When I Am Going to be Healed

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Freeddom_Taker, Feb 13, 2022.

  1. Sadly I relapsed this morning on day 25.
    Now I gotta be cautious about chaser effects and binge.
    I don't know why I keep going back to pmo. Smhhh
     
  2. Day 5

    Life seems so dull. Feel 100 years old in a 30 something years old body. Life seems gloomy. Body been stiffed Since day 3. It's a burden to do a task that's required a lil bit of energy.
     
  3. I came back from playing basketball and I feel so exhausted after... I just wanted to get carried to my bed and wake up tomorrow. All I hear is cracking noise and brain fart. Body feel so sored even after shower.
     
  4. Day 8
    Body ached the whole day. Still have tinnitus, brain fog, low energy, bad memory, forgetfulness, cracking joints and pain. It's like I'm living in different world.
     
  5. Day 12
    Slept most of the day and still felt broken. I've realized after each relapse, I went to a sleep marathon for at least 3 weeks. Also it's like it's taking forever for a day to pass.
     
  6. Day 16
    Had a bad day today. I been sweating and having heart palpitation since this morning. I thought I was passing out tbh. Things were scary as hell.
     
  7. Guys, last night I had bad night till now. I had fever, headaches, excessive sweating, Cold. I came to find out I "have COVID-19."
     
  8. Day 25 of nofap

    Day 7 from COVID Fever

    I don't feel quite normal after the last relapse. Everything became worse after I caught the virus especially.

    Does the tinnitus go away once you start nofap? Iv heard tinnitus is a sign of withdrawal also, how long would that last?
     
  10. I've been had it since 2016. I've noticed it in that year after 2 years off and on nofap (2014). It come and go especially with each relapse but refuse to go away completely.
     
  11. If I don't stop pmo completely, I will be dead before time. #Shit'scary

    Struggled to get a good sleep last night. This morning I woke up early, started watching explicit music and videos and bam I found myself on p sites. Then I relapsed to nasty things.

    Brother no problem! we human fail many times don't get demotivated. Just spot out the mistakes you had done. In my case if I watch any type of enjoyment content like gaming videos or just a timepass type movie, it decreases my control power and I slip sometimes. So I have now completely given up from all those enjoyments and dooes not do a penny amount of trust to myself. I am too strict and that's the reason I am almost completely free from it, have no conscious urges but sometime I do some acts which I know could trigger and that's the mistake. But I have now learned no matter what I wont do those things again!

    I cant relate at all to your draw to porn, but the way you describe your brain or addiction driving you to the unhealthy things that lead you to get that sexual gratification. I mean your brain could draw you to go out and hire an escort, or it could draw you to get fit, dress well, get a better job and attract some hot woman to have sex with. But you are addicted to pmo, it is your source of sexual gratification.

    Ive never watched porn but I have all the symptoms but with sex with a normal person. I get addicted to a person, and have massive withdrawals when they leave. I could go and meet someone new and I have offers but only my ex will satisify me and she is all my brain wants. My brain is drawing me to her constantly, thinking of the few good things, and how we can get back together now or in the future, it wont consider what a major problematic person she is and that she had me in prison twice recently. Its fucked up what our brains make us do for sex.

    If you think about it, there are some fucked up reward systems out there far beyond PMO. Theres people that have sex with children, that are serial rapists, that have sex with inanimate objects, have sex with animals, have sex with hookers, cheat on their perfect partners and family just to satisfy what their reward system is crying out for.

    Masturbation isnt the worst morally but its the most accessible and therefore perhaps the most damaging. Its easy to whack off to porn four times a day, its pretty difficult to have sex four times a day.

    When I masturbate I rarely have an erection, I just sort of get a semi and then clamp it in place and beat it hard and fast to orgasm. The fact im not erect shows ive overloaded my reward system and im just forcing it out causing more damage.

    If I only had sex when I had a good natural erection id probably never have sex, althought with my ex id have sex regular with ED Meds. Causing damage to myself each time im sure.
