    I'm feeling irritated, unable to concentrate and aggression while on NoFap. I'm on 9th day. I've never felt like this. Every single thing around me is bothersome. It's like I have OCD or something. I can't concentrate on my homework, if a bird chirps outside, it's disturbing. I just want to put my face on the pillow and scream and punch it. Is this even normal?

    In my experience, completely normal. Ride it out. What has happened for me is that, when that experience hits, I would relapse. Then, I would go through the same thing again.

    Ride it out - do something different. Go ahead and scream and punch the pillow. Just stay away from the P the M and the O.

    And, if you haven't, read www.yourbrainonporn.com. It educates us on what's happening with the brain. What you are experiencing (which I was going through the last two days) is the brain wanting more dopamine.

    Courage!!!

    Hey friend ,

    It is typical to have these rage phases ...

    I'm on roughly 7-9 day of my current streak, the other day I was mad at everything and couldn't fall asleep up until 4.30 AM. . .

    What I've learned from nofap is that this phase is typical and it just passes after some time - haven't found a soultion for it though.

    See this as something completely natural.

    Best wishes

    Hopefully, in about 10 days, you will enter the flatline. That will be the opposite of what you've got now. Your emotions will become 'comfortably numb' and your libido will zero out. After the current intensity, it is very, very welcome. It is a bumpy ride, for sure, especially at the early stages. Keep your reasons to break this habit in clear focus and push forward.

    Yes this is normal when you are pre flatline phase. Things will go smoother in 2 weeks just stay on the course.
    All the best

    Hello,
    If I felt the way you are feeling I would try to defuse my rage by working out. For me it would be the best outlet to pump some iron, run far and fast, do pushups until failure, etc. Eventually the rage will leave and your body will thank you for the intense workouts.
    Good luck, feel calmer soon.

    Yeah its normal to go through rage and feel weird if you are not an angry person obviously, try to snap out of it with exercises doing workouts that will drain all your energy, worked for me

    Bah oui... It's normal to be in that stage at the beginning of NoFap. It is a sum of increase in testosterone levels and abstinence syndrome. Like when you stop smoking and then, after that phase you get in a kind of depressed situation. But don't worry, it is the path. Go on.

    I'm going thru that, I'm leaving my flatline now and I feel like not giving anyone the typical uber happy responses. I feel like I could stare someone down awkwardly when they want to talk about something meaningless to me
