It is definitely tough when you are in bed and the urge is strong. Obviously exercise or a walk around the block are not practical. One eitza is to have a chaver to call (and if it is late make sure he does not mind - some guys phones are off and you can leave a message) and simply call and share that you have a strong urge. Usually sharing that, and specifically if you clinically say straight out what you want to do, kills the urge. If all that does not work, the old timers here used to say "Well there is always Woodford".........

With a username like yeshivaguy that was actually my assumption, wrote that just to be sureand also for the less yeshivish oilam

Had a pretty inappropriate dream last night which I found surprising given that I’ve been so good with my thoughts lately...
I thought it was a “wet dream” but bh when I woke up I wasn’t “wet”
But either way, it was weird to have had it...

You know, you're the second post I've seen today that had a non - wet dream recently. Literally the post I saw before this one. So it means you're normal not weird. Don't pay attention too much to dreams. 

You're doing great. You're attitude to that nisayon recently was fantastic. To use them to grow is kinda the whole reason why they're there.

Keep on inspiring.

p.s. You say 'that's fantastic' while you are clutching your broken leg? Woah, I don't give you nearly enough credit for your attitude!

Here’s what’s bothering me:
1. My learning is shver-missed shiur two days straight 
2.Im not feeling well. So I’m in bed and my mind is stuffy
3. I feel like though I don’t feel well, I can still push myself much more
4. texted a girl last night. So beneath me I know.. I deleted her number though and if she texts me back I’ll just delete it again or block it
5. I feel like I’ve been so shver in my Avodas HaShem, in learning davening etc and it feeels like it’s too late to get things together before Rosh hashana.

These are my thoughts and feelings.
Thabk you all for listening and any eitza/thoughts would be appreciated 

Funny - you beat me to it.

I was gonna ask how you’re enjoying being in Yeshiva...

You gotta be passionate about what you do and if there’s a block, it’s often easy to overcome, but sometimes with a little outside help...

I have a bunch of contacts here on gye. Sweet guys. 
How about you send one of them a text and then delete the number and see what happens

1) I've been having a similar issue myself.

Its easy to run out of steam. I'm not not learning, but its hard to try as hard as I used to. I'm going to link a shiur that gives chizuk in this area. Listen to it if you want, it may give you the pump you need to get through zman, and the discipline to keep plugging after that.

ravkallus.com/miscellaneous-4/ (first shiur. Not sure how to link more specific than that.)

2) Refuah Shelaima.

3) See 1). With an addition, we say in tefillah 'satan milefanainu U'leachareinu.' My Rosh Yeshiva explains L'achareinu is the satan sometimes puts his hands on our back, and says do more more more until we fall flat on our face. I mean, analyze your day, and make sure you really can do more, before feeling bad.

4) You don't have to feel bad about texting your Mom... But seriously, however you got that number, not much more you can do then delete it like you're planning.

5) See 1).

All the best.

That is so thoughtful of you. Thank you!

I have no words of which to express my hakaros hatov to the Boreh Olam and to all of you dear chaveirim...
So I will simply wish you all blev shaleim:
A Kesiva vchasima Tova lALTER Chaim tovim ulishalom!!
May we be zoche to approach the Ribono shel Olam as one unified individual -with our maalos and CHESRONOS
and be Mamlich to Boreh Olam over our lives!

Everything stinks right now.
not giving details yet.
hope I can get out of this. Pretty bad
