    Hi guys. I am Dane, a 21 year old male from a small town and I have been struggling with PMO for many many years. Just recently I have made a personal decision to stop PMO at all cost! It's such a blessing to find such a supportive group of people that plan to renew themselves in the same regard as me. I would like to list some of the terrible symptoms I am currently going through.

    -fatigue (heart rate is faster)
    -thinning and loss of some hair (both parents have a full head of hair)
    -unhealthy skin
    -anxiety like non other
    -depression (low self-esteem)
    -no motivation to go to a public setting (rather just stay at home)

    As you can see this being a problem is a total understatement.

    My future goal is to make it to 90 days and I believe I can achieve that and go longer. Of course with the support of you guys.
    God Bless You All.

    D-Train - I so relate to the anxiety. It comes out of nowhere and doesn't make sense. If it wasn't for others on this site telling me it's normal I would think I was going crazy. I also have mood swings and some anger (that I never had before). I think the anger comes when I start feeling impatient with people or situations and it comes from the "gotta have it now" part of the the addiction. I also want to isolate (and do at times).

    Hang in there. I have noticed that some of my symptoms are lessoning as the days go on. Don't make the same mistake as I did and got to porn-sub sites (sites that can be stimulating but not porn). It only increases the length of time you have the symptoms.

    Everything you just posted can be caused by low thyroid. Have you seen a doctor?

    Thank you so much. I'm 8 days without fap but the edging aspect is seriously killing me. I literally don't even have to look up porn because my fantasy will create something much greater sadly. I have been researching some meditation techniques and applying them

    Stopping edging is seriously easier said than done. Could you give me some tips on how to avoid urges and such
