I also have experienced increased anxiety, which has persisted (and become slightly stronger) 7.5 months after moving.
I have noticed increased anxiety in myself. I think it quite possible I already had most of it before the declutter, and instead wrapped myself in comforting mind-numbing internet usage which obscured it from me. Another person who has done the declutter, reported similar suspicions about themselves.
This has some interesting implications: The worse the problem of wasting time on the internet is for you, the harsher your measures will need to be, and the less you will want to carry them out (except in lucid moments).
This doesn’t ring to my experience. Everything became easier when I said “No reddit”, as opposed to ~”Reddit if I can find a good enough reason.”
I have an additional pet peeve about this post: It has the words “cost-benefit analysis” in the title, but doesn’t have a cost-benefit analysis in the body (at least not of the juicy expected-value variety)!
Please don’t use those words if you’re not going to deliver ;-)
I included eg the Facebook usage meme (which is the real output of a CB analysis), and described the results of other analyses I did. I think the analyses were so lopsided, and the solutions so clean, that assigning numbers would be a distraction. Also, the point of assigning numbers to personal-utility-estimates is, I think, to throw them out after you do the estimate, and do what your updated gut feeling says.

A psyche might start
cutting itself, if it is
not dulled each fortnight
