In withdrawals, do you get massive digestion problems, insomnia and huge anxiety (pressure in tummy)

Hey dude, that's not something I've noticed but I'm still only on day 8 so haven't made it as far as you. Has your diet changed since you started NoFap? That could definitely have something to do with it.

As for sleeping, I have been meditating every evening since I started and that has actually helped me to sleep better than I did before. Might be worth trying that and seeing if it works for you.

Well done for making it so far, I hope you keep it up!

 

I have been using an app called 'Calm' which has been pretty good. They have a free 7 day course, you just do 10 minutes a day. I recommend trying it if it's something that interests you.

 

I'm sure withdrawals could cause the anxiety part, and it shouldn't last too long. Anxiety can also cause an irritable stomach. A few years ago before I started to quit, I had bad anxiety, and every time I was in a quiet classroom I had an uncomfortable feeling.

As for insomnia and general other feelings. I would look at the basics.

Are you exercising several times a week? Eating healthy foods? Alcohol to a minimum? Sugar to a minimum?

Those things I found all drastically effected my recovery. If even one of those things is off, you may want to start there?

 

Withdrawal brings discomfort because it initiates change, this bring issues you already have to the surface, so you notice them.
Digestion problem is digestion problem.
Best way to address digestion issues, is with vegetable juces and consuming more vegetable for few weeks.

 

Withdrawals are the same for me, but I'm handling them better than I have previously, more aware of what they really are (brain connections trying to get me back to comfortable habits). However, I am still learning and only at the 2 week mark as of a few days ago.

My anxiety came from thinking I was different (victim mentality), and focusing on what everyone in the room thought about me. Truth is, they probably didn't think much at all about me, unless I was talking to the class or something.

Anxiety used to trigger my stomach to cramp (and make annoying noises), which in turn made me more anxious. A vicious cycle that contributed to me leaving one course I was enrolled in.

I broke that cycle on 2 fronts:

1: I became a lot healthier, junk food and lack of exercise can really effect your mood and heighten anxiety!

2: I decided to really dial down how much I cared about peoples opinions of me. A book that helped here was 'the art of not giving a f*ck' by Mark Manson.

Hope this is helpful in some way.

 

Yes, withdrawals can be absolutely brutal.

Masturbation/ejaculation is commonly used to self soothe, so when you stop it, your actual anxiety kicks in.

 

in short I could say yes this is all a possibility. The frequent bowl movements and indigestion could possibly be from
The increased anxiety and stress. Even so now I have troubles with anxiety, depression and stress. Before nofap I felt like I was a really calm person. I had depression but not stress or anxiety. I didn’t let much stuff bother me.

So now if your really stressed and anxious you could be making yourself sick to your stomach also.

Something I do daily is drink a shot of apple cider vinegar with water. That really helps stomach issues and there is plenty of other benefits as well. But you have to get the raw unfiltered kind with “the mother”. I recommend a brand called “Bragg”.

And for the insomnia heck yes! I have that issue still sometimes. Also from increased stress and anxiety. I would recommend if you don’t have health conditions your aware of to take some magnesium supplements for bed. That helps calm the mind and body and can help sleep. I take Natuerlo Magnesium glycinate and you can get that off Amazon. Best of luck to you!

 

OMG...I have exactly the same symptoms....

 

I have insomnia at very beginning. Now only anxiety

 

Hey. How are you now??

 

They could be withdrawals, because abdominal issues are a known symptom of PMO, I have faced the opposite of your situation for a long time. It was a symptom though not a withdrawal. Not everyone here has the same symptoms. If you are too worried check on a Dr, it could be something else. Also check on what you eat that could be a art of what you are facing.

Insomnia is a known symptom and withdrawal in Nofap, it will resolve by time , just focus on a good daily habits

 

Nice to here that. I am also suffering from insomnia, stomach pain, dizziness, blurry vision. So i asked did your problem fixed or not.

 

I had the same problem that you have, it will pass the only thing I'm still struggling with is digestion problems

 

Hey bro I'm in pathetic situation myself...I think everyone experiences some symptoms but in my case I think that Im am experiencing every symptom...I really wanna talk

 

You are not alone. I am also having many strange symptoms that hard to explain. These symptoms are just keep cycling. I don't know how long it will take to recover. Just stay strong and don't relapse. Because relapse make the situation even worse. Make a list what symptoms you are experiencing.

 

I'm currently on day 40.I will never even think of relapse I'm that frustrated....
These things have become my daily struggle now:
1)brain fog
2) digestion issues
3) nauseous feeling...not able to eat properly
4)from previous few days.. experiencing wet dreams every alternate day...really sucks
5) anxiety
Today I'm definitely going to a psychiatrist
