    I'm on about day 9 of NoFap and experiencing some pretty bad anxiety. I have nothing to feel nervous but about the feeling is making it difficult to eat. I'm almost certain it's due to not fapping and my brain trying to rewire itself.

    Has anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping it'll go soon otherwise I'll have to give in!

    Thanks!

    Yep it's part of the withdrawals, it always starts at day 11 for me for some reason.

    Don't give in, you're going to have to go through it at some point if you want to recover so may as well get it over with now. In my case it lasted 2-3 weeks but it's not the same for everyone.

    Yes. This was the most worst period during my rebooting process. Those urges almost felt like killing me. But after I relapsed all that was gone. After that I couldn't do any work. I was like a lazy sack. But now I have learned from my mistakes. I have tried to change my thoughts and environment when I get those urges. I started busying my time with studies and activities and this has helped me.
    I tried to change my thoughts while I get those urges. I think to myself that I shouldn't objectify women and show them some respect( even if I don't they really do deserve respect just like all of us) and then I think about my parents who have supported me in every aspect. I think to myself that I shouldn't betray them. Any way porn is not gonna help me after what I have faced over the years and I can't think of comming back to it.
    I hope the best for u
    Cheers
