    I used porn as a self-remedy for some serious psychological issues. It's taken quite a long time to come to terms with it, but I'm really glad I did.

    I sought psychological help, voluntarily admitted myself in an in-patient clinic, and got medication to help with major depressive disorder, OCD, and mood stabilization. I'm very grateful to have taken the initiative to see these services, and I'm grateful to the people here who suggested it.

    But I'm still struggling. I want to keep improving, but I feel like I'm currently on a plateau. I'm wondering if there are other people on Nofap with any psychological advice on how to keep moving forward.

    Thank you.

    A lot of my problems now stem from social anxiety and concerns with being an emotional weight to others. I've been concerned for a long time about how I might harm others physcially (OCD thoughts), but now a lot of my fears come from being a burden on others emotionally.

    Moving forward would be feeling more comfortable with myself, and establishing some base confidence in myself that doesn't rely solely on accomplishments.
