I am on the longest streak ever, and day by day my anger and frustration are increasing. I don't know why am feeling so angry and jealous of people around me. I am not that person. Please suggest something
Negative emotions define this addiction and when you try to quit, sometimes those emotions can become more intense before they get better.
@CK89 Thanks man....You have point. I am really having a hard time in, first controlling my temptations and then now this anger
Try the exercises on this site and look into bioenergetics https://traumaprevention.com It's a good way to release anger and tension My therapy sessions include yelling the word fuck, having temper tantrums and tension release exercises. It's actually great and I look forward to seeing my therapist weekly. It's not the usual sit down, talk about your bullshit problems and go on medication. Bioenergetics tackles anxiety and depression from a nervous system, body/ mind connection point of view. The most common TRE is easily done in bed before sleep. Try it daily
Sorry for the late reply brothers... @NotSoAverageJoe Thank you for the suggestion. I will surely look into it. @Runtilmylegsdropoff So, my blood boils really easily when something I don't like happens. For instance, any small argument can piss me off easily. Talk about politics, sports, health, any small suggestion from someone etc. etc., disapproval during conversations ruins my mind. Normally, I have the capability to keep myself calm but, the more I try to stay away from PMO, my anger increases.
I've also been having a lot of mood swings/anger outbursts too. Just trying to keep myself busy, lots of running etc to burn off the tension. Going to take up boxing as probably better to punch a bag wearing gloves, than a wall!
@Piehawker I agree..!!! Thats one of the best ways to release emotions as addiction is trying to hit back
@plant goodness Well, What shall I say, brother My anger due to negative emotions is not there because unfortunately, I couldn't achieve a 5-day streak after I posted this. I relapsed every second day. If I achieve this streak again, I can update you
Sorry to hear. Sounds like it is related to the PMO Addiction. Can you give it another go but spend some time alone? Not be very social for a week or two? It might help w/the frustration. Are you getting enough sleep, eating healthy, hydrated, exercise? If any of these are on the low or no side, it may be contributing to your irritability and anger. Don't give up.
Nope brother @MarloweArcher .....thank you for your concern the thing is, like everyone here, I am aware of my mistakes, but this PMO thing is a killer. I don't get much sleep, I eat healthy, I stay hydrated, I do exercise but not consistent in it. For my frustration, its a simple concept, when I am on a longer streak, my temptations come out through anger or frustration and irritation. Which many of us might have lived too.
