Hi all, I have had this addiction for over 15 years and am taking steps to stop. I would say my confidence in social settings is quite low, and I have always been quite nervous and anxious. My job doesn’t help as it is stressful and I released that I would watch porn and masturbate to calm down or feel more at ease. I am now on day ten but my anxiety is very high. I feel panicked, I think of the worst case in every situation and feel everything is outside my control. My heart races at the smallest of things and I just feel upset most of the day. I am overreacting to small things and am trying to understand if this is a phase, if so how long until my mood stabilises. I booked a doctors appointment to get some advise on anxiety coping strategies but I am not sure that will help. Can anyone tell me if what I am experiencing is normal? Thank you.
Irritability is common a week or so into reboot. Relax. Go easy on yourself and others. It will get better
