Addiction to porn
I am addicted to porn & I'm masterbate almost daily. It is badly affecting my mind & I think it'll be hampering my relationship with female friends & colleagues. I don't know I'm sane or not but I want to get out of this situation so that I could lead a healthy life ahead. I'm unsure about this but this problem may have increased after my breakup & I think that I'm not actually over it. I'd also like you to know that it had affected my education very badly & it affected my emotional balance & now I don't know what to do. I'm losing time as I writing this note, precious time which can be spent on my career.

Hello sorry for the delayed response. I think you might be going through a tough time. Watching porn and masturbation is normal to some extent at this period of time.When it starts effecting your daily activities and the studies that is when you need to take help.
Guilt associated with masturbation have to be normalised.
We will also have to look into any drinking or smoking habits if present.
Or is it the urge to watch or masturbate whixh is making you do.
Break up with girlfriend , setbacks in the career and loss of interest in other activities seem to be complicating the situation
There might be underlying depression
There are various possibilities for you suffering from this kind of problem.We need to look into it in more detail and trat accordingly.
Next Steps
kindly consult a psychiatrist at the earliest
