Trouble with boredom?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Tryinghardtoquit, Aug 6, 2018.

  1. Do you get tired of things quickly?
    Always seeking new and more entertsining experiences and challenges?
    You are not alone..... I find in 2018 I don't get much enjoyment out of work, family life and all the other stuff I used to enjoy...

    Work and fulfillment at work is probably the biggest factor but I wonder if PMO for 20ish years has cooked my brain and it's ability to seek pleasure in simple things... I always need entertainment or new challenges to keep me occupied...

    I have had anxiety in the past which I manage and depression as well and I don't currently feel depressed...

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this feeling or has any insight into it?
     
  2. I get bored easily and quickly lose interest in things. I believe my long history of PMO has contributed to this as well since it mimics the pleasure seeking and reward nature of PMO. I seek, I find, I enjoy short lived pleasure, I repeat. If something else other than PMO doesn’t give this to me then I feel my brain quickly loses interest.

    Desensitization, your dopamine receptors have been hijacked. What you need now is serotonin to regulate it back to a healthy equilibrium, the homeostasis. Abstinence might be boring, but it will never bring you disgust and despair, it will go through it as it will make you overcome it. And finally on the other side of the overdose, you'll get to your real bright pure powerful self. Re-sensitize.

    Really like how you worded this. Makes sense that after years of porn and seeking gratification that my brain would be cooked from PMO. Thank you
