Porn makes me neurotic and was one of the reasons for my initial breakdown

After years of paranoid struggle, I now abstain from porn for months at a time, though have still always returned to it in the end. The neurosis of trying to control my interaction with it combined with total secrecy due to immense feelings of shame was one of the reasons for my initial breakdown, though there were many other factors. However, I still maintain it was the main one. I really don’t want to go back into struggling with it again. I’m much better off without it. Thank you.

It does a good job of relaxing me temporarily but it lowers my energy generally. Maybe it’s cos I feel shame idk.

Masturbation definitely lowers my energy. Whenever I’ve had periods of abstinence I’ve had way more energy both physically, creatively and even socially. If I’m honest I think porn being so readily available is probably not a good thing for most people. Its too easy to rely on it for stimulation and relaxation.
