I am 25 year old guy, began PMO when I was 10 until 24. Hints of PIED started when I was 23 but it wasnt until a year ago I realized porn was the cause of all of my problems. PIED was severe, and was getting rocked with depression and anxiety. Over time this addiction completely altered my perception towards sex, love, and women. Without even really wanting to I would habitually seek for validations and short term dopamine boosts such as masturbation, sex, porn, dating apps, social media, gambling, and more. It got so bad to a point my girlfriend of 4 years leaving me, and that was my motivation to really change. And for a year now its been a constant battle with many relapses.
I should have started this when I started my streak, Now i am at day 85 of hardmode. I was in a severe flatline for the first 80 days, truly the darkest time of my life. No motivation or libido with nothing happening under the belt. But i can say now that my anxiety and depression is 95% gone. I get hints of libido returning some days, but still got ways to go to be healed in that department. I think 90 days is just a beginning of my journey. Confidence is rising by the day as well as my energy. The journey is a roller coaster of highs and lows but I am very excited for what lies ahead of me. I feel like a butterfly in a cocoon. This isn't just a journey to beat my porn addiction, but it is to become the best me, and ultimately to find true love and purpose in life.
