14y/o I need help

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Dec 1, 2018.

  1. I strongly suspect I may have been abused sexually as a baby/toddler because there are so many holes in my childhood memories. The worst part of it is that I have been watching porn since I was 3 years old purely for pleasure instead of curiosity.
    I have developed weird and sick fetishes that I'm not comfortable speaking about some of these fetishes as this would already be too much that I'm finally exposing about myself.
    I have struggled with depression for years including suicidal thoughts, and I use PMO as temporary relief.
    I have been trying and trying to get atleast to a 14 days streak for years but my longest streak is 9 days.
    This PMO shit is so engrained into my mind that I wake up in the middle of the night fucking naked and masturbating in my sleep (this happens sometimes multiple times a night until I relapse) having dreams about watching porn and acting out my sick fantasies in my dreams.
    Going outside isn't an option to relieve my urges because exhibitionism is one of my fetishes. But I already workout and study lots.
    I don't either need or want psychiatric help as I am too ashamed to tell anyone in person and want to beat this on my own to teach myself discipline. My standards are to quit porn and masturbation forever and to never jack off again in my entire life.
    PM me if you want.

    For someone your age and what you're describing, therapy is the best course of action.
    I know you don't wanna hear me say this, but this is the truth - you need to get help. Especially if you're afraid you might have been sexually abused. Watching porn for pleasure since the age of 3 is definitely not normal.

    You've got no need to be ashamed of anything. No one is going to judge you, especially not a a certified therapist.
    You're still very young, you're not a full-grown adult who made some poor life choices. You were possibly abused and you had access to porn at the age of 3. If anything, it sounds to me like you were allowed to do so and if there was some form of abuse(sounds to me like there deifnitely was)that same person who abused you probably got you into watching it in the first place or possibly watched it with you. Tell your parents that, please, let them know!

    The problem is not with you, for something like that to happen, there most have been another party involved that hurt you really bad.
    Also, depression and suicidal thoughts are not something NoFap is going to solve you nor something its community alone can help you solve.
    We're here for support, but you need the help of a professional therapist. There's absolutely no shame in that. I've told some super embarrassing stuff to my therapist and trust me when I tell you - that helped me. Getting those thoughts off my chest and have someone listen to me and advise me did make me feel better.

    We're here for you, we're here to support you. My first advice - seek professional therapy and don't be ashamed of your problems, they do not represent who you really are. They're just a by-product of a fucked up childhood. And luckily for you, at your age they're much easier to treat and solve rather than in fully developed adults.

    I have heard it said that any memories people claim to have before three years of age are unreliable at best and false at worst. So why would you suspect you were abused sexually as a baby/toddler? How can you be so precise about your porn memories and the motives you had to watch them?

    You won't beat this alone, but we are ready, willing and able to help.

    That could mean someone else was there, with him. Maybe there was indeed some form of abuse. Have you heard about the case of Beth Thomas? She explicitly remembered her father abusing her since she was a toddler. It was all true, it made her become very violent and hateful.
    He could have been through something similar but possibly less traumatic than full on physical abuse.
    That being said, if he indeed has depression and suicidal thoughts, that's another thing that could potentially indicate on abuse. Regardless, he still needs therapy for these non-PMO related problems alone.

    I sorry to read that. You obviously need some help. I'm not sure this forum is enough in your case. Of course you're welcome here and it could help you but it's true you need some kind of therapy to get better. First of all, bear in mind that the fact you decided to quit PMO is already a great thing. It will certainly take some time and be difficult but you are on the right path ! Please, whatever happen, do not give up !

    Brain-fart. I have no clue why I wrote "that could mean". Maybe* someone was there with him that exposed him to pornographic content at that age and he vaguley remembers the experience.

    Of course it is possible. But my post was about the reliability of his memory. Also, why his absence of memory as a baby would be significant. Personally, I remember nothing as a baby.

    I agree with the last part. That's correct. But - he won't just come up with fabricated/imaginary memories of himself masturbating while watching porn at the age of 3 and then struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts later on in his life. Depression is many times, if not most times the result of abuse.
    Assuming that he suffers from actual depression and suicidal thoughts. Since nowadays, many people, especially teens seems to think that every sad phase they go through and whenever they feel down it's labeled as "depression" without really knowing what depression really is.
    But in his case, I think that might be actual depression and I'm not going to make assumptions that it isn't because I definitely don't want to kick him when he's already down.

    Wow you seem to have it worse than most people I read on this website.

    But there is still hope for you yet. It won't be easy but you just need to take it one step at a time. Find what keeps you away from masturbation and what causes you to crave porn. Avoid the bad stuff and go towards the good stuff.

    And don't let a relapse discourage you. Just brush it off and keep moving forward.

    Allowing a 3 year old to watch porn is sexual abuse. How does that happen?

    You're a special case since your brain was so young when you first started watching P. You need professional help 100% Maybe see your school psychologist
