    Hey
    I'm currently experiencing wide range of emotions.

    Is there any science behind why recovery
    From porn addiction causes wild emotions?

    It's not too bad for me, but noticeable.

    Also, PMO is a very effective but maladaptive way to AVOID emotions.

    Take it away, suddenly you are feeling everything. Your brain isn't used to it.

    ^^^ there's your answer.

    The problem with numbing your emotions through PMO is that you can't selectively numb emotions. If you numb pain, you're also going to numb happiness. If you do it to reduce boredom, you're also going to reduce your capacity for fun.

    Get rid of PMO, and enjoy the roller coaster of actually feeling your feelings. It's a good thing.

    Thanks guys. I definitely need to do some research this time and try understand how the addiction is causing issues in my brain.
