Depression hit me like a bomb

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Nov 16, 2020.

  1. I feel so trapped and I'm losing my fucking mind. I wish I had someone to talk to but apart from my family whom have given up on me, nobody even knows I exist. My anxiety is sky high and I'm too depressed to do anything. I'm holding on and waiting this out but fuck is this hard. I'm not even halfway through the 90 days and it's gonna take so much longer than that until I'm back to normal again.

    I feel you bro. I've had on and off debilitating depression and exhaustion for the last 25 days. If some days, all you can do is to go another day without porn, that day is a win. Even if you don't do anything else. Don't test to see if your D still works, your brain is trying to trick you into relapsing because the initial cravings weren't enough. It's trying to make us panic. I'm in my 4th flatline (since day 59), yes it's brutal and crippling but your brain is resetting so trust the process. It's hard not to lose hope, I know. I have finals coming up in my college classes and I can barely study the brain fog is so bad. You may have to sacrifice temporary things to get through these withdrawal phases, but in the end it just takes time. Time is your greatest friend. Just do the best you can, one day at a time.

  3. Thank you, you're absolutely right. I'm just trusting in the process right now and letting my brain and body do their thing. Even though I'm suffering, at least I can face myself in the mirror knowing I'm doing the right thing. Stay strong out there and good luck on your finals. One day at a time.
     
  4. You can get through it, people say it's a much better feeling once you're on the other side. Do your best, and keep busy with other work/hobbies. Stay positive! :)

    Yessir. In a year we're gonna look back on this with a better lifestyle and we're gonna be so glad we suffered through.

    Wow @Maurice0, Yet you're on Day 38. Good going man. The fact that you keep going to see day 38 says something about you man. Even when thigs get tough, you're struggling through it. Great Respect for you.

    When you feel depressed and want to give up, remember, I don't know about others, but, I look up to a person like you, A Fighter.
