I've been struggling with a masturbation addiction, and it's really taken a toll on my life. I find it so hard to resist the urge. Can you give me some advice on how to manually stop this habit and keep myself away from it?

It's important to understand that overcoming this habit requires patience and self-compassion. Try setting clear goals, staying busy with hobbies, and practicing mindfulness techniques. If it feels overwhelming, seeking support from a therapist can also help you address underlying triggers and build healthier coping strategies.

I've been thinking a lot about rabies and how it works. I read that rabies has a long incubation period and that you're generally safe as long as you get vaccinated before showing any symptoms. Is it true that as long as you get vaccinated before the virus reaches the brain, you're okay? Here's what's on my mind: in 2001-2002, I got a minor dog bite, but I didn't get a vaccine back then. Years later, around 2008, I started worrying and ended up getting vaccinated, like 17 shots between 2008-2012. But I can't shake off the fear from that dog bite years ago. It just won't leave my mind, and I'm scared I might develop rabies in the future. Is that a possibility? What should I do to protect myself? If there's no risk, I really need reassurance because living with this fear is tough. Can you help me figure this out?

Anti rabies vaccination is given at 0,3,7,14 days interval.The wound is cleaned thoroughly with soap water and povidine iodine .

I'm really worried because my friend gave me a tablet of duralast 30 mg without telling me what it was for, saying it would help with my headache. I took it, but now I'm feeling really horny and anxious about any other side effects I might experience. Can you please help me understand what to expect? I'm kind of scared.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but taking Duralast (which contains dapoxetine) may cause some mild side effects like increased arousal, dizziness, or nausea. It's important to stay calm, and if you feel unwell or experience unusual symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. You should avoid taking any more of this medication without consulting a healthcare professional.
