Hello everyone,
I'm 21 and I've suffered from anxiety since I was 16 or so.
I have this problem, I call it this way because I really think its an issue: I use masturbation as a relief from stressful situations.
Now that's not that weird, you'll say. But...
I can do it more than 15-20 times a day.
And while I'm doing it, I DO NOT think about anything even remotely related to sex. There are times when I do, but I'm not talking about that. What I think about are things that I've done that made me feel guilty.
Most stupid example: I'm late for an appointment. I know that if I go right now, I'll most likely be there in time. But then, I get excited and start masturbating. The more late I am, the more excited I feel.

Whenever I have to do something, be somewhere, whenever I have an obligation of any kind, I have the urge to masturbate. If I'm alone all day, I end up masturbating 15-20 times, and in the end of the day I feel terribly exausted.
I do think masturbation is healthy and normal, but not in this way. This doesn't feel sexual in any way.
I'm female, by the way.

Does anyone have a problem exatly like this? I'd like to hear that I'm not alone...
Thanks for reading
