I'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?
