the Dark Friend Depression an effect of my PMO

depression has various degrees. Have you seen a doctor?

But all in all, there is more and more evidence that watching porn and masturbating to orgasm causes neurochemicals release in the brain and that it takes up to two weeks for the brain to stabilize. The effect varies from person to person. But there is the begining of a link between orgasm and mood swings.

And if you are lonely, the dopamine released by watching porn is indeed helping you to get thru. It's a vicious circle, causee your withdrawal from the rest of the world to be in your porn world. you feel bad about being alone. Porn fixes your bad feelings..rinse and repeat.

 

Did your depression cause addiction or the other way around? You sound like me. My depression brought me into this dark world.

 

I had a bad time with it for around two weeks one time. I didn't call any of my friends, didn't get up. Just tv, porn, and video games. I also had friends call me and ask to hang out but I would always make an excuse. It has been there before but that was the worst time I ever experienced.

 

Good point. People have this idea that kids are really adaptable and can adjust to anything. Not true! Certainly not in all cases.

Best not to dwell on the past though. Better to focus on the present.

 

I wouldn't claim I was depressed by porn, but rather fully numbed. The only happiness I delved was by games, porn and bad food.

 

I was depressed. Or so I thought.
I beat depression. Or so I thought.

Now I look back in retrospect and I believe that my depression was nothing more than a symptom of my porn/sex addiction, and my beating depression was nothing more than a temporary fulfillment of my addiction to porn/sex.

I don't have my thoughts on this 100% clear yet, since I just joined NoFap a few days ago, but I was already thinking this and I will write my own post soon.
