Hello Everyone,
I'm a 25 year old white male. For a long time, my general state of health was quite good and still is aside from my overwhelming stress, anxiety and panic. I've been masturbating since about the age of 14 on a basis of at least once per day for the most part. In the past year or two, I've started to think that my habit of practicing this activity has contributed heavily to my emotional and mental instability in relation to the above mentioned. Some of my regular symptoms include but may not be limited to: general anxiety, panic attacks, faintness / lightheadedness during panic, hair loss / thinning hair, eye floaters, infrequent palpitations, lower back pain, irritability, high sensitivity, headaches, flushed sensations, nocturnal panic / jolting awake, etc. Many times after I masturbate at night, I get the nocturnal panic stuff happening towards the morning jolting me awake and freaking me out. It's not a mental thing. I know that there are obvious ties to hormones and maybe even hormonal imbalances that can be attributed to stimulating oneself and the release of semen. Can someone please clarify some of this and let me know their thoughts on possible ties between the two?
Thank You,
