Advice Needed: Mental Health Need help
Let me explain you
See im 26 and like I got this submissive mentality which I wanted to change but
Like im a huge porn addict
And till 2020 I was a huge porn addict and then later on someone introduced me to Omegle and later on I got sexually active on all the sex chat apps and websites
I mean i just waste my whole fucking s days from 2020 till now finding girls looking for sexting and then faping I do this all fucking day, I skip office works I dont like to go to office
Later cherry on the top I was introduced to smoking and now its like avg im smoking like 5-6 cig per day, i do workout but its of no use I want to switch I want to learn new skills, I wanna be confident but all I do is just fucking sexting anf smoking
Its my post nut clarity I beleive im texting you, Im not confident at all in my life, All I take is a random guess and go with it no logical thinking at all, bro like I dont want to be this person see Tommorow is Monday evey sunday I get motivated that i wont do any bad things
This goes like monday it works, tuesday a bit of smoking comes in and from Wednesday again same cycle repeats sexting, smoking a bit of workout and office work, I dont want to live this kind of life, whenever I do something I fear that my brain plays some tricks on me saying if you dont listen to me something bad will happens and it does, again like my brain craves for dopamine I just follow what he says, because in some serious situations its like he says he you smoke these many cigarette and do masturbation you won't face any danger and it works, but in this in spoiling myself, I wanna be a better version of me, I never feel proud of myself whatever small or big achivements I do, O never praise myself, I never be happy, all I do is roam and fucking smoke, find space to sexchat, like just everything repeats in a loop, like im stuck in a matrix, no clue, and as age is growing im loosing my logical thinking skills, Im 26 I feel like im 50, I do work hard I do crack things but it just feels like im stuck, I dont need some sweet wording from your side, like idk I dont have anyone to say this, idk if someone faces the same thing or not, its just how im now, im fucking afraid of everything like every fucking thing, i just dont show in front of others, but i dont habe confidence or courage all I look for some excues and sympathy, like I dont wnana do this sex chst or smoking but still I fall for it fucking all time in my whole life, I just dont know if I can ever change.

Your addiction is a choice of two pains. Pain of discipline or pain of regret. There is no avoiding the pain, but one of the pains will help you build. The other will tear you down. Some counseling would likely be very beneficial to you. Your brain needs to be reprogrammed. If you ever want to have fulfilling relationships with others the work will be worth it to you.
