Addiction

Since i was 16 yo I am a girl addicted to food and porn i have that feeling that i must do it even i am angry or feeling unwell then guilt and regret.. i dont like porn but i am disconnected with my own self

I am alone even between my family i dont have that connection with anything or anyone

I just wanted to share that with unkown ppl

Since i got known to porn my life got upside down

I am not good anymore i am even not here even i am not doing it daily but i am depending on it when waves of sadness attacks me i wish i could share that with a real human but i am really ashamed of myself ppl see me in another img

I didnt draw it but i am really ashamed of myself

I hate myself and disconnected with myself / family and god.

If there is any support group i want to join

Hi Placid Jet, hopefully you can find some support here. Addiction to food and addiction to porn are both difficult issues but kind of different and need to be addressed differently. 

Here is a training that we have on eating disorders:

I'm not sure if you have one, but if you say youre addicted to food, then maybe this can be helpful.

As for porn, I'm not sure we have any training directly related to that, but it usually stems from the desire for sexual fulfillment or the desire to connect with people. If you strengthen your friendships, that can often help with that, and if you have a sexual partner, working on having a healthy and active relationship with them can also help. If you don't have a partner, then just having a healthy relationship with your body is a good first step.

It's complicated, but it's not the end of the world. Good luck and I'm sure you will find the support that you need eventually. There are many good listeners here. Hopefully you can find one that works well with you.

No shame.  Be proud you admitted you want help.  We all deal with issues some similar.  I deal with both of these issues myself.  Best thing we can do is talk it out and find healthy things for us to do instead.

Addiction

I've struggled with a porn addiction myself, so hard to overcome. I still sometimes get thoughts to watch it again for the dopamine but yet found another terrible addiction to cope with it.

I've used ***, ***, *** etc to portray another identity that isn't myself to talk to people older than me (18-26 year olds) and it became this addiction where id romantically chat to them etc etc and when id get bored id find another to chat to. They were all around the U.S and U.K so never had to deal with them irl. 
I would send them photos, video call, voice call, etc everyday all day and it was like this thing where i got what i wanted which was attention. But obviously it all turned bad and now i cant stop. Ive got rid of every social media but yet i go crazy because i cant chat with these men who dont even know my real age, name or anything like that. And they probably dont even care about me but ived grown a connection and made it seem like they r all i need.
