    İ was in the 30th day when I relapsed yesterday and i was completely depressed before the relapse but the depression increased after it. To that far i waked up in the night just to cry about what i did .

    But after crying i found myself relapse again although when i was watching porn i felt that is not the thing i want i don't like porn but i was still watching why?

    Note : when i say relapse i mean watching porn and masturbate for 3 or 5 times within at least 2 or even more hours.

    And now after this relapse by 2 hours i feel a strong depression and sadness . And all i can think about i lost everything, because I'm planning to go to therapist after finishing the 90 days which till now i couldn't reach the. And the maximum streak i could reach till now is 60 days i reached the period for about only 2 or 3 times or maybe 4 times maximum.

    And I joined this site about 3 years ago and i was fighting my addiction before it since i was 13 or 14. And now I'm 21 years old.

    Before relapsing i was depressed and feel lonely and desire for feeling of intimacy and romance and now i feel more lonely and self worthless. And don't think about romantic emotions and feelings.

    How can I prevent myself from relapsing again?, i deleted social media app especially because my last few relapsed was because the hot sexy pictures in this app that i see it accidentally and continue searching for it
    what else can I do

    Sometimes i feel i wanna harm my self which is against my religious beliefs but even when i did that after first ejaculation i complete relapsing as nothing has happened .

    İ seriously really hate myself and don't deserve even being alive.

    Please advise me about how not to relapse again?

    Hey don't feel too bad brother! By age 25 I'd never even managed to go more than 2 weeks clean. Among many other things, I've realized for me this is about choosing to truly grow up. You want to recognize a PMO as a step backward in your development, but not a death blow by any means. The focus should be on the positive goal of that Bigger man–in mind body and spirit—that you're meant to become. The faster we overcome this herdle, the faster we'll develop, and you've already got a head start on many of us.
    I actually thought it was impossible to improve for years, but that's just devil's lies a in my opinion. I deny them.

    Get offline and stay offline. Do things unrelated to your computer and devices. I know it sounds impossible, but its possible if you try. During early days of recovery you need to avoid all temptation. For us, temptation comes from browsing the internet. Turn your devices off during critical, bored and isolated moments of the day. And force yourself to do other things. This is especially crucial during the first week when urges are strongest.

    Look what you are going through is completely normal . Honestly no one I mean no one can recover from porn without having relapsed a couple of times . Relapse is part of the process and unfortunately unavoidable . But i promise you someday you are going to be able to resist the urges and maintain a streak . I personally have been 2 years clean (cold turkey ) and in order to turn my life upside down and make it better i have accepted that i am human and relapse is nothing to be ashamed of . If you hated yourself for real you wouldnt be trying to recover and improve . You have a lot to live for and a great future waiting for you . Just have faith and trust me when i say that even if it seems impossible to recover and achieve your goals you have already made the most important step , your choice to stop .
    In my first days and failed attempts i tried the following : 1 Cold showers help take your mind out off porn .
    2. Find something that you really love doing , something that makes you happy . You need this to keep yourself motivated .
    3. Go for walks and exercise as much as you can , in that way your brain will produce dopamine in natural ways and wont make you relapse in order to get some .
    4. Find support from people you trust or even comment here about everything that worries you
    And things will get better . I give you my promise. I am 18 and been addicted to porn for about my entire life , so i know how desperate someone can be . If anyone told me , 2 years ago before all this change , that i could change and have a happy life , i would have said yeah i dont think so mate . But i did it and you can do it . If you manage not to give up and keep going thats all you need . And when things are really bad think about the WHY am i fighting for . I literally would prefer to go through hell than feeling that hopless , and take back my life .
    I hope i could help , if you need anything I am here to talk.

    Thanks for you all, you really helped me.but
    Could you answer me please about this question
    How can I manage thoughts of being lonely and i won't find the suitable girl for me especially after immigration , because I'm planning to immigrate after graduation. Because these thoughts were the main reason for my depression before relapse because i started to look for girl online in the Facebook to end by watching pornographic picture and therefore relapse for 3 days.

    This was the cause of relapse.
    And why do i feel i wanna watch porn although when i watch it i don't feel i like it anymore, but i feel I'm in need for love and romantic relationship.but still have desire to watch it.

    You need to love yourself and be happy being alone. Otherwise you will act needy and desperate with a woman. You will create an unhealthy relationship with a woman who is also lonely and emotionally vulnerable. Once you start to feel love for yourself and stop PMO for a while, your natural sociability will return. And thats where all the superpowers for female attraction come from. It comes from healing your brain and getting comfortable being present in the world without anxiety.

    It doesnt matter where you are in the world, I have travelled a lot even without speaking the language, and you will attract people to you. But you need to care for your emotions with some kind of spirituality, religion, philosophy and literature to soothe your soul and open your mind to the great legacy and classics of mankind.
