    I have been trying to quit porn for over 5 years now unsuccessfully. No doubt in my mind I am addicted and no PMO is the only way I can create the self-discipline to stay porn-free. I am current two weeks into my reboot and suffering from intense mood swings. One day I feel normal and within an hour I feel like the world is out to get me. Very seldom is the mood swing anything but negative and its making me begin to feel a little depressed. I have been meditating and doing yoga to relieve the stress this recovery process brings, but its not enough. I have been having night terrors and waking up shouting in the middle of the night. I have a lot of stress from work and sometimes its really helpful since it lets me get my mind off everything else, but I feel like its all catching up to me, especiallly with this stage of recovery. What are some other things I can do to have a less mood swings and improve this level of built up anxiety from recovery?

    I've been exercising 5 times a week. Long distance less so, but I often run 3 miles and then do elliptical machine for 40 minutes in the gym. It definitely helps, but does not make enough of a difference
