How deal with sadness

I can stay away from PMO when I'm good... But if I am sad I get tempted all the time

That has been the reason for my failure and I don't know what to do

I think it is common to use addictions (like porn) to self-medicate against depression. I'd suggest trying another outlet for your sadness -- exercise, change of environment, etc. For me, it has been my faith in God that has been my source of strength.

If you have chronic depression, then you may need to see a therapist or counselor.

You'll have to figure what works for you.

A good sleeping pattern will regulate your mood. I'd start with sleeping better.

Going outside: same.

Writing my thoughts after waking up and before going to bed helped me a lot in going from depressed to happy.

I've struggled with this a lot during reboot attempts. Sometimes its been due to withdraws and flat-lines. But other times its been due to depression which resulted in me seeing a counsellor.

It may be the case that your addiction is inked to an underlying mental health issue that requires attention. The best thing I have got from rebooting is realising this in my own case and taking the appropriate action. That takes a lot of self honesty but its also one of the best actions of self care that you can take.

I'm 9 days into a reboot and I've had chronic sadness that I think is due to my withdraws. I've been off and on with reboot streaks over the last couple of years having had a few years before doing well and getting long efforts under my belt. The withdraws sadness can be enough to get you back on the porn so In that case its best to try and fight it out. But be aware that underlying there may be another issue,

Hope that helps!

Decaptare, this is totally normal to feel sad or like shit time to time in your life. This is the beauty of life and whatever you want it or not, sadness is coming... the most important question is how do you deal with your negative emotions??
You must learn how to cope with sadness or any negative emotions the right way.

Here are some things that really helped me(remeber the key is to occupy your mind with something useful, don't let your mind think about your sadness for too long or you will relapse)

1)Getting rid of your comfort zone:
when you feel sad, try to come out of your comfort zone. My examples of comming out of my comfort zone would be.... meeting new people, say a compliment to a girl, text a random girl or try to make someone smile epecially if you haven't seen this person smile in a while... etc (use your imagination whatever makes you come out of your comfort zone and this will occupy your mind)

2)Train your willpower :
Will power and self-discipline is like a muscle you have to exercise it to get good at it. Create daily tasks that you must accomplish, no matter what! start with easy tasks and work your way up.

3)Set your Hope on God:
No matter what but you can't set your hope on your friends or a girlfriend. Friends can betray you, girlfriend can leave you. Set your hope on something Who is above that.

4)Don't let your life to be ruin because of "pussy"
During your reboot, you will want to be emotionally connected to a girl more than ever! Watch out for that, don't be desperate. Take your time and be patient.

Hope that helps my friend and stay strong!
