Macelliot:
I don't think it's necessary.
Afterall, you are an opposite sex.
I don't think an opposite sex can give me a good & geniuned advice.

Oops! You don't even av an iota of belief in me, well, der's no point trying then-apparently, you think I got nothing to say.


However, dude, next time, don't write people off like that-that's a very 'uncool' post you got up there! Lots of females can help your situation, in lots of ways! I ain't gonna boyher again, anywayz!

Cheers!

Macelliot: I am 18yrs, depressed about my sex life.
I usually have unwanted erection with strong sexual urges always, which makes me to masturbate.
I hate myself whenever I masturbates. I feels tired, weak, anxious, confused, whenever I encounter the same ugly situation.
I felt hatred for sex. I don't even what to have sexual urges for now. I can't control myself.
I began an online search and I found out that some Antidepressant drugs sides' effect decreases libido.
I think that would be better, but what type of Antidepressant drug will I use?
Apart from antidepressant drugs, please, what will I do to eradicate this problem?
Thanks.
There is nothing wrong with you. you do not need any drug. Most people at your age experience such sexual urge, its just a normal natural physiology. Don't feel guilty about that, if self servicing helps to calm the urge, then its ok. but moderation is the key.

HumbledbYGrace: I went to them lastweek and they gave me painblock, stressing that we as people like giving ourself diseases we don't have, without my psychiatrist diagnose their hands are tied. I have to wait for another week for my clinic card from home for them to give me meds. Can't find the misplaced meds.

Sorry about that, hang in there, it's next week already! Do your best to avoid being lonely.

I really can't blame them for not selling the drug, people abused the system e.g. Michael Jackson. I just pray you get the clinic card as early as possible.

Mine is a peculiar case! Left school some years back I had no job for two years after graduation and under employed for another 3 years. I met hostile people at work who always tell me how terrible I look. I developed low self esteem, this lead to depression, it aggravates and I became paranoid!

Unfortunately I didn't know much about mental health then. People around me noticed my irrational behaviour but they prefered to gossip about it rather than telling me.

As God has detined it to be, one of my friends made jest of my state my mind one day and I realised I was loosing it! The next that came to my mind was suicide, I bought the drug, my plan was to use overdose. In the process of writing my suicide note I slept off. Will continue soon...

I hope people won't turn this thread into a pity party.

As an individual suffering from BPD I've had really great moments during several hypomania episodes. During those episodes, I count my condition as a blessing.

No pity party please. It doesn't help.

Following you on twitter. @HumbledByGrace.

Your advice is totally on point except that he should avoid girls completely for 4 months, that's practically impossible. He should rather see those girls as sisters by changing his mindset. . Even if he decides to avoid seeing girls, it doesn't guarantee that mast.urbation will stop, there are other factors that can forster this.
Lets be honest with ourselves bro, do you actually think it will be possible to see those potential hot bedmates as sisters? (considering his age). Will it be possible to hang around them and not stare at the pointers? Infact, if you ask me, i'd advice him to join the catholic priesthood till his hormones balance out again. Avoiding girls (only) is not a guarantee. However, with WILLINGNESS, quiting the habit is definitely guaranteed. There will be relapses once in a while but his strong will to quit will pull him through.

bettermike: Yo girlie, take it easy now. I dont think he said anything offensive. You can never advise a man on this kinda issue since you are female and know little how it affects men. Let me give you a simple example. Women secrete very much less liquid during sex, very unlike your male counterparts. More liquid = more important nutrients lost. When one repeats the act frequently (more than once a month), in no time will it lead to a very serious deficiency which is a clear reason for Macelot's persistent tiredness and other symptoms he is presently experiencing. Point is, the effects of selfservicing or frequent sex differs significantly in males and females. There are so many other things involved that i wont be able to expose ritenow. By the way, MACELOT, please also do try to delete these following words completely from your vocabs: fvck, mojo and sex. Plus try to stop singing along to any song that has a sexy undertone to it (be it wizkid or rihanna or anyother). Believe me, our body has a way of acting out things we say. If you succesfully restrain your self while you're awake, your body wil stil have its way while you're asleep. Am talking about wet dreams which will be eventually taking one back to square one. Take heed bro. I wish you the very best.
Thanks alot.

common you don't expect someone at this age not to come in contact or be in relation with girls, we aren't in the 19th century. .. In class you may just have to relate with girls unless somethings may go wrong if your lecturer is type that give joint group assignments.

Now the problem with maturationn is mainly lust and lust can be fostered through different means, you don't have to be with girls always to generate lust, words alone by peers can cause lust, even if he decides to be a Catholic father and to avoid girls for 10years, it doesn't still guarantee the stop to mast.urbation. The main way to stop this mast.urbation is to just give respect to this ladies like yoi would to someone you cherish, you cannot avoid girls for 4 months, that is one of the unrealistic thing I have heard in a while, you get in contact with the opposite gender through different means and so the best option for him is to get used to their presence.

Am sure people that don't masturbate still have relationship with ladies, its possible since they must have trained themselve into doing this without fostering any lustly affection.

so bro a more realistic advice will be to have a clean relationship with ladies by letting your thoughts and desire dwell on clean and godly things, this is the only possible way. Staying away from ladies is just too unrealistic, it may even make him an hypocrite in the long run after finding out it doesn't solve the problem.

..Also james allen..As a man thinks

" "Mind is the Master--power that molds
and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more
he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping
what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a
thousand ills--He thinks in secret and it comes
to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass."

"we are what we are by our own thoughts"

“ A man's mind may be likened to
a garden, which may be
intelligently cultivated or
allowed to run wild; but
whether cultivated or neglected,
it must, and will, bring forth. If
no useful seeds are put into it,
then an abundance of useless
weed seeds will fall therein, and
will continue to produce their
kind.

James Allen

for those suffering depression, just let your thoughts/mind dwell on beauty and godly things, it will change your perception as a whole

i recommend the book "as a man thinketh" by james allen, its life changing

Honestly, you've raised good points. However, i believe you misinterpreted my points abit. Ofcourse there's no way one will not meet girls on a daily. What i actually meant was staying away from prospective dating or sexual relationshps for 4 months (which is very feasible). Believe me, if he stil harbours any second though regarding sex, it wont be long before he returns to the daily habit once again. And ofcourse, when he walks by the street, seeing girls, it should be easy to look away. Point is, he's got to stay clear of girls for 4months straight. AS A MATTER OF FACT, here's is an extreme therapy for MACELOT if he can do it. Every 3hours, repeat these following words to yourself for the next 2weeks or more. (1) I HATE SEX. (2) I HATE BREASST. (3) I HATE GIRLS. Please dont hate girls o, i believe you wil get married to one of them someday. This is just a short term measure till you gain ful control of your senses.

@ Haibe. You also talk about respecting the opposite sex as wel as seeing them as sisters. Great thinking i must admit. Sadly, the world is more complicated than 2+2 (if you get what i mean). Although frownd upon, It is no longer news that sibblings engage in sexual escapades. These odd days, fathers are now sleeping with their own children. Is this supposed to be? No! Point is, sexual attraction knows no sisters o. Not to talk of non-sisters. Which brings us back to what i said. He's got to stay clear till he can completely control his sexual urge. He'll be completely free when he sincerely stops staring at girls behinds and pointers. When he can stay without thinking about sex for 2weeks straight. At that point he should be able to reintegrate himself to regular transexual interactions. Abeg let me rest it here for now.
Re: A Thread For Those Suffering From Depression Or Anxiety Disorders by bettermike: 11:40am On Nov 22, 2013
Just like drinking. Alot of people drink but not all of them can control their drinking habit. Now, its absolutely imposible not to walk by a beer palour once in a while. Going into the place, when you are trying to quit drinking is very not advisable till you can fully assure yourself that when you go in there, you will not even look at the bottle. Same goes for masturbaition. Having relationshps with girls is a no-no. EXCEPT SHE'S ALSO NOT INTERESTED IN SEX. There's a way the brain works regarding addiction and DEPRESSION.

The brain reacts to ADDICTION AND DEPRESSION alike. How? IT ADAPTS and remains that way till you are determined to change. If you succeed, it will return to the proper pattern and stay that way (till you decide to re-expose yourself again). Meaning, if you have too much sex or you mope around for too long, your brain will start firing neurons to suit that pattern till it becomes very hard to change (which explains why its realy hard to quit most habits). And as for those seeking drugs to treat depression, well good luck on that. All i see here is someone cutting his finger just because of a minor problem like weaklow. Basically, you are altering some of your other bodily functions in your attempt to treat DEPRESSION. Its only a matter of time till you come down with something more serious. THE DOCTORS JUST WANT TO CONTINUE MAKING MONEY OFF YOU. Reason why they will keep making you return. THEY WONT TELL YOU THE TRUTH (although some of them sincerely dont know any better). Ofcourse depression is a disease. Its stil never as serious as cancer. So please stop comparing them to each other. You can treat DEPRESSION without a single drug. Its a habit that needs to be kicked out. It results mainly from FRUSTRATION. What you need do is make up your mind to ignore all the frustration and try to be happy always. Cry once in a while, but smile or laugh more. & Eat right and always look on the bright side of every problem thrown your way. & In no time, your brain will eventually start correcting itself again. Sadly, it seems some people are begining to derive hapiness from consistent sadness. Pity. Anyways, best of luck to us all.

Ok. I deleted my first NL account (created 2011) last month, I was depressed then, same with my Facebook account (5years old), and ask.fm.

It would be cool to have a group off NL, we can create a group on G+ and have a weekly/monthly hang-out, or those that are into chatting can exchange whatsapp id/BBM pin, we could skype too! it would be fun (i guess).

@Bettermike. Nonsense. If you've ever been depressed you would understand better. If you don't know what people are going through, telling them you feel their pain is wrong, it's just like mocking them.

You think it's an "habit" to feel sad all the time? Nonsense.
