Hello everyone.. I'm a 33 years old Scandinavian guy. I have been using porn since 12 or so. Today I'm totally depressed and I can sleep over 15 hours a day (!!!). I'm quit hundered that this is due to PMO. I have worked so enormously hard everyday in my youth and now my life have become "a living hell"! Don't know what to do. I have become suicidal due to this!
Actully I don't know why I've PMO:d in my youth. I just did it. And didn't think about the conseqences. I would rather have an agressive cancer than have it this way...
It's unfortunate to hear that my friend. I assume you have come here to quit. It will be a tough fight. Just like in a fight, when it gets hard just pace yourself, one step at a time, I punch at a time. As always you have plenty people here, in your corner, to support you. It will get better. Be strong!
I felt the exact same way bro. I stopped PMO, started meditation, working out, and reading and my life is immeasurably better. I'm not fully rebooted and won't be for quite some time but I have already accrued many benefits.
we've all felt that way at one point or another But trust that IT WILL get better Thousands of man before us have gotten better including myself . I had the same suicidal though and the same angers It will past and you WILL HEAL guarantee Give yourself 30 days of total abstinence Youll see the difference Stay strong big brother
RG, welcome to the forum. Where are you today? Have you stopped looking at porn? Stopped masturbating? Stopped orgasms? Sounds like you were using porn for over 20 years. If you've given it up, and you're 're-booting', you are probably going through a flatline. Anxiety, depression, zero libido, penis shrivels up/shrinks. IT'S TERRIBLE! But, it means your brain is adjusting back to 'normal.' It sucks going through it, but it's supposed to be fantastic when you come out the other side. I would recommend you read as much as you can. Look at 'Your Brain On Porn', and 'Reboot Nation.' And this site is terrific. Read a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of success stories. You'll find out what other guys did to get through it, and you'll get some serious motivation at the same time. Best of luck to you! I know you can do it. Knock off the suicide talk, and for God's sake, don't wish for cancer. Jeez. You're going to be fine! NO PMO! NO MATTER WHAT! You got this!!
I have been at the door of suicidal thoughts around sexuality and masturbation. Not a nice place to be. Hang in there and take it one day at a time. I wish you well in your quest!
Yes, I have stopped with PMO some month´s ago. But I have never been an everyday porn user. I have used it in periods in life. My own recommendation for myself is to try a medicin like Voxra (Bupropion). I´ve read that it affects the dopamine! And that people have got much better from it. Noone can really understand how bad I feel. But thanks for caring.
Both of my parents committed suicide. Mom when I was 9, dad when I was 18. I do not understand how bad you feel, of course, but you have all my empathy and compassion. I truly hope you find something that makes you feel better, be it medical, counseling, no PMO, or a combination of all of them. Best of luck to you. I'll be rooting for you!
Hello fellow Scandinavian and greetings from Stockholm! As others have said, we're all here to help each other out fighting this addiction. If something bothers your mind, feel free to ask an advice or tips from people here. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. I personally recommend going 'Hard Mode', which means abstaining Porn, Masturbation and Orgasm (PMO for short) for 90-days to let your brain fully Reboot themselves. It might sound hard, but it's the fastest way to recovery. Believe that things are going to get better. Because they are. Stay Strong Bro! -Mike
As I understand it my problem isn´t all about PMO or not. Although I think it is the major reason. I have had social anxiety since I was a child. I have been grown-up with the claim to be a man and to not complain. Thanks for your empathy and compassion.
The porn is in all cases thrown out the window.. I have Safe Surfer in my phone, K9 protection and Parental Control in my laptop and I´m going for the hard mode.
Talk to someone that you know about it, and your family. Don’t ever be alone. Always surround yourself with positive people. Always use porn blockers on your electronics
