Hi guys I'm on day 8 and I'm having severe anxiety rapid heart beat can't stop thinking about it porn and doing it this normal?
This is normal brother, just have to ride it out and distract yourself from it. I'm in a flatline right now and I'm getting anxiety waves that make me feel breathless and make me breath heavy and make me have a hard rapid heart beat. I ride the wave, it leaves and then comes back.
Yeah, dude. Usually happens to me sooner than this. Don't make the mistake I did. I caved. You got this, man!
It is. For a lot of us we used FAP to cover all sorts of unpleasantness, including anxiety, fear, sadness, depression, lonliness, etc. etc.. What happens when you stop "using" is that it all comes to the surface, all the crap you've been burying. If you look up meditation methods that helps a lot, particularly deep breathing exercises. I use an app called "calm" that helps me. Essentially, what you do is focus on your breathing: deep breath in, hold (that is important), and deep breath out. Alternatively, in a pinch you can simply try holding your breath for a while.
I relapsed today...I actually ejaculated a little bit without my hands, just by watching, and finished it off in the shower. Now I am afraid of brain fog tomorrow. I seriously have no clue how to beat this addiction..even when I go out, I am triggered by the girls I see. Society is all about sex these days.
You beat it by continually fighting. There are also established groups out there that have helped pave the way - look for an SA meeting in your area.
I was 14 days in. Dealing with chaser effects now. I am feeling disoriented, could be anxiety acting up. No signs of high depression, had minor to mild depression few days ago.
Indeed. Let's play this game one more time. The porn addiction runs deep, I even wanted to play in porn myself when my urges hit like this stuff runs deep. I have more respect for IS fighters than porn-stars and low quality loose women, bleh. Locario fan talks about this also on youtube. Guys that want advice check him out, dude is legit. See you bra's in 3 months. I think I need to hide electronics or something, even when I am bored. I got to.
It's normal and it won't last forever. This article might help you: https://jsparkblog.com/2014/05/27/question-trying-to-quit-porn-and-keep-failing/ It's written by a Christian but even if you're not a believer it should be beneficial.
It's almost like you and the brain are two different people. He's your agent and is always looking out for you. For years you've paid him 30 dollars an hour, and all of a sudden you stopped paying him. He gets mad and makes you feel terrible, threatens you, gets on your nerves and makes your life miserable. But in time he gets tired of trying to convince you to pay him 30 dollars an hour, and is willing to settle for less, for 28, for 25, you just gotta wait 90 days for him to accept giving you services for free. And trust me he will, he needs you as much as you need him.
Yep it's totally normal man. I think it's a sign of addiction. Whenever you can't get your mind off of something, it usually has a big impact on you, and you have a lot of dopamine attached to it. Do activities that provide you a natural amount of dopamine, like working out, riding your bike, working on a buisiness, etc. Hope that helps.
