Am I the only one who gets less energy on NoFap, not more?

Yeah, its normal! Your brain need its dopamine, and if you dont give it, you are gonna feel withdrawal symptoms, like fatique, no energy, no motivation, depression, brainfog, anxiety, etc. That can be a long phasis, depends on your addiction level. I was a huge addict, 9 years PMO, in which last 4 years hard addiction to PMO, and Im now 377 days and I can still feel all of these, because its PAWS (post acute withdrawal symptoms). There is a progress in my reboot, my PIED gone, but there are ups and downs in my life, plus I live a really stressful life. But it will be gone, look back how severe is your addiction, and you can approximately calculate what time you need to fully heal your brain. If you stuck in your feelings, like these withdrawal symptoms, you wont be successful. You have to accept this!

 

Man I feel you, I’m mentally, physically and emotionally drained and it sucks because I never feel I can catch my breathe and life keeps at me. It’s debilitating and it’s saddenning. You gotta stick it out.

Just as the person above said and also, your body is recovering so it’s gonna take energy to recover. Take it easy when you need to but you also need to exercise and get out and talk to people a little, try not to be a recluse, but I understand, I’m currently a hermit and I can’t do anything with people. Talking to people bores me and I’m uninterested, which makes my responses bland which makes me anxious but you gotta try to get a little better everyday. Keep going brother.

 

Listen to me. Almost everybody lies. I am in 87 day no pmo and dont feel any diference before after.. I repeat to everyone. You cant rebuild a house for 100 days if the house have been build for 10 years. I trying to say that we need a long time period. 50-90 days is just a begining. Of course depends how many years you did PMO.

It very funny when I reading how someone on his 30th day has benefits : wow great skin , deep voice , eneegy , brave ... Bla bla

Every good thing takes time
Wait for it. Wait 6-8 monts to a year. dont give up.

We are better than before. Never back down.

 

First try I did was 60 days streak. Went easy but i got over confident.
Can guarantee 2 things, pmo then made me more addicted than ever AND the 60 days I went through, it bought so many great things.
Confidence, strength and the while better looking and feeling thing.
The key is to convert your need of where you get that dopamine from. In my case, it was working out. Any pmo urges, I shit you not, I used to squat 100 immediately. I started with 5 being impossible for me in the beginning. So yeah..perhaps a placebo affect but helped regardless.

 

How you deal with it ? Working out. That is what I did.

It is normal ? Completely normal. That happens when you nofap.. it gets harder on some days and easier on others. But youre strong and can control it.

 

You feel like you’ve read post about how bad people have it but you feel they are never as bad as you. I’m sorry to hear your situation because it’s tough and it’s hard to live, this isn’t living, but I’m sure you’re not the only one. So many attest to P being the problem of their mental symptoms, I’m sure there may be a link and not a coincidence
