i feel like the worst. I feel like no one understands the crap I'm going through. i've been addicted to pornography, and do my best to destroy it. I feel sheer nothingness in my boring life when I abstain from that stuff. When I try to share my life story with people, they just don't want to get involved.
I am lucky to have someone in my life who has some understanding of what I’m going through with schizoaffective. I met him through AA. it really sucks that a lot of people really don’t understand, but definitely try to find some people. I’m an alcoholic/addict so I can relate in some way, I’m pretty sure there are also support groups for that, I know at least there is sex addicts anonymous. You really aren’t alone.
Honestly life is kinda boring in pandemic and porn can be one of the few fun things to do so I hope you don't have too much shame around it. This is drawing from my mindfulness practices but maybe instead of trying to "destroy it" just try to use it a little less and reward yourself with some other kind of thing you enjoy, literally anything.
Yeah people might not want to hear this kind of stuff, but i guess everybody is dealing with their own problems. Lots of friends and family in my life dont wanna hear either. Thankfully i can go to therapy, it helps a little, then i can manage it a bit better and then chat with friends and family a bit easier
