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?

I'm wondering, could you let me know how many sleeping pills would lead to a painless death? Are they actually effective for that or would they cause pain instead? I really need to know.

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?
