlangs het ek angs en paniekaanvalle op my werk gehad (ek werk baie nou saam met mense). Ek het seisoene gehad waar ek baie ongemaklik was, en dinge voel net nie reg in my brein nie.
Ek het na die dokter gegaan, 'n eerste ronde antidepressante gekry en die voorskrif ingevul. Maar ek het hulle nog nie geneem nie. Ongeveer 'n maand na die doktersbesoek het ek nofap begin. En ek het vergeet van die antidepressante wat ek tot vandag gekoop het.
Vandag besef ek dat ek BAIE meer gebalanseerd is as wat ek ooit was. Ek het minder paniekaanvalle omdat ek mediteer. en bid soggens en saans. Ek het minder spanning en meer dopamien omdat ek 3 keer per week na die gimnasium gaan. En ek vul dit aan met natuurlike kruie soos ginseng en maca poeier.
I believe that our bodies were meant to heal and take care of themselves. By rebooting and resetting my dopamine and stress response mechanisms, nofap has allowed my body to become it’s own anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, etc.

VROEG POST
I work as a greeter at my church. Today, I helped this one girl find a seat. Upon first glance, I noticed something deeper about her. Sure she was a blonde, but I didn’t scan her up and down before I made a judgement all on her. With her, there was a twinkle in her eye, a warm smile on her face, and what I felt as a connection between us. I didn’t need to “qualify” her on her looks to know that I liked her today. I genuinely felt a feeling of connection between us. And that was just through a simple eye-to-eye “Good Morning” with a smile!
60 days ago I was obsessed with objectifying women, puffing myself up in pride, and being the “bigger man” with a closet ED problem. I was able to keep all girls at a safe distance by objectifying them in my mind and Ming to them later. I was AFRAID of connection with women because I had issues with BEING MYSELF. It was much safer to hide and have sex with myself rather than open my heart to connection.
By the grace of God, today I could appreciate the subtlety of this woman’s warm spirit, great energy and amazing heart. I glanced over at her a couple times throughout the service – she was singing and dancing freely, very passionate and beautiful.
One of our mutual friends is going to try and put in a good word for me, but if nothing else I am just so overwhelmed by my capacity to feel love again – just thinking about the hope of
