socially anxiety getting WORSE on NoFap

Just give it time dude. It does get better with time. It's just that you don't know what to do with all the excess energy. I suggest working out. Hitting the gym uses up most of that energy. Plus you'll feel great.

 

Maybe you misfigured your horniness as anxiety?
Tell us about how you practiced NoFap, what is a full semen retention or did you masturbate too? (Without porn ofcourse)

I advice to read this forum post: http://thedaobums.com/topic/22912-semen-retention-100-days-and-my-experiences/
Take the relevant stuff and use it, everything else can be put aside. But this forum post describes very well the two requiremebts for a journey like this: a clear mind and emotional stability.

 

it is not getting worse, you just have bad days it is your anabolic/catabolic cycle. NoFap tends to favor anabolic state, you can only take so much of the anabolic state though, is not good for you psychologically and also can start to cause catabolism of other unused features, so nofap is not the only thing , not the only goal to be obsessed with. don't let nofap become your new compulsion, not fapping can become obsessive compulsive, it is same sort of thing as anorexia, evil spirits will now obsess you with not fapping whereas before it was fapping.

asceticism is found worldwide in all religions, nofap can become one manifestation of this, and there's nothing wrong with it. Life is ascetic for most. But it is the lack of love and secure feeling, you are building up your endurance of suffering to deal with the suffering of this world, which is ok but it is good to realize what the nature of this problem really is. That we suffer because we live in a fallen world, but of course much of it is because people do not love their children, but also sometimes because they love them too much or to the exclusion of others

 

I think you're seeking connections between symptoms that aren't directly related. I think there are other symptoms that causes your anxiety that might be vaguely related to nofap, but not the main reason they are there. `i can't give you thoe reasons for that, only know can find out

 

I agree with Willem. It is likely that there are other things in your life that cause you anxiety, and you use PMO to escape.

My advice is meditation, as it develops mindfulness which helps you get a clearer understanding of what emotions are behind your anxiety.

It takes time but facing and listening to how you feel is the only road to recovery.

 

Duude! finally..Thought it was just me. I felt invincible for a few days with elevated mood and confidence, and yesterday i started to feel really fucking anxious. Today i had a panic attack at work for no reason, and i felt like throwing up. Been 5 days without Porn and i relapsed today..
I just couldn't handle the social anxiety

 

my advice is give it time!

during the NoFap period there WILL be phases where your mood, confidence, and other "skills" will drastically drop. but the brain always comes back, granted you DO not masturbate or even look at P. basically just try to mentally throw away P from your mindset.

 

Bro I'd love to know the results after trying out all these guys' advises. I'm in the same boat as you right now
