I'm a NEET, struggling with porn addiction. I coom 1~4 times a day, and feel absolutely miserable afterwards. I've been trying to stop for years, but I have withdrawal pangs when doing so, like nausea.

I've tried watching videos and reading books about it, but they mention things like "friends" and "partners," and that throws me off: they are meant for people, not me.

Is it even possible at this point? I'm unironically considering ending it all.

You need a job. You have too much time to watch porn. Take magnesium.

>>33294925 (OP)
What problem are you facing? From what you said it just sounds like you masturbate 1-4 times a day which is normal for someone with a high libido.

>>33294934
I can't get one right now because I'm ill, both physically and mentally.
>magnesium
Would that help?
>>33294938
It's fucking me up. It's not even about libido at this point, it's like a compulsion for mood regulation and coping.
It feels good for a bit but horrible for the rest of the day, until the cravings come back.
It's like being an alcoholic living in a bar.

>>33294925 (OP)
the solution to porn is not more imaginary stuff(books & videos? wtf. you're still daydreaming anon)
the real world awaits you, unironically go outside

>>33294976
As of today, it's kinda complicated to go outside for more than a few minutes.

>tfw did it again
Would alcohol curb the urges?

>>33294938

Zoomers are cooked lol

people jack off at the computer, and moreso these days on their phone, because they're bored with nothing to do in complete isolation and so they wack their dicks off chasing after that 0.5 second of chemical rush to their brain.

Before porn started being uploaded directly into people's brains in the late 00s, if you were jacking off 4 times a day it's because you were like 12 years old and just discovered jacking off last month or whatever.

>>33295128
what about tomorrow and the rest of the week?

>>33294970
>mentally and physically ill
How? There is a guy with cerebral palsy at my work who still works as a cook. Anxiety dies not count as an illness you just have to get over it lmao.

>zoomers are cooked!
Nigger you are 30+ why are you using zoomerspeak. You fags adopt every new zoomer term and meme.

>It's not even about libido at this point, it's like a compulsion for mood regulation and coping.
That does sound like an issue. I think I sort of know what you mean because sometimes when I feel like shit I just masturbate a few times in a row to like...distract myself? Vent my feelings? Is that how you feel kind of? Or am I way off?

Masturbation is a really tricky thing to manoeuvre around because it's something that you should want to do even if you're healthy. It's like a food addiction in that way. Like...it's good to eat, and it's good to masturbate, but it's harmful to feel a compulsion to do either of these things in a disordered way.

One thing that can make things much harder is if you feel like a failure every time you masturbate. This is just a classic trap for ending any kind of addiction. Weirdly enough, it's much easier to end addictions if you're cold-hearted and clear-headed about any lapses. Thinking "fuck...I'm so addicted...I'll never get over this...I'm a failure" teaches you that you're going to be trapped here forever. Thinking "damn, that was a mistake. Oh well, beating addiction is going to be a hard path and I'll make missteps every now and then. How do I best make sure I don't do this again?" is much more effective.
>>33295532
What you describe is a real phenomenon, and it's not a good sign. But even if you live a fulfilling and busy life you're going to masturbate, and people with high libidos are going to masturbate 1-4 times a day. Or have sex, I guess, if that's an option for them.

>>33294925 (OP)

yes OP, it's still possible!

slow steps though, if you rush in with that dopamine rush, it'll feel 10x worse when you relapse ...

everyone is right, your main priority should be getting a job, everything else will fall into place after that !

>>33294934
I'm a NEET like OP and got a job at a supermarket and they give me like 15 hours a week and it's revolving so sometimes I don't go in for 1 week at a time and it hasn't fixed my life at all. I'm basically still a NEET going into a supermarket twice a week doesn't really do much but now I have money for a fleshlight and might drop a band on a HQ prostie

>>33294925 (OP)
Try enjoying it instead of feeling bad. That might solve your problem.

I notice that when i have a lot of stuff to do i tend to masturbate less or not masturbate at all, maybe the solution comes along with occupying yourself with other toughts or other things to do (the getting a job stuff might actually help here). Also beware of what triggers you to do it, for me is sexy women on instagram or simply using my phone in the bathroom, it's not like i will stop doing those either but knowing it triggers me makes me feel a little less guilty.

>>33294925 (OP)
Yes, it is possible.
First remove everything that can tempt you - if you have naughty stuff saved on your hard drive, then delete it. If you have account on naughty sites, change the password to something random that you couldn't possible remember or brute force.
Now the Internet is a difficult thing, since porn is available everywhere. There a we protection software available (like K9 We protection, but I am not sure if it's still being supported or if there are alternatives).
Next step would be to occupy your time with something more meaningful or anything that is not lewd for that matter. Even if you just go for a walk, it can help you. First it helps you get your muscles and blood moving again, you get some fresh air, less poison from the screen and sunlight.
Focus on your goals. Once you can occupy your time with something that genuinely interests and motivates you, you'll forget about porn.

>>33294925 (OP)
You've been fucked over by society. Probably depressed and hopeless. There is no fixing or turning back to normal. And if you stopped, what would you do instead? You were probably led to do this because nothing else was working and nothing will ever be in your reach. Give your life an absurd purpose that will give you motivation to train and not waste time; right now I'm studying hard and going to the gym everyday in hopes of becoming strong enough to lead the Incel Revolution.

>>33294925 (OP)
I think you know what you need to do, you just rather not. You're in a bad cycle that you need to break, it's like kicking a drug. You also need to preoccupy yourself with stuff that matters. Whether you want to or not, that's your choice. Everything in life is a choice. You can't expect to have friends or partners when you're stuck inside wallowing in self-pity. Killing yourself over a resolvable issue seems silly too. Step back, stop lying to yourself, and make the hard choices anon. You'll either hate yourself more or thank yourself later.

>>33295843
that's because that's a worthless job anon, if you don't find something rewarding your have no hope of beating an reward-based addiction, that's just the harsh truth

>>33295532
I used to go for walks during the night. I would do it way less back then.
>>33295563
Yeah, that's the thing. Isolating myself made it everything worse.
>>33295655
>Is that how you feel kind of?
Yep, pretty much. Sometimes I'm not even horny, I'm just feeling down and I do it.
>Thinking "fuck...I'm so addicted...I'll never get over this...I'm a failure" teaches you that you're going to be trapped here forever. Thinking "damn, that was a mistake. Oh well, beating addiction is going to be a hard path and I'll make missteps every now and then. How do I best make sure I don't do this again?" is much more effective.
That's an interesting take, many thanks. I always feel terrible after it, and it always ends in a relapse.
>>33295674
I can't get one just yet (ill), maybe next year, but I would like to start getting rid of it.
>>33295843
Do you still do it as much?

>>33295989
I tried embracing it, but it made the addiction worse. I was gooning 24/7.
>>33296055
>sexy women on instagram
Same. I tried blocking some sites, but even YouTube has some spicy stuff. It's awful.
>>33296110
Thanks for the tips. I don't save porn, nor do I have accounts in these sites. It's mostly Instasluts that I stumble across the web.
It's avoidable, but if I'm feeling down it is also easy to find.
>>33296182
I blame myself but I get your point. Like other anons have said, lack of purpose is a problem.
>>33296221
Thanks fren. It is terrible, but I don't blame others for it, I was just a bit frustrated when comparing myself to a normal person, hence why the tips and tricks from the videos/book will not be as effective on me.
I'll be starting on some new medicine tomorrow, so that may help to kickstart some change.

>>33294925 (OP)
i'd be your friend and help you but i can't do it if you're under 24 years old

>>33294925 (OP)
>Is it even possible at this point? I'm unironically considering ending it all.

Just fucking stop it's that simple, this younger generation of brain dead retards have forgotten what will power is.

>>33295563

chat, is this real? I'm cooking, let me cook

>>33295655
>people with high libidos are going to masturbate 1-4 times a day.
guaranteed that would drop down to once a week if you stopped watching porn, assuming you're not underage or barely 18.

>>33296314
>I used to go for walks during the night. I would do it way less back then.
night walks are comfy, especially in the summer.

>>33294925 (OP)
>I'm a NEET
I won't read self-inflicted problems threads.

>>33296491
I'm around that.
>>33296960
The cravings get stronger and will power diminishes as time goes by. It's not that simple for me.
>>33296973
>night walks are comfy
I used to see threads about them back in the day, but they are gone.
>>33297003
I got diagnosed as a legit schizo when I was a teen and kinda gave up after that. I'm not justifying my situation, but it's something that happened.

>>33296314
Yeah, one of the hardest things is accepting that it's okay to not be hard on yourself. In fact, it's the only way to make it.
>>33296973
>guaranteed that would drop down to once a week if you stopped watching porn, assuming you're not underage or barely 18.
Well that's embarrassing for you because there've been plenty of times I haven't been able to access porn and my libido hasn't budged an inch. Hell, whenever I have a sexual partner of some kind I stop watching porn but I still fuck 1-3 times a day.
