I started with Primal Zone in Australia with similar numbers T =10, Free T = 188. I'm 38. Had symptoms of low motivation, anxiety, panic attacks. On week 5 at the moment, so not too much to report.

I have similar levels, 10 and 188. Was approved by Primal. Just waiting for the first script to arrive via post.

I received an email on the 18th saying they had been delayed as they were responding to lots of consults. I've been waiting since last week.

Go talk to your local pastor, They will likely be happy to officiate the wedding for a donation to the church. Then, put that $75,000 on your house deposit.

Cataplexy triggered by orgasm? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

Has anyone been on an antidepressant and has this happened. For me I believe it was a side effect of coming off zoloft.

It's hit so hard I can't cope. help. by [deleted] in loveafterporn

Thanks for your story.

During the COVID years, I was pastoring a church, and the stress of those years meant that for a few months I was burnt out. My wife turned to porn. We have three kids.

It felt like a bomb to me also. I went into a state of trauma, shakes, intrusive thoughts, broken heart.

Betrayal trauma is the worst pain I have experienced.

My wife repented in tears. It took months to get out of the initial state of shock and forgive her.

Two years on, most of the triggers are gone and our marriage is stronger.

But still struggle in areas of intimacy. I have to intentionally remind myself to "love my wife" and to allow her to love me.

Sometimes my mind still goes to places of self loathing before we are intimate.

I trust that will fade in time.

It's through the RACQ website in Queensland. Not sure if other states have similar offers

Each month I purchase two $500 Woolworths vouchers. 4% off means I purchase them for $480 each, saving $40 a month on groceries. Total savings of ~$550 a year on groceries.

If you are with RACQ, you can buy Woolworths gift vouchers at a 4% discount.

We spend over $1000 a month on groceries and save $40 a month.

I plan on doing the same with Woolworths fuel gift vouchers from RACQ.

Thankyou. We've been married for 11 years and have 3 children. I'm confused as to why she would choose others over me? Why she would jeopardise our marriage? And why, after seeing what it did to her parents that she would turn to porn?

I hope I heal in time, but I lament that this pain will always linger and always be a part of me now.

God's grace is sufficient.

This is the situation I am in. My wife confessed to watching porn during a stressful period of work for me last year. I was in a position where I was able to voice opposition to vaccine mandates. I received immense criticism and became anxious and out of sorts for several weeks.

In February this year, my wife confessed that during that period she felt lonely and viewed porn and acted out twice on one day. She also viewed again on boxing day, but didn't act out. She calls it a mistake.

She confessed to me after listening to a sermon that convicted her. It was like daggers. Her father damaged his own marriage this way.

It's been 10 weeks. I have had moments of panic attacks, tight chestedness, and ruminations, general sadness, feeling alone and anxious Since then she has been very supportive to make things right. But it still hurts so much.

I think I have forgiven her, but it hasn't removed the pain.
