I've been dealing with some anxiety issues and I've noticed a habit of mine that's been concerning me. I tend to shake both my legs when I'm sitting cross-legged, and I can't help but wonder if it's causing me harm. After I'm done with the shaking, I sometimes start to sweat and feel pretty tired. Should I be worried about how this might be affecting my heart or maybe my overall health?

I'm struggling with a porn addiction and I can't seem to stop. I do it about ten times a day and it's really starting to affect my life. I'm worried and I really need some advice from a medical perspective on how to overcome this. Can you help me out?

It's commendable that you're seeking help. Overcoming addiction takes time and support. I recommend talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction; they can guide you through strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additionally, setting clear goals and reducing triggers gradually can also help you regain control.
