I have an addiction to porn and masterbation. I think it's more of a coping thing when I am feeling depressed. I have a hard time sleeping at night and most nights i end up staying up way to late then turning to porn, masterbating before falling asleep with a lot of regret. In regards to it mentally I try to hide it forget about it afterwards pretend like nothing happened but I think I need to change that start acknowledging and addressing the problem.

I guess I have some questions like is this ok to be doing while living with family? Whether they know what's going on and say nothing or whether they don't know is it still ok? I worry alot about how I affect other people and I might feel like I am the reason or cause for everybody's problems around me or that every little thing I do or don't do can or does have a negative affect on those around me. So I am worried about how my porn masterbation addiction affects those around me. And is there anything that I should be aware about?

Do I embrace the fact that I do have this addiction? Do i just accept it and try not to fight it anymore? Is it ok that I masturbate so much?
