Toll on my mental health

Day 4

Porn has been a horrible thing to my mental health, but I’m glad I’m starting my journey as well like many of you. Doesn’t help with the fact that I overthink and have OCD so i over analyze everything. It has given me too much lustful thoughts and urges that it was too much. I have a wonderful girlfriend, that even the side affects have gotten to that. I just look at too many women with lust to get that rush of adrenaline when looking at a hot girl or pretty face. It’s not right and fair to my girlfriend and my mental health. I then compare my girlfriend and it’s too much that any pretty face I see I immediately think it’s beautiful and I don’t get that rush with my girlfriend all the time and my mind is already thinking I won’t get it. However we do have a wonderful and genuine connection and bond, I love making her my girlfriend smile and taking her on romantic dates, it makes my heart fell butterfly’s and gets all warm and fuzzy. Even when we kiss I feel these things to this day. I truly believe that porn has been a huge problem to this along with my Overthinking and OCD. Going for 5 days strong and will stop just like all of us. If you guys have any insight or input I would love to hear.

Yes bro I feel that, and there are many indications where I know I love my girl so much but man porn is a destroyer of many things.

Bro you basically took the thoughts out of my head. I’m exactly the same. I look at my girlfriend and I know she’s gorgeous but porn has warped my mind and I can’t help but have a wondering eye and look at other girls and be lustful. I love my girlfriend and want her to feel like she’s as beautiful as I think she is but because of porn, we lack that level of intimacy. I’m 22 hours clean and already finding it really damn difficult - I’m really in the trenches here man. Good luck to both of us and congrats to us for wanting to be better men.
