Need some Advice!

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Oct 1, 2017.

  1. I need some advice. I might be leaving college for a year because I can't get my pmo under track so I can't concentrate on my work andwhich is making me fall really behind which is making me depressed and stressed so I relapse even more. I love this website for letting me know about the problem of pmo I now see why I never had any motivation whether it be in school or outside of school.When I get a good streak I love learning to the point where its an addiction but each time I relapse I leave reality for virtual stimuli and doing anything even stuff I like becomes a chore which gives me no enjoyment.

    So I plan on joining the reserves for a year and going t church everyday so next year I will be better prepared for this. Computer programming is something that takes a lot of mental alertness to perfect but with every pmo session I lose inspiration to learn.

    Now what I need advice on now is I upset my mom very much because of the depression I deal with and she keeps asking me why but I don't want to tell her. What do you think should I give her an explanation?
    Any imput is greatly appreciated.

    All you need to do is explain to your mom that you have depression. I get irritable towards my mom too because of my anxiety. You dont need to talk about the porn issue with her if u dont want. If she is educated on depression thatll be really helpful. There doesnt need to be a big reason for depression if thats what she thinks. Just a chemical imbalance in ur brain sometimes.

    After two years of college, I laid out for a year. I learned more about myself and the world than that year than any other year of college.

    You can tell your mom that you think that you need to grow up. If she wants to argue with that, you can then offer to move back in with her while you find yourself.

  5. Thanks guys for all your responses. You guys and ladies make a hard week easier I am glad I have this community. I told my mom I am depressed and need another year before college. She said OK so I am going to take the year off and get some help for this. The problem is I have absolutely no motivation to do anything right now but when I got on a good streak I was the equivalent to a machine.
     
  6. I know what I have to do I am going to go to a help group at church and then get some other help as well. I haven't been happy in my life for awhile but good stretches of nofap really brought out an inner light that I never have felt before. The other good think about my program is I can also learn it online which makes it so even though I will he out of college doesn't mean I have to stop learning in total. I'm shooting for the stars I just feel like for now this is my best option.

    Sounds like a good plan. Stay strong.
    A daily log will help you keep your focus and let you be more aware of the progress you are making. It can also help other NoFappers.

    I agree with Alien Alex. Just explain it to your mom and she'll understand, hopefully.

    Keep strong chris555. I do hope you not just conquer your PMO habit but your depression as well.
