So I'm having a minor melt down, maybe this is part of a minor catharsis?
I went out to a friends tonight to make dinner and catch up and while there I started getting anxiety.
-Anxiety about being in a reboot, she made an off hand conversation about masturbation, nothing overtly sexual just talking about an ex boyfriend, and in the back of my head i was thinking that I don't masturbate, that I'm abstaining to heal from a PMO addiction, something that's so far out of the norm day to day talk of society. If I told her that, I'd imagine she'd be like WTF.
-Anxiety because I have gotten so far off track, that a night out with friends is part of 'recovery' not just hanging out. It's part of relearning how to be part of the group.
-Anxiety because it is difficult for me to socialize sometimes and I'm 27 years old, I feel so far behind.
-Anxiety because it all made me feel crazy, this whole situation, how far out things have gotten.
-Anxiety because I feel like I've been acting and trying so hard to hold it all together for so long, and finally I'm seeing that I can't do it.
It's all just hitting me, the more I get away from porn, the more I see how bad things really were, and they were fucking bad. Maybe this is part of coming back to reality.
Ugh, I needed to vent and I'd be very grateful for a dialog.
