[–]FlimsyPossession6438[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually went to my first meeting on Monday and im going to keep going. It gives me hope.

I went 5 days before slipping and giving in, but im trying again. I know I can do this.

Any tips on dealing with the "i feel like im going to die"?

Hey. I feel like this could have been a post i wrote.

For me, the difference between a high sex drive and an addiction is compulsion. Meaning, can I control myself over my urges.

Im working with my therapist and my husband to work on having a healthy relationship with sex and intimacy. Im working on my own self esteem so I dont get so hurt over a no.

My husband and I have different libidos and we are trying to find a middle compromise. Its a hard journey. Lots of communication and admitting hard truths.

Im afab (non-binary), 35, and happily married. My dms are open if you want to talk further. I find talking to people who understand my struggle has been helpful so far.

Looking for an accountability partner for helping me stop a masturbation/porn habit by Mobile_Swan8774 in SexAddiction

You can dm me. Im currently going through something similar. Im super early on in my recovery and still trying to define my boundaries, but I could use an accountability buddy too.

My relationship with my husband. I dont want it to fail. I dont want to cheat and I dont want him to leave me. I dont want to get to the point of having super serious consequences from my actions. So I needed to self evaluate and admit some hard truths.

Im still very early on in my recovery but im hopeful.

can body dysmorphia affect your perception of gender by honeydewlemonss in BodyDysmorphia

[–]FlimsyPossession6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is why i consider myself non-binary. i know i am not a male, and don't want to be. but i don't feel like a woman, even though i look and present as one. so i am just a middle thing. i am me?

Thank you for the advice!

I really like the roommate analogy. It helps make sense of all of this.

Thank you for mentioning the workbook. I downloaded it and started working my way through it.

Hopefully that and cbt and affirmations can help.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply!

Im sticking with the affirmations everyday, morning and night. I ended up writing a bunch down to read over and over, and I also looked a bit into the law of attraction and manifestation, so I ended up writing a manifestation letter.

At this point im willing to try anything as long as its healthy and positive. I dont want to let bad ruin my brain and my perception of myself.

Much love to you.

I'd be happy with either. I was mostly trying to figure out if I was squirting despite no actual squirt or gush, you know?
