I started watching porn from a fairly young age. It was casual in the beginning but as time progressed I started viewing more and more extreme stuff that disgusted me after I was done with my session. With some traumatic events happening in my life as well as due to stress, I started viewing porn as a refuge from my life's problems. My porn addiction and masturbation habits got worse and worse. I fell into severe depression and I wish I could say I'm ok now, but I'm not. I masturbate 2 times daily, sometimes even 3 times, every single day. The side effects are at it's worst now. Physically I am extremely weak, I have severe headaches and my eyes feel numb and hurt after a masturbation session since I do it so much. There are parts of my body that ache. My body definitely hates me for it. This addiction has also ate away at my social life, I feel like about shit, low confidence and extreme self hatred. Sometimes I even feel like crying. But no matter how many times I try to stop I keep on coming back to it whenever something bad happens in my life or I feel depressed, which I quite often. I am at a very low place right now, been here for a while. I just want to give it up and take my life back but I don't know how. This is my first day in this sub. You guys seem like a very supportive community. For anyone who's on the journey of no fap and/or have achieved their goal by winning over their addiction, please give me some advise on how you did it cause I'm feeling hopeless at this point. Thank you.
