Consider talking to: A therapist to help you deal with the guilt and depression. It is obviously not making you feel good and may be becoming addictive.

Talk about it: Essentially all men enjoy erotic imagery and if you feel guilty or ashamed of the excitement that it brings, talk with your physician about your feelings and also talk with some of your friends about what it's like for them. Especially, try to find a quality romantic relationship rather than this dead-end fantasy stuff. It's harder to find, but far more enriching.

Feeling guilty: Obviously you feel conflicted about pornography. If your viewing is excessive it may be an addiction. Recommend considering psychotherapy to work through this.
