I haven't done therapy on this but this book helped me quite a bit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C4BA4I6/ref=ya_aw_dod_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I want to recommend you 2 books which I beg you to read. They have helped me a lot:
They might not seem they are adressing your issues, but I promise, if you go through them you will heal yourself to a point where you at least will not be so hard on yourself and not contemplating suicide anymore.
Porn is not your issue, your issue is a the thing you are treating with porn. And shame is never the answer. Never. Don't punish yourself for your thoughts. Thoughts are automatic processes we cannot control. Think of them like an involuntary fart. How ridiculous would be to punish yourself everytime you have one? ;)
So care for yourself, be your best friend, treat yourself like you would treat a wounded son you love. One day a time. And trust me you will discover a self love so strong you'd be amazed :)
If you need more help just write a PM. I can be a support when you need one. Cheers!
You really aren't reading very carefully or closely. I said, multiple times, that addicts do not emotionally mature. That has nothing to do with cognitive function, physical function, relational dynamics, economical systems, or spiritual mechanics. I said EMOTIONAL MATURITY because I was specifically talking about emotional maturity.
Then you have a private conversation where you body shame some people and laugh about it like 14 year olds. And then get defensive about being called out about it, like 14 year olds, and then get more upset about me saying that you as a general group ie the entire world of addicts does not emotionally mature past about the age of 14, you wave your hand and say "whatever" to peer-reviewed material that backs up my assertion, just like a petulant 14 yr old would, your side bar is "an inside joke" again like a barely teen ager, and you want to argue that I'm wrong? Really? I mean I don't even have to go into what I know professionally to prove my point. We don't have to leave reddit to prove it.
I don't know anything about your sub, my impression is you are proud addicts. Like you are all very proud that you have a crippling addiction and doing nothing to combat it I guess. I don't know. Don't really care outside of general human empathy. What makes you happy is your business as long as you aren't hurting anyone else. Unfortunately addiction destroys children and spouses. So here's hoping that's been avoided. But whatever.
I'm concerned with the guys in this sub here. Not you ladies over there. You body shamed and then turned it into sport. These guys got hurt and angry. I was pointing out that you guys weren't doing it to be purposefully mean, it's more the thoughtless and heartless immaturity of the 14 year old that allows them to make jokes at the expense of others and then get angry when that gets called to their attention. (Just like you are doing here). I think these guys should just ignore your cruel jokes and let it go. Because it doesn't matter. And that's all I'm trying to do.
But it seems like you want to bully me. Again, like a 14 year old would do. Like somehow you are going to "win" because you are just so awesome or something. Look lady, I don't know you or who you are. I know one objective fact about you that allows me to draw conclusions, you are an active addict. I hope you are getting help for that. Once you are clean you can start the process of emotional maturation that was stunted when you started your addictive coping strategy. I recommend this book for the process. Anyway, you aren't going to win, you've already lost. You lost before you started this. Hell, your sidebar lost the fight for you. So let it go. I don't even know why or how your stuff was linked over to this sub anyway. It was a disservice to both subs for your private conversation to be posted over here.
And, FWIW, I'm female, and my genitals work just fine. And I kind of feel like these guys are like my family sort of. So I'm protective of them. Even the assholes I guess. There is a lot of pain and misery here. They don't need women making fun of them. They just don't.
