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.
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
Also just talking about your kinks and other things you're ashamed of with people you trust is really helpful in clearing that. Shame will hold you back from being true to yourself, and it's not worth it.
