    Y’all I’ve been too embarrassed to tell my therapist but the way I pulled myself out of a deep depression a few months ago was because I started masturbating regularly, which I had never done before. It’s not working very well anymore but now when I talk to them it’s like “oh well what were you doing differently last time you felt better?” Idk man, it’s a mystery.

      It served as a source of novel pleasure, now it’s just pleasure. Something else that’s new and exciting could be what you’re looking for, just make sure it doesn’t turn to excessive drug use or something else thats irresponsible

      no psychologist here, but wouldn’t the “doing nothing different” be the cause?

      maybe try a few toys, there’s so many types these days, putting stuff up in the ass is also a good choice, lots of pleasure points there for both sexes

      maybe you could find some relieve exploring your own body? that worked somewhat for me, maybe I’ve become a pervert or a degenerate, but I feel very good about myself and with myself
