i managed 5 days again before i relapsed, so im starting again...
im off sick for a month, not sleeping was driving me mad and i couldn't cope with the feeling like crap all the time, the anxiety, the lack of energy, depression etc,etc.
and in this time i need to sort out many things especially to do with my mental and physical health as im not sleeping and my sleeping pattern is all messed up and one of my goals is to become a better sleeper and to be able to sleep at the right times...
iv also quit caffeine i was drinking upto 2 to 3 cups of tea a day mainly in the morning and one thing iv noticed is although its been a week the feeling of anxiety in my tongue and my throat has definitely gone down and im almost in tears to be relieved of that feeling as it was bothering me for years
iv also got through the headache stage
caffeine is no good for anyone suffering from sleep deprivation (insomnia) and anxiety and depression.
i don't take any medication or antidepressants anymore.
Areas i want to improve on in my life....
to quit porn of all kinds, photos, videos, weather on youtube, or in my imagination, im no gentleman if im using pmo as a means of escape, i want to look back and be proud of myself knowing i made the right choice feeling cleaner inside because of it
to strengthen my relationship with my 7 year old daughter who i see mainly see at weekends.. it saddened me the other day when i took her back to her mums and she just walked off up the stairs without even saying goodbye and hugging me, i had to say hey! where's my goodbye hug... (its hard for me to stay positive when i m thinking about the situation im in with my daughter as she has her mother and stepfather to look after her in the week but when she's with me she's on her own unless we are at my mum and dads on a sunday.
meditation, iv been trying this for a few months now, not every day but it definitely works if your struggling with negative thoughts that can make you anxious and frustrated and feel angry,
i also play destiny quite a bit on the playstation 4 but im not sure if computer games are gonna help me to quit porn as i read that your dopamine levels are increased while playing and iv noticed that i get triggered during or sometime after a gaming sesh on destiny or any game i play.
thing is i don't want to cut gaming out altogether because i do enjoy playing destiny with friends online even if its just for a few hours a day, (any one with any advice on gaming let me know your thoughts on this)
to exercise more, hopefully that will have a knock-on effect and il sleep better because right now my sleeping pattern is not where i want it to be i need to be going to bed earlier and waking up earlier.
any help is appreciated guys.
keep up the good work
