    Hi, I have been depressed/tired/irritated lately and I'm trying to reach my goal of 90days. It didn't help that i had a job interview this morning with one rude creature! so what can I do when i am down to reach my goal?

    Thanks.

    Ive been there before. Its a vicious cycle. You pmo, feel down, become more open to negative experience/feeling, pmo to feel good temporarily then feel down again straight away.

    Give up the pmo once and for all, find other positive things to fill the time and capitilise on thr extra energy.

    the more you can do these good habbits, the more you will realise after pmo'ing what is is you are missing out on in life.

    Cold showers in the morning and working out whenever you find time are good for discipline.

    Also if you are struggling with 90 days make it 30 then adjust it.

    Thanks, is just that when someone is rude to me I tend to think about it when i get home. And this usually result in me fapping. I know I need to be emotionally strong.

    Or get an AP you can talk to when you're feeling down...someone to help take your mind off of your rejected feelings of inadequacy and loneliness. It has helped me a great deal.

    I feel the most important thing for me is to make sure you have other things to do that will help your small "depression" feelings. I actually find singing in my car REALLY help from the endorphins singing releases. Another thing that helps SOOOOOO much is visiting this site every time I feel like it and reading peoples articles. they can be very inspiring and help you remember why you started this in the first place.

    one thing to remember: PMO will not take away your problems, AND the pleasure only lasts a couple of minutes...then your back to square one... perhaps back to square negative one...

    Currently feeling down/irritated. Had a course interview last week I was hoping to get in. Just got the news I was unsuccessful. Not going to allow this set back lead me to PMO.
