I cant do this

I really cant do this, every time I try I just end up failing. The journey is hard and long, trying to use pornography and all these things to try and make me feel complete has ruined me. I cant do this, I just see a bad future for myself. One in which I will hate myself and never accomplish my goals.

I'm not strong like most of the people here, I'm weak, I easily feel like a failure and it doesn't matter, the porn and interent addiction took it's toll, I'm never going to be free

@indigoHouse922 there is an alternative to being strong. It’s being willing to be kind to yourself. Being willing to find other ways. You’re worth it. You don’t have to believe it, you just have to be willing to believe it. Our mind wants to tell us all kinds of things when we are depressed. There are tools we can use to keep from getting caught in the things our mind tells us that keep us depressed. 


Here is the thing. No one is infallible. Despite our best intentions we can and often do fail. True strength is acknowledging that and finding better ways. Blaming yourself doesn’t help you in the present and won’t help you in the future.
