    I'm on the edge of relapsing. I'm on day 122 and got hit with this terrible shit. I'm getting hit by stress depression and anxiety all at once. And it's driving me crazy. Is this normal?

    What is the addiction you are recovering from? Porn or masturbation or both?

    I doubt you will feel better if you'll relapse. Think about this. You already made a long steak and it would be pity to destroy this achievement.

    I got hit by depression and anxiety around day 200 and since then it's been harsh. With the help of medication I got slightly better but I'm still far away from feeling normal.

    Wow you have 100 more days than me! Don't stop now. Keep your streak going! You are a pioneer in uncharted territory :) Try to proceed with an open mind to the possibilities of your life... I am going through a tough time but I see it all as everything I was running from when I did PMO... Now its my time to face it!

    Good job dude , keep it up ,

    I am on day 3

    Recovering from both porn and masturbation

    I guess u have a good control on yourself as u have reached 3months ++, use that power to control ur stress and depression, find a root reason what is causing that and if u found it , get rid of that thing

    From what I have read, your feelings can be expected. What strikes me is that this far into recovery, the symptoms are not related to anything physical, which leaves the mental. At the root of our addictions are psychological dis-eases, and ultimately we need to address those parts of ourselves. As someone mentioned, a relapse is not going to help you feel better, and may feel worse! This is a time for either prayer or meditation, to sit non-judgmentally with yourself. These feelings aren't good or bad, they just are. But they are not YOU. You, in this time, are a good and decent person who is working to become heal and move on. Sit with those thoughts.

    Four months is an impressive run. Make it one more day, then another, then another, until you've worked your way through these emotions.

    Good luck and Peace.
