do we get happier when we stop?? I'm constantly so sad and empty, even with anti depressants and the gym.

YES!!! but I do believe that has a lot to do with the lifestyle change associated with quitting, for example, going to the gym, focusing on relationships, and also the associated loss of shame and guilt

Get off the anti depressants that’s the problem, but don’t get off right away gradually reduce the amount you take.

I think it’s figuring out why you’re that way. Porn was a means to distract from how you felt inside. At least for me that is what I noticed. When I didn’t have the constant distraction of porn, or something else, I felt I had deep sadness. This moved me to therapy and deep thinking about why I felt this way. It’s a way to connect with yourself.

It gets worse before it gets better. In short terms the science behind just says your dopamine levels are Hella low, because whenever you do it you get a crazy dopamine high. You get used to your dopamine high and when you don't do it for a bit ( a couple of weeks) it's going to be tuff, but afterwards you find happinies in the small things

True happiness comes from finding the inner strength from quitting and moving on. Learning to have the focus to grind through hobbies and jobs makes the process so amazing. Plus your charisma with ladies gets soooo much better
