I've been struggling with some serious issues and really need advice. I'm 29 and have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for 15 years, and I feel like it's really taking a toll on my body and mind. My short-term memory is suffering, and I often feel pain in my body. My energy levels are so low, and I just feel really exhausted all the time. On top of this, I also have schizophrenia, which makes everything even harder. I desperately want to get back to a healthier place and live a happy life. How can I start recovering from all this and take better care of myself?

I'm really worried about my partner. She struggles with anxiety and often ends up crying when she's home alone. It's tough because I'm at the office most days. She's just not in a good place right now. Any advice on what steps I should take to help her?

Question

I'm worried I might just stop breathing out of nowhere, even though there's nothing physically wrong with me. Is it possible for my body to just stop regulating my breath automatically?
