You expressed depression associated with your masturbation. Why do you believe you get depressed when you're masturbating on a regular basis? Biologically, there's no connection with masturbation and depression, but there can definitely be some social factors contributing to it. Do you have shame associated with it, or other feelings? And have you considered getting treatment for your tinnitus? The condition has no relation to masturbation, but other conditions are related to it, so you may want to see a doctor if this is something you deal with.

Good luck!

I think you understood me wrong. I masturbated because I was depressed and used it as an outlet to feel good.
