    Hi all,

    I do not even know how to overcome my repeated urges, the day before I promised not to PMO again, but it seems really hard to me. Well, you can see me advising others to be faithful, strong and keep their way etc. But it all seems superficial confidence, I have a bigger problem inside that gives me no way to be able to see the whole picture. I feel debilitated without PMO and feel a stronge urge to binge but after indulging in those videos meaninglessly for hours I am having a deep physchosis that I am being not even able to think clearly what to do next.

    As I have just graduated from the college I am home all the daytime and nightime so I think I am gonna keep this till find a job but I am not determined at all. It seems like I have lost all of my emergency to reach my goals. Feel nothing to go any forward. Netiher anything is fueling me nor I am endeavoring for it. Just stucked at nothingness. Feel nihilistic. The moment comes my hope rises at a level that nothing is able to restrain my power, moment comes I feel devastated with everything. I am obsessively thinking everything around me for hours without any sign movement of my body, I t appears that I am sitting on the couch, yes physically right, but My soul leaves me thinking for hours. And this state of mind is no noubt to haunt me in every probable moment of my day. You know what I am telling you? Yes probably. And do not let me alone guys. Need help here. Desperately
     
  2. The only thing that took care of all my problems was Jesus and through his Holy Spirit has sustained me from going back into that hell.

    If you'd like to try (secular) ways, there is everything from therapy, AA, other support groups in the community.

    I know exactly the darkness you are in. I hope you can find relief in whatever you do

    Thank you for reading my post and supporting me, sometimes I do think that The god is the only one to help me here with this case. It does not matter whether you are christian or I am Muslim but we need god in any case. But you know, sometimes nothing changes even if how instensely I put on a faithful manner towards god, it feels more desperate and shameful after praying but nothing reached and back into that obsession.

    And it feels comfortable that you feel me, I needed this.
     
  4. Your abuse is the result of your depression, not the other way around.
    You are isolated, depressed, deprived of affection, care, meaningful interaction and love.
    As long as you remain this depressed isolated mess, without purpose in life, you will suffer all forms of pain including abuse of what ever happens to be available.

    Humans need to have friends, intimate relationships, hobbies, they need to be loved. They need goals in life, they need purpose.
    You have none of the above, so you fall apart.

    Worst punishment known to man is isolation, it breaks the psyche it drives people to depression and insanity.
    It is clear that most people suffering here with what they call porn abuse, actually suffer from their long-term isolation and deep resulting depression.
    Your goal should be to have a fulfilling life every day, not stopping use of pornography.

    Once you feel that others need you and depend on you, once you feel loved and respected, once you feel like you are important and loved and you have things to do and no time to waste - you will naturally find effective ways to stop abuse.

    Thank you for writing me a long view of yours.

    I do not know whether it is pornography causing this depression or my isolation leads to pornography addiction. But I am sure that there is something inside pushes me back from everything that I am willing to do. I have so-called anxiety that appears when I am in public even if I am sure that I am good-looking in appearance, affectionate in my relations with others. Things get worser whenever I idle around in the public. My mood changes sharphly and I am not being even able to have a chat with others I could come across.

    To be honest, I suffered from my relations with others too much, While I need to be accountable for my stuff, my friends like meeting them when they wanna meet me , have fun with them, instead, I choose to be indulging in pornography for hours. This state not only prevents me from being social but also prevents me dealing with my own responsibilities. And that sucks.

    I do not have a good nutrition, I lost my appetite for the foods I love. The result is, losing weight. It affects me physically. Do not know what to do, How to overcome these spiral downs.

  8. The urges are always going to be there, you have to do more than just say you are going to quit. You have to have a strategy in place and replace the porn with something meaningful. Start with just a walk. I have found meditation and exercise to be the two biggest helps in this journey. In a addition you need to find someone you can talk to everyday, whether its here in your real life, you need an accountability partner.


    If you have been using porn for a long time, the reward and pleasure centers of your brain are overloaded. Things that used to give you pleasure, will stop giving you pleasure. You need time to heal your brain. To gain back normal pleasure levels. This is where meditation comes in. Mediation is learning on how to focus on the moment and not react to every urge, thought, or distraction. Its very helpful now when I get an urge to close my eyes, go into my meditation breathing and focus on the moment. Normally the urge goes away.

    The other thing I found very helpful is learning to see my addiction as a separate entity. I call it "IT" (you can read my journal in the over 40 section if you want). Your PA has a hold on you, but it doesn't define you. You are a separate person and it is holding you back. Its a process, believe me, because I don't always distinguish the two.

    You really need to find a deeper why.
    I can feel you and i definitely feel what you've written. Porn creates so much evil in ur life's and it's one of the worst diseases a man can face. Especially when ur addicted because it so bad.

    As i always tell people: u need to find a deeper reason for all this. Right now ur just living day by day probably. Ur just surviving. And while ur doing it u cope with the pain and the daily suffering by tapping every day. Take a look inside and focus on yourself and that's probably the hardest part about NoFap. It makes you look inside and see what happened, what's happening, what hurt you and what else there is you can offer the world.
    This is not just a game or a trend, it is a fucking lifestyle people have to live, enjoy and experience every day. Once you're addicted to porn you'll be forever. The pictures will probably never go away but you have to fight through it and by that you'll become better.
    Dude, find ur passion. Find a hobby. Find an exercise.
    Whatever it may be just find something you can lose yourself in.

  11. Bless you brother. The Lord has heard your cry, in my own life I had had to fail I dunno how many times before the answer was right in my face the whole time. I had to remember the answer was always there, but demons have worked against us to receive. Do not lose hope. God has not forgotten about you

    Well I think that most of my problems derive from Pornography. And people do understand me here. Thank you for your suggestion

    Yes,
    Thank you for writing me such a long supportive view,

    And I do agree with you that a baby step put into action can solve so much things. After considering your opinions I come to a conclusion that I am just stucked at the point where things repeat themselves constantly. As for your suggestions, I think meditation is helpful when there are so much things in your head which will give way to an obvious relapse, this phenomenon I mean meditation is similar to salah in muslimism that gives you the oppurtunity to get away from the negativity that your thoughts impose you.

    I believe that about 80 percent of my vulnerabilities are going to disappear when I achieve to let pornography out my life. Because I firmly agreed that my sexual identity has already been degenerated by using porn on a regular and excessive basis to ease my anxiety and pains over ten years. You know what I am talking about, my taste for pornography has escalated on the categories I have been indulging in. That is enough to detect the situation whether pornography causes these mental disorders or not.

    Brother, thank you for rooting for me here.

    And I want to tell you that I am not kinda person that who is lazy to do things. I do have so many passions in life like playing instruments, learning language, doing sports but the case is, I am discouraged by the evil of pornography and I cannot meet my potential here. You know porn leaves you incomplete inside with so much pain.

    I do know that It will also lead to sexual problems, maybe it already did it as I have never indulged in a sexual experience, but that is not the issue now, A porn addict, such as yourself, will understand what I am trying to give out by explaining this mental state. But maybe you are right that I have not found my ultimate passion to engage in with all high spirits. I have already started to schedule things for my life.

    Firstly, I believe that we have to regain our self esteem, self confidence here which will require a self-critism that will enable us to see what happens inside. Pornography is mostly bigger than the problem it creates. I mean the root of the problem is always the case here. Maybe we have to forget all about our defeats and concenrate on the reasons for relapses here. From my experiences, blaming has never worked here. Being solution oriented is much more improtant than anything here. Because possibility of a failure is always there and I have stand up again.

    yes, you are right coming with the reasoning that maybe our problem is just talking about it but never really targetting for a quit sincerely. Action talks louder than the words. This is the truth. And I will take it serious this time. Whatever may come I am gonna stick to this with planned actions in case of a urge which very possible in every probable moment.
     
  15. This is exactly why I responded to your post.
    You believe, just like so many others, that your problems are caused by some external force - pornography.
    Ok then, go in to that dungeon...
    I hope you find your way.

    Well I do not believe that Psychiastrists will solve this, Because I tried it but She just prescribed a antidepressant which has not faded my problems away at all. You know it just escalated, sometimes I do firmly believe that these medicines poisons the bodies and leave more negative effects than its benefits. I do not know how they can be a solution to this? Thank you for your wish.
     
  17. Did you tell your psychiatrist you blame porn use for you problems?
    Do you tell him/her you are alone?
    Did you really share?
    There is no dobt things do not go well with professionals, but people most often misrepresent the problem, because they are afraid to actually face it.

    Solving this problem need change on behavior, radical change. If you keep same behavior, you will never stop abusing. Behavior defines who you are and who you are defines what you do.
    And if you are worthless, lost and depressed - you have thing worth to stop abuse for. Why should you stop then? For what?
