Hi
Psychologist Response:
First, I want to say — you are not alone, and you’re incredibly brave for sharing this. Balancing studies, family business, and your personal battles is no small task, and the fact that you’re aware of the issue and seeking change is a big first step. Masturbation is a normal human behavior, but when it becomes compulsive and tied to sleep or emotional regulation, it starts to affect your mental health and confidence. What you’re describing sounds like a psychological dependency — using it as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or even exhaustion. The lack of control you’re feeling isn’t a character flaw; it’s a signal that your mind is craving healthy alternatives to deal with overload.
We can work through this using CBT techniques — like urge surfing, delayed response, grounding techniques, and understanding the emotional trigger behind the urge. You’ll also benefit from restructuring your sleep hygiene and learning body fatigue awareness — to help you sleep without the cycle you’ve built. I can guide you step by step through this. It’s treatable. You don’t have to carry this silently or alone.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
