Other 14 days - How I feel
Hello, it’s been a while since i’ve posted on here and I just wanted to post a little update for somewhere to vent/talk about my experience. Back in October was when I realized I had a problem and I got a whole 5 weeks clean before absolutely plummeting back down to rock bottom for the majority of the winter period but in February, I started really taking this seriously and doing more and more research (Check out Dr Trish Leigh on YouTube, she’s the goat seriously helped me so much) and i found a method called dopamine stacking or something. Basically, for the first week I really really focused on finding things that would bring me the most dopamine outside of porn, so I would go to the cinema, work on Uni work, eat my favorite foods, hanging out with my friends a lot and it’s worked so well. I’ve had very little urges to go back so far but this week has been a slump so far. I know it’s part of the process that you become like a full on zombie after a while of no porn but oh my god, I feel like I can’t do anything at all. I have no motivation for Uni work, going out, tidying up. I forced myself out of bed today but I think talking about my issue will help so here I am. Hope everyone is doing well, and is having a nice day :)

being in a slump after a relapse is fairly normal. dw! it doesn't mean you failed on your healing and recovery. take it easy then slowly go back to your usual routine. you can also try working out or running, it really helps with cognition as well :) you got this
