Why do I feel worthless?

It sounds like you are on an emotional roller coaster of sorts. I think everyone experiences this to some degree or another.

What helps me is trying to shut off my emotional mind as much as possible. I work on using my logical mind as much as I can. Emotions are unpredictable and hard to control. What we call feeling good or bad is really just chemicals being dumped into your brain to feel good, and when those chemicals dissipate, naturally you will swing back the other way.

So the trick is to not go one way or the other on the see-saw- stay as balanced and in the middle as possible, and you do this by using logical thinking most of the time. Use logical thinking to set goals and plans for yourself, and let those plans govern your day to day actions. Figure out what is important to you and organize your daily actions around a plan to make your vision a reality. In this way you will not be so caught up in the up and down cycle of emotions.

Think of it like flying an airplane, you want to stay steady and on course, not flying haphazardly in every direction just for thrills.

Does that help you out at all?

 

I feel the same way. I don't even do an porn substitutes any more. but I FEEL LIKE doing things that will re trigger my old patterns. but I don't do them. I just rest and relax. I can not go back to those ways. I feel like crap so I think those things will give me worth, but that would just make me feel worse.

 

You need a purpose. You need something that will give you focus and be passionate about. Then pretty much whatever you are feeling right now will go away. You just need to be fired up about something.
