Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is helpful to you, but I hope so.

Sounds like you're suffering a bit of pink-elephant syndrome. If I said to you "Dont think of pink elephants", naturally, the first thing you are going to think of is pink elephants.

Sometimes if I want to prevent certain thoughts/images popping into my head when I'm MB'ing, I have found the best thing to do is to focus on thoughts/images that ARE acceptable to me. eg, less objectionable/hardcore

I've seen some posts in this forum mentioning the possibility of MB'ing without any thoughts/imagery, but to me personally this is a bit unrealistic, bordering on impossible. Still, you may think differently. All the best.


When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful.... a miracle. Oh it was beautiful, magical.

Hello Iblivin4givinru, You story seems to be fluctuating quite a bit Lots of highs and lows. Im glad hopefully things are starting to stabalise for you though. I would strongly suggest starting a journal and asking one of the mods to move your posts into one thread. This will allow yourself, and others to keep a track of your journey morefully. As i think this is why your post has gone unnoticed.

Wish you the best of strength.

FM

Dude really great and all, But i think you need to ask a Mod to put your 14 posts into one thread. As they are scattered everywhere, and quite hard to follow your journey.

Glad things are getting better for you, and your feeling proud of yourself.

I hope I can help others, I have relapsed because I allowed myself to get into a situation that allowed me to do P. I'm back on the wagon again and learned a lesson.

I am married with 2 children and this is destroying my life.
I managed 12 days without, but I fell back in the 2 last days.

Very very sad and depressed...
