New Here

I sleep everytime I can.

 

Welcome to nofap Heidelberg. I felt alone too, it is a human universal. And I tried to numb with PM+ too, it works for a few seconds at a time. Since my body cannot handle masturbating every few seconds nor was I independently wealthy to where I could watch porn until I passed out every day I couldn't get away from the loneliness using PM. Basically I think it's true that we "are going to have to really feel what it means to be alone." With or without PM+ we have experiences like loneliness, frustration, anxiety, sadness etc. That acceptance is part of how I have and am dealing with it, I really believe that acceptance is the answer to my problems, not the entirety of the answer but a darn good start. The great thing about acceptance is that I wasn't asked if I wanted things to be this way in the first place so I just get to decide whether to accept them (not the same as liking them or approving of them) or not. Then after acceptance I take action, helps me to also give up expecatations of certain results or I'll have to start at square one again.

 

That's wisdom right here..best advice one could give
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it reminded me of some things I almost forgot

 

Like Randy said, you can do nothing right now but accept where you are and then taking the responsibility to go where you want to be
Everything is hard at first, but soon enough your mood and feelings will stabilize and you will feel grounded and strong
Stay strong and hold on..patience is the key right now
Resistance is your enemy..don't resist the feeling of lonilness and misery..just let it be..feel the pain rather than running from it like you always did
You may feel empty at times..and it's hard
But always remember that a good life are waiting for you if you stayed on the recovery track
Good luck for you , and always remeber that we're in this together..you're not the only one with same feelings and things in mind

 

I suppose you could say that.

 

Well, porn was something I did use to combat loneliness. Later it was mostly video games, but then even both. At any rate, I am still quite lonely and I am no longer addicted to video games and I am still battling with porn.

The thing you gotta do is see why you are lonely, and what healthy things you can do to combat that. For example, I am into D&D and sword sparring, so I soon plan to go to a local shop to try D&D Adventurer's League, and join a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) Club. That way I can do what I like with other like minded people. You could try similar things. It depends on what youre into though, I suppose.
