Anyone else experience minor health issues when in withdrawals? I feel like this acts similar to a drug. You know, I feel anxiety worsen which leads to shortens of breath, and dizziness. Somewhat paranoid.

It’s most likely a response from the lack of dopamine that the body is experiencing. Remember that you ARE more than just a physical body with physical needs, and while it is important to be aware of your well being, you are also more than them-especially if they are being caused by a change that is actually good. Getting outside and grounding could definitely help!

You might feel anxiety after quitting porn because your brain and body are adjusting to a major change in how you handle stress, reward, and emotions. Masturbation and pornography can become a coping mechanism, and when that is removed you will then feel the weight of what you might be dealing with because you don’t have a coping mechanism. Learning a new way to cope with stress is actually a really fun thing!
