I'm really struggling with a bad habit of hand practice and just don't know how to stop. Every time I feel weak and tell myself I'll quit, I find myself right back at it once I start feeling better. It's like I can't control the urge no matter how hard I try, and I'm just exhausted from failing over and over. There are lots of triggers depending on the situation, and I really could use some help figuring out how to manage this. Any advice on what I can do?

In such cases, medications like fluoxetine (Prozac) can be helpful in reducing compulsive behaviors. Additionally, counseling or therapy can also be beneficial in addressing the underlying reasons for this behavior and developing coping strategies. Do not start any medication without consulting a specialist first.Last updated on 22 Jan 2025
