How do i stop compulsively fantasizing, a 4chan post on /adv/. ive been on a quest for a while now to go from being a mentally ill schizoaffective loner pedophile loser to a chill eccentric guy who likes to do his hobbies and experience life and stuff. in the previous step of my odyssey i had to figure out how to stop masturbating because it kept making me possessed by demons. figured out how to do that and all has been well for a couple of weeks. since then though ive encountered another problem which is that when i see a girl ill start to compulsively fantasize about her. even if the thoughts dont have form i can still feel the energy signature festering in the back of my head. This is an issue not only because it mentally and biologically hurts, but also because i keep doing it to every woman in my life, including children. I dont want to do this! :). if anybody has any advice or direction on where to go from here i would appreciate it. Thank you 4chan.
there is a ben stiller movie about this called The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. i haven't seen it. you said you stopped masturbating, fantasizing is mental masturbation. look into meditation, you need to change your minds into a flowing river where you can observe thoughts and let them float away unless you choose to engage with them instead of having a mind that is a stagnant swamp where things float to the surface
>>34545880I had the flowing river stuff going for a little while. The issue with that became apparent when the river became less of a river and more of a flooded river. I had to keep expanding the river but it kept flooding and then eventually i was just stuck on the floor while my head was screaming. I have no idea why this happened! Ill be sure to check out the movie though i like ben stiller!
>>34545865>mentally ill schizoaffective loner pedophile loser Elaborate on this (mostly the pedo part).
>>34545946>mentally ill schizoaffectiveI have mental sicknesses that impairs my functioning. Most of the time it presents as OCD symptoms and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and depression and stuff, but when i get really stressed out it presents as mania and hallucinations. >loneri have no friends because i cannot relate to anybody in my environments or at my job because they are hylics and i am not intelligent enough to figure out how to connect with hylics.>pedophileI have an attraction to girls as young as 12 years old. I find it revolting and i would never act on it because they are human beings and that would fuck them up for their whole lives, but its there and its a part of me and if i try to pretend like it isnt then that creates the possibility of me actually hurting another human being in that way. >loserall of the abov :)

>>34545865First off, I'm really proud of you for quitting masturbation. It's a difficult, but excellent start. The compulsive fantasizing seems to be an artifact of the masturbation habits. The first thing I recommend is that you see a therapist. These things don't happen for no reason and a therapist can help you figure out the root cause to better handle this. Secondly, the Rosary is an excellent tool to handle vices of all kinds, but especially lust. It will hurt, but unfortunately that is inevitable if you are going to strive to conquer your situation. The fact that it is a mental exercise paired with a physical object helps to direct your attention fully away from those thoughts which afflict you. Lastly, even if you're not religious, see a priest about this. They handle a great deal of these kinds of situations and can/will help you out. I will be praying for you. Pax Christi,Anon
