I'm really curious about something that's been on my mind lately. I've had this habit of eating slate pencils or cardboard paper since I was younger. I'm 30 now and just had a baby, but recently, I've been having strong cravings for slate pencils again. Could you shed some light on why this might be happening and if there's anything I should be concerned about?

As you have given up on having slate Manu years ago , you should not be concerned much about it.Adequate water consumption,healthy diet , positive thoughts,daily physical activities will definitely help you.unlikely to affect your body systems after so many years.If at all your thoughts still bothering you ,get some blood investigation that includes CBC , renal function tests , thyroid function tests , electrolytes , calcium and phosphate levels, glucose level,liver function tests and urine analysis plus an ultrasound scan of the abdomen.

View allI've been dealing with masturbating a lot since I was 11, and I mean like 5-6 times a day even now that Im 20. It's starting to mess with my life. I'm having trouble sleeping, waking up super early, and I get these body aches, shivers, and sudden head and neck pains. I'm always in a low mood and feel really irritable, and it's been affecting my memory these past six months. I just don't feel like doing anything anymore or have the mood for anything. What should I do?

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating since I was 18. I usually do it at least once a day, sometimes twice, and I've stayed healthy so far. But I'm starting to worry it might start affecting my life negatively, since I'm having trouble concentrating on other things. Is too much masturbation bad for me? And if so, how do I stop?
Excessive masturbation, defined as interfering with daily life, relationships, or work, can negatively impact mental and emotional well-being, despite physical health remaining unaffected; to stop or reduce masturbation frequency, consider these strategies: set realistic goals, identify triggers, practice self-care, engage in physical activity, seek professional help from a therapist or counselor, and consider mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, to manage stress and urges.
