I don’t feel any benefits

I have people treating me like shit in person

I’ve felt a little horny here and there recently but aside from that I haven’t had any urges. I don’t feel good, I feel depressed all the time.

Even tho I workout, meditate, transmute energy etc, nothing.

Genuinely what’s the point?

I only feel benefits on days 8-11 every single time

I should be proud of myself for making it this far but this is genuinely making me want to just relapse and go back.

I thought my nervous system would reset I’d feel calmer, better, women attraction etc, more of a drive, more energy

I feel LESS energy. I’ve barely been able to go to work matter fact I might quit.

I can’t survive on less sleep now, which I was able to do on days 8-11.

What is the point???

Is Semen Retention a lie?

Are all the benefits fake?

Also for people saying I might be in flatline, MAYBE but I’m pretty sure I passed flatline on day 28 ish? I remember feeling depressed like VERY very depressed probably x3 more than I am right now for 2 weeks straight from days 14-28, then I had a wet dream and kinda of felt an energy surge the next few days, and since then I’ve just been sort of normal.

Like right now I GENUINELY **feel the same way I did when I was gooning probably 2-3 times a week. Seriously. Maybe even everyday.**

It’s a pretty chill job overall but I just wanted to mention

Every single location I’ve worked at

My coworkers have very weird or bitchy energy

Literally every single time. I’ve never had good coworkers, FRIENDLY coworkers working at a Boba shop.

Everyone has their own little friends or group and they will look at you like you’re weird for just wanting to start a conversation.

Order you around, etc.

I give up

I’ve done 30 days of no fap by tomorrow. Tomorrow to celebrate I will most likely masturbate

I realized that… I feel no benefits. I snapped out of the flatline a few days ago which lasted 2 weeks with a wet dream, I feel sort of horny again but

The benefits only exist on days 8-11. After that u enter a flatline and then it’s straight bullshit there’s nothing u feel nothing there’s no benefits there’s no women attraction nothing.

Like I haven’t gained anything out of this.

Only good thing is keeping porn out of ur mind

Therefore what I’m going to do is nut once every 2 weeks . I will feel the benefits of days 8-11 every single time (at that time I felt better around girls and felt confident etc I felt like a kid again) and then just get my nut in

Otherwise I even asked my friends who did it for a few months and they genuinely don’t know how this shit works either

If someone with more experience can inspire me or teach me what I’m saying or thinking wrong please let me know. I’d be VERY glad if I can just start feeling the benefits again. No they’re not placebo I genuinely felt them multiple times, they just don’t exist right now. I still wake up tired etc

I want people to tell me what’s going on here

Every time I used to fail on day 14, I had felt the benefits from days 8-11, so I know it’s not placebo.

And after that I’d enter a flatline and be depressed.

This time I exited the flatline finally at around day 24-25.

But even then I don’t feel too horny or energetic right now, matter fact my mind just sort of opened up and I don’t feel good?

I almost feel like giving up on life. I don’t think I’ll ever get a girlfriend, I’m having all these doubts which feel so REAL, I feel like I’ll die a virgin, etc. there’s nothing I want more right now than to goon

I’m not getting any real life benefits and I know people say don’t do it for the benefits but I quite literally felt them. Multiple times on around day 10 I approach women or have a nice time socializing with people. Right now I don’t have the inspiration to leave my room at ALL, and I’m on a higher streak.

Can someone please motivate me and tell me what to do? Realistically when will I feel benefits or when will I feel better because I’m tired of it

I even almost relapsed today and edged a tiny bit but I’m good now (I don’t do this ever) but yeah I’m sort of starting to lose it. I just wanted to go on no fap until I have sex but at this point I don’t know when that will happen.

Yo so every time I been using acne subliminals I realized I kind of purge? Like I’m getting acne at every spot that I feared ever in my life you know like every single place where I’ve had it before

Mind u it’s kind of immediate too , I don’t get acne much anymore but as soon as I started listening to these subliminals it happened

I quit a few subliminals too now I’m only using like 2 for clear skin but this is happening again

I almost think this means it’s working? Should I stay consistent with it?

What would you guys say? Is it like a purge?

I spent the past 2 fucking weeks damn near

Depressed

Couldn’t sleep

Couldn’t function in social settings

Couldn’t talk to people

Past trauma past emotions popping up

Anxiety in my chest

Numbness

Not horny at all

Today I woke up FINALLY slept (14 hours) my energy is back music feels good again I wanna go socialize etc my chest feels clean I don’t feel that anxiety anymore I feel GOOD

BENEFITS COMING BACK WE FINNA GET SOMEEEE

for anyone who’s in flatline right now take this as a sign it’s worth pushing through

So I can go 😢

Bro imagine this

I’m fucking 23 days in. Longest streak of my life. And girls are treating me like shit. People aren’t talking to me.

Like bro when I was 10 days in I had an aura around me I had way more confidence I felt good about life

Nowadays I don’t even want to get out of bed

I can’t handle less sleep

Before I could sleep 3 hours and feel like I slept 10 hours at around day 8-11

WHEN WILL THIS END?????

It’s genuinely like so fucking annoying man it’s making me think this shit is just not real and I should just go back to being a gooner atp

Ok so I’m 20 days in now and I haven’t felt benefits in the past 7 days, I made a post about this earlier but my main question is just for this

MOST people say benefits start for them or start feeling amazing on day 14. 2 weeks in, you start getting hella benefits, women, etc.

Then when I made my post, people are saying around 2 weeks in is where the flatline happens.

Which one is it? If I’m going through flatline right now will one of these days I just wake up and my body will feel the 20 something days of energy out of nowhere?

I’m gonna keep going idc but I’m just curious

I always feel lots of benefits on days 8-11 I feel so confident I can talk with anyone I feel this warmth in my chest it’s almost like a high

And then since then I have no benefits?

How is it possible I have no benefits on Day 19 but I did earlier??? Like what’s going on LOL when will my benefits like double or triple cause I thought that’s what was going to happen

Like most people say their benefits start at day 14 but I haven’t experienced that yet

I am dealing with

All sorts of Acne

Pimples, bumps, etc

Eczema

Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, itchiness

I’ve tried all sorts of creams but they haven’t worked so I’m about to give up and try subliminals

For someone who’s dealt with these which subliminal genuinely got you through it?

It makes me so sad when I see these highly acclaimed anime and they just feel SO empty compared to what I expected.

Samurai Champloo just feels like a teenager anime to me. I only watched the first 6 episodes but that’s exceeding my 3 episode rule and I have to force myself to watch. The style is cool but it’s quite easily style over substance.

Again teenager anime because I feel nothing from this. The characters have no depth, the plots and themes in the show have no depth, there’s nothing in here to gain from. I like to walk away from whatever I watch learning something, growing. This is brainless entertainment almost.

I felt this same way with Space Dandy and Lazarus too, maybe Watanabe isn’t for me. Problem is I love his style so fucking much too it’s just the substance is SO empty. Lazarus I did love the first few episodes and Samurai Champloo I really enjoyed episode 1 but that’s it.

I understand how to do it and how it is alternate nostril breathing, my problem is with one thing

How long should you hold your breaths in for, how long for exhalation too?

Some people say every breath in and out is 4 seconds each. My problem is based off my energy I count to 4 very slowly or very fast if I’m anxious, and also sometimes I can’t exhale for 4 long seconds you know? It’s confusing.

I’ve found just inhaling and exhaling for however long I want , whatever feels best for me works better as a way of relaxing my mind but I don’t know if that’s the intended way of doing it- it’s almost like a deep breathing session at that point.

What do you guys say? What is the most known way of doing it to regulate nervous system and allow blessings to come in?

My struggle hasn’t been manifesting, it’s been two things

1. Fully manifesting the end goal
2. Getting caught in purges (sickness, terribly negative thoughts emotions everything against me)

My pattern is I raise my frequency, I get breadcrumbs or pieces of my manifestation, small wins you know? And then once those accumulate up or I get a bigger win- I crash, old frequency takes over. I mean my emotions get confusing a lot of brain fog etc purge or whatever you want to call it, and I stay like this for around a week and then get back to it.

Overall I just wanna break this pattern, does anyone have any tips on how to and can anyone relate to this? It’s like I get so close yet I feel so far.

Basically I feel as if that if trying to improve my life means I’ll keep getting tested with a horrible set of feelings every single time I improve I’m starting to think it’s not worth it .

Like quite literally every stremio anime for English dub they use the Japanese subtitles so it’s not word for word

HOW DO I FIX THIS AGHHHH

I’m one of those weird people that needs captions in case I miss a few words that they say

Is this a good idea? The downtown hotels in walking distance are all almost $400 per night now.

I’m thinking of getting one that’s in distance of a train that’ll take you to Lollapalooza so I have a few questions

1. Which are the ideal hotels for this (I’m staying by myself)

2. Who else is doing this

3. Is this a good option

Here’s some hotels I have in mind

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

Hyatt Place Chicago – Medical / University District

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Chicago O’Hare

The Carleton of Oak Park Hotel

I won’t be driving so everything will be through uber or train. I’m going for 3 days but will only be at lollapalooza for one day.

I just found out about lollapalooza and Sunday is the most exciting day for me so I really wanted to buy a ticket and luckily it’s the only one that’s not on waitlist yet. I’m sure if I was on waitlist right now I’d never make it, so

Should I just buy the ticket?

Problem is my chances of getting a job rn are unconfirmed I don’t know if I can make enough money for hotels and uber and food.

I have $330 in my account, the lollapalooza ticket is $210 and flight ticket is around $150. Those two are doable but for the rest I don’t know

Should I say fuck it anyways and buy it and I could give it away later worst case scenario? I don’t know how this stuff goes this is my first festival so plz someone lmk
