    Hi guys i am Lijo, its nice to be a part of nofap community.

    I have been maturbating all my life and i dint realize why i had such low confidence and anxiety until i read the about the problems fapping results in.My addiction got a lot stronger when my ex left me which was around 8 months back.I missed sleeping with her so much and i missed her body and she knew how to play with my strings very well.She used sex as a weapon against me and i was way too stupid not to understand it because i trusted her way too much and was too deeply in love with her.After my break up i felt like i dont want to live anymore i was lost and i had forgotten my purpose in life because i had put her above all my priorities.

    I always felt like killing myself because it hurt so bad especially because she cheated on me.I was very suicidal, i felt like jumping out of my balcony everytime i felt pain inside, i started fapping to get over that feeling of pain and then i increased my fapping from once to thrice a day and on to this day i have been masturbating 3 times a day daily.Now it was gotten me under its claws and its very hard for me to break away from it.

    I need to stop because i am having huge anxiety attacks and my self esteem is always low and i have no confidence nowdays.

    Hi @ltom92 . welcome to NoFap
    It is a big step if you can understand what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear.

    I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up.
    I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down:

    I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too:

    You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post:

    I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction.

    Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too.

    I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction.
    Let's keep on fighting

    Fercho
