    First 6/7 days were easy and light-filled and quite positive....
    Have really hit a wall now - last few days. Wanting to PMO so bad, surfing around the net on the borders of the P world - haven't dived in yet.
    Mood is terrible. Very dark, hopeless, lonely with high physical symptoms of anxiety.
    Hoping I can make it - hoping this is a stage....

    The difficult part about feeling depressed during a reboot is that you stop doing all those things which could help you prevent a relapse. When we feel depressed we isolate ourselves from others and don't engage in regular self care. We don't do things like exercise, manage our stress, or foster our spirituality (if that's your thing). It's important to be aware of this and come up with a plan not only for dealing with your depressive symptoms (which may include seeing a doctor if you think it's really affecting your life) but also for maintaining your day to day sobriety from PMO. Hang in there, feeling depressed is tough, but doesn't last forever.

    Don't give up man. Go out and do something else and put your head into whatever you're doinf. It's natural to keep thinking about PmO but stat strong. Sweat it out. Go biking or a run

    I can totally relate but to this i myself feel like death all the time and forcing myself to even walk,eat or do anything these days and deep inside i still have this motivation and optimism that knows that this is all temporary and years of years of self abuse will show its side affects which might last atleast for few months so keep steering through darkness you'll find light at the end of tunnel! i must say although i'm suffering and believe me highly depressed...i'm kind of enjoying this struggle and melancholy feeling which takes me closer by closer to myself everyday and also reminds me of my mortality by bring some thoughts in my mind everyday like.... hey!i'm not here forever....how much time of my life i had wasted!...how much wrongs i've done before reaching to right!.....it cant be this way i dont have to compromise and give up all my life....i have to move!do something in life!It'll get better i have move forward even if there's no hope...etc etc so see you'll not alone :) so dont give up this easy!

    thanks Monk - I like your half-glass full approach - normally my way forward too. Appreciate it.
    i was simply sharing as i was surprised how the first few days seemed a whole lot easier than a few days ago, when i got real dark. simply sharing my experience.
    but i appreciate your feedback, and thanks for the support. peace :)

    hey Gaurav - thanks SO much for taking time to write and give me your thoughts and feedback. really thoughtful and its helped me a lot - i'm at day 14 now and moving on...
    i sense this path is really full of ups and downs - really tough - some days its all sunshine, sometimes all rain. i just hope, in time, it will be continually easier - perhaps its true what they say - you have to get to day 90 at least! anyway, i hope we can keep supporting each other - and everyone here - and onwards we go :)
