19 Year Old Guy Trying To Recover From PIED

[GreenSwampMan]

Well, I?m back here again. Unfortunately, my condition did not really improve as I relapsed on the 4th of April. For the following month and a half, I have been continuously relapsing. My relapses got progressively worse from once a week to every other day. However, I?m ready to start over again because I felt a noticeable improvement after 18 days and now know that abstaining from porn and masturbation works. I also believe that if I did not stop posting here I would have more motivation not to relapse.
In other news, I have decided to pay a visit to a urologist to rule out the possibility of my erectile issues having a physical cause. He told me to get a medical analysis (e.g. blood, testosterone, etc.) and then come back later. So I did that. When I returned with the results I was told that my testosterone was not lower than normal but that I actually had excessive amounts of it. Other than that, everything else was pretty much perfect (which is ironic because I am not physically fit at all and an irredeemable couch potato). I also told him everything about my addiction to porn and masturbation and how I suspect that might have affected me. The urologist rejected the idea of PIED almost immediately and told me that he is ?100 % sure? that it is all in my head and that I won?t get better if I?ll keep thinking about my erection all the time. So, there?s that.

Don't let the "experts" fool you. My actual urologist and the urologist before that both know about PIED and told me to continue rebooting. They also assured me that there is absolutely no risk in abstainin from masturbation. I'm a bit irritated that your urologist didn't apply an ultra sonic on your cavernous body... If you plan on going back to an urologist, go to another one. Yours won't help your cause... It's crazy that some urologists still don't know about the dangers of porn and even claim unduly that he is a 100% sure about it even though he has never even read a line about the topic. Unbelievable, this makes me angry... He might as well recommend you to start smoking in order to improve your stamina :

I?m back here again and now I?m on the fifth day of my current streak.

Day 5

Good day everyone!

I have been continuing my attempts to abstain from PMO but I'm sorry to say that I did not have much success with it in June. However, I started another streak on July 6th and I'm on day 5 of this streak. However, it is not easy. At all. Right now I'm feeling very strong urges but I hope that they will pass soon.
Hopefully, I'll manage to achieve a 30 days streak before my birthday in August!

Day 3

Relapsed on July 13th. Had dreams about porn on Day 2.

 

[GreenSwampMan]

Feeling very anxious right now. I can go from feeling alright to feeling extremely depressed in a span of a couple of hours. I remember some people saying that mood swings are a part of a reboot. Well, they weren't kidding.

Day 4

Felt very anxious yesterday. But I?m feeling better now.

Day 5

Nothing new to report.

Day 6

Dreamt about relapsing last night. I have noticed that it is happening rather often now. I guess that?s a sign that my addicted brain desperately wants me to relapse for real. Other than that everything seems fine.

I also had such dreams. But its normal in rebooting

May I ask if you do any further things than 'just' abstaining from PMO in order to recover? Are you trying to implement any healthy habits? Are you pursuing other goals? Are you doing activities you are enthusiastic about? I encourage you to reflect a little more in your journal. Of course, it's your journal and you decide what to do.

Take care!

Well, if by "doing further things than just abstaining" you mean rewiring with a girl then no because I do not have a girlfriend. As for healthy habits I'm planning on starting going to the gym sometime soon. And as regards other goals I am currently taking foreign language classes and I am doing alright so far. I am actually in the process of doing homework for it right now (;D). Unfortunately most of my pals are either from the countryside or from abroad so they have left my hometown for summer break so I'm feeling kind of lonely at the moment. Other than that my life is not very interesting which is why my posts here are a little bit barebones.

Congratulations with your reboot by the way! Seeing you succeed after just 6 months is one of the things that motivates me to keep pushing forward.

Day 7 - First week complete!

Finally, after almost 4 months of relapses I have managed to achieve a week long streak. Now the next goal for me is to beat my longest streak which was 18 days.

Day 8

Everything seems to be OK and I?m no longer feeling anxious and depressed. However, thoughts and memories about porn get in my head but I?m trying to ignore them and not dwell on them.

 

[GreenSwampMan]

Day 9

I am feeling much better than I was just a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, I occasionally experience porn flashbacks but other than that it?s getting easier to control myself. I believe that I?m currently experiencing a flatline as I am no longer getting the same intense urges to watch porn and masturbate.

 

[GreenSwampMan]

Day 10

Still going strong but now I?m having problems with porn flashbacks and sexual fantasies. I try not to not dwell on them but I?m wondering if they are negatively impacting my reboot. Everything else seems to be fine.

 

[penguin_36]

These flashbacks are quiet normal in the early days of reboot. I also used to have a lot of them but as days will pass, it will slowly decrease and go away. That is what rewiring your brain means. It does take time. Be patient, be strong!
