Positive effects of depression
May 4th, 2011 in Psychology & Psychiatry
Sadness, apathy, preoccupation. These traits come to mind when people think about depression, the world's most frequently diagnosed mental disorder. Yet, forthcoming research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology provides evidence that depression has a positive side-effect.

Hey guys,
I have noticed that many people enjoy watching the video of female faces on youtube to help urges and withdrawal etc. I would like to introduce to you a female vocalist that has been one of my favorites since 2001.
Tina Malia
Over the years of troubled times I've had, her music has always lifted up my soul, and helped me though many tough times. Since we are on the topic of healing though healthy female image and motherly instinct, I think she is perfect for music. Her voice is soothing and healing.

Hi. I would like to add some thoughts about my experience on porn withdrawal. I`ve been staying away from porn for a good month now and some days are easier than others. When i find myself bored after work it`s really hard to abstain from porn. And in my deepest thoughts i`m actually telling myself that it will be even better to masturbate to porn if i am able to withdraw for a long time. At the same time i know this is wrong and i really don`t want to fool myself like this!

Over the past week I've been able to say "Hi" to women. Or make small talk with them. Now usually I'd be too afraid. And I don't use any pickup method (just doesn't work for me), I'm all about being natural. (which works quite well) So today I'm just dressed in shirt and jeans, nothin' special. And I see this really pretty girl on the other side of the street all dolled up. Well she was waiting for the same bus and came over to my side, after seeing it. Now I think she's cute but, I just act like I'm not interested.

I didn't sleep too well last night. Probably due to the act or just having things on my mind. Last week was a difficult week. But, now that my friend will be busy I'll have more time for introspection and recuperation. I've been lazy with exercising and tired from working (early shifts and afternoon shift changes). I know what triggered my relapse. I feel anxious and a bit slow, like I can't really organize my thoughts. I need to change my daily routine, today I'm going to do that. Eat at a certain time, sleep at a certain time.

I'm currently on Day 11 of my previous run. Now day 0 after giving in. I've had a lot on my mind. So of course the addictive mind was proposing a superficial solution. I looked at some porn, didn't find it particularly arousing. I was about to close the window but then thought, oh I already gave in and watched the videos. So, then I went back to it. I've made some small progress til today. But, that's all part of the process. I had to file a complaint due to my landlord not fixing the problems I'm in my apartment. I've been a bit more aggressive this week, just moody.

My OCD is seriously making me worry over alot of things. I had trouble sleeping while dealing with some thought that wouldn't go away, I wake up and there it is. OCD is normal for me after a relapse, its amazing how it manifests itself. I've been feeling alot more social and whatnot but I'm still neurotic. I still have a tendency to 'check' things or to ruminate over a certain thought, no matter how odd the logic behind it may seem. I've had some mood swings, but the poor me feeling is no longer here. I do still deal with the internal repressed baggage, and it ain't pretty.

I went 5 weeks, something that I'm proud of myself for achieving. I know I can do it again, now that I've learned from those 5 weeks. I was feeling sorry for myself again. That whole "poor me" (I have no romance in my life) thinking still lingers somewhat. I don't like it, but I can't make it go away either. I try to just let it be. The situation is no different whether I self medicate with p/m or not. I'm still alone, at least by abstaining I can feel better about myself and have some dignity. That's the main thing for me.

Over the past week, women have been attracted to me. There was this really cute girl at work one day. She got out of her line just to walk over to my line (even though I had a few people to wait on), she still waited. She was quite shy, which I made her even more cute, so I had to make small talk. I was having a tough day but, that made me feel great, I didn't care about the day. Wish I had left my number on her receipt, next time I see a girl that likes me, I'll do that. Also people have been talking to me more, and some wanting to hang out with me.

Still motivated to push through, but I need to vent. I'm feeling lonely, not like I'm isolating myself and feeling lonely but more like I want to go out and socialize with people but I haven't been able to do so. And then I have to hear about what I missed out on. A coworker got three girls numbers, and all that. There's jealousy, because its been 2 years since I've had the type of physical attention, my coworker buddy has been bragging about. I feel trapped in these negative thoughts, thinking will I ever find someone in this small town?
