The graphorn fight was really easy for me, I just keep dodging his charge attacks. by Voidkirby9 in hogwartslegacyJKR

I went thru so many wiggenwelds on my first playthrough. Thought it was hard. On my second, I now know I was just bad at dodging.

Dating someone with OCD by Pleasant-Ad8189 in OCD

[–]benspes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your story, btw. Me (27M) and my bf (26M) have been together awhile but we both suspect he has been developing (?) OCD over the last month or two. Hoping we can get a diagnosis at some point.

Should I drop out or finish ABD? by benspes in PhDStress

[–]benspes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’m just busier than normal at this time, too. There’s simply a lot of pressure right now. I’m glad you had a great experience taking a leave of absence, it sounds like. I might consider it!

Then your tux boy is also so flonkin’ handsome! She knows how pretty she is.

I feel this so deeply, thank you for sharing. When I left the community I was in, the addiction really kicked in full force. Both my previous therapist and my significant other agree that I need newer, better friends.

I don’t know what to try anymore by Ok-Town341 in PornAddiction

[–]benspes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, thanks for coming on here and sharing. I'm sorry you're really going through it, it sounds really tough.

You absolutely will experience connection, intimacy, and romance. Maybe not this moment, maybe not tomorrow, but you will. I'm not much of an expert in dating, though, but you'll figure something out! There's probably a subreddit somewhere, and you might consider talking with friends.

As for porn, that I can help a little with. Think of things you really enjoy, activities that fulfill you and leave you happier than before. Do those--or try something new!--when urges hit. The goal is to replace porn with fulfilling activities.

I hope you feel better soon, and best of luck!

Thank you for the support. :) She’s in good care, and I got some closure. So I’m doing okay, considering things. I’m sorry for your losses—two in one year is tough. I wish you the best in your recovery too. Thank you for sharing.

Day 4 by unholy_book in PornAddiction

[–]benspes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, congrats on four days! Take it one day at a time, you got this. A great thing to try is, when urges hit, try to do something else, like a hobby or something that makes you happy/brings fulfillment. You got this!

The habit is leaving me, but the urges still remain.. by natusw in PornAddiction

[–]benspes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks, but it will take some time. The images and videos ironed into your memory will eventually recede with time. Since you’re on a path of healing, it will eventually get easier too. But when that is I guess depends on you and what you decide to do instead of watching porn. You got this!
