It seems to be a psychosexual obsession leading to anxiety and other psychological issues.
It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated and can affect your personal and sexual life.

Hi, thank you for sharing your concern. It sounds like you have been carrying these feelings for quite some time, and it must be emotionally exhausting to feel restless, anxious, and trapped. From what you have shared, it seems that watching porn, masturbating, and continuously scrolling through social media may have become ways of coping or escaping from the difficult thoughts and emotions you are experiencing, rather than the actual problem itself.
I would encourage you not to handle this alone. Meeting with a counselling psychologist can help you understand what is contributing to these feelings, work on your anxiety, improve your confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping. With the right support, these patterns can improve. Please don’t hesitate to seek help—you have already taken the first step by sharing your concern. Take care.

It sounds like you’re trying to escape uncomfortable thoughts and feelings but the temporary relief is leaving you feeling more anxious, confused and trapped. The focus should be on understanding what’s beneath these behaviours rather than just stopping them
Next Steps
Work with a psychologist to understand your triggers, gradually reduce screen time and build alternative ways to manage stress
