Wow. The depressive thoughts after just a couple days off porn are rough
I'm only on day 6 of my current streak. I find it so hard to really concentrate because the depressive thoughts are getting a bit annoying. Porn masks a lot of my feelings and negative emotions I guess. For context, I'm a guy in his mid 20s who has not been in many relationships, but has been exposed to porn for much of my life, so I feel porn was my 'escape' from the reality which is: I'm lonely af. I don't know if anyone else gets the same way, but when I abstain from porn for long periods, the urges just make me so depressed and remind me of how single I am lol.
