I’m wondering if other men relate to this.

I’ve never had a girlfriend or really received much attention from women, mostly because

I’ve struggled a lot with confidence and self respect.

Because of that, the only intimacy I’ve experienced has been with prostitutes.

Sometimes it makes me feel isolated because relationships seem to come naturally for other people while I feel completely behind socially and emotionally.

I’m trying to improve myself and become more confident, but I wanted to know if other people have gone through something similar.

Any kind souls tryna help a man out ?

My psn:Rhg_big33k

I’m 3 days into quitting porn, masturbation, and visiting prostitutes. I started because I felt like it was negatively affecting my life and I wanted to take control back.

Right now I’m experiencing pretty strong anxiety, my appetite is low, and I feel emotionally unstable. I also feel scared of relapsing, like the urges could hit me at any moment. At times it feels overwhelming and I almost want to cry.

I didn’t expect the early days to feel this intense, so I wanted to ask:

Is this a normal part of withdrawal or early recovery? If you’ve been through this, how did you get past the first week or so?

Any advice or experiences would really help right now.

Hey everyone,

I’m 3 days off masturbation, porn, and visiting prostitutes. I decided to stop because I felt like it was becoming unhealthy and I wanted to regain control.

Right now I’m feeling really anxious, my appetite is low, and I feel emotionally unstable. I keep getting scared that I might relapse, and honestly I feel kind of overwhelmed and like I could cry at times.

Is this normal in the early days? Has anyone else gone through this kind of withdrawal or emotional crash in the beginning?

I’m trying to stick with it but I didn’t expect it to feel this intense.

Any advice or experiences would really help.
