The Day I Let Go of Survival Mode
I used to think something was wrong with me. I wasn’t crying, but I felt hollow. I wasn’t falling apart, but I was constantly tired—tired in my bones, in my soul. It was more than physical exhaustion. It was a kind of weariness that sleep couldn’t fix and silence couldn’t soothe.

This acknowledges a clinical reality: for many, pornography use evolves into a compulsive behavior with devastating consequences.

And the smallest tasks—like answering a phone call or stepping into a crowded room—felt like mountains I wasn’t strong enough to climb. I didn’t recognize myself anymore. My smile had become a performance, my peace a distant memory.
