Hi guys.
Day 2 today. I relapsed on Tuesday out of stress - I had slept very little, traveled a lot and was overworked. Suddenly PMO was an idea
Good things about this time:
-I didn't relapse twice, as it usually happens in such a day.
-I'm becoming super aware of how I cannot deal with these uncomfortable feelings. Not just PMO but also in daily life it's like I cannot handle the minimum stress/discomfort. Unfortunately as much as I think it's not an option, the urges come strong. Next time I PROMISE myself I'll just stare at the feeling a bit more. I might fall, who knows, but I'll stare in its face and hold the unpleasant feeling. As the buddhists say, no judgement, and then hopefully it'll pass away. If I happen to fall, I'll keep stretching that stare so that in the end I can come through the urge.
I know if I solve this, I have it!
On the other side, I saw a video of an urologist the other day. She proposed putting a colour and an animal to the urge feeling, kind of "minimizing" it. Then you can say "oh yeah, that's the yellow rhinoceros again". Sounds like worth a shot.
Cheers,
