Turning to PMO When Stressed

congratulation ur being very courageous against bad pmo stress.
highly appreciate ur strength and ur courage .....

 

I've done the same plenty of times. It took me long enough to realize that a big part of my stress and anxiety was because of my addiction to porn. I'd get stressed out about behind or overwhelmed at work and to escape all that I'd just go waste the day online. Well the reason I was behind and overwhelmed at work was because of this very behavior, wasting too much time on porn or staying up too late at night on porn and being too tired the next day to be productive. It's really a pretty vicious cycle that will only get worse without doing something about it. If you get stressed out about something and get the urge to go look at porn to escape it all, try just getting up and walking around a little, or going outside, or talking to someone. If that doesn't work for you then make a point to come on here and either write a journal post or read through what others have written. That's all worked pretty well for me recently.

 

^ What he said.

Porn will exacerbate your stress. You've developed a bad habit of turning to something that causes you stress to relieve your stress. Sounds like a destructive addiction. I assume your mind tries to present it as an escape from reality, but you can't escape reality, and it makes things worse. It's like a disorder in your mind as it's cravings are irrational and it's tricking you into doing things that are harmful. You have to break the bad habits and start good ones. " There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Try to find a healthy way to relieve stress if you can, jerking off and porn will only make it worse.

 

The last two responders couldn't have said it better.

Wish I could add to it but they've covered all the things I concluded for myself, too
