    Hi to whoever reads this,
    I've been addicted to PMO since the late 90s, I'm 37, and I thought it was just part of life. Then I saw YT video about 6 months ago that made me question everything.

    Since then I've tried quitting a few times and failed. I'm 21 days in today, and feel so lonely and depressed. Like this perpetual darkness just floating around my brain with insomnia for the last five nights.

    And I was obsessing over this girl I barely know, and it was causing me all kinds of stress, like my brain was on a loop. Almost like I was replacing porn with another obsession. I've managed to snap out of that today, but I'm feeling very low.

    I'm predisposed to depression and anxiety, but I'm just after some human company.

    Just relax and concentrate on your breath. Just watch your thoughts but don't act on it.

    Welcome, Matt_Es! Congrats on the decision to make this change, and on making it to three weeks. That's no small feat! You can do this. Fight with everything you've got through these low times. You can't go through this process without some suffering, but brighter days, a sense of freedom, and new possibilities are ahead! Stay strong.

    Hang in there, man. Your brain is going to try all sort of tricks to get you back into the habit. It's like if raising the libido doesn't work, then it will make you sad so you seek comfort from it. Just try to step back and see what's happening. Any pain, discomfort or distress will pass if you give it a bit of time. You've got a larger goal here.
