    Super social anxiety, angry, not very motivated to talk to people, want to be isolated, easily nervous, not very friendly, (I know all this shit is redundant), having sleep problems, REALLY REALLY don't wanna deal with anyone, let alone women, can't stress the anxiety and anger and lack of any good feeling except for feeling proud that I've gotten two weeks.

    I can relate to the anti-social feelings. Feel like I'm giving out a "don't come near me" kind of vibe!

    It sounds as though you're hitting the flatline. The libido goes, and it can make you feel really negative about yourself. This will slowly dissipate. It will get better, but you have to persist until you get through to the other side.

    It's normal. but abstaining from PMO will take the anxiety and stress away, just give it time. You can do this

    I think this happens when our usual coping mechanism is taken from us, but you're making a healthy step. Google or youtube a 5 minute meditation track, or just be honest with yourself and reflect on where your feelings could be coming from (e.g. stress, big assignment, disappointment, etc.)

    Just find a healthy outlet to relax, from working out to meditation, and then accept that you're in a tough state. You can do it

    Hey guys, thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it and really neededbit, it's not easy, I even feel like I have difficulty making sense when I talk now, like I can't reach for the right words to say exactly what I mean, very much unlike I used to, as if I'm blocked off from 95% of my original vocabulary and general intellect, I essentially feel like I have the communication skills of a 10 yr old when I'm speaking.

    Hey man I can completely understand what you're going through. Right now I'm on day 9 and I'm feeling good but I'm also having some weird things like being more closed off and I'm definitely noticing a loss of vocabulary!! I'm in school right now and I've worked on a couple papers and had a terrible time recalling words!! Strange... I can just hope that this stops eventually. Most guys who have done this for weeks or months say it gets better and better so let's hope!!

    Dude, it's soooooo insane, the bad news and good news is that I've flatlined so I don't really feel horny but I feel brain dead, which sounds terrible and that's because it is, I appreciate your feedback. I hope I start having normal interactions with people again at some point. So apparently this phenomenon isn't so uncommon huh?

    This is completely normal. This is what happens when you're readjusting the neurochemical imbalance in your brain. This is a sign that your body is readjusting to normal life. I'll guarantee you it will be a lot less severe 2 weeks from now if you stick to it.
