To be honest my porn and masturbation problem goes back at least a few years but I never really considered it a problem until this last year. Starting in 2016 I was in a great relationship that unfortunately fell apart shortly after a year together for various reasons that I won't get into. During that relationship I lost my virginity and I got to try many other sexual things for real that I had previously long only seen in porn. Now that I am alone again I have found that when ever I watch porn or masturbate I start to think about her and it makes me incredibly depressed. From past relationships I learned that I am very slow at getting over people and I have a hard time with it, but this is a whole new level of difficulty. Masturbation now makes me feel depressed and alone after it is done. It makes me long for what I briefly had with her in the relationship and it is making the healing process so much more difficult. I signed up for NoFap a few months ago but I didn't last very long. This time I am going to be more involved in the forums to try and keep myself accountable and finally stick with it. I hope that NoFap will help me as I try to move on from that relationship and that it will improve my life in other ways as well. This is my first post so I hope I did it right.
Hey man, I like your attitude. I think you've done well by splitting,since you can be happier in the long run. I don't say it's that easy, but I trust you will get better if you stick to NoFap. How long are you planning to abstain,btw?
yeah, it's not easy to get over a relationship.. i'm also partly going nofap to get over my divorce. hope you'll be better soon. keep it up.
Sounds like you were sprung on her. It takes a little time to get over a relationship. You may go through that 4 stages of grief that psychologists mention.
