First two paragraphs - amazing. Gives me hope for future generations!

Last paragraph - what? Why would I want to stifle this?

I'm 29 and struggle with attention, procrastination, brain fog, and depression. I have since I was 12. It's only lately that I'm realizing that it's almost certainly connected to my usage of internet forums/stimulation (SA, 4chan, Gamefaqs, stumbleupon, etc.) which started right around that same time.

There's something wrong with me and there really are no other explanations than my compulsive internet usage.

I’m no internet psychologist, but the underlying issue is probably what drove you to those sites in the first place. Does your therapist agree with you?
Because kids are sometimes capable of getting themselves in more trouble than they realize, and this can have long-term consequences beyond childhood.
