I have recently started using Headspace and also cut down my fapping. I am Bipolar Type 2. In this new ride. Hope I cross the stream. Suggest me an initial target, please
Hi, @Drv so glad you took the initiative! I'd suggest to watch stuff on how PMO and MO damages psychologically, emotionally and physically..over and over again get into the details.. Once you tell your brain all of that.. your mind will start to abstain from it.. Try and go for no PMO/MO for 3 days at first..once you do it, try and do only MO.. From that you can build on a longer streak and hopefully your way out of this misery! All the best!
Hi. Welcome to forum! 90 days seems to be the general recommendation for starting. Anything less than that probably won't fully heal you. So might as well shoot for it from the start. And even if you don't make it, well, men's grasp should always exceed his reach. It will push you. So you will probably last longer cos of it. Wish you lot's of strength and success in your reboot journey!
If you are into reading, I have found two books to be extremely helpful: The Porn Myth: Exposing the Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography Matt Fradd Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction Gary Wilson
Day 5. Didn't do it but watched porn. Few images enticed me and endes up watching for a few mins. But didn't do it. I have witnessed a tremendous increase in my drive. Unfortunately, tilting towards lust
Day 5. Watched some porn. Hardly 5 mins. Didn't fap or edge. But I see my sexual urge increasing tremendously. I am generally a kind of person who doesn't ogle and stare. And thus people have received me well. Never felt looking actually. But last few days have been tough. I am looking at women bodies and could feel a sensation. Can't explain but I am turned on foolish. Perhaps it is lust. Don't know what to do. I'll obviously suppress it but a few women around make it hard. I know it's stupid and I try to maintain decency. And I do want to be good and not a pervert. But I feel ashamed of myself
Lost it. First wet dreams. And then I somehow unconsciously masturbated while in a dream. Shirty feeling. Will start it again Day 0
