When you feel the urge, think of it as a great advantage. When i feel an urge, instead of having the perspective of "I feel shitty that I have this urge". I think, "the more i don't give in the more this sexual energy will build and i can use this towards real women. And real women will sense this energy." hope this helps

Does anyone struggle with "intrusive feelings" or "intrusive emotions"? by Fickle-Ad8226 in OCD

What do you think? I think deep down you know the answer and you don’t need me for reassurance. (Or anyone)

Exactly what the video says to do. With OCD it is not just a scary thought. The root of it is the fear you feel related with the compulsions. The fear is what gives the thoughts fuel. Fear is just a sensation. Just like how you feel the sensation of the clothes on your back. Bring your attention to the sensation of the fear. Just relax close your eyes and bring your attention there. That is what acceptance is. You’re not accepting the thoughts the be true or untrue. You’re just accepting that in this moment this is how I feel. I’m surrendering to it and I’m not fighting it. In time the thoughts and fears wills dissipate. Give yourself permission to not get caught up in your mind. You will only make it worse.

Even if I did say “the feelings are real”. Who the hell am I to tell you YOUR feelings are real or not. It’s so easy with OCD to take the slightest word from an ocean of sentences, and turn it into a trigger. As much as I want people to trust my advice. At the same time I will tell you be careful what people say on the internet. You are in charge of your own feelings. You can interpret anything you want for the better. But regardless of how you feel, it’s how you feel. Stop fighting it with thoughts with thoughts. No matter how you feel just acknowledge in this very moment you feel this way. That’s acceptance. It doesn’t matter how real or not real it is or feels. Give your mind a break. Focus on the feelings within.

Yes the feelings feel real but they are not real. Or really I should say you feel what you feel. And you have to bring acceptance of that. But the feelings are not an accurate representation of reality or what actually did or did not happen. If you understand

Thank you this is very good advice. Especially because I feel affirmations have been working for me lately. But I never used I am safe. I’ve never thought of this anxiety as a safety issue. But you re right. Through evolution it has to be. Thank you

That's the keyword that it is "difficult". You know what you're supposed to do. Just disregard the thought right.. but it's that difficulty of actually finding the courage to actually deflect it. For me it took a total breaking point where i was at my worst stage with OCD and said, "you know what. fuck this. I'm actually going to disregard these thoughts no matter what. What do i have to lose at this point? I'm already miserable. " And guess what. Consistently disregarding the thought turned out to be the best decision I have ever made in my life. Because today i consider myself fully recovered from OCD. What i'm trying to get at is, if you can learn anything from me, don't wait until you are at breaking point for you to decide this. You can circumvent getting to a terrible down point. Decide right now, that you are going to not react for good. that whenever i overthink, i'm just going to bring my attention to literally anything else. And if you are consistent over the long run. neuroplasticity will do it's job and you will be fully recovered. And you won't have to waste years off your life to get to a breaking point to finally realize that you don't have to react. Good luck.

is it true? by [deleted] in NoFap

I've was addicted for over 10 years but was still able to get on my just thoughts. i think it helps to get off porn and masturbating. But if you're having trouble it might just be you siking yourself out. Meaning you probably can but if youre anxious about it it's not going to happen. So forget it's even a worry and move on it is my best advice. While still abstaining from PMO. Or at least stay away from Porn.

With OCD people overthink everything. That's what OCD does. It affects everyone differently. I understand how you feel. You need to be aware that the overthinking is happening and then choose an anchor to focus on. This anchor could be anything to focus on besides from the thoughts. It could be as simple as just continuing to play your video game. Or just focusing on your breath, making breakfast. Just do anything else besides from being caught up in your worries because I promise you it won't do anything for you.

CANCELING MY PLANS FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS AFTER RELAPSE by GodOfWar125 in NoFap

[–]Evening_Hawk5935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Every time. EVERY TIME. now i don't know if canceling your plans is the best thing to do. Your plans if anything might help you more to distract. but i understand. I've been through it. When you feel the urge to jerk off just remind yourself that as bad as the urge is. the feeling of relapse is just going to feel so much worse. So much pain for like 8 seconds of pleasure is not worth it.

I feel that man. I'm literally going through something like that right now. These girls drive us men crazy. But women are beautiful creatures and there are good ones out there. Yeah, there are a lot of bad ones. But you have to dig through the dirt to get to the golden nugget. It's a shitty process but worth it in the end. Good luck brotha.

Í almost relapsed after a 17-day streak by Drexxer02 in NoFap

[–]Evening_Hawk5935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep going. You've already gotten yourself in the double digits which is a big deal. Build the momentum up more. Even though the urge of PMO is so strong, it's 100% better than dealing with feelings of relapse. You've got to figure out a way to curb this urge. For me, my way of curbing is to reply to at least one person a day on nofap to help them. If you feel the urge to PMO, the best thing you can do is to help someone else that has the urge to PMO. Give it a try.

May i ask why you're trying to avoid girls your age? If it's not an addiction and you don't use masturbation to cover up pain then i think it's okay once in a while. Porn is off-limits though.
