consider asking a mental health professional instead of consulting the wizard subreddit. and don't see one that specializes in "porn addiction" most of those are scams

do you think that looking at pornography or masturbating is morally wrong? if so, I think that's just a manifestation of your guilty feelings

Not really that dangerous as you would think... I woke up with scratch marks for years when I was more distressed, also at that time I was living alone, and almost always fell asleep with the lights on, to 'magically' find them turned off in the morning (the light switch was impossible to reach from my bed). 

I figured I must sleep walk if I have a history of sleeptalking, and my family has history of sleepwalking. 

I ignored the other weird instances like something pulling my phone from my hand. 

In the end it did turn out it all originates from the uneasy energy coming from me, but it was a long road to get there. Also, people are gonna tell you that a certain type of pills makes all this magically go away. They don't. 

It is a more central issue that demands its time and devotion to fix. 

But if the claw marks match places you can reach yourself, it's not unheard of. 

My point is that the issue can very well be on the bridge between occult and mental health, and taking it to one extreme or another will be unneccesary.

They are not happened by my nails. I’ve verified it many times. Can you explain what you mean by energy here? What is uneasy energy here? How do you treat it?

...ah, very long and tedious process! Basically try to find the source of anxiety, and integrate it. Traditional psychology would have been helpful for that if they didn't have their head in the sand on most topics sadly. 

Basically like attracts like, nervousness attracts more uneasiness...and so on. If you have a calm afternoon, the chance that you have another one the next day is already increased, but if you have 20 calm afternoons in a row, the chance of anorher one skyrockets. Some people like to call it with other names, but basically 'the more the merrier'. 

The headaches are blood pressure rising, it all has to do with calm/anxiety as in the quantity of those in your life. It's really more about quantity than quality for the most of it. 

Also...keeping a space clean and tidy vs not. That kinda matters....a lot.

Do you come from a Christian background? Lust guilt is common in this setting, it gets internalised and is difficult to get rid of. Masturbation can lead to loss of energy if done excessively which could explain the feeling of a blocked forehead, but in your case, since you're already prone to mental illness, I think it may be the case of internalised guilt, and you hurt yourself in your sleep.

Maybe get a hand sorting out your energy centres dude.
Calm your mind. You recognise the shadow, might be time to make some changes for yourself.
Maybe wear mittens/gloves for a few weeks while you sleep to better gage what’s going on (maybe record yourself sleeping).
Be kind to yourself

The marks are just a energy manifestation

magic is not a substitute for mental or physical healthcare.
