I feel ashamed and upset. I’m new to the community. But I need some help. What did you guys do when you are home, physically unable to exercise because of a previous injury you’re in physically therapy for, and you’re bored. I’m noticing that I use masterbation as a coping mechanism for depression and it’s gotten to a point of using money for nonsense. Please help me control my life with your pieces of advice.
I would highly recommend trying to find an accountability partner. I have been unfortunately in a very similar situation physically and I found myself relying the same way. I opened up to my partner & therapist and it made it much easier to deal when these things come on. I allow the shame of disappointing my partner even though they would still love me, as motivation to stay clean.
