Severe panic, derealisation, and obsessive fears

Hello everyone.

I've just spoken to a doctor and have been prescribed zoloft for my symptoms.

My mental health issues seem to be seasonal and always start around this time of year, and my IBD is also going through a severe flare up, which is likely the cause of these issues.

I'm on an 11 day nofap streak right now as well as on a dopamine detox, but because of my mental health problems, I'm really not noticing any benefits right now.

Should I still do nofap or should I take a break?

 

Benefits from nofap? They do exist but they are smothered by these other issues I'm experiencing.

 

The usual, but as I say, they're muffled by my current mental health issues.
