Is it normal to hide your pain from others...and yourself?

To everyone I'm a normal 21 y/o guy going to
School and work living a normal life. But secretly I'm suffering with mental and emotional disturbances, masturbating till my crouch hurts and binge eating till I almost pass out. I should be on broadway because no one has a clue what I'm going thru...except you guys

Is It Normal?

  • Its a thing that a lot of people do male and female at your age. You have a very high sex drive at your age with a high level of insecurity also. Try to get in touch with your feelings and accept them and have some compassion for yourself. You are ok . Masturbation feels good and relieves depression and anxiety. Sometimes people who suffer from depression and anxiety will masturbate excessively. If this continues to cause you a lot of pain , a good counselor would understand.You are worth good feelings.

  • You have a job and go to school, your parents should be proud and you should be happy for it.

  • I understand. Why don't you talk to a therapist?
