    What exactly did you do, i am assuming it was with same sex or transwoman? well if that's the case then i understand that its hard for you right now but you'll get over it and the good news is that it happened once and i don't think you're gonna do it again judging by how it made you feel, i read some posts on this forum where guys said they did that for months before their bubble popped. i read a post where a guy said he cross dressed and acted like a prostitute for months, Its goid you realized it very early, Give it time, just don't think about what you did, just see it as you made a mistake, we're human beings we make mistakes, you'll get better Inshallah, I've prayed for you to Allah, everything's gonna be fine

    You don't need to be cool with it, you just need to move on from it. It's obviously possible for you because you were feeling better not long ago. Like I said you are just having an off day.

    Thank you man. It messes with my mind heavily sometimes. Its a tug of war inside. The devil wins sometimes though. Idk why his pull feels stronger. Im trying to find strength. Im trying to get out of here. The issue is im not in a physical place where i need to walk out and leave. Im having a hard time walking out the mental darkness. Feels like im stuck in my mind and cant go anywhere

    This is so hard to ignore man. Feels like i lost my soul. Every minute is so painstaking when before was smooth and beautiful. Im stuck on the other side of the dichetomy now wishing i could go back.

    This is way out of my element. My temper is an extremely short fuse i can only hold myself up for so long then boom i crash back down. I dont know how to maintain consistent peace.

    Everything about this is so weird. Why did i create this for myself, this is extremely unneccessary. Unbelievable man for real.

    Lost all drive to live a meaningful life. Im just stuck here as a breathing vessel conciously aware of this torment.

    Its hopeless at this point. I look in the forums and no one is dealing with this. Im practically the only one. I feel like such an incredible failure.

    I wish my problem was just PMO like everyone else. Just PMO is so miniscule compared to this trust me ive experienced both. It feels like childs play reading through the forums

    Theres seems to be no real healing from this. People advise counselling but i know thats all subjective and they can basically have no understanding of what im feeling. Most of it is based on societal opinions. They probably wont understand it. Most of them dont believe PMO is an addiction.

    There is no help for this problem it seems. Everything i used to love i hate. I hate being young because i know i have to live with this for the rest of my days.

    Its like everything in my life has been inverted and corrupted

    What the actual hell... im stranded

    No offence intended here but what on earth are you talking about? There are a lot of people on here who have acted out in similar ways to you. You've been in threads talking to likeminded people only recently haven't you?

    I look through them and nothing in the past week is regarding this. Just basic stuff like how to quit watching porn. Thats why i say im practically the only one. Its an isolating feeling and lets me know what im dealing with is serious

    Theres 2 other people ive seen my whole time being here

    Yup just went throigh more threads and found nothing. Im probably one of the most extreme cases here. This is so lonely and isolating. I know i messed up big time. Im worth nothing at this point. Dont know how im supposed to handle all this.

    Im just supposed to be like
    Oh yeah i just did the most embarassing, heart wrenching, bizarre, shameful, uncomfortable thing in my entire life cool nothing to see here?

    No amount of time detachs the fact that this happened. Just simply having this on my record and in my memory makes my life seem worthless.

    Im not downplaying other brothers struggles on here but all i see is worries about fantasies. Knowing what i know now, if i was in that situation all id do is go back to my normal life and leave all that worrying behind and enjoy whats ahead.

    Thoughts like that are so easy to control since theres nothing tangible invested in them.

    I wish i was still in that stage. Youre still in the fight and theres drive to overcome at that point

    What about the thread "Long term consequences for acting out"? You were talking with likeminded people on that. Once again, sounds like you are just having an off day.

    This isnt true. There are pedophiles and necrophiles on here, as well as people who have done what you did many times over. Please go back and look at all the advice given to you. Take heart in knowing you can get past this. As always, it takes time.

    Yes and i believe there was one other person in there who was talking about it. So thats 2 people


    Yeah but im starting to think that just because others have done it and worse does that mean it will be okay? Maybe were all screwed. Once we do something that violates our identity so hard i think it can kill the essence of a man.

    Im not sure if this is true or not but it feels like it.

    Also id be more proud to overcome drug addiction than this. Id feel more personal sympathy towards myself.

    This makes me so uncomfortable and has added loads of stress to my brain. Making life a very unpleasent experience. Im scared its gonna wipe out my old personality thats how bad it is.
     
  13. I’m equally if not more disgusted by my situation and mine was four years ago. Nothing will change how you feel about the action its gross regrettable and shameful. What you need to change is how you feel about yourself. If you associate who you are as a person with that incident you’ll always feel this way. What did you enjoy before this happened? What kind of person were you? What were your goals? Was porn your entire life and now you feel empty without it?

    Its like i entered into a dark world and experienced something i wasnt supposed to. I should have been more cautious and preserved my psyche. Its like ive damaged my entire mental willingly. Its so utterly stupid. I dont know what compelled me to willingly do this.

    If it was just even a tad less extreme in my eyes id be over it by now. This gives me the jitters though

    Yeah its so depressing though. Its kills an essence or innocence inside. Like i couldve gone my whole life journey without being exposed to this. I just have an overwhelming feeling of this was never supposed to happen. I dont know where im headed, im just observing my feelings and this is what they are

    It also corrupts my perspective in such a negative and poisonous way, like anything potentially good or enjoyable gets corrupted by this inner darkness. Cant really explain it but it feels like a sick joke.

    I looked at the thread myself just now and within the first page there was more than that. What it seems like you are doing is allowing your negative thinking patterns to overwrite objective reality. LOADS of people do what you did, and way worse, literally all the time. You are not alone.

    You are experiencing trauma, but you can overcome it. Go back and look for the advice given, and research specifically how to overcome traumatic events.

    The problem is im deeply introspective, always have been. Im sure others could do something like this and just throw ir away the next week.

    I think more deeply and it causes an existential sort of crisis. Also i was comfortable with my identity before.

    This feels like a violate, creating a mental claustrophobia for any space this takes up in my mind.

    I wanna indulge in other interests but this just blocks me from even continuing on. Its a road block.

    I have that feeling you had as a kid when jason or freddy kreuger popped up on your screen, except with realism attached to it.

    This is equivilent to a real life nightmare to me. I know from an outside perspective its not that great a deal, if i was dealing with someone else under the same guise i wouldnt even treat it this way.

    This is just more than i can handle. I thought id be good cause usually i can handle a lot. This right here though shattered my will in ways i didnt know were possible.

    I totally get what you mean. In a lot of ways I am similar. But you have to understand you wont always feel like this, and even on days when you do, you need to keep pushing on otherwise you will end up creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where your actions or lack thereof make the problem worse.
     
  19. I was in basically same situation. I know what you’re saying but also know that you’ll be stuck in that thought pattern forever if you let yourself. I guarantee this way of thinking got you in the situation in the first place. You made decisions with no regard to your mental health or future and your paying now I did too. It was a careless impulsive decision. You let your perverted emotions get the best of you then and you’re letting your self hate emotions get the best of you now. Look I feel the same way I’m not telling you what you did okay or something that you shouldn’t feel bad about because I know I’ll always feel bad about what I did but if you can’t regain your self worth I garuntee you’ll have way more regrets in store for you in the future it’s basically a law of nature your mind creates your reality. You can put off trying to better yourself and move past this as long as you want but until you take action you are going to waste more time and build more regret.

    What makes me not even want to reach for anything is that i know in my best state i ever reach possible it would be like half of what i couldve felt if this never happened.

    Life is truly a gift. I remember how i felt before my conscience was torment. Literal bliss.

    I cant forge an ideal life for myself under these circumstances which makes living a depressing chore more than anything now. Thats what ive been reduced down to
