ADHD and porn addiction

Masturbated way too much the last three days. How much is too much? A few hours? Nope. WAY MORE THAN THAT. I just deleted 95% of my porn and am forcing myself to take a break from fapping for two weeks.

In my case, this was a direct side-effect of Vyvanse. I never felt any super compulsion to masturbate, I just decided to do it out of habit or because I had a few free minutes--but then I got trapped in it all day long. I think I had many of the elements of a porn addiction in place prior to medication, it's just it never actually interfered with life in any real way and it never actually got out of hand, even despite marathon sessions. But the last three days have been totally out of control. I've never experienced anything like this before, and I'm taking it very seriously--starting with no porn and no fap for two weeks, then reassess.

Again, I have no super compulsion to masturbate besides just randomly somewhat feeling like I want to do it. As long as I don't think to myself "eh, there's no harm, I promise I'll only go 15 minutes and set a timer", then I won't get trapped. I just have to say "no, that sort of thinking is exactly how I get trapped. Just say no, and go do some work instead.".
