I feel so completely broken, this is quite lengthy so beware...

So, as you all know, I've had my ups and downs on here, and this year has been especially hellacious for me when it comes to my emotions and my anxiety. I'm going to be very open and upfront/honest about my deepest, darkest inner demons. This is very very difficult for me to even confess this, but, it's better that I get this out in the open, first and foremost, I have Asperger's, I've had it for the majority of my life, and while I have overcome much of it, it still remains. This makes certain social cues hellishly difficult and I wanted to apologize for the misunderstandings that this has caused people on this site, but alongside that, I also suffer from anxiety, which also isn't very fun to deal with, but these are only but two of the facets that account for my recent behavioral issues. See, I have some serious issues with addictions, or rather, addictive behaviors that I'm not exactly proud of, things that are proving to be extremely difficult for me to overcome, something I cannot overcome on my own. These addictive behaviors have gained control over me, to the point of disrupting my sleep and even going so far as to prevent me from properly holding down a job. Yes, it's that bad, and I have confessed these to family, who I trust with my life, and they were very understanding and open right back, especially my brother, who himself has had serious addictions that he's overcoming. I finally see the true hell that is addiction, the horrible things it does to body and mind, how it enslaves and gives one a false sense of security. It's been a problem for far longer than it should have been, but, I have concluded that this has been the root cause of pretty much, if not all my problems, especially as of late, and I'm not ashamed that I admit I need help. But the thing that worries me the most, is that people who know me in here, and outside of the Temp, very well could think less of me than they already do, given that I'm pouring out my heart right now about my issues. I can only hope that people are understand me and don't shun me for these problems that so haunt me and cause me to feel such anguish and anxiety. I won't go into too much detail about the addictions, but let's just say it's not the kind of material I can just post on here, it's explicit material and I'm not proud of admitting that. I'm a mess, I need help, and I'm sorry that I'm posting this on here, but, you all have a right to know why I've been such a pain in the ass to so many people, and for what it's worth, I can't be sorry enough. This is a very serious blog, something I need to get off my chest. I hate this feeling, I hate not having control over these urges to look up explicit material, addiction is hell, a literal enslavement of body and mind. I want the old me back, I want to be happy. It does't help that I am grossly overweight, doing a number on my self esteem and self-image and so on, but sadly, I lack even the motivation to get into shape. So yes, I am broken, and I am currently speaking with a trusted friend who is an LCSW, so I'll be starting the path to recovery once and for all. I just wanted to vent, and to let you know what was going on, thank you for taking the time to hear this, as I'm writing this, I am on the verge of crying my eyes out, I want to figure out what the hell is wrong with me.

If you eat bad you're gonna feel bad, they go hand in hand.. even if eating bad feels good at the time it doesn't in the long run
 
These comments, wow, I... don't know what to say, it's been so awesome to see so much support. Oh man, I'm tearing up as I write this, i'm so sorry if I ever hurt anyone on here recently, in the past, I just want to fix myself. And I'm the only one who can actually do something to change, being more physically and mentally fit. :cry:

Thank you all who have posted so far..

Sorry to hear it man. Recovery from addiction is very very rough. I wish you good luck.

if there are any sites you don't want to go on, maybe have them blocked on your router and give someone else the admin password.

@x65943 It's an odd beast, and I think it's more of an extremely unhealthy obsession, but also underlying anxiety and image issues, and I have to take care of this, but exercise is something I know can start to at least help mitigate these feelings. But for what it's worth, I want to apologize for my behavior recently.

Kick the Bastard off the throne in your head and tell him I said hi then take your rightful place your in control , only you can fight it and fight it you will The filth on the net is a curse like I mention somewhere in a post I made "everyone has their weakness" and I respect you for admitting and sharing with everyone but most importantly you have admitted to yourself so get angry and I hope you watch the link I posted get yourself a MMA Bag if you can I can tell you somethings to help you in your fight docs and drugs dont help but to be fair I use Beta Blockers cause I can get too excited and become violent at the same time violently sick and just want to die damn acid bad eating habits so I also have to take Laproseol.

Im not kidding I walk streets and growl and when im in a local park no one around during the night a good Primal Scream and crying helps release the emotional stress. But like I said im on my way back into the game and intend to be better than ever and you can too JESUS is real buddy but it up to you , dont forget too much of a certain something will also dehydrate you so plenty fluids and sleep God Bless.

I used to be an addicted like you, then I took an arrow "marriage" in the knee.
Yes, addiction to porn is something normal during the teenage years, everyone is doing it, there is no shame about it, that addiction should go slowly with time, and marriage will kill it, because you won't have time to watch because you always have your partner with you.
Believe me I tried many things, exercising, deleting all those movies from the HDD, hang out with friends, girlfriends, join clubs, watching horror movies every night, and they all stopped this addiction temporarily.
With time I start to get bored from watching and now I'm 34 married with 2 kids and hardly have the time to be alone anymore.
So the key to stop is trying you best not to be alone in your room, get a partner, start up a family who will keep you busy, a wife can kill anything in you including you addiction, jk.
For a temporary solution, watch "the serberian film" believe me you won't be touching any porn for weeks.
And remember, there is no shame on that, just cheer up and be happy, and most important don't be lonely.

Did you go to grade school growing up? There was a simple rule that I followed where we keep our hands to ourselves. I would tell myself, look don't touch.

Number 1 rule Dont Touch even if u decide to watch and try to abstain for at least a week wait till weekend save it for weekends. Gradually cut down I know how much it can sap you snd withdrawal symptoms and f***up Dreams.

Think carefully what your actually doing and for what it really is the whole process skin blood skeleton sinue tissue pretty disgusting right at same time we all made up like that not the fantasy.

Your more than that shit it a trap to turn everyone into pathetic mindless animals I have seen it all except pedo filth and it all the same stars lol they not f***ing stars they shit think how it makes us for indulging in it Your stronger than you know remember Controlled Bursts save for weekend.

at least being asperger isn't as much a problem when you start accepting it, and dig into what it means... i've got it, and it was hell when at school, but from the point on i accepted it as part of being me, it stopped being so irritating... try to do fun things for yourself or small friend groups, i mean not with all fam. or 10 friends to the movie, ga with 3 persons...
as for the emotional problems that can't ever be fixed, yes you might not ever fully understand the emotions of yourself.
you can learn to see most emotions of those around you by trying to learn them like you learned language of written text, storing seen emotions as much as possible in your logic part of your brain.
when reflecting those emotions to someone special, you might find actual answers that work for your own.
it's a hard road i know...
there are some special skills you have when you've got asperger, it might help you when it comes to buisiness and logic puzzles.
being different doesn't have to be a problem, it just means you've got to figure out what you are, how you can use what you are... all else will come in time.
the same way you get an addiction you can conquer one, if you name the source of the problem you can set new rules for it, don't focus too much on what's getting you down, it will not help you...
focus on the point that it gets different, that point is the only point you need to redirect.
for me it's a bit stable since my wife seems to understand... sometimes a bit hard to see that she's strugglin'the same way as i do...i'm pretty sure she also has it, just it's not 100% the same.

hope it helps, you've done a lot here, so... hope you see that you're okay in my book, best of luck with your own demons, i understand...

Hey man. You probably already knew this, but I am in a very similar boat as far as aspergers, anxiety, and addictions. Life is hell and it takes it's toll on you.
I'm not exactly sure what your addictions are, and I only read your initial post not all the other comments, but I understand what the feeling is like.

Strangely, I can turn off my addictions and walk away from them. I may been an absolute asshole for a good 2 or 3 days, but that is part of me that I can do as long as I don't have everyone else doing it around me.

Self loathing doesn't help, it only makes us feel worse. But it is tough to climb out of that hole. It is almost like that having a fresh new start away from everyone and everything that you previously knew could give you that clean break (I say 'you', but you know I don't mean exactly YOU in particular). At least that is the way I feel about things.

Boredom really get a hold of you too. As what any therapist will say, find something positive to occupy your time whether it be a new hobby, working out, or taking out the people who have wronged you one by one. :D

I am here for you. I am sure you know that the majority of this site is here for you. And if you feel that your behavior has been outrageous, well I haven't noticed anything too odd. You might also be just being too critical of yourself.

The best advice I can give you is to not take medications as they generally cause more problems than they fix. Find a good positive influence in your life that you can spend a lot of time with. Sometimes just having a good friend around can help pick you back up and get your sights back focused on what is most important.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like... but you should already know that you can anyways.
