Stress related Hor*iness
Idk what to call this, I’d say it’s somewhat of an addiction. Ever since college and how much stress I was under, I can’t write papers or do much of anything requiring focus without having intense urges. I don’t know what to do because if I give in they just keep happening and it’s exhausting. It’s like my brain is trying to feel good while stressed. But I already take anxiety meds. It’s prohibiting me from being successful.
I am the same way too! I go to porn and masturbation to help me when I'm stressed. Sometimes when it's really bad I might do it multiple times a day or just one really long session. It helps in the short term to ease the pain but always leaves you wanting more. Ive been sober for almost a week now. Every day is a struggle but the hope of breaking this and coming out as a better and healthier person motivates me to keep going. Long term gain while sacrificing immediate reward.
Same here I remember last semester I masterbated 5 times a day for 3 days straight because I was stressed from my exams and assignments, it is hard to manage that but I found out if I spend most of time in the library I can reduce that to like 2 times that is when I go back home...so being in public does help me cope a little
I have similar issues
@TheJenInBlack
also dealing with the same issue...
Thanks for all the responses. It’s strangely comforting to know others go through similar things. I’ve been “sober” for a long time (I’m talking months, minus one random occasion), and it’s only because I’ve been lazy. I haven’t been productive. Every time I’m about to write a paper for college admittance or fill out a new job app, yep, the urge is still there. It’s not as strong, but I just question...is there hope? Or have I forever associated these things together? It is truly awful.
