I'm really anxious right now... I attempted suicide last night, but it didn't work, and now I'm feeling even more depressed. It's mostly because of this sexual issue I'm dealing with, you know, erectile dysfunction. I've never told my parents about this, and I really can't imagine leaving them alone. What should I do?

View allIs there any medication or surgical option that can temporarily reduce or stop sexual thoughts I'm feeling really overwhelmed by them lately and need some relief
While medication and surgery can sometimes help manage unwanted sexual thoughts or urges, they are generally not the first line of treatment and may not be suitable for everyone. Medications like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and anti-androgens may be considered, but they often have side effects and are not a quick fix. Surgery, such as deep brain stimulation, is more invasive and carries risks. It's crucial to discuss these options with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

Can someone with COVID who can't sleep at night safely masturbate? Is it harmful or beneficial?
yes
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
