My brain is over-sexualized
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
What you’re going through is something a lot of people struggle with, especially when dealing with loneliness, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. It sounds like you’ve been running on empty for a long time pushing yourself to build a career, constantly moving, and not having a stable support system. That kind of lifestyle can take a toll on anyone, and it makes sense that you turned to something that provides temporary relief or distraction.
