Porn withdrawal depression

I’ve experienced depression while trying to get off porn. I’ve also been diagnosed to have bipolar depression and have dealt that for decades.

If there’s a simple truth about life it is that it is complicated. Some may have depression, others not. My sister suffered worse than I did. Our brother soldiered on with occasional anger and, for many years, a drinking problem, but never descended into depressive disfunction and obsession with negativity.

I’ve written in my journal about how the mental health industry has failed to cure addiction, but it has had success in one area: the treatment of depression with medications.

I’ve had great success being treated by a medical professional. There’s no guarantee you will be forever free of depressive thoughts. In fact, there’s no guarantee it will work at all. But the question I asked myself was: “Do I want to keep feeling this way?”

 

Yeah man it happens. Going from masturbating a lot to nothing can have some effects on the brain. For me it was intense lucid dreams. You just need to keep fighting because I can assure you that the depression you're feeling now is nothing compared to living a life plagued by porn. Stay strong man!

 

Going through depression, guilt, shame and other difficult emotions is perfectly normal during overcoming porn addiction.

 

Exactly what I'm expecting to happen when I quit .

All I can say is keep going

Focus on a better life
