Hey Smith34343,

Welcome to the Forums, and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It can feel really isolating at times, but please know you’re not alone. Reaching out for support is such a brave step.

Our wonderful community members may be able to relate and share some of the strategies that have helped them. We’re confident they’ll see your post and offer their perspectives soon. In the meantime, here are a couple of resources you might find helpful:

• Kids Helpline pages on the impacts of porn and asking for help
• Beyond Blue counsellors are available anytime on 1300 22 4636 or via online chat
• Some other threads on the Forums regarding pornography and pornography addiction that might be interesting to read through

As daunting as it might feel right now, even chatting to your GP about next steps, such as what support options are available, might be worthwhile. You deserve support, it is a lot to carry on your own.

Thank you again for opening up here. We’re here to support you as you navigate this and remind you that you are not alone.

Kind regards,
Sophie M

Hi guest, 

My name is key. 

I am 24 female, I can understand if talking a female about this problem might be embarrassing however, if you would like I can offer you advice?

hi 

try finding a group of friends (i know it can be hard to talk about but try) and hold each other accountable be really open if your ever feeling like going back to it call one of those friends talk to them instead

hope that helps
