Tonight,my road to recovery continues positively.I had a pretty good day today.
Today,I woke up in the early morning and I bathed.After my bath,I dried up and shaved and had my usual quick breakfast and my usual 2 cups of coffee.After breakfast,I did my personal PC work and I got dressed.I proceeded to get on with the rest of my day as I had some stuff on my agenda.
I mailed out a couple more Christmas cards today.After mailing those,I headed over to a friends house to help him unload some stuff that he needed to unload by donating them to the Salvation Army.After we did that,I dropped him off at home and I headed for home.
On the way home,I stopped at a local Dollar Tree store to pick up a couple of things that were needed.After paying for those articles,I headed over to one of mom's friend's houses to pick up something for her.After picking them up,I headed straight home and that is where I stayed for the rest of the day as I had nothing else to do nor anyplace else to go.
When I got home,I relaxed and watched some TV for a while.
After eating,I watched the evening news for a while and I also did some more personal PC work.Overall,a pretty good day.
Though my recovery from bipolar depression with schizophrenic tendencies continues to go well,I am still,on a daily basis,continue to deal and struggle with it and their symptoms.I am still attending my therapy sessions.I am also taking my medication as directed.I am hoping to continue feeling better from that in the days and months ahead.
Regarding my SSA struggles,I gave into temptation early this morning.This time,it was both emotional and sexual.Images of naked men continued to cloud my mind and it was all feeling unbearable for me to handle.Plus,my genitals were about hard and I simply continued manipulating them.I gave into the temptation and I went all the way until I climaxed.I felt miserable and lousy after the whole thing happened.The reason why is because masturbation to any sexual fantasies with men or even for emotional reasons isn't going to get me what I truly need and want,which is affirmation of my gender identity and the feelings of authenticity that go with it.There is also another reason why I do masturbate.It is because I am trying to connect with my lost maleness,which though is senseless and will never give me anything like that at all,because when I finally became an adult man,I really didn't have the sense that I was A MAN as I didn't really feel like a man.I still don't feel like A MAN as I really don't know how a man is supposed to feel.After that masturbatory episode,I knew that I had to do some work.I ended my memberships with online groups that catered to such things as they were the ones that really triggered the fantasy stuff.It took me five minutes,but as of now,I am unsubscribed.It will take several days for the images to diminish,but I will be relieved when they do.Still,any form of advice or suggestions on what worked for any of you out there who regularly read my blog posts would be appreciated.I am always open to learning new positive coping skills.Thanks in advance for anything shared and/or provided.
As for tomorrow,I have made no plans.But whatever I do,I hope that it gives me positive benefits.
That was my day today and my hopes and plans for the day ahead.FJ
