I go to it because it’s like a natural X-anax. It relaxes me for the time being, then after I do it I feel like total crap. That’s how I relapsed this past time.
stress is the main reason why I ever go back to PMO. stay strong though! don't let that stress overcome you. try some other things to do instead of PMO like sleeping, cooking, drawing, songwriting, writing in general, running, etc.
Most of the reasons I had was when I was bored, it's always one of the first things I think about, but of course, stress is one of the most popular for sure!
