It's a very subjective thing so you can't really expect to replicate someone else's experience. If masturbation had bad effects on your mental state prior, then obviously you will feel like stopping it improves your life. On the flipside, if it didn't affect you negatively, or even affected you positively, then stopping it might lead to opposite experience.
In that aspect there's also more than one solution to the problem, such as limiting the amount of times you do it or changing your perception on it in general, but if stopping it has a positive effect on you then all the power to you.
