    How many of you have experienced less overall anxiety from abstaining from porn? I'm still debating whether it is a placebo or if the science behind it is real.

    Please share your thoughts.

    I have noticed less anxiety since I decided to quit. I n fact, I am discovering a life that I did not know existed. I started PMO at around 15 and had a 25 year habit. To say it was a mental rollercoaster is a understatement. I don't know about everyone else but my mind is certainly healing.

    How long did it take you to start seeing the mental benefits?

    I’ve had General Anxiety Disorder since I was in my teens (45 yo now). NoFap *definitely* decreases anxiety. Even right now, my family life is tense and uncertain but I feel much less of that constant dread that I used to feel. Life is tough for me right now but it’s a more low-key kind of stress feeling, instead of the angry anxiety, blaming everyone that I used to do when on PMO. This is my second round of NoFap but I find the benefits start around the two-week mark.

    Cada día es una oportunidad de empoderarnos en estar limpios, sin Culpa y más control de uno mismo, entrar en modo Hard , no PMO en absoluto quizás para muchos sea un mejor camino para reiniciar del todo....

    I have suffered from severe anxiety most of my life and this is one of the main reasons why I stopped jerking off its been 2 weeks and I can say with good reassurance that nofap does reduce anxiety and perhaps help you completely get rid of it. I don't want to sound pessimistic because it is your brain and it does involve rewiring the first couple of week will be brutal but it will be over and you will do well if you manage yourself.
