this
everytime i try nofap i fall into a spiral of depression, literally.
in the community they call it flatline, but i always just lied on the floor thinking i've no motivation to do anything
and then i wanked it and was ready to go, once again reading furiously

If you hate everything else then reading isn't so bad. I'm sick of all the other stuff I've been doing lately, and now I just sit in my car and read

Walk through nature and think, then clear your mind and read.

Depends on what distracts you. My mind will sometimes wander when I read. I simply complete that thought and return to the story.

it takes time to switch from mindless scrolling context switching to focused reading. Lay down, close your eyes, wait 10 to 20 minutes, pick book again. Take a nap if you feel like it. Repeat.
