    Hey Guys, Its Day 2 for me still trying to reach my first goal in passing 21 days which was my last long stretch. I want to talk alittle bit about Intrusive Thoughts and see if there's anyone out there who deals with the same thing. As i've said before i've dealt with Anxiety and Paranoia for sometime now and just over the years it gotten worst. Im a obsessive Thinker, Yes! But trying to find some way to manage it. I feel as if my problem, which i refer to as "iT" plays a part in that, i dont mean to sound crazy or anything but it is true. I tend to constantly think about the scenes with my favorite stars which would sometime result in a relapse. Here's an example, I feel like when thinking about sex with my girl or any women for that matter i always view it from a pornography scene perspective. You know the foreplay, the beginning where they walk around in lingerie and high heels. yeah I love that. I imagine it more from the video screen rather than me imaging it in person with a female. That sucks! Now for those who know about intrusive thoughts you know you'll think obsessively, Yes. If not i advise you guys to read up on that. I also tend to think of things i never want to think about, gruesome things, very usual things if those who know what i'm talking about. This also sucks cause i would constantly also question myself and the people around me. Its tiring to the mind and soul and im just ready to live life again and ready to admire the beauty of women from my own eyes in person rather than a computer screen. I love all types of women, Especially my black women, But more importantly my girlfriend. and dont want to think any other way, so I dont know if anyone has gone through this or know what it is that im taking about. But if you do help me out, How did you ignore the thoughts? Did you get over them? and How do you feel now? Words of motivation, Criticism, suggestions, etc are all allowed. Thanks :)
     
  2. Wow, that sounds rough. To have thoughts and paranoia that you can't shake.
    I would think professional help would be needed to deal with that. It sounds horrible.
    Hopefully someone here has had the same experience so they can offer some better help.

    To answer your question fully, it is definitely possible to stop feeling like you have - there were many years before you would do this, that means you can behave that way AFTER looking at porn.

    The more days you go no PMO, will definitely help your feelings of anxiety and paranoia. It will also reduce how much you think of the gruesome things. Eventually you will reach a point where you start thinking ‘it’s irrelevant now, it was ages ago’. That will ease your mind and your conscience of it all.

    In those no days of PMO, however, the negative thoughts will subside faster if you are doing more things. Especially new things... being outside more, trying to learn something new.

    Porn affects us in many ways but the effects of it begin to wear off over time. I have just reached Day 30 myself, it’s not as high as other people on here but like you, I was in a desperate situation to stop. I already feel much better, even though I still have a bit more work to do.

    I wish you luck, and hope you find the strength to quit forever. Porn can land you in difficulties in nearly every area of your life - even physical long term changes to your body!
