Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
First, lots of people have this problem. No need to be ashamed. Its a problem and we can sort it out.
Second who started you on treatment for mania? Have you visited the doc lately? If not, I suggest you do.
Third, about how to reduce and possible stop
masturbation. I wish you had added what you do so I could have helped you better.
Here my options-
1. Whenever you feel like masturbating, go for a walk and meet someone.
2. Whenever you feel like masturbating, have a chocolate
3. Whenever you feel like masturbating, have a bath
4. Whenever you feel like masturbating, read something, listen to music, pay attention to a hobby
Initially it will be difficult. Don't think you can stop overnight. You have to slow your impulse, delay the act as long as you can. Gradually the duration of delaying the act will increase, till finally you can control the urge.
Don't set a deadline. It wont help. Just do your best. Divert your attention.
And after the act, think and write what you could have done instead. Maintain the diary of things to do, and do them. Cross these out as you do them.
I am sure this will help.
I hope this helps you. Best of luck.
