You spend so many years doing things for other people that when the time comes to be free from that, can you actually do for yourself. Do we know how to do anything for ourselves. If we did then why are we all here. Yet we are here so that’s doing something. I guess it’s normal to feel that way. If your walking down the wrong road you just go the other way. But you have to go all the way back to take the other fork in the road. By that time do you have anything left in the tank. What happens if you don’t make it. I suppose that since we walked that road once already, the worst that could happen is ending back up where you originally started. Maybe that’s not so bad since I’m here now and I’m still standing. If that makes any sense

It does. I personally believe that we don't have to back to the fork in the road. We just have to cut straight over to the other path. Venture into the unknown and take the chance. Because by going down the road we know we continue on the same path. Change is about challenging what we know and what we are comfortable with. It might not be the easiest path but the light at the ends of the road is so much brighter

Hope you are doing better. I noticed that you mentioned a psychologist and psychiatrist a while back. Have you met with any?

No I haven’t met with any one, but it’s ok. I shouldn’t be so negative all the time. It’s like I’m coming to terms with everything and realize that it’s always going to be there. It’s how I deal with it that’s important. There’s people that have it way worse than I do. I realize that problem is a problem. Stress from a bad day is still stress. If your behind on you bills or have a health issue it’s still stress. If that makes any sense

I agree - it's how we deal with things that's important. I find talking with people in person to be very helpful, and I think that this site is helpful along those lines, too.

    So hello. I'm just a teenager but I've been struggling with porn for almost 6 years and I'm too shy to talk to anyone about it. Some help might really be welcome cause I've tried to quit on my own but I end up relapsing all the time. I'm so tired of this and I want to stop
