I’m in my mid-20s and lately I’ve been feeling stuck in this weird loop.

I go to work, come back home, scroll on my phone, maybe watch something, sleep… and repeat. Days are passing so fast but at the same time it feels like I’m not moving forward at all.

I have goals in my mind — getting better physically, learning new skills, improving my deen, building a better future — but when it comes to actually doing things, I either procrastinate or just feel mentally drained.

It’s not like I’m completely lazy. Some days I try. But I can’t stay consistent. And that makes me feel worse, like I’m failing myself.

The scary part is seeing time pass. Like years are going by and I’m still the same person with the same habits.

Does anyone else feel like this?

How do you actually break out of this cycle and become consistent?

I’m 25 and honestly feel like I’m just stuck.

I have a job, things are “okay” on paper, but inside it feels like I’m not really moving forward. Same routine every day — wake up, work, eat, sleep. Weekends don’t even feel different anymore.

I see people around me doing better — career growth, getting married, moving abroad, building something — and I start questioning myself like… what am I even doing?

It’s not like I’m completely lost, but I also don’t feel clear or excited about anything. Motivation comes for a day or two, then disappears.

Does anyone else feel like this in their mid-20s?

How did you get out of this phase?

Would really appreciate honest advice, not just “it gets better.”

Hey everyone,

I’m seriously struggling with porn addiction and I’m now considering getting professional help. I’ve tried to control it on my own many times, but I keep falling back into the same cycle.

I wanted to ask:

Should I see a psychologist for this?

Has anyone here actually gone to a therapist for porn addiction? Did it help?

What kind of therapy works best for this issue?

How do I even find the right person (especially someone who understands this without judging)?

Also, if anyone here is a psychologist or has experience in this area, I’d really appreciate your advice.

I’m at a point where I genuinely want to change but don’t know the right direction anymore.

Thanks.

Salam everyone,

I’m a 25M and I’ve been struggling with porn addiction for a long time now. It’s reached a point where it’s affecting my daily life, focus, energy, and even my mental state. I feel stuck in a cycle I can’t break.

Some details about my situation:

I spend most of my time at home

Even when I try to stop, I relapse after a few days

I feel guilt and frustration afterward, but still repeat the same pattern

I’m honestly tired of this and want to quit for good.

A few things I want advice on:

Is there any medication that can actually help reduce urges or addiction? (If anyone has real experience, please share)

How do you deal with triggers?

What are practical steps that actually worked for you (not just generic advice)?

How do you rebuild discipline and control your mind in these situations?

Any routines, habits, or mindset shifts that made a real difference?

I’d really appreciate honest, practical advice. Not looking for judgment—just real solutions from people who’ve gone through this or understand it.

Thanks in advance.
