God deals justly and understands that people with mental problems are mentally malfunctioning. I'm not sure how to direct you except to try to refrain from pornography, prayerfully petition God to help and believe he can provide a way.

Holy999,
Faith is not the enemy of reason, fantasy is.
All men have the M-problem, you are not unique in that regard. We can pray about it. Ask God for forgiveness, ask him for the help of the Holy Spirit, and ask him to help you see the truth in it.
What do I mean? Ask God to help you not be influenced by strong emotions, ask him to help you see yourself as he sees you. Forgive yourself. And finally, find something to do that takes your mind off of it.

@Holy999 God knows your struggles, I am also have mental illness and struggle with sin. It is not something other people understand at all. But I'm sure God loves you and will work with you and not judge you for your mental illness.

I agree with dev. Please keep in mind the things above. God is trustworthy and able to help you. Remember our Apostle's word to the Philippians.
Phillippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
I think that's exactly what God wants from us, just that we do our best.
I think the best way to avoid doing what I don't want to do is to be busy doing the things I do want to do. In time the craving/urges fade into the background, and Lord willing, no longer afflict us. We get better at dealing with them.
It's all about taking the thought captive.
When those thoughts come into your mind, forcibly think of something else, think of Jesus right there at your side to strengthen you to a pure life. Remind yourself that you do not have to do that. And you truly don't! I know the feelings are strong, I get that totally! And it feels like failure is hard-wired in, but we really can have victory.
Think of what good thing you'd like to accomplish today. Give yourself a task to complete, a chapter of the Bible to read, a room to clean, a walk outside, and teach your mind to stay focused on what you are doing.
For me that's a huge part maintaining a pure mind, is to simply live in this moment. To appreciate where I am, what I'm doing, that God is here with me. Living in the moment, staying focused on what is outside of me, and in particular the needs of others, keeps me from disappearing into fantasies. Empty things that rob us of fruitful life.
Much love!
