Idk what to do

Day 63

First let me preface that I am active, I play sports, go to the gym, hang with friends, do school work. I keep busy. I’m 60+ days clean and I’m proud of that. But fuck me man I’m just sad at all times. Every girl I see I get semi attached to. Like this isn’t healthy and I can’t get myself to stop bc it all happens so fast and unconsciously. I try so hard to do things I enjoy and I do them. And yet every night it’s still the same depression and emptiness. I also want to add I am not a religious person so i respect and appreciate everyone’s views on how I should try and fix this. But I just wanted to inform everyone before anyone says anything. I appreciate you all and the journey we’re on and how this app allows for these expressions of struggle. I wish you all well on your future endeavors.

There’s no one size solution for this, especially if you’re younger. If you are experiencing severe depression and anxiety, i’d recommend speaking to a doctor honestly. People shun meds but they completely changed my life. I used to get semi-daily panic attacks and was constantly suicidal. I didnt really have a life, i was worse off than you cause i didnt have friends to hangout with or going to gym yet. I started on medication, going to the gym every single day, made friends at work. I was young so this all helped me out a ton, when i met my first gf i stopped taking them and haven’t had to since….

I feel the same way. I try to hang out with friends but I see everyone in happy relationships and I feel so alone you ain’t alone brother it’s hard.

Smoking weed once a week has helped me so far, I don’t condone it but if you’ve smoker before it could help you destress and relax, also staying off social media and scrolling seems to make it better, also hang out with friends more often could help

Was in a similar position to you with that long of a streak about a week ago now before I relapsed. I don’t know how addicted you were but it does take a long time for your brain to completely rewire to your new life and you will feel depressed because your brain can’t fall back on porn for dopamine or a coping mechanism. I suggest meditating, journaling and reading if you don’t already.
