I'm really struggling with the effects of masturbation on my mental and physical health. It leaves me feeling guilty, depressed, and like I'm losing my self-confidence. I'm also experiencing memory loss, trouble making decisions, and both back and neck pain. My heart even races, I feel lazy afterward, and I'm noticing some discharge during sexual feelings. Sometimes I end up discharging really quickly, like within 10 seconds while watching porn. I just want to understand if there's an effective treatment or advice that could help because it's starting to impact my life and career. Could you give me some guidance on this?

It seems that your symptoms are related to emotional and physical stress triggered by excessive masturbation and porn use. Reducing or eliminating these habits, focusing on self-care, practicing mindfulness, and seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor can help improve both mental and physical health. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can also support recovery.
