Celibacy+Gym
33F. I’ve been consciously abstaining from sex and self love for almost 6 months now, this is the longest I’ve gone since I was first sexually active… so it’s been a huge deal for me. I’m in therapy for BPD and sex addiction, and my mental health has never been better. I’ve worked really hard to get to a point where I like me as an individual outside of my sexuality, I’ve stopped a lot of my bad habits, I enjoy my life and my hobbies, I have a job I adore that has renewed my love for what I do… annnnddddd I’ve committed to the gym at least 4-5 times a week for several months. I really enjoy it, now. But after every gym session I feel like a feral animal. I feel like I’m going to explode. I’ve tried to push myself to sheer physical exhaustion so I’m just too tired to think about it, and even that doesn’t help, so what the heck do the celibate gym goers do to chill tf out? 🫠
