8 months healing

Hello brothers,

Just want to share with you that I'm starting my 9th month without porn !

After many tries I finally made myself able to heal deeply from the dark side of porn... 8 months back, I was deeply binging into it (femdom, transwomen......), had terrible HOCD (I was close to being hospitalized), depression and anxiety...

I started doing NoFap and not going back despite of bad withdrawals and urges to escape in sex... I started counseling a very good psychologist after a few tries with other ones whom didn't match with me. I accepted to take antidepressants, insisting on the fact that I did not want just to mask symptoms but really work on myself, find the cause of my issues and heal deeply. He heard my will and then we've started to work on it every week.

I've just quitted my medication, a month ago, again with withdrawals but I could manage them, and I feel good.

No more huge anxiety, depression, no more acting against my values, binging on porn and killing my self-esteem, no more massage parlors, escorts and so on...

I'm now in a relationship with a beautiful girl who has a 6y/o daughter. I've just found a well-payed job that allows me to have enough free time to enjoy life. I feel way more confident, proud of myself, and able to manage life difficulties when they come.

I wish everyone here to be cured from this addiction and all of its side effects.

Man Awesome!! Sounds like your back on track. May I ask what medication you took and did you cold turkey quit, or titrate down. I’m thinking I may try an anti depressant as well. I am going to bring it up to my dr. I’m having some symptoms that aren’t seeming to go away with time and are really interfering with work and day to day activities. Ok I’m not too deep into my nofap, but I’ve been having some other issue for some time now. Very proud of you again, success stories are the best bro

Brother great post! Have you used any particular method? Like meditation, self-talk. What is your exercise routine?

I took Effexor 150mg during about 10 months and then slowly slowed down. I would advise to add therapy to it in order to heal the roots of the disease, and absolutely not quit cold turkey. The brain need to adjust slowly during the withdrawal.

Thank you !

Therapy, work, self-compassion, meditation from time to time, reading, therapeutic massages once a month.

Thank you brother.
 
283 days since the start now. 9 month and a half.

Just need to remember how far I come from.

Suicidal thoughts gone, depression gone, 24/24 anguish gone. A lot of guilt and shame gone.

I still have a lot of work to do on myself, but my mind is a lot clearer now.

Quitting cigarettes next week, starting exercising to gain confidence and joy.

Need to add some positive things to my life now that I have deleted some negative.

Thanks again to this community. Tough times for now but I'll stay strong.
 
Great you are this far. Im taking panic attack / depression medication. When i dont take them 1 day I feel so much better but I get relapse stuff. So im going to the doctor to stop in a normal way. Did you take this kind of meds? and hows life now

I did. I slowly stopped... Reducing a little every 2 or 3 weeks. I had withdrawals everytime for a few days but it doesn't stay. I'm OK without any meds now.
