I managed to not masturbate for 8 days! (Its my first time 🥹)

As a person that already exposed to adult things since high school, even as a muslim, its really hard for me to detach it from myself, ig its already 4/5 years im stuck in this loop, at first I feel so bad for doing it, keep hating myself as yk its prohibited.

But, after some time, it alter my brain saying its only my coping mechanism, its "normal" to do it, a part of me accepting it as a fact, but i know theres still part of me that know this is wrong. I tried to stop for 2,3 days, but what i got is mood swings, i easily get irritated with small things, and I cried easily (im an overthinker, so my past memories keeps replaying n triggering me). So, it got me thinking that, there's either i release in two ways, crying, or masturbate.

So, unfortunately there's a white thing stuck on my thing (where I usually rub), n it makes me worried n insecure about my future, what if my future husband see this etc. Then, during this period I start to seek how to get rid of it, n its working after years!

Now, im kinda worried if im relapsed, I still sometimes watch porn on reddit, read 18+ but I didnt touch myself. I think like I need to strengthen my deen n get closer with God, but im still scared if I slipped off

Feels I Have Lost Myself.

Hi,

So a bit about me - A 24M here, looking here for suggestions and serious help me out of the mess I am in. I really think I am the one who got myself into this mess and now can't get out of it.

Jerking off 2-3 times a day.. almost daily for like past, 7-8 months. Like an impulsive action. Like a routine, that I need to follow every day, every night. Consuming porn, like crazy. Watch all the crazy things, even AI shits, fantasize about the roleplay. Every worst possible thing you can think of. Feels like it has sucked life out of me. No purposeful work. No working towards any goal. Hell, I don't even know if I am doing anything apart from my 9-5 job. No friends. No social life. (Got betrayed by some friends.. that's a whole damn story.) But somehow I have made peace with the social situation. It's a lonely fucking life. Have to carry myself alone. No one will carry it for me.

Insta, Tele, Reddit, all of these, and watching all the things you can imagine. I can't even break myself from this loop. At this point, it feels like nothing excites me anymore. Can't sit down in silence even for a sec. Even when I sit down, I will get on the headphones, and get lost in the music. This is another type of addiction. I feel like I being slaved by my mind. Looking for things, and doing things, that will bring back excitement in my life, but in turn I end up lonelier than ever.

I feel like, I have lost all hope of redeeming myself. Recover myself back. I try. But I can't. I relapse. I do it, because there's nothing else that excites me anymore. But doing this, I drown in guilt. Every night, I go to sleep with a disappointment about how I have wasted my day.

I feel sorry guys, but please help me.

Edit - Added some additional details.

I cannot even imagine my life without porn.

I am on my day 7 rn, and before writing this I got this urge to watch it. It wasn't anything like heavy but only because of boredom my mind was king of telling me to do the only pleasurable thing I know about.

This got me thinking about how much deeply this addiction is embedded in me. Like in the times of boredom or after a stressful day when I want to enjoy or just chill, my definition of relaxing is so much altered that I know nothing outside of porn.

I've been dealing with this for like past 8 years, but never have I ever truly imagined what life would look like without it. 7 days is a lot for a person like me and every single day feels new, as if I am discovering something about me, it is not like bad days are completely gone but my tolerance to deal with them is exponentially increasing. I might not accept it but after contemplating I realised how much deep in my subconscious this habit is framed. It is like after a certain while, I started to accept that loop of watching porn and then later regretting it and then making a decision to never watch it only to relapse a few days later.

Uncertainty was the main factor behind all this because the only constant and familiar thing happening was porn and this loop of decision breaking. But I got be ready for life, to experience it, to live it because now I finally understand this rabbit hole, just because the hell is familiar does not mean I have to burn in it for eternity.

I am 24 years old and I masturbate watching Porn once a month. Is it harmful?

I masturbated watching porn since I was 12 or 13. I watched it and masturbate almost daily until I was 19. I had 3 years of total abstinence when I was 19 to 22. Then, I did it again but the frequency when I was 23 was every 2 weeks, Now at 24 I watch it once a month. I want to get clean from that stimulation since it is not real and it can affect the pleasure I can get with a real woman having sex. Can I recover 100% from this and get to my max potencial of orgasm and libido in real sex?

I FAILED

I started my journey because i have nonvenereal sclerosing lymphangitis it takes between 2 to 6 weeks to heal, i was committed to not fapping for as long as it takes to treat my condition and just so I would know that i have the willpower to abstain from temptation and quick pleasure, today on the fifteenth day i failed myself for a jerk that lasted 2 minutes... I'm leaving this here as a reminder to myself of how ashamed and weak i feel right now and every time i feel like doing it again i can come back here to remember this feeling of shame.
