Welcome! If you keep reading here, you will find others whose experiences will track with yours. I didn't have much anxiety or depression in my 60 days, thus far. I'm glad you are here. I hope we can help each other.
Great to see that you're finally giving NoFap a try, always have a look at people journey's your age, you may find others who share the same withdrawals as you and if you find it difficult, don't hesitate to go on forums and ask for help, this community will serve you no matter what. Also having APs can make things a lot easier especially if it's a good group of people
Chk5 -- well, you can read lots in my journal, here: http://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/aiming-for-success.41257/ But, briefly, I would say that I feel more peace, more self-control, more self-respect, and more balance. The desire to see porn, fantasize and fap doesn't rule me.
Couldn't resist sharing it.. After years(!!!!) I am able yo make eye contact, without any trouble.. To the ones I am talking to.. Earlier it seemed like a task.. And yes, this includes females as well!! This "fasting" is working like a magic for me. I just feel like.. I came to know about nofap 2-3 yrs back.. Why didnt I gv it a try then.. Things might have been different :'(
Day 23...Feeling more in control, more enrgetic to do things and positive.. Could not resist fantasizing about someone I know.. But not porn.. Not at all!! To put it simply, I am being normal again by some percentage( and realising how pathetic I have been for the last few years.. Thanks to my daily habit of viewing digitally stimulating vids and images)!! I am Being Optimistic again. What a difference no pmo has made.. I take a vow here.. Once I recover from this bad habit, I will pay my debt to the ones who came up with the fact that how porn is ruining the young generation.
