Psychological Counselling

23M with Pure O OCD and childhood trauma. I previously maintained a 1181-day NoFap streak, but I now realize abstinence became tied to OCD, purity, and self-worth. Since the streak ended, I've had 6 relapses this year. My main issue is the shame cycle: Stress/uncertainty → compulsive sexual behavior → intense guilt/shame → isolation and self-punishment. After relapses, I feel "impure" and undeserving of things I value like dance, music, exercise, and social connection. I also feel a strong urge to confess relapses to others to reduce guilt. How can I: Separate self-worth from abstinence streaks? Stop reassurance-seeking/confessing compulsions? Tolerate guilt and shame without self-punishment? Would ERP be appropriate for this pattern?

I am 28 bisexual male, active in Hoonups with boys but never been with any girl yet,  Earlier I used to do a lot of hookups with boys but that tendency has been reduced due to my fear and HSV... Moreover I also think that I am not able to achieve that perfect male definition and because of this hookup and searching to boys, I may never be a perfect man like others mostly are...also when I see different happy couples I feel sense of incompleteness as why I can't be one of them. Why did I not have any girl partner in my life and why I couldn't have that happy life. I am always sad. I don't do anything that makes me happy ....and this behavior has led me to become irritated most of times ...I cut off relationship with everyone in this anger . this is becoming my insecurity day by day & tempering my mental health by thinking about these things help me is this normal thinking or what is this

I am a 26 year-old male. For the past 4–5 years, I have been experiencing a persistent lack of motivation and interest in almost everything. I often feel that I don’t have the energy or desire to study, work, or practice skills, even though I want to build a career. I constantly worry about my future and career, feel confused about what to do, and find it very difficult to stay consistent with any goal. These problems have been affecting my daily life and productivity for several years. I have also experienced thoughts that life has no meaning and occasional thoughts of harming myself, although I am seeking help and want to get better. Could this be due to depression, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, or another mental health condition? What type of specialist should I consult, and what evaluation or treatment would you recommend?

Hello doctor all my issues have piled up on top of that I have family conflicts and sleeplessness since months I feel like I'm passing out - can anyone please help me any counsellor or someone request one or two pro bono sessions

I think I may have a low IQ, perhaps even below 70. If that were true, I would technically be considered intellectually disabled. Some psychologists have used the "R-word" for this in the past, but I think that term is wrong and offensive, However, I have read some of Stephen Jay Gould's views on IQ, He argued that IQ is, to some extent, not accurate thing to measure intelligence and has often been used to justify inequalities. He also believed that intelligence is influenced by social and environmental conditions and can improve with better education. In short, he did not view intelligence as completely fixed. There is also a lot of politics surrounding IQ. Some research suggests that conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodevelopmental differences can affect IQ test scores as well....What I want to ask is  according to psychologists, how can we determine whether someone has a low IQ? The reason I think I might have a low IQ is that I struggle with comprehension

Now it is becoming very difficult to make her go to school daily. She is crying alot. What can we do. We both parents are working in IT and doing wfh too. Kindly provide a solution
