I've struggled with porn since I turned 12 and I constantly feel depressed, anxious, worthless, and ashamed of myself. I constantly have this physical pain in my head, like something is screaming, wanting to cry out but just cant. I've tried to quit in the past but I kept spiraling into deep depressive episodes and eventually relapsing, but now that I understand more (I'm reading Your Brain On Porn, I almost cried when I first started), I really really want to stop all of this and have a healthy and fulfilling life, so I have a couple questions.
- How should I go about NoFap when reddit is a big trigger for me?
Theres lots of novel and hardcore adult content on reddit and I would frequent the worst of the worst on here. I love using reddit to get advice or learn about things, but the NSFW stuff is always there. Any tips to get around this? (I've found in the past that I easily just go to settings and turn on NSFW).
- How long before I'm able to start dating/socialize normally?
Throughout my youth I've realized that I have some pretty bad social anxiety and depression symptoms, mostly deriving from porn usage but including some other traumatic events. I know that ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to be in a romantic relationship. I've only had a couple very rushed and discouraging sexual experiences due to porn. How do I get past this so I can live up to my wishes from childhood?
If I'm getting any of this wrong, please let me know because I want to end this strugggle one and for all. Any advice appreciated.
