It appears that my brain is trying to fill the void created after quitting porn with over fantasizing. But problem is that i sometimes let my brain fantasize. Reason is that i have to prepare for a very tough exam and if i will stop fantasizing, i will go through intense flatline and i won't be able to prepare. Please help me mates over this issue. What should i do ?
A simple answer as put: You're going to deal with it. It's not as bad as you think. I have been a flat line for a couple of month, it gets easier as time progresses.
Once ur streak hit 2 weeks and beyond , fantasies will get harder and harder to imagine. Ur brain will keep trying but it's only natural, the trick is not to feel guilty and give in, get triggered and lead urself to relapse. I always say to new fapstouranuts, the key to succeed is resilience, let time do the curing. U have to go through fantasies, morning Woods, wet dreams without feeling an ounce of guilt, let the natural recovery process take its time.
What are slip ups ? Another problem is that i am an excessive daydreamer. It is really difficult for me to control my brain.
I am not really afraid of flatline. I have gone through it once. It ended up with a porn dream. I think i will go through a second flatline if i will stop fantasizing and daydreaming.
I get extemely horny in morning and it gets really difficult for me to stop fantasizing. Yesterday i fantasized so much that today i am feeling like i have realapsed.
@Haizam: Agreed I recently relapsed due to looking in Psubs - with the aim not to relapse. Which I did of course My advice for myself/you - find some activity, engage yourself in really actively doing something, albeit taking a walk, reading a book, calling someone, but what I tell myself is that it's really super hard to only use 'discipline' when lying down on bed or sitting in a chair to stop fantasizing or worse. Just doing something as simple as cooking something, doing the laundry, read something. Just do anything else.
