its wrong to feel kinda of jelly reading some of these success stories but its happening.

Aside from the some benefits I'm receiving from nofap, it seems that I've been getting really sick in ways I haven't before, since 90+ I've been waking up every morning with a huge brain fog and headache like i want to bash my head on the wall, I have a temperature and fever, really tight throat, dull chest pains (mainly in my right chest), frequent urination, bloated feeling and gas, poorer appetite, jaw tenseness and one of the worst ones being back and neck stiffness. All this got amplified 2 days into my 90 day completion, perhaps I need more time to recover and my body is kicking into high gear as I have been thinking alot about 3 of my fav porn stars over the past 48 hours or maybe thats the wrong way of rationalising it and it could be depression & anxiety that comes along with the abstinence of fapping and porn. Its real crazy how I feel that I have so much potential to be great in my life and even an influence to others who share similar goals yet Im handicapped by something while I read countless 90+ days stories and I see other people who have more success than me.

Im not complaining Im just vomiting my thoughts here, if you can relate please share otherwise please don't give me any lecture I already know about nofap. (I hate when people do that)

 

To the best of my knowledge, none of these physical health issues is related in anyway to abstinence from masturbation and porn. Brain fog and headache could be, although unlikely after such a long layoff from PMO acting out. I would have thought a doctor would be the best person to evaluate the significance of things like a temperature, fever, tight throat, chest pains... Notwithstanding, well done for not masturbating or using porn for over 90 days. Don't let your guard down.

 

I was told that 90 day is just rudimentary, its just an arbitrary number to get people to attempt the nofap challenge on reddit, which what attracted me here in the first place. I can tell you that its not my lifestyle as I've made changes in my diet and physical activities in the past month, I've been proactive in getting things done I wouldn't have before but the fatigue is slowing me down. I can tell you that I didn't feel this much symptoms when I was in the 10-60 range of nofap. Never felt this suicidal or depressed in my stages either, I don't plan on fapping but non of this should be happening to me but it would be nice to get a break for once. Its one step forward and 3 steps back, perhaps its a sign to go at this pace what ever this is... well see what happens in the coming month, as negative as I sound Im still looking forward to seeing what developments are yet to come this month, for all i know this could be a delayed reaction.
