Hi.

I am a woman in my mid-20s and, for the past few years, have been addicted to sharing explicit photos of myself online. I thought I had anonymized the pics so I couldn't be tracked, but I was evidently wrong about that, and now my job is at risk.

I work in the field of opioid addiction prevention and pain management. The irony is I have a completely different kind of addiction, and I am struggling to control it. I'm majorly addicted to the danger and the thrill of it all, but now that may come back to bite me.

If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I'd be grateful to hear it. If not, thanks for this opportunity to share.

Best,

B

Hello baibar: I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time with this. I don't know if there is much I can offer in the way of advice. (Perhaps other MSF members will have thoughts or advice they can share.) But I noticed this is your first post here on MSF. So I thought I would at least welcome you to the forums. I hope you find being here to be of benefit.

I dunno...is it an addiction to share explicit pics of yourself online? Sounds like it could just be something you like to do.
