    Hey guys, man I’m going through it rn. I’ve read loads of posts on here so I decided to make my own cuz it’ll help me and others that read it later. I’ve been a heavy addict since I was young. I had one girlfriend when I was 14-15 we had sex often but after that we broke up and I never managed to get another girl so the serious porn Hobbie began. I am now 22 and over the last 6 years I jerked it often. Made the flute sing, beat the chicken blue my usage was heavy. I’m talking twice a day average sometimes as much as 5 or 6 times man I can’t even recall I did it so much. I did so much some days that by the last time I couldn’t even get hard so I had to beat at light speed. I swear my right arm is bigger because of all this meat beating. I’m so ashamed. Thousands of nuts, trillions of my dna babies gone to waste. I’m so ashamed. That and marijuana usage definitely destroyed my love life. I was awkward with females all the time oh how awful it was and is still. So I took a stand. I tried often for the past 2 months to stop but I constantly only made it 5-7 days. So at the end of August enough was enough. The time was now and I was going all in. I asked the lord for help and willpower. I decided maybe I’d be able to not go back if I let this ship set sail with a proper farewell and bought a pretty hooker ($300) and called it quits. It was eh she was tired but hot oh well I guess that’s what I get. We fucked twice then just sat there and talked for half an hour. Poor girl I wish she didn’t have to sell her body she could definitely find a good man she’s still only early twenties. I’ll help them one day. But never the less it was hard mode time. So it began September first. The first 3 days were honestly SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION. I was like yeah this is gunna be cake. Oh boy was I wrong. After that extreme anxiety hit first... I would sit up at night buggin about my ambitions and current situation. I constantly felt wierd and my chest felt odd to the point that a couple of nights I thought maybe something was wrong with my heart. I went to the doctor. Ekg and exam went fine and I could tell they thought I might be going mad. After that Things would usually be fine during the day I would slightly be on edge sometimes with anxiety during the day but it wouldn’t last long and I would go about my daily routine which is mainly exercise and am trying to get in real good shape. I don’t work atm so all I do is yoga workout. I had a wet dream on day 7. day 12 I edged but stopped myself and did not bust I was so ashamed I just wanted to make sure my dick worked but realized soon this was just my mind fiending for it. A huge panic attacked followed. Thank god I didn’t ejaculate or else I don’t even know how I would’ve felt. almost every other night when I get home and get in bed by myself the anxiety spikes and I feel horrible. I have this constant urge to shake and I feel an odd sensation around my body feeling light but it’s not light headed it’s odd more like I’m falling. I feel mad. Sometimes I feel kinda light headed Ive had headaches maybe twice a week this all took place from day 6-24. Wet dream on day 22. I felt really good for two days during day 25 and 26. Then boom day 27 and it’s like I have the flu. Half the time I feel alright but the other half everything is going wild I have this pain pressure that circulates my head it’ll be at my temples then the top then the back then my brow ridge. I constantly feel odd My stomach is turning I had some diahrrea for this week one day it’ll be good then the next diahrrea like today it was good but now at night my stomach is grumbling. The anxiety is insane I’m over thinking everything. the depression is horrible I’ve sunk so low I analyze all of society and human existence oh my. it’s so odd this feeling. I constantly think I gotta get a girl but then realize I shouldn’t even have sex at this point cuz my brain may be so fucked up from this constant dopamine hits multiple times a day. I haven’t been eating well these or sleeping well for days 29 30 31 and today 32. My sleep has been horrible these days my sleeping schedule is comeetely out of wack for like 5 days because of this. I feel so restless and uncomfortable all day. But then I’ll feel good for like an hour then back to feeling bad. I am going to make it through this. So here I am sitting here with this pressure going around my head farting loud stomach grumbling feeling anxious as fuck pretty depressed and weak but I will stay strong. Hopefully this post will help others if they are going through it like this just know your not alone. I’m down to chat on here I want to hear if other people are feeling the same. Damn man I feel like I’m coming off dope or something. I wonder how long this will last lol some post of people feeling similar after hard addictions say awhile oh well. See I’m starting to feeling abit better rn. Odd feeling in my eyes though. How’s everyone’s day?

    Tough time, that you are going through. But believe me. You are not alone. Is it your first streak that's longer than 1 or 2 weeks?
    For me my first streak that was longer than 1.5 weeks hit me like nuclear bomb in terms of withdrawal symptoms. I had it all.. Physically and mentally.
    It got better after around 5 weeks. Much better. And then I wasn't alerted and more and guess what... Relapse.
    So I had to go through a lot of that shit again. After another 8 to 9 weeks I was doing so great that I lost awareness again. Relapse.
    That was now 25 days ago. And guess what happened. Yes withdrawals again. Not as severe as the first times but painful enough.
    Go through the phase and embrace it as on the other side you will see and love all the benefits.

    Wow Our withdrawl symptoms are so identical. Especially feeling so bad and panic attacks, then feeling good but only for about a hour and then it coming back. Best of luck to you. When I first started my journey I also had a lot of doctor check ups and they found nothing. I still think about going now. I recently found out my blood pressure was high too. It varies from 130/79 to sometimes it got to 140. I have never been told anything about high blood pressure before starting nofap. Always around 120 at the dr. I would be curious if you had it as well. It has to be from increased stress and anxiety from nofap. I’m 31 and exercise and eat pretty decent. But starting today I am starting to cut out caffeine also.

    My blood pressure was normal when I went in but that was a couple weeks ago so maybe it has changed now. I too exercise a lot. I’m relieved to hear others have felt similar. wow 8-9 weeks until you felt better the second time that’s impressive you made it through that. I had a wet dream last night. although it is not masturbation I’m worried about these affecting my withdrawals because I wake up feeling fine the days I have them like right now I feel good physically but I know come tomorrow it won’t be the same. Anyone know the secret or have thoughts on the wet dreams? I’m worried they might pick up and start happening more often.

    All I can say is thanks guy for posting this. I'm on day 39 and my withdrawals are almost constant hell. I'm an absolute fighter and go to spinning everyday putting on a huge sweat, and I'm even taking buspar. However, despite all of this the anxiety somehow surfaces almost each day. I had about 5 really good days maybe days 30-35 and then the anxiety returned full throttle. No panic attacks yet, but lots of uncomfortable OCD thoughts, troubles sleeping, waking up anxious throughout the night, and nightmares. I hope you guys stay strong. I'm again almost doubting if no masturbation is actually healthy. I mean the science is still rather doubtful, not in regards to porn but in regards to masturbation. On the other hand if this is what abstinence causes, then something must not be right.

  6. I have faced literally all what you have mentioned + the high pressure problems and fast heartbeats. I went throw 5 different doctors and all they hinted is I have anxiety and stress. The withdrawals have started to clam after day 31.. but some will stay and come and go. Unfortunately I am struggling with edging and this has worsen my progress. Keep going and dont relapse at all, this may make the withdralwals harder next time. Also focus on calming your mind, and avoid any stressing situation, any tension. Because our bodies are already stressed.

    I feel like these wet dreams are a problem they just prolong my withdrawal symptoms when I have them
