    I have like no sense of humor really, no emotions. It sucks. Any quick way to improve this symptom next to NoFap? I hate it.

    It happens, it's supposed to be the period in which your brain is healing itself. Just wait and you'll have the best mood ever : )
     
  3. Maybe it is a cultural thing.

    I'm on day 46 and still feel like emotionless. Like the first 10 days i felt great. Lots of energy and just happiness in general. But now i often feel almost depressed. Wich kinda sucks, could it still be my brain healing?

    Yes, if we have been jerking off daily for years and years bathing our brains in chemicals and seriously fucking up our dopaminergic systems it will take a while for the brain to heal itself.
    How much time? I have no idea, and honestly I don't care, because I know that my brain needs to take as much time as he needs to heal, he already has a lot of work to do in the healing process, I'm not going to put more burden and make it harder being impatient, this leads to frustration.

    I'm on day 58 and sometimes I feel totally emotionless like a robot, other times I'm getting feelings of enjoying life that I haven't felt since many years when I was a child/adolescent. This will take time, ride the waves and don't go back to where you were before because it's going to be even worse. I mean, when I used to pmo it was a living hell, I don't know about you guys, but I prefer by a hundred times being in this temporal "shitty" state than go back to where I was.

    Be strong.

  9. I’m glad I’m not the only one whose going through this. I’ve lost a great deal of sense of humour, wit and generally a delay most of the time in social cues. I never was like this pre porn addiction.

    How about dark humor? The effect is subtle but if it's there it's probably a good sign.

    130 days and you still haven't improved? Damn, makes me fear for my future.
     
  13. It passes. Sounds like a flatline.

    Its part of withdrawal. Part of the price we pay

    Isn't the lack of sense of humor just from dopamine being fucked up in our brains?

    It's very very good.

    Message to my brain:

    Make me feel as shitty, irritable, grumpy, bad and fucked up as possible, don't be shy and do it, do what it takes. Make this body feel the unbearable.
    I'm very sorry for having done so much damage to you, the suffering that I've created inside this vessel (and also outside because I've been unable to help the people around me) makes me want to cry. But thanks to God this is reversible.
    Now the train has to stop, and it also has to change direction, obviously this takes time, it's not a simple and easy operation, but now the driver isn't intoxicated and crazy, now the driver is clear and conscious, and he will without doubt help you.

    Sincerely,
    Atman.
