hi

Some of the information I'll provide may seem trivial or even irrelevant(please feel free to skim it for what you want), but hopefully in it's totality will lead to a more personal and detailed representation of who I am, what I stand for, and why I'm doing NoFap. Although my story and journey can only objectively pertain to me, I hope I can offer hope to someone who may have lost all of theirs. I've certainty lost mine plenty of times. I can't say I gained any so called super powers. I can't say my life magically got better. And no, I can't say I make girls drop to there knees from a single glance. But, I most certainly can say that I'm one step closer to the person I've always wanted to be.

Personal info:

  • I'm a 19 year-old male who is a neuroscience major and a junior in college.
  • I have moderate-severe ADHD(decided to go on vyvanse on a regular basis recently since the symptoms became too much to deal with in a college setting).
  • Have dealt with severe social, speaking, and general anxiety in the past. Currently my anxiety is just triggered by extremely stressful situations, an episode of depression, or specific settings I'm not fully comfortable with.
  • Have had episodes of severe depression. The most recent of which lasted from September-early March
  • Currently on a gap semester trying to finally sort everything out after a severe episode of depression, anxiety, and the general want to get past most of my past problems before I truly start moving forward
  • Heavy drinker when depressed, otherwise will only drink socially.
  • On and off smoker(however decided to quit for good and I'm almost at a full month at the moment)
  • Occasional recreational drug user(pain killers, weed, and psychedelics)
  • Do not drink any sort of soda(quit 4 months ago)
  • Drinks coffee on and off(only strong, black, and Turkish)
