I don't know about OCD (I've never been diagnosed as such) but the negative thinking cycle that comes with my other mental health issues (depression/anxiety/cPTSD) can definitely act this way. It is definitely better when I stay away from PMO, and when I get out into public even for a walk. I meditate every day (or at least try to) and I incorporate this mindfulness into my other activities. So I make going for a walk a mindful/meditative practice, and cultivate my sense of belonging to a larger entity that is the world. This definitely helps me keep the obsessive-type thoughts from overwhelming my mind.

Thanks mindful, I do believe going out helps me deal with my mental issues, is being home that usually messes with my mind. I hope with more time away from p, I can see through my b.s. mind. I think through all this year's I been in the pmo cycle, I have developed a weak mind set, meaning I am easily manipulated by my own mind. If I'm able to finally quit this pmo crap, I think I have chance to regain my peace of mind back, is just my thoughts at the moment.

Same here , when I'm outside or I have work to do at some place I totally get caught up in that work and forget those thoughts , but when I came home I start to feel down and those thoughts came to haunt me again , I dunno what to do to get rid of this habit , I don't watch porn though , I just have this abnormal urge to m or o and it sucks because it worsen my anxiety and led me to depression again which is another problem that I have , I hope we can help each other in this forum , I would love to have a pal or someone that have the same plate as mine so we can help one another and rise to the better
