Masturbation as an escape

...See more I'm a married, name, 31 years old. I'm healthy, exercise, have a good career, worth some personal/ family/ marriage issues. For 2 years now I had been burnt out, and this manifested into a masturbation and porn addiction. I take control for weeks and weeks, but somesyas, I completely dissociate and relapse really hard, especially after my wife (who suffers from emotional disregulation) fight and especially when the fights get a bit intense. I am tired of this, i tried many things but always come back to this pattern even tho we have a healthy sex life.

My brain is over-sexualized

...See more Hi everyone. This is kinda hard for me to talk about but I need to vent and I hope to find a like-minded person to listen, or ideally someone to guide me through this. I'm a 30 year old male, I've been independent and self reliant most of my life, never had a real "best friend" and I consider my self a nomad. I've lived in many different countries and this caused me to not be able to form lasting relationships and friendships. These past 2 years I made a big career change and moved again to a new country. I've worked so hard and had barely any spare time for self care or hobbies and eventually I suffered from overburn. I was diagnosed and was given 3 months sabbatical from my work but that eventually led to me quitting and starting my own business is which burned me even more. Anyways, being lonely and isolated has pushed me to porn and masturbation addiction, and it's been a slippery Slope for a couple of years now. I start and end my day with porn, and my brain is too sexualizd now to the point where I get sexually triggered by nearly anything. I'm helpless and can't stop, I really hope to find someone to listen or guide me through this, I'm a shamed to talk to a therapist about this and I hope doing it anonymously online will be easier... Thanks for reading, and I appreciate anyone reaching g out! Just DM me, I'm here

Addicted to weed and porn

...See more My life has been a mess for the past 3 years or so. I have family issues, career change, and I moved to a new town because of work. In this new place, I have no friends and I'm having an extremely difficult time meeting new friends which leads me to spending way too much time alone getting high and watching porn.. I've become addicted to it and it has become almost compulsive. I need some friends or people to talk about because if I don't distract myself then the urges become too strong! Is there anyone here that wants to be friends or just chat about random things? Please message me!
