It’s awesome to see I’m not alone in my struggle

[Coleslawjenkins]

Hey everyone!! I’ve been dealing with extreme anxiety and depression which got worse after my transition from highschool into adult life. I knew my addiction to porn was getting bad. I had first meddled in pornography around the age of 9. I’ve recently experienced a panic attack for the first time which upped my anxiety and caused me to have multiple anxiety attacks. On top of my anxiety I’ve been experiencing a whole slew of physical and mental health problems, but I would have never guessed that my addiction to porn is likely the cause for 90% of my problems. I’ve spent so many trips to the doctor worrying something was wrong, I even quit my job last year and have dug myself into a hole I didn’t think I could recover from. I’m at the one week mark and I couldn’t be happier. The withdrawal is terrible, but it feels amazing knowing that I will be better with time. I feel SO reassured now that I know I can fix my problems. It’s also comforting to see so many people are struggling with a lot of the same problems I am and are working together to overcome the urge to give in. Can’t wait to better myself! cheers
