    I've been feeling sad lately, but I have no reason for that besides my porn addiction.

    You see:
    I wanted to change my major and I was approved to receive a full scholarship for the major I want.

    I wanted to get a job and I'm currently working for the company I wanted

    I'm in good shape, have friends and even some girls who like me (even though my appearance isn't very good). But none of this makes me happy and I believe porn is the reason.

    Some people reading this may be in a "worse" situation and think that it's no big deal, but seriously, nothing of what I've described is helping me getting in a good mood.

    I feel depressed and am worried about losing it all. Anxiety, loneliness... I feel it all, but no happiness.

    ps: my counter is incorrect, I'm on day 2 with no O

    Maybe it's because of porn. Or maybe there's another hidden, underlying reason that you can't yet see (that makes you numb your pain through PMO). Whatever it is, nofap will sure help!

    Depression and addiction fuel each other. If everything else is good, PMO might be a huge reason for feeling depressed and removing it will probably help. At the same time, the addiction started somewhere and it's not unlikely that you used it as a coping mechanism in the past.
    How long were you addicted? Were you depressed/anxious in the past?
