1. I found myself watching something so humiliating and gross that I realized that what I initially thought was just a pleasurable vice was actually something darker and it had gone too far. 2.

1. numbness, depression, anxiety, being cynical walking zombie 2. more energy, less depression & anxiety, new real life social connections, normal sex life & deep relationship
