I'm really struggling with masturbation, it's become a daily thing. I'm doing it once every day and I just can't seem to control it. I've watched different videos for help, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice on how to manage or reduce this habit?

I'm in college and really stressed because I have a paper due tomorrow. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and it's hard to focus, but I know I need to finish it. I've been thinking about taking my Atarax and combining it with caffeine, like maybe 3 shots of espresso. Is that safe?
