I can’t blame pmo totally. Recently after I relapsed, day 0 was really tough. I was totally being nervous all the day. Even i can’t hold a paper properly like i lost my hand’s grip. I think i was being more nervous.The nxt day I was totally fine.

One thing I faced with it is neglecting appreciating anything I achieved. Not being able to tell myself how proud I am for working hard, it all felt like whatever I have achieved is nothing because in the end guilt of PMO was way more than anything in life.

When I was studying B.tech , It was one of my aspirations to pass with an honours degree. It requires you to maintain a CGPA of 8.5 till the end of the course. In one of the semester , I lost it since I had a CGPA of 8.47 that time. I lost my honors degree by 0.03 percent.

The main reason was I was not able to study one of the subjects well because I spent 3-4 hours on P on the day before the exam for that subject. This is a personal stuff I never forget.

I would say a common thing. Depression.
Everybody feels bad after a relapse and it can cause anxiety
PMO can ruin our body and our mind too and we can feel both thing

One of the worst effects is not feeling calm and natural around some people and being brave in front of danger. Basically loss of confidence.

The ability to think rationally. For example, as others have mentioned, a lack of (healthy) self-esteem. Instead of judging myself as a normal human being with faults, I judge myself to be irredeemable, and unlovable many times. Masturbation has caused me to catastrophize so many scenarios in my life, and always assume the worst. Even up to this point, I still struggle with this one :disappointed: .

Stuttering… really, after I relapsed from my last previous longest steak, I stuttered a lot when I was try to talking in front of customers in my shop. Even though I don’t watch P anymore, I keep relapsing over and over again without P, just with imagination, it still gives me that bad effect :sob: I’m currently on day 1 right now, on the way to day 2… I will conquer this this time :fire:

The rest is general :

  1. Low energy
  2. Low mood
  3. Unstable emotion
  4. Low self-esteem because feeling guilty
  5. Objectifying women a lot, this is really bad :sob:

What I have experienced from PMO abuse so far:

  • Almost constantly tired
  • Lack of motivagtion to do anything
  • Depressing thoughts bombard me all the time
  • Lack of the ability to dream during sleep
  • Complete failure of the sex drive
  • Low self-esteem
  • Sometimes thoughts about â– â– â– â–  overwhelm me and I can’t focus on other tasks

PMO makes me stutter alots, always ashamed, bad thoughts (Thinking nonsense), makes me feel life is useless etc. And I always regret. Praying never to go back to that hell. God help us🙏
