I'm 22 and male. I was addicted to porn and masturbation from age 13-18. I had all symptoms like depression anxiety numbness and dopamine receptors were like not working but after that I made my mind and since 3+ years I have completely stopped this. I was feeling normal and one day I felt really normal and happy and everything seemed to be okay and you felt my brain has obtained homeostasis again (i.e my dopamine receptors were sensitive permanently again) but after months of being happy and normal one day early morning I was semi awake and nightfall happened but I really enjoyed it as I was not completely unconscious and after that day I felt little less active but overall okay. After some days I worked out but at night it gave me very bad anxiety and while trying to sleep my head was shaking due to tremors and suddenly my head shake very badly and then I slept but at morning I felt like I have seizure but idk what was that (hopefully only anxiety) I felt very very depressed but then I ignored it and moved on still feeling okay. Now at work one day boss gave me a computer to work otherwise I had no work on computer and the load of work was very high and whenever I used to sit on a computer for 15-30 mins I started shaking now I managed it somehow but now when I feel bad really bad anxiety for the whole day but still work still take the load of work and feel like shit now. A week ago I used allot of phone and internet because of diverting my mind from anxiety but after weeks of using excess phone at night one day I got severe anxiety (at home I didn't had any anxiety it was just due to work otherwise I was normal) but then things changed I have no interest for things I feel numb I feel like I have damaged my brain due to excess work load I feel like I can't be cured now I have done something bad to me. I have teeth grinding during day and I don't think the way I used to and don't feel the same. I don't want to take anti depressants please help me out so that I can easily work and live a good life. Ps: I wish I had never done masturbation and porn for continue 4-5 years. My question is that I want to feel normal my work on computer has made me like mind retarded idk what to do? Only doing work on computer makes me feel anxiety and depression and very bad overall but other than that I feel very good like on holidays etc I used to recover from hectic work but now I can't recover I feel like I can't be normal again nd I have damaged my brain. And I can't leave that job because they pay good and I can't get another job. It's a bank job. Please help me out.
