I started to develop some serious anxiety after i got addicted to porn. i have visual snow, which i thought was drug induced, but i feel like maybe its a mix of both. Anyways, ever since i started watching porn ive had obsessions as to what may or may not be wrong with me, i have intrusive thoughts also. Recently ive been having more and more intrusive thoughts, my dreams are more vivid and intense, i wake up with a song or a quote stuck in my head for no apparent reason, and the last two days ive been getting images popping in my head. It doesnt really bother me a whole lot as i assume its probably due to me rebooting; but am kinda curious if anyone can relate or is aware if this is common or not.

Remember that your brain is going to change as it rewires. Old pathways are going to extinct and new ones will form. I did get some vivid dreams (including dreams of watching porn) whilst rebooting - that's part of the process for most people. When you abruptly stop doing something that you've been doing for a long time your brain has to make sense of that somehow and dreams are one way that it does it.
