Handling Masturbation Addiction:
Masturbation is a normal and healthy aspect of human sexuality. However, if you feel that it's becoming excessive and negatively impacting your life, it's important to take steps to regain control:
a. Self-awareness: Recognize when the behavior becomes excessive or compulsive. Honest self-assessment is the first step.
b. Set limits: Establish healthy boundaries by setting a schedule that allows for balanced activities in your life, including work, socializing, and hobbies.
c. Seek support: If you find it difficult to manage on your own, consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who specializes in sexual health to help you develop healthier habits.
Next Steps
Remember that seeking professional help is a sign of strength, not weakness. A mental health professional can offer personalized guidance tailored to your situation.

Since the repeated masturbation is creating a problem with your physical health and social life, I would advise you consult a mental health professional for guidance. You can start by identifying the triggers or stressors that are causing you to masturbate beyond usual. If possible avoid those triggers, or confront them in a healthy way. You can use distraction techniques like breathing exercises, drinking water or taking time out to tide over the urge to masturbate/ watch porn. For a more detailed evaluation and management, seeing a psychiatrist would be advisable.
