Guys, I think I'm going insane, I really don't know what to do anymore. I'm going to have 9 more relapses until I feel good. Due to the HOCD. I don't know what to do guys, I'm so frustrated, and all this is doing is making me worse, and yet I do it to make me feel better. How do I fight this.......
I really don’t have any tips for you reagarding this perhaps some guys can help. But keep fighting and don’t give up and don’t worry you will get better soon!
I feel like I've kind of given up lately. But when I'm not in this position right now, I usually drink Green Tea, some exercise, meditation if I can, practicing cold showers.
Have you got any professional help with your HOCD lately? Some problems are too big to handle by yourself.
There are two things you can choose to do. One is to do things in the real world and the other is to do things in a world of lies. Nothing in porn is real - it is all a giant lie. Or, you can do something in the real world. You can chat with friends online (The COVID bug makes real-life gatherings difficult), you can cook a meal or clean house. You can pop some corn and watch Netflix. Look around, the whole world is real. If you had two friends. One always lied to you and one always told you the truth, which friend would you want to be around? Why would you hang out with friends that lie? Porn is a liar, so, don't spend any time with it.
I did 6 counselling sessions a couple months ago, but didn't really tell him about the HOCD. He was trying to help me deal with my Social Anxiety, and in some aspects the addiction as well. I agree, I think I'm becoming way to overwhelmed with all my problems, I just can't deal with it anymore.
Thank you, I completely agree with you. I hate Porn so much, it's completely destroyed my life. But like in Star Wars, "No one's ever really gone". I believe it's still possible to get back the happiness that's gone. Can I ask you, is Masturbating with legs bad? My friend told me it has severe consequences, is that true?.
Telling him about HOCD is important, don't withhold any of this information, since a good counselor can help you targeted help. I think it may be very important the counseling is not superficial but really goes into the heart of your trouble. I've experienced that going to the core of my problems (in my case experiences in my childhood and youth) can solve multiple problems at once.
Yes. Going too deep into the penis causes Death Grip. Your legs are much stronger than your hand. It's the same with prone M, too much pressure on the nerves in the penis. Death Grip is real. -- D2L
I know it's very tough sharing a thing like HOCD with your counselor(From my own experience). But you have to understand that it's very crucial. Your success depends on your cooperation!(Together with doing nofap!)

You should continue doing those even when you feel down. Also maybe add in some new ones, keeping a daily written journal, starting a home improvement project inside/outside, etc. But continuing your counseling and telling your counselor all of your serious issues would likely be the best thing to do at this point.
The key to beat HOCD for me was not to fight it, instead to give in to it. I said ok, this is what I am now, who cares? And I slowly stopped thinking about that. It is just a suggestion we are all different but you could try for a while to see if it works for you. I also had a good therapist that thought me how to ridicule the HOCD in my mind. Don't force yourself it makes the compulsion worse. I beated the HOCD unfortunately I didn't with my fetish and porn addiction yet
