    I'm new at this. I normally lurk around websites reading whatever others post, being too shy to say anything myself. This website seems inviting though, and I really want to make this change.

    Anyway, I'm a 23 year-old college student. My interests include science, hipster music, and cats. I've struggled with anxiety for the last few years, occasionally running into pornography. Usually I would indulge a night or two, but then avoid it for a while. Last December it happened again, but this time I haven't been able to pull myself away.

    Pornography has made life miserable. My self-esteem is at an all-time low and I can add depression to the anxiety I already had. Every time I tell myself it will be the last, but it's been months now. I don't want this to be my life. I want to be happy again. I'm optimistic, it's still relatively early, but it's kind of scary. It feels good to type this. I think I like this website already.

    Welcome. I'm pretty new here too. And I battle depression and anxiety daily... This is a very supportive website. Everyone on here is really cool and non judgemental that I've seen so far.

    Keep reading around on here. There's a lot of good info. Start a journal And try the emergency button. It's worked for me a few times. Being able to post a positive journal entry kinda keeps me going.
