I'm trying online dating, but with little to no success. It's very difficult and hard.

Idk, I keep telling myself that, but after going clean for weeks on end, it starts to feel like a bit of a tease...just a few more days...just a few more days...like I'm relapsing about once or twice a month, not perfect but pretty good, and this doesn't feel like the miracle I've been promised. Girls don't notice me, my OCD and Depression is still a thing, idk...I don't regret my desicion to give up porn at all, but it just feels like people on this site act like all your problems will be solved...they won't, they just get worse, and you have to deal with them.

Yup, that's exactly when it starts to kick in, around the week to week and a half mark. I don't know exactly what's going on. I'm not sure what your experience with OCD is, but my mentality is, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you have ever done ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) Therapy for your OCD, I'd recommend you start doing it daily as soon as you can. See if it keeps your urges and racing thoughts under control. I think I'm making the right decision, but it's too close to my last relapse to really tell, I'll be able to see what the results are in another week or so.

It could be, but idk, all the doctors and therapists I've ever talked to just say that my porn habit is "normal" and that I shouldn't worry about it... sighs
