Depression and anxiety definitely has something to do with it in my case but what's weird is that I don't have any desire for sex whatsoever. It's 100% just a habit/addiction/distraction. I hardly even get any pleasure from it and without an exception feel absolutely shit afterwards. Then I hit rock bottom and stop doing it for few weeks but as the first signs of healing start appearing meaning I can feel the tiniest amount of horniness again I then relapse and the loop starts all over again.
Been without about a week now, again, and I'm about at the point where it starts getting hard again. By it I don't mean IT.
Yeah, you're in a loop. You should try and get out more, when the loop starts that is. There is nothing wrong with masturbating IMO, even if it's a few times a week, or even once a day, but if you start doing it several times a day, yeah, that is somewhat not really healthy. Sure, you're keeping your prostate in check (this is mainly why I recommend anyone above 30, 35 to do it regularly), but that's not the reason why you're doing it, is it.
For me, it was mainly sex. Had a lot of quarels with my partner back then and makeup sex was the only thing I wanted... it felt weird... I've always been agressive in bed, but this time, I felt like I wanted to punish her... I really have no idea what was going on with me at that time, it was a weird period, I didn't feel like myself at all.
