Can I Overcome Porn Addiction Naturally?
How to cure Porn addiction
Psychologist
Answered on 2nd Jan '25
Hi, It’s brave of you to acknowledge this concern and seek help—taking the first step is always the hardest. Breaking free from a habit like porn requires a combination of self-awareness, discipline, and support. Here are some steps that might help: 1. Understand Your Triggers: Pay attention to when and why you feel the urge to watch porn. Is it boredom, stress, or something else? Knowing this can help you address the root cause. 2. Set Clear Goals: Decide why you want to reduce or stop watching porn. A strong reason can keep you motivated during tough times. 3. Replace the Habit: Find healthier activities to engage in when the urge strikes—exercise, hobbies, or spending time with family and friends can be great distractions. 4. Limit Access: Use apps or tools to block adult content on your devices. Reducing temptation can make it easier to stay on track. 5. Seek Support: If this feels like a significant struggle, talking to a trusted adult, mentor, or therapist can provide guidance and tools to help you manage your habits. Remember, this is a process, and setbacks might happen. Be patient with yourself and keep moving forward. You’ve got this!

I know you feel really low at the moment. Many people experience life seeming meaningless sometimes. But there is hope – things can improve. Feeling this way often signals depression, a common condition that can be treated. Speaking with a mental health expert may help lift your mood, and find new purpose.

Hi - I am taking for 10 months now mirtazipine 30 mg. Is it ok to half the dose - or do I need to build down more slowly? I gain a lot of weight … Thank you
Female | Joke
A common side effect of mirtazapine is weight gain. Talk with your doctor before you reduce your dose. They might recommend a strategy to decrease the dose gradually so that you won't have withdrawal symptoms. It is dangerous to quickly change your dose; therefore, it is necessary to do it carefully under the supervision of your doctor.

Is exercise good for akathisia caused by ssri meds
Male | 22
Akathisia, the condition characterized by undue restlessness or an uncontrolled compulsion to move the body, even muscle contractions or spasms that may occur, are among the side effects of the intake of SSRIs. A physical regime that is regular will help decrease anxiety and boost the overall health status of an individual. Low-intensity exercises like walking and yoga have the energy to be miracles. However, each case is different from the other, and suggest you take your symptoms and exercise programs to your doctor.

i am 25 year age male and my problem is social anxiety for five years I have many medicine used but not relief my father,daughter and brother same problem please understand how I do?
Male | 25
Social anxiety causes extreme discomfort in social situations such as communicating with people or being in a mass of people. It is attributed to both genetic and environmental factors. These conversations help cut down these fears. This is an indication that everyone is involved and seeking help. Please visit a psychiatrist so they can counsel you about how to manage this.

I've had this issue for a long time; the notion of having sex with my family members crosses my mind, and even though I know it's not ethically proper, I can't stop myself. Even the notion that the person with whom I want to have sex wants to have sex with me occurs to me. As a result, I've been into a lot of difficulty. I am always depressed.

Female | 18
During a panic attack, you might feel as if you cannot breathe, have a racing heart, and feel shaky or dizzy. Your body can be in “fight or flight” mode when there is no real danger. You should do breathing exercises or other things that help you relax so these feelings don’t get too intense. Talk with someone you trust and consider talking to a counselor or therapist for more support if necessary.

Insomnia may be the result of stress, anxiety, or even lifestyle problems. A calming pre-bedtime ritual or other relaxing techniques should be established. Stay away from caffeine and electrical devices before sleeping.

I'm 26 I have autism ocd Suspected ADHD and suspected fibromyalgia I'm taking 15mg of escitalopram It's making me fall asleep from 6 am to 8 am What should I do? I take it in the evening
Male | 26
Escitalopram might be making you feel too drowsy in the morning like it's the reason you are going to sleep. This case is more or less the same with some people. An example of one thing you might do is to consume it earlier in the evening, for instance, right before you eat. This way, you may later be tired but not in the morning. If the problem continues, bring it up with your doctor.

The cause of the whole thing can be physical illnesses like depression, thyroid, or dysbiosis. It will be the best thing to do is to talk to your parents, family, or any other adults that you trust so they can later take you to a psychiatrist. It's the first thing to do since, by doing so, you can get the right diagnosis, hence, treated, and hence feel better and go back to your normal self again.

High blood pressure can have many causes, including stress. Worrying too much and overthinking may also be signs of anxiety. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking medication. To manage stress and anxiety, try relaxation methods like deep breathing, exercise, or talking to someone you trust.

Will I die of valium 5mg 30 pills and Xanax 0.5 30 pills with alcohol
Male | 32
Mixing Valium, Xanax, and alcohol can be extremely dangerous. They all influence the brain to slow down activities, which can result in respiratory difficulties, unconsciousness, and even death. Indications may involve sleepiness, bewilderment, slurred language, and a decrease in respiration. If you've mixed these, look for urgent medical care immediately. It's crucial never to combine these substances because it might be fatal.

Male | 35
It's important to understand that schizophrenia is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment. If you're experiencing excessive sexual desire, it may be a side effect of your medications or related to the condition itself. I strongly advise you to consult a psychiatrist who can adjust your treatment plan or provide guidance on managing these symptoms effectively.

The inner glands produce adrenaline. Adrenaline is also known as the “fight-or-flight hormone.” It's released in response to a stressful, exciting, dangerous, or threatening situation. Adrenaline helps your body react more quickly. One can reduce adrenaline by activating relaxation response ( in contrast of fight and flight response) by doing meditation, yoga, playing a sport, listening to music ect. One can do relaxation exercises like Jacobsons progressive muscular relaxation, pranayam and through guided imagery.

Please I want to help her before it is too late,what is the first step that I can do.is there any over the counter medication that I can get for her
Female | 10
If your kids are crying easily, getting mad quickly, and can’t pay attention, they might have something called “childhood depression.” You did not cause this. It is nobody’s fault. One thing I would do is talk with a therapist/psychiatrist. There might be other ways doctors can think of to help your child and family.
