I've been dealing with some anxiety issues and I've noticed a habit of mine that's been concerning me. I tend to shake both my legs when I'm sitting cross-legged, and I can't help but wonder if it's causing me harm. After I'm done with the shaking, I sometimes start to sweat and feel pretty tired. Should I be worried about how this might be affecting my heart or maybe my overall health?

I've been dealing with an addiction to masturbation, and it's gotten to the point where I can't go a day without doing it, usually once or twice. No matter where I am, I get these strong urges at night and find it really hard to control myself. Even if I manage to stop for just one day, by the next, I'm itching to do it again. I'm really looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. What steps can I take to break this cycle?
It's important to recognize that you're not alone in facing this challenge. I recommend finding healthy distractions, like engaging in hobbies, exercise, or relaxation techniques. If the urge is strong, try delaying it for a few minutes each time to gradually reduce dependency. If needed, seeking professional counseling can help address any underlying emotional or psychological factors.
