I come to the upsetting realisation that I also watch porn because I am not only alone but extremely lonely. I feel uneasy that maybe if I haven’t got a person next to me, I am undeserving of it. Obviously if it was for me it would’ve happened by now. So I would watch porn to feel better, to feel in touch with another human being. What am I supposed to do??
Yes, can you share it?
Idk if you’re Christian or not but I struggle with that feeling of loneliness and use porn to cope. Recently I read a bible plan about thriving in singleness and how being alone and away from others isn’t a bad thing and how it can be a good time focus on and deepen a relationship with God. When you feel alone tell yourself you aren’t, you have a God who cares for you and loves you and is there for you. If you want I can share the plan with you
I do have family, friends and pets. I also went on a very long walk both yesterday and today but I suddenly just feel defeated
I am getting a dog, but also take walks and get outside

Hi Angelica, I know the feeling, however don’t believe that you are alone because it’s not true, you are surrounded by people who love you, slow down, get rid of everything that overstimulates, sit down outside and look up at the sky, look at the wind blowing the trees, be still and know that Yahweh is God and that He is with you. Cast your cares on Him, tell Him how you feel, He will remind you of the truth, He will embrace you with His love. I pray you come to know that God does not desire for you to be alone, it’s the only thing that He said was not good when He made the world, so surely He won’t let you be alone, He will surround you with people who love you. We are all fighting this fight with you Angelica, we are one in Christ, we have been made Heirs with Christ, we have a delightful inheritance. Can’t wait to dine at the marriage supper of the Lamb with you and all our brothers and sisters. We will be with the Lord forever, oh what a hope! Christ in us, the hope of glory!
