Yes I know itās ironic, posting this here. But I find that browsing the forum really affects my anxiety about the issue. It seems like thereās more failure stories and less success stories, but every other depressed or sad guy out there because of this makes me feel even worse. Does anyone else feel this?
Nope, showed me I wasnāt alone and thereās solidarity in that. Look up other CBT exercises and try that. Took me 2 months but I now feel a lot of my negative feelings and thoughts subsiding. And if you want a success story, I finally this week was able to get hard on my own all week. No porn, no nothing, but my fantasies and ole righty. 2 weeks ago and beyond, I could maybe jerk off, hard, once maybe twice a week.
Canāt say it enough, truly surrender to the help this app provides and be brutally honest with yourself and your feelings. This will not work if you arenāt honest with yourself and work on the mind and mind-body connection.
I guess for me itās just that I see some people saying theyāve been at it forever and they never see improvement. But I guess this is where I need to use CBT and be like, ālook youāre gonna work your ass off for this, and improvement is going to come.ā
I can see your pointā¦ and maybe I was of that opinion onceā¦. But my take is that you have to sayā¦. Yep Iām anxious ā¦. but heyā¦. Iām doing something positive about itā¦ which you are by being here and talking about it.
Iām now finding the community part of the app very helpful and encouragingā¦
Iām feeling a whole lot better about my situation with EDā¦ this will probably be my last subscriptionā¦ and I feel pretty sure Iāll move on without itā¦
Good luck sirā¦ think positiveā¦ it does work this change of mindset stuff.
yes. i donāt browse it bc of this. i just stick to the content. iāve had success and donāt comment. so maybe the successful ones just donāt feel like commenting?
Yessir. Right now, itās about putting ego and self consciousness aside right now. You have erection problems, as does everyone here. But guess what? You admitted you needed help, you came here and thatās just the start. Congratulate yourself. Itās never easy being a man saying āI need help to improveā but thereās a strength in that. Weāre emotional creatures as well and we need love and care like any other woman or child. So I repeat, congratulate yourself. I congratulate you as well, but it means more if you do it to yourself.
