Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Two years ago I almost killed my self but the only reason I didn't was because of the friends that I had at the time. After that I started watching porn to cover the pain I was in all the time. I stopped after a while but about six months ago I started again. I've tried so hard to stop. On my own but I know I can't and I can't tell my parents because they would only judge me and tell me I'm being over dramatic. I'm scared of who I'll become and honestly if life is going to just be this he'll I don't see a point in living.
Some will consider you to mean you're masturbating ten times a day. They are the ones who will tell you to get help. Others will consider you to mean you masturbate once a day. They are the ones who will say you're fine.
So you have to take the advice you're given with the understanding that you gave out precious little information to start with, and most of what is coming back at you is based on guesswork.
As to this analysis of why you masturbate, again its guesswork as I don't feel I have much information, but I do suspect that's bosh. It sounds too pat to me.
If you're down, that's got nowt to do with the rate at which you produce and need to get rid of sperm. In fact, it usually reduces it if anything. But emotions and sexuality do grow at the same time in a person's adolescence. So you could be forgiven for thinking one has causation over the other.
If you are having tough times and feeling emotional pain, let's just talk about the pain and see what it actually consists of. It might be an easy fix. Then you can address the porn/masturbation as a separate issue. If it is even an issue. Talk to the GP if you're worried about it, they'll tell you what a normal human physiology will function like, from one end of the spectrum to the other.
I'm so glad that you posted. I love that you recognized an unhealthy path and reached out for support. That shows so much health and growth. Have you reached out to the friends that helped you last time or maybe a pastor or counselor? When I feel overwhelmed by my life situations, I turn to prayer and I find hope. Have you tried praying? I'm praying for you! God bless you.
