I first started viewing pornography when I was 11. Shortly after I began masturbating. Some people try to tell me that's normal. I believe it to be wrong, though I can acknowledge that it is perhaps normal. What is not normal is being addicted to those and other sexual behaviors. I am an addict. The following blog is primarily a tool to aid my fight against addiction through healthy expression and accountability.

Overwhelming anxiety
So after what started as a strong and positive day, I caved. I was anxious that my significant other wasn't getting back to me. I started to feel the panic and anxiety setting in. The anxiety is something relatively new, and probably the most difficult to cope with. It lowers my functionality and makes even the smallest challenges seem like too much to handle. I went to be alone (mistake #1) and downloaded Tinder (mistake #2). I was able to refrain from going to the Internet, but did download some apps that I've used to get pornography in round about ways. When I went to the bathroom, and I was using Tinder, I fought the urge to masturbate and did so slowly on and off, though eventually I finished, then snapped back into reality. The hormones, urges, and desires ceased, but the depression didn't. That will be a battle for the next few hours.
