Hi everyone, I come here to report my incredible frustration and almost giving up trying to stop this disgusting habit, I've been fighting this since I was 12 years old, today at 19 I still haven't stopped, I'm filling myself with debts and feelings of guilt because of this, no I can't stand doing this anymore, as much as I remember I can only go 2 days without masturbation, I tried a lot until I was mentally exhausted, I just can't stop, I'm a guy who does sports often, but I still can't stop myself masturbate, I have serious self-esteem problems, depression, I simply wanted to be able to date, get married, and have a happy family, how am I going to get someone like that? as?
I'm sorry for the poorly produced text, I just don't know how to express it properly, but I want help, I can't stand this anymore
If we can be our own worst enemy then, as cliche as it sounds, we can be our own best friend. We must shift our focus to seeing ourselves in the light of friendship. Ask yourself these questions: Would you kick your friend when they’re down? Would you betray your friend? Would you call your friend a loser or piece of shit? Would you blindly follow/agree with a friend and not challenge or encourage them to do better? Would you say to your friend, “you have no worth until you’ve reached this or that point, skill, level”? If you would never treat your friend like that, then stop treating yourself like that. Relapses suck, but they can be transformed into opportunities to practice authentic friendship towards ourselves and this is something we do when we get back up.
