I desperately need advice. I am 21and an introvert , have no friends to talk about this. my parents think i am crazy and i am getting too depressed to care. Recently i started the 7 day challenge of no porn. I thought of starting all over with a little bit of exericising, so i can replace PMO with exercising. however , it did not stop it altogether and i failed again. On top of this , i have my major exams this month and january and have started to experience panic attacks. 7 days before , i cut myself from all distractions and porn altogether with bare minimum use for only studybreaks and exercise. I do not view any porn nor sexual images. This is working as of now , but i am getting severely depressed in the evenings. In the mornings , i am fine and when evening comes , i would be contemplating my own existence. during this time, i feel like my heart is ripping my heart and my chest muscles tighten. i dont know what to do. nowadays , i am afraid of evemings because it brings this pain and depression and i dread it. Does anyone know what i am experiencing?? Can anyone suggest me help????

You have got to stay as busy as possible...pick up a part-time job if necessary. Granted, a heavy workload can bring on stress which in turn may make you vulnerable to falling back into PMO...so I suppose you'd have to weigh the pros and cons. But - for me, staying busy more often than not, even if it all may be a tad bit more stressful, is better than having too much time on my hands. Good luck to you, brother.

guys , thank you so much for your reply. after my post, i was too depressed to look back at it. sorry it took me so long to reply but 2 days before, i did not experience depression at all nor the urge to watch porn and as of now , i have no plans of being addcited to pmo again. i do have depression but it seems rather mellow nowadays and i feel so confident that i know i can handle myself. my evenings have started out to be fantastic. i dont know how, but feels like some one reset my entire brain. i have been an introvert, now i started to make small talk with people. not that i do succeed everytime , but i am getting increasingly good at it. i have only one thought now. BE BETTER THAN WHO I WAS YESTERDAY
Bro, you need to find alternative activities at night to relace PMO, for example, you can help others on this forum, hope this will do you a favor
Right now , i have replaced my PMO with exercise and it is working perfectly. i can say confidently that i have not PMO'ed once during this streak ( which i started before the first post) and i am pretty sure i can continue this streak long... But nowadays , i start to become depressed during the evenings and even if i exercise, it doesnot go away.... i dont know know what to do Which is why i need help with my Depression......
