Started nofap, on day 3 now and weird range of feelings

Hey Bud,

I am in the same boat as yours. It's been more than 3 weeks for me, and my dick is lifeless too. I guess the brain is starting to rewire all the loose ends and bringing the hormones level to normal. It looks like because we have fapped so much in our life that being horny became a norm rather than an exception, and now we don't feel normal when we are actually so. I think this is just a temporary phase and it shall pass too.

Secondly, don't be so anxious about your success. The more anxious you are, more difficult it will be for you to achieve it. Channel your restlessness into recreational activities like exercising and sports. Trust me, you'll feel a lot better and you'll also get better sleep.

Lastly, it's completely normal if you have developed a crush over an actress. It shows you are up for social interactions and relationships. Just be sure not to have it as a source of relapse, and you are absolutely fine to go.

 

Yeah, after a while of doing nofap I developed anxiety and worry over petty things. And also I began getting a lot of crushes and stuff like that, because my brain began thinking of having "real relationships" etc, rather than just thinking about sex and stuff. Don't worry bro, after a while, u begin feeling amazing, u just gotta stay on track and be ready for when u do "come out" of the flatline phase because during that time, things get hard (no pun intended lol).

 

Going through very similar. It sucks. I was almost through a year, thought I was ok, that i was done with this crap. Then relapsed, again and again. Now withdrawal again. Same weird symptoms as you.

 

My withdrawal symptoms got worse as time went by. Developed insomnia, extreme anxiety, ocd compulsively thoughts about my health, weird physical symptoms like feeling cold when it's super hot weather, sex dreams, porn flashbacks, nightmares about disturbing sex acts, headaches, feeling aroused for no reason, falling in love and fantasizing about celebrities, etc.

Now because im a woman don't think these are PMS or period related. I get these both when I'm on my period and when I'm not, it only happens when I abstain from PMO. When I PMO I feel nothing wrong, everything's ok. But after I stop for a few days the symptoms are back!

It gets better though eventually. I think it was half a year in when the withdrawal symptoms started lessening. But I have been addicted to PMO since I was 7 years old, so I've been pretty messed up for most of my life.

Sometimes withdrawal symptoms happen immediately when ceasing the addiction, sometimes it happens after a few weeks, or even a few months. I had a streak before with no withdrawals happening until a month. Most of the time withdrawals for me happen immediately, especially if I've had continuous relapses binges in a short period of time.

 

Damn, that's quite the childhood. Not many girls begin watching porn till a late age and a lot don't watch at all. That's so shitty that you get those symptoms simply from abstaining from it.

 

You are feeling real emotions and are in a flatline. All perfectly normal and part of the process.

 

Don't worry about withdrawals, I had all of those horrible symptoms that I wanted to commit suicide but I have done this.
I cried, depressed and hopeless and now each day getting better than before.
Its just a start for uhh, u will face even more worse time but remember those feelings r temporary.
All d best
