Yes I know it’s ironic, posting this here. But I find that browsing the forum really affects my anxiety about the issue. It seems like there’s 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 wasn’t alone and there’s 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.
Can’t 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 aren’t honest with yourself and work on the mind and mind-body connection.
I guess for me it’s just that I see some people saying they’ve been at it forever and they never see improvement. But I guess this is where I need to use CBT and be like, “look you’re gonna work your ass off for this, and improvement is going to come.”
I can see your point… and maybe I was of that opinion once…. But my take is that you have to say…. Yep I’m anxious …. but hey…. I’m doing something positive about it… which you are by being here and talking about it.
I’m now finding the community part of the app very helpful and encouraging…
I’m feeling a whole lot better about my situation with ED… this will probably be my last subscription… and I feel pretty sure I’ll move on without it…
Good luck sir… think positive… it does work this change of mindset stuff.
yes. i don’t browse it bc of this. i just stick to the content. i’ve had success and don’t comment. so maybe the successful ones just don’t feel like commenting?
Yessir. Right now, it’s 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 that’s just the start. Congratulate yourself. It’s never easy being a man saying ‘I need help to improve’ but there’s a strength in that. We’re 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.
