    Welp, I've just managed to relapse at day 104. But here's the thing, I've still not felt much improvements. I'm afraid I may have worse underlying mental issues at hand. Difficult to remember, days go by without them meaning anything, can hardly think all day everyday, no emotions, these symptoms, from what i read from another forum, point more to depersonalization. I came to this forum half a year ago desperate for answers as to what was wrong with me, but now after reading those other forums about depersonalization.. It fits me well i think.. I'm desperate for other peoples opinions right now too

    Recovery from porn can take a very long time and each person is different. Yes there is the 90 day challenge would should bring most people many benefits. But it takes years to heal the brain from all the damage that PMO has caused.

    It is not just learning not to beat the meat but how to deal with stressful situations in a new way. Learning to view women as more than objects. Learning to deal with the real issues as to why you use porn to "relieve your stress."

    Even if you are not a Christian you should check out the book Pure Desire.

    Was it 104 days hard mode? What were you trying to fight? ED? Or just P addiction? What was relapse PMO or just MO? I don't know about depersonalization, so can't help with that, but maybe with more details I might be of help.

    I was trying to fight MO,i guess more than anything, but i was going hard mode. I was desperate for an answer to my problems, and after watching those science videos about your brain on porn, i thought i had my answer. I always fapped to porn, but i dont think i was addicted to it, it wasnt a requirement for me. But stopping MO is very hard, but couldn't i chock it up to the fact that I'm 18 and still in my sexual prime? Also, my relapse wasn't to porn, it was just very light MO and i wasnt even thinking about any girls or anything, i just couldnt stop myself and went for it. Do you think that considering that fact, i could just promise myself a second chance and continue the streak, that maybe because it was just once and not even to porn, that no harm was done?

    Science is not the answer. This is a deep-seated problem, and you need deep-seated solutions. You need to change your very self, your emotional life, what you see as beautiful, what turns you on. It is not just about negation, not doing this or that, but about proactivity; develop yourself, educate yourself, inculcate a love of beauty in all beautiful things, read and listen to the best that has ever been thought and felt. Supercharge yourself, and then P will fall away like dust from your shoulders.

    Go Hard!!!

    Change my emotional self? I have no emotions other than anxiety, a relative of mine could die and i would have a hard time caring. I speak from experience with that. My grandfather died last May and as much as i actually wanted to try to care, i really didnt. I just sat and watched everyone else cry. I have a hard time seeing beauty, feeling things. It's been like this for at least a couple years.

    There's your problem. Start educating your emotional life. Read about it, read aesthetics, philosophy, try some poetry, listen to beautiful music. Some of this might be hard going at first, but you will acquire a taste for it. You will develop, and then never look back.

    I read about depersonalization so now I have an idea and if that's the case I don't think the nofap is the solution for you (not trying to discourage you in any way, just saying you might need different type of help). They say that there is specific curing method for that and its related to psychology and staff (no professional is such things sorry). What I was reading is the that many people suffer from this and there are clinics for it. One of the signs is what you are talking about, like lack of emotions, other were like being on autopilot (sort of) and living the life like inside your body but not really. I don't have that, but if what I am saying makes sense to you then you might really have that disorder, so you need to see a professional and maybe go to center. The article I was reading said that center was opened in London that treated 600 people with that. This might be far from you, but it shows there are many people with this, which means there might be other centers around you like that. If you think you might have that disorder you need to see a professional. In regards the streak, you did amazing I think, but I also think you might have different problem and although we all are here for you, we might not be qualified.

    Thanks for your reply, i never saw it untill now. I'm still trying for a day 180 streak, sort of as a better safe than sorry method... But it makes more sense that im just dissociated... I never really had any addiction to porn, but MOing is insanely hard to give up, but that could just be chalked up to being horny? I never did it more than once or twice a day most days..

    If you're only 18 yo, take it easy on yourself. It's a major achievement to reach that many days. You can keep going, just forget that you relapsed.
