How’s it going everyone,

I just moved states. I went from a constant stressful environment to a stress free environment. I feel like I’m somewhat relieved of the previous anxieties and stressors therefor I don’t need to watch porn to relieve myself of stress.. but although porn does cross my mind, but I haven’t acted upon it because I don’t think it’ll benefit me in anyway. I am using prescribed medication to treat depression and adhd. 

Although I am very thankful that I got myself to finally stop watching porn, but I also have not been able to get it up when my girlfriend initiates intercourse. I know I was told from my mental health care provider that being depressed, and using medication can cause a low libido but I’m wondering if there’s a way around it? 

I feel like I’m aroused when I’m looking at porn because there’s a variety of different options but at the same time.. I know damn right that watching porn is bad for our brains and mental health and it wires bad habits together.. I don’t want to watch porn ever again, I know I’m better off without it but how can I better myself while going through this rough patch in my life? 

To give any extra info or insight,

I’m 27 years of age. Going through a rough patch of depression, currently seeking help from the Veterans Affairs for counseling and disability. I used to weigh 187 two months ago prior to being prescribed 20mg lexapro but now weigh 154 due to a very low appetite.

I have a girlfriend and she always initiates sex but I think after I stopped watching porn. I haven’t been able to really get as horny as I usually would. I know I did this to myself, and I’m trying to figure out a way to fix it without going back to porn to get myself aroused.
