Why you are facing bouts of depression, panic attacks and anxiety after quitting pmoe?...
First, its due to leaving an addiction. The mind finds its no longer depend on anything to get boosted chemically
Second, withdrawal from leaving the addiction. The mind plays a problem solving game by cranking up stress and anxiety to get the addiction back (as it relies solely on it).
Main point is: dependece of mind on addiction.
This leaving experience affects the mind so much that it thinks it cannot do anything without the addiction (in our case porn)
Third, the mind produces a false belief that without porn, you cant do anything as you should or always did-- this makes depression & panic attacks, withdrawal symptoms show up.
You become convinced that the belief is real as whatever task you do, u feel empty and out of feel-- thinking mind starts adding these experiences to the belief.
(Now doing your part comes in play)
You do your best to be present in whatever task you do and when you realise all these happenings (that I discribed), you start to feel better at something (at least some corners), hope emerges and you start cracking that old belief
As and when bouts of depression and anxiety comes up, you realise this as a distraction from the reality (your hope) and realise what is actually happening (the first 3 points I described), a new empowered belief gets overwritten the old belief..
May God bless all of us with peace, calmness and love
