people careful with depression!

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 23, 2019.

  1. i have not been depressed in over a month, but today something happened and well my mind has slipped back again into a bad place, for people depressed you must be careful, this is your most vulnerable state, porn and masturbation dont sound bad at all, when your depressed you want to relapse a lot to take the pain away even tho you know it is bad, so stay strong, right now i am battling strong urges and my defenses are lowered right now, but you must not let yourself slip even farther! masturbation and porn will put you there!.

    I find porn raising depression rather than calming it
     
  3. well porn and masturbation will give you release and a dopamine rush, making you feel better temporarily, i am not saying it makes things better, just the thought of relapsing is more appealing when depressed.

    Yeah , true.

    And when we relapse on long streaks we make our brain taste the sweet dopamine , which makes us crave for porn all again

  5. yah thats why abstaining right after a relapse is so hard because our brain got a taste of dopamine again, when you abstain you forget slowly what it is like and stop craving it.

    Yeah, depression is a bitch. I have wild mood swings going from being euphoric to having troubles to get out of bed while doing hardmode. The worst thing is, it can hit you two or three months down the road, when you're not expecting it anymore.

    Shit! I am now depressed af and hopeless. I view life through a nihilistic lens, yet I don't get any urges to PMO at all. In fact, I don't have libido at the moment. What frightens me most is that I could have lost my libido because of an antidepressant I took to ease off depression 1 month ago.

    Funny I've found porn can sometimes raise and sometimes lower immediate depression. But yes thank you for this. It's something we all need to take into account

    I felt the same for about two months with no relapse. Anhedonia real bad but lifting now little by little with the anxiety. Ruminating thoughts are the worst. Withdrawal sucks and stuff comes back to bite you when you least expect it l. Stay strong sir.

    Thank you for that post sir. I am the same with no libido for three to four months but I’m not going to take a pill. I believer it will take time to heal and everybody is different but it will work by keeping a clean lifestyle. I don’t want no pills to do the deed..

    I have a depression for over 9 years now. (because I don't listen to what my body tells me) Fap and porn work well as self-medication probably same way as antidepressants would do. But the only problem is it leads into low shitty life. But if you fapping often and watch porn often you won't mind :D

    The only problem is if you want to achieve something in your life. For me personally, fap and porn worked well for getting depression away. It only unconsciously fucked up my brain which will take a long time to repair.

    If u think for a second that u need porn from time to time , then u r mistaken my friend .

    We dont need porn even from month to month . If i watch porn on an often basis , that means i dont have a life , and i am still insecure about my abilities as man . A real man , who have a life , a gf , a job . Does not need porn whenever

    I have never said that I need porn. I said that porn in my life plus fap worked well as an antidepressant for many years and caused probably the same damage to the brain as antidepressants do. Simple as that. As you can see on my counter 46 days I am trying to get rid of this habit as I want to stop medicating myself.

    I meant that watching porn and fap often..it makes you so numb that it is hard to convince yourself that you have a shitty life and a problem.

    yeah take ur time, took me like 2 or 3 months to get again libido, erections and that stuffs. also think on suicide couple times why? because i am 21 years lol(all time i say my sexual life is fucked lol), maybe i dont think really clear, now i am ok, erections all mornings, erections if i have a fantasy (this wasnt able when i was on stress and anxiety) now is ok. JUST RELAX...............
