    Hey Guys... first of all, sorry for my English grammar.

    I am addicted to porn for about 12 years (I'm 25), when I was young I masturbate to pictures, soft porno.. now I can spend 5-6 hour a day and edging to hardcore porn. I feel terrible.. I have social phobia, anxiety, extreme fatigue, I have problem to talk to different people on the street or look at their eyes. My confidence is 0. Yesterday I went to lab because I wanted to check my hormonal levels.

    Cortisol 25,50 ug/dl (5,49-28,30)
    Estrogen 32 pg/ml (<32) !!
    Prolactin 17,50 ng/ml (2,64-13,10) !!

    Testosterone 740 ng/dl (259-816)

    I am feel like a zombie... my eyes are almost closed, I can sleep for 12 hours a day. Sometimes I don't want to live, this addiction is very hard to beat.. I have rls too (dopamine deficiency syndrome)

  2. I think you need to find a therapist to discuss your mental problems. Anxiety and social phobia require treatment. I suggest you also to meet regular doctor to discuss your hormones and most probable reasons. Try not to panic. You have a problem - you need to look for a solution and most likely avoiding porn won't solve it entirely. Of course I recommend you to stop PMO, but don't let it stop you from looking for professional help.

  3. Agreed. Professional help is a must. You need it. You deserve it.

  4. I see. You know, I have a similar yet not as deep of an issue that I have experienced. It is always hard, when faced with something as sensitive. Yet it is best to prevent, then treat. Because the harsh reality is we form a loop. An addictive loop. One where we feel stress, anxiety and then, you relapse, only to blame yourself and that regret returns to the same situation as before. What I recommend, is to start with a walk. Just, get outside, see the scenery, do something that is proactive and, enjoyable. Life has so much to offer, and you are so young! Give meaning to who you are, and you will find that you are not as you see yourself, you are a decent human being.
