I've been struggling with some serious issues and really need advice. I'm 29 and have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for 15 years, and I feel like it's really taking a toll on my body and mind. My short-term memory is suffering, and I often feel pain in my body. My energy levels are so low, and I just feel really exhausted all the time. On top of this, I also have schizophrenia, which makes everything even harder. I desperately want to get back to a healthier place and live a happy life. How can I start recovering from all this and take better care of myself?

Im dealing with depression and I'm really struggling because I'm stuck in this cycle of masturbating about 45 times a day. It makes me feel awful, and I just can't seem to stop. I'm in 12th grade, preparing for my board exams in science but my focus is shot, and I feel exhausted and sleepy all the time, which isnt helping at all at this critical stage. I know I need help, but I'm not sure how to approach my parents about it. What kind of doctor should I be reaching out to for this situation?
