• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Suffering from withdrawal

Hey everyone, well...this is my story and I hope you all can help me ou here because I really need the help...

I completely withdrew looking @ gay porn and masturbation on Monday, July 11, and it has literally been hell on earth for me. I can't take it anymore! I feel like giving up. This is horrible for me. I can't stand it dealing with this! I'm going through so much and then I have to deal with withdrawal- this is almost unbearable for me...I can't take it anymore! I have so much sexual tension building up inside me that it's making me feel so horny, yet so angry and so agitated. I cant belive how painful the withdrawal is. I mean, this is my fourth day being sober and it already feels like a month.
So far my withdrawal symptoms are:
ongoing long lasting erections <edit>
My body has been shaking
I've been very tired yet at times I'm completely restless
I've been in distress due to the sexual tension building up
Can't stop thinking about sex- super horny
I've been really agitated, irratated, and aggravated
I've been isolated
I've been depressed
<edit>
I've been anxious
Headaches...

Please pray for me....
I really need the support....
Thanks and God bless....
