Recently got addicted to porn

I think it was a desperate for dopamine situation. I’m a single mum running two businesses, burnt out, touch starved, lonely, absolutely overwhelmed with life to the point of complete shutdown.

And someone on reddit (different account) DMd me offering to pay me to dirty talk. And I did it. And I got a bit addicted to it. And then other people were dming me too and I went down a rabbit hole.

And when they weren’t messaging me I was looking up actual porn to watch just to feel something.

And it all got out of hand. It was controlling me so I deleted that account and forced myself to go outside. And now I’m thinking how do I function properly? My brain wants easy dopamine I think.

I only went down that weird rabbit hole for like 7 days so I don’t think I’m a real addict. Just hopeless to the point of feeling like I didn’t know how I could go on.

My brain must be out of whack. How long is a dopamine detox and am I alone here? Has anyone else experienced this?
