I have been doing NoFap for a little bit now. I feel like the HOCD frustration has increased. Like i keep looking for reassurances and keep telling myself i am not gay moreso than i ever did before. Is this normal for people with HOCD when you withdraw from porn?
I don't know how long a little is, but, once you start abstaining there is a time where urges get very strong. It's your brain fighting you to get what you were feeding it. Don't let it win. These urges will start to fade.
Well. I mean right now i am on a 21 day streak. Though i can say i have fapped a lot and i mean a lot less than i have ever before. When the new year started i went about two weeks before relapsing and than started again. Went a week or two than relapsed. And so on. I used to do it daily. Now i am hoping that this streak is the one.
I dont really have any urges. I think i am going through the flatline phase. I look at a girl and feel nothing.
Improvement is good. Once you hit around 4 to 5 weeks you should start noticing changes for the better.
i am in the same boat, can't get rid of these thoughts, currently 77 days of no PMO, relapse three days ago the porn after a 74 day streak
I come to this topic to say another thing. But i feel like if you break a streak of more than 2 months, you need to be warned: You just do it once, so, you are not backing where you started. But if you do it again in a few days, all the hard work will be loss. So keep on track, do it for us ok? Peace
