G'day mates

Greetings everyone, I thought today is the day i'll begin to become more self aware of the issues surrounding PMO and do something about it. I'm a 20 year old who had a big chunk of my life consumed by PMO since i was quite young.

I have intermittent tinnitus, a ringing sensation in my ears that i sometimes regularly experience. I've had this for years and i believe it to be linked to stress. After reading through this forum i've noticed that other people have experienced tinnitus as well due to PMO or withdrawal. I'm not at all motivated through a possibility that my tinnitus will disappear as i've learned to live with it but it would be a nice thought.

My main motivator for abstaining from PMO is to regain control. throughout my life i've been dominated by anxiety and stress without a real healthy coping mechanism. I'm often left in a state where i'm indifferent about the world around me and myself. I sometimes question my individuality and sense of self and a main contributing factor to that is i devoid myself emotionally through PMO.

Thank you for having me onboard, i'll be checking in regularly, learning to control my impulses and how to deal with failure. I imagine this will be a long journey for myself.
