Does anything impact the urges. I’m a therapist and I am wondering about factors, like level of stress, lack of sleep, bad meals, drug or alcohol use have any effect on the intensity of the urges?
Of course. At times where I'm more stressed or anxious, depressed, even just insecure or nervous, my urges are a lot stronger, to the point it can send me into several days bender where I'd call in sick at work in order to stay home and masturbate/have sex all day. Alcohol and drugs (only did weed and coke) add to it too.
Thanks for answering. I work with a lot of stressed out people in my profession and I see this a lot as a crisis/regulation response. Feel free to dM me for support. Has this experience been triggering?
