I feel really embarrassed - I can't stop masturbating. Whenever I get stressed, I get a strong urge.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

When you start to think about it why not switch your mind to something else. Exercise, a hobby, taking a relaxing bath, praying to God to help you over and over. Best of luck to you.

Don't be embarrassed. You aren't the only person finding a way to reduce stress. There are far less healthy ways too - smoking or drinking too much.
You need to sort out the real reasons why you want to stop masturbating and think about that very realistically. A very large number of people have real struggles stopping, so you need to be quite clear in your decision. But embarrassment should not form any basis in your thinking.

You would be amazed, I think, to know how many Christians struggle with this. Please don't be embarrassed, sweetie, you are not alone.
We all struggle with different sins, and despite what some think, sexual sin isn't worse than any other.
As Johnnz says, the important thing is to work out why you are getting stressed and how you can deal with that stress.
In the meantime, there are coping strategies to get over the urge... exercise is a good one, and depending on the time of day, I have always found getting out of the house and going to a public place a great deterrent! It is very hard to touch in a shopping mall or a library.
I hope that you can get past this, sweetie. If you need to talk, please PM me anytime (You'll need to make a few more posts first.. I think it's 15).
