I've been struggling with some serious issues and really need advice. I'm 29 and have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for 15 years, and I feel like it's really taking a toll on my body and mind. My short-term memory is suffering, and I often feel pain in my body. My energy levels are so low, and I just feel really exhausted all the time. On top of this, I also have schizophrenia, which makes everything even harder. I desperately want to get back to a healthier place and live a happy life. How can I start recovering from all this and take better care of myself?

I'm struggling with a porn addiction and I can't seem to stop. I do it about ten times a day and it's really starting to affect my life. I'm worried and I really need some advice from a medical perspective on how to overcome this. Can you help me out?
It's commendable that you're seeking help. Overcoming addiction takes time and support. I recommend talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction; they can guide you through strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additionally, setting clear goals and reducing triggers gradually can also help you regain control.
