I cannot swallow normal food, even soup I struggle with. But I can swallow nutrient drinks from the pharmacy with relative ease.

Can I make my own mixture of meat and vegetables that have the same consistency as these nutrient drinks?

If anyone knows any links or recipes for this, I'm eager to learn

I feel like I would be healthier eating this kind of mixture, perhaps.

But at least it will be a little better. So I'm still doing it!

I have taken a gastroscopy and xray (while swallowing this white liquid). They found nothing wrong on either.

The next step is I'm prescribed some stomach acid inhibitors now, for a month

The doctor basically said that there's nothing left to try after that.

Now this is how I experience the difficulty swallowing:

* Nutrient drinks works well enough to swallow, I can get enough calories through them.

* With normal food, I can take a couple bites but then after a few bites it feels like I'm going to get it stuck in my throat if I continue eating. It's like there's a mechanism that makes my body reject the food after a few bites, making it harder and harder for each bite, and then impossible.

* Feels like food is going down slowly sometimes, I notice this with the nutrient drinks sometimes. And that slow feeling was apparent before the swallowing difficulty became extreme. The problem started off more mild a few months ago, and suddenly it was near impossible to swallow food.

Medications I'm on is Zyprexa, an antipsychotic. The doctor doubted this could be a cause.

I was also on metoprolol, which I tapered off a while ago to see if it caused it, the situation haven't improved after quitting it, so I'm about to rule it out.

Is it common to feel tired/sleepy during the day when quitting porn? I think I'm on day 23 now, and I want to lay down on the bed for a while to just rest. Can't tell if it's the warm weather or a symptom of the brain repairing itself from porn, or a combination.

I'm not gonna complain too much, I don't mind the sleepy feeling. Feels good to just relax for a bit.

I've had these moments every 7 days or something where I peek at stuff for just a few seconds before I think "wtf am I doing" and go back to the plan of pornfree.

I feel these are insignificant in the way that they are just so small to probably not even affect recovery much.

But I want to be 100% free, not 99.99%.

So that's something I need to be better at.

Still going strong though.

It's not a big deal if I can manage to stay off. It's the big picture that counts. "all or nothing-mentality" is not good. Agree/disagree?

I will continue on with the best of my ability and not feel bad about the relapse.

I think I'm on day 12 now, initially I felt very tired and unmotivated, it passed, but today I'm feeling it again, don't know if it's just a bad day or if it's withdrawals

I have issues swallowing food and I'm in the process of getting it looked at by doctors, taking gastroscopy, x-rays etc to find out the cause. This is stressing me out a whole lot. To be honest, I kind of quit porn because of this, because my brain always tries to improve on other things to make myself feel better when something else is wrong. That way I feel I'm moving forward in some aspects of life.

So I have the withdrawals on top of the anxiety from my health issue. And the health issue is stressing me out a fair amount.

So I thought, should I just consume porn while I get this problem solved?

I'm leaning towards thinking that it would be silly to go watch porn now just to get rid of the withdrawals, because I know how it will negatively affect my life, and I'm already 6 days free now.

So maybe just push through then.

Thoughts?

And the extreme lack of motivation lifted yesterday, now I'm able to watch a movie or a youtube video and actually focus. I was afraid that it would last a really long time. Probably not 100% back to normal though but happy with the progress.

I'm only on the third day. It's daunting realizing the anxiety withdrawal symptom from quitting may last a while, with my "normal" anxiety on top of that. But hey, I'll look back and be glad I did it now and not later right?
