Is time slowing down for anyone else as they heal?

I totally agree! And while it may be all in our heads, who cares? I also am finding I am able to think more clearly. I could never really stay on task before. I have the patience now to begin and finish something. Hooray!

 

Interesting, for myself I think things are much slower because things aren’t chaotic. As much as I was addicted to porn I was addicted to chaos too.

 

My day especially the weekends would be centered around pmo. I would spend hours on camsites or searching for a video to act out to and before I knew it the day would be over and I got nothing accomplished my apartment would reflect how I felt on the inside, dirty. When I go thru a day with no pmo I have so much time so I find myself making to do lists. Best of luck to you all and may we all use our time wisely.

 

What you say definitely makes sense I have experienced that myself. I remember after almost two weeks of NoFap, everything started to slow down (both on the in- and outside), the energy surged and I got in a totally new mood and sense of control.

 

I can absolutely agree with that. I started to reflect on my lifestyle only because I always felt rushed and stressed. It was as if time ran like sand through my fingers. I couldn´t get a grip on it, I would always feel isolated and seperatet from all the others around me because I just felt my own life racing away and didn´t know what to do against it... Realizing this and starting to look for a cause and solution brought me to NoFap and I can´t tell you how glad I am.

Now, after 98 days without P, I seem to recognize much more of the world and people around me and when I take a walk I conciously slow down my step to enjoy the moment better. It feels as if I am starting to adjust my own inner clock to the actual pace of the world around me again. It is undescribingly good to experience this.

 

That´s what I hoped to reach by sharing my experiences. I´m so glad it helps you.

 

That is exactly what I talk about. Just this morning I had one of these little sensations on my five minute walk to work: I left my flat already thinking about what I would have to do at work today, then stopped mentally and told myself I could think about that as soon as I had reached my office. I took a breath and slowed down my step, focusing on the fresh morning air and tried to clear my head. A few steps later I passed a tree with a small fluffy bird sitting on a branch, chirping out a funny little melody. As I reached my office minutes later I was still smiling about this beautiful little creature...

I can´t tell you how stupid and insignificant the thought of writing down stuff like this would have felt for me just a few weeks ago. Today feeling immediate and unfiltered emotions caused by something so natural and small almost makes me break down in tears of relieved.

I have experienced it too. Iam a student and when i was under PMO i couldnt find time to complete studying for exams, but now i could confidently accomodate more subjects within the timeframe and yes when not under PMO time gets crazy slow.
