Feeling empty inside

[gtl923]

Today marks the end of my 6th week no PMO. It has been quite the roller coaster ride. Today is a bit different though, as I have this strange feeling of emptiness inside. But it's not completely empty because I am still having cravings and such. I wish I knew how to describe the feeling but I've never experienced it before. I'm also exhausted from a very long day so that probably has something to do with it. Hope this goes away soon. Maybe a flatline is on the way. Kinda looking forward to that honestly...

Porn is often used to get away or numb feelings or repressed feelings. So it is natural to feel empty and a little off, especially if you have been not dealing with a lot of issues.

One thing you might want to consider is develop three circles. Fill the dopamine void with outer circle activities. Learn an instrument, write, go for runs or walks, explore, teach yourself a language (be it human, or computer code). You will start to replace pornography with other - not destructive things.

I've done this before. Fear not it passes on its own and is harmless. Basically it happens when your subconsious says I can't take these feelings anymore and stuffs them away. Once you feel you can handle it they come out on there own.
