Porn was my way of managing my rage and stress under tense situations. I have just experienced a very stressful moment in which I could not control my stress. It overwhelmed me and I couldn’t help but want to feel better instantly. My girlfriend was able to calm me down before I could act out but I don’t know how i could deal with this in the future
There's plenty of ways to deal with anger and stress, u can search on YT or reddit or idk, people are very creative with their suggestions. I too use porn to cope with them but I've learned that it actually only increases the anger and stress. Something I find most helpful for me is journaling. As someone with ADHD, it can take awhile to journal because I have so much thoughts so I came up with this idea to just summarize each incident of the day in 1 sentence or a few, then putting them in bullet points during busy days. You can finish it 10 mins. I also usually do it every night before going to bed. It'll help you process your thoughts and feelings, even if it's just a little. But if u keep this up consistently, u'll be able to take control of your feelings a lot better. Plus its totally fine if u miss a few days, u can always go back to it and fill it up when ure free. If I can do it, I believe you can do it too. We're all still just learning how to survive in life. You got this! Let's overcome this together 💪
