<s>[INST] Hi I am 18 years old and I can t stop masturbation . I was 12 when I started it. Now I feel I have destroyed my whole life. I started to feel less happy and energetic. And because of masturbation I spend more time on it rather than having friend, studying, doing sports, having hobbies, ..etc. now I feel alone, depressed, unhappy and ashamed . I need help [/INST] Dear user first you should not be shamed of that severe masturbation is common problem especially in your age and you should not be shamed of that as it will lead you for depression and stress and psychological problems that will harm you more and more.....try to see your doctor to check if you have any infection genital or urinary...as infection may be cause of severe irritation lead you to have great desire to masturbate.....2nd try to monitor your lifestyle and have healthy food reach of fibers and for regular exercise will help a lot ....regular exercise utilize your energy and masturbation will decrease....you may have psychological problem with sex or maybe you have emotional disorders....at last try to live simply away from stress or emotional troubles and do regular exercise and have friends and be happy .......don't get shamed .......wish you healthy life </s>
