Don't listen to this loser, OP. Depression is a result of a lack of self discipline. Psychiatry will just try to dope you up until your body cannot naturally produce serotonin anymore, they don't give one shit about your well being.

In the short run, there are apps that you can self block porn sites with. Look into those. In the long run, you'll need to develop your skills of discipline (yes, discipline is a skill, and is not inherit, so don't expect it to be simple at first).

Watching porn and masturbation is literally a form of self harm. It fucks your brain chemistry.

Books in therapy then, anon. I did that, it works a bit depending on how organized you are capable of being and if you find a way of holding yourself accountable it can probably bear decent fruits. I recommend an intro book to psychology, followed by a book on CBT. Beck's "Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Basics and Beyond" is a good starter, and it didn't seemed that complicated to me.

You've been demoralized to the point that you've convinced yourself you're homosexual as a coping mechanism. It's the same phenomena when low test beta men become transsexuals in an effort to "become" the woman they will never be able to achieve as a male. On some level you know this.

Yes. Be a good husband to your wife, and a competent father to your children.You'll forget all about the sexual degradation that has been drilled into your mind from pornography (or in many cases abuse).

Yes, you are not a "patient" when you see a therapist, you are a "client". Therapist have no legal recognition as a medical professional. Therapy is a scam to separate you from your money by getting you to talk about your feelings for $90/hr, and psychiatry is a scam to pacify and dull the masses with drugs that alter your brain chemistry.

Therapy isn't a "scam" any more that prostitution is a scam. A therapist is a basically a listening hooker. They listen to you bitch about shit and then when you're done you cut a check and leave with no social consequences.

I've known therapists, and I know people who go to therapists. I also know the statistical data on the percentage of people who move from therapy to psychiatry, and formed my opinion justly. An opinion can be formed on the practice of therapy without visiting a therapist.
