I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for years now, and even though I'm on medication, it's not helping much. It's really affecting my work and daily life, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Are there any newer treatments or even surgical options that could help with OCD? I'm desperate for something that actually works.

I'm feeling really stuck with this porn addiction and it's taking a big toll on my time and energy. Lately, whenever I'm alone in my room at night, I can't help but watch porn until I fall asleep, and I end up masturbating. I've tried to control it myself, but it's just not working and it's affecting my productivity. Could you please offer some advice on how to overcome this?

I'm really struggling with my zolpidem use after taking it for insomnia that started with the stress of marriage and moving. Now I can't seem to stop taking Zolfresh for almost any reason. If my husband is snoring, I take one. If I'm going to bed late, I just pop another. It's gotten to the point where I'm even using it for afternoon naps, taking 15 mg at night and 10 mg in the afternoon. I'm feeling stuck in this cycle. How can I break free from this?

I've been trying to stop watching porn and it's really hard. I've tried different things like going to the gym and playing outdoor games to keep busy, but the urge is still there. I'm looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

To overcome the urge to watch porn, consider combining your existing physical activities with additional strategies: identify triggers, practice mindfulness and meditation, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist, utilize website blockers or apps like Freedom, SelfControl, or Cold Turkey, and engage in hobbies or creative pursuits that promote emotional fulfillment and self-expression.
