    i am on day 6 of nofap and i think i am getting really bad withdrawal effects such as alot of anxiety and no energy plus depression. will this go away? i been edging constantly also and i don’t know whether or not i should keep going and reset since i heard edging messes with your brain.

    my urges are so powerful now that fasting and pushups has no real effect on it

    Bruh if you have been edging is already day 0.

    And the reason you have those urges and withdrawals is because of edging.

    Not! Edging is worse than masturbation...you keep spiking dopamine in the brain...that's why edging feels good, plus you prolong it. You deceive yourself if you think you'll ever experience any kind of progress or recovery by edging. You remain a serious addict even if you can't get past 3 weeks. Edging won't be a recovery tool for you.

    I have given my opinion, I have no further things to say. You are on your own.

    Do not reset and do not edge. You feel bad because of edging.

    ok thanks. do you know what i do to control my urges? i try doing pushups and fasting, but they don’t work. fasting worked for the first day or second day but that was about it.

    Surf the urges. Maybe go for walks. It usually get easier after two weeks or so.

    Keep yourself busy! If you are committed enought, you can beat the urges. It's not easy, do not touch at all even for a second

    Edging is the worst thing you can do for physical health especially anxiety because it creates a huge burden on the nervous system. Do not do it, ever. It only leads to one thing and one thing only, relapse.

    relapse and reset is the same thing right?

    This is an extract of "getting started with NOFAP", which i suggest you to read:

    "Relapse vs. Reset
    There’s a difference between a “reset” and a “relapse.” While these terms are often used interchangeably in the NoFap community, the mental health care community would draw key distinctions between the two terms. “Resetting” means you have failed to reach a goal you have set yourself, and you need to reset your day counter on the NoFap platform back to the first day. “Relapsing” is a more serious issue, involving a return to previous - or even escalated - problematic behaviors and their consequences. So for a porn addict, one occurence of using porn can be considered both a reset and a relapse. But for one occurrence of safe, non-harmful sex without the use of porn in NoFap’s “Hard Mode” rebooting program, mental health care professionals likely wouldn’t dub it a “relapse” since having sex is a healthy human behavior. Partnered sex during a Hard Mode reboot might be considered a “reset” since you didn’t reach the goals that you set for yourself."
