41 days and still no benefits/anxiety

Hey bro I feel you on this one. I also went through the same things in the same phases of rebooting, and I was VERY concerned about my health. If I had a mild sensation in my chest, my brain would immediately tell me: “Hey! You’re having a heart attack! Freak out!”, all within a few seconds, causing panic attacks. I’ve never had them before until the rebooting process. So, allow me to give you some tips which very much helped me:
1. Reduce caffeine, stop the coffee and all the energy drinks and try to reduce sugar too, all of these things have negative impacts on the chemical composition of the brain, and can also give the heartburn feel that anxiety gives. In fact, even if you may not be anxious, if you have a heartburn feeling, your mind will assess that feeling and convince itself that it is anxious. So just stop the sugar and caffeine so your brain can recover faster.
2. Understand! Understand that your anxiety is just a projection from your head. Stop worrying about things that you aren’t 100% sure about. Stop google searching every medical condition and webmd article to see if you have a problem. Whenever you get these scary thoughts, focus on something in the present. In the worst case, it is important to understand that your body and brain actually become better able to deal with anxiety after every panic attack. Realizing that a panic attack is fully made up in your head helps with calming down. Also it is worth noting that sometimes panic attacks trick your brain into faking symptoms. For example, I once had a panic attack about my eyes because my vision was fuzzy (turns out I just didn’t get enough sleep) but my brain tricked me into having a bunch of other symptoms. That is the power of the brain. Try to harness that power to “trick” yourself to make you think that you are feeling better, not worse.
3. Find something to focus on. It always helps. School, exercise, books, anything that will help you. NOT video games, food, internet etc.
4. Be prepared. Sometimes anxiety will translate to different things, and it’s actually quite common. One day you may worry about your health, the next you may worry about your social skills, or work, or many things. But the key thing to remember is that this worrying is simply a temporary symptom of porn withdrawal. The absence of dopamine causes the brain to work in many strange ways. I guarantee you, however, that with abstinence from PMO, your anxiety will gradually go away.

Best of luck, ask me any questions.

 

In my case im always doing something i really like to do to counterattack anxiety. But watch out for unhealthy addictive activities other than PMO.

 

I have do

I have to do some confession(im going to look like a hypocrite now), i may not be playing video games anymore (and obviously no PMO either) but i do spend all day on t.v. and internet. And it's because i no longer have friends, girls, car, job, bycicle, nor the chance to get them.

 

I agree with you in that "This is the perfect opportunity to work on yourself. All the other stuff will come as you keep on your journey and first accept yourself."
And btw,
We are wrong in something, guess what that is...

 

That we do have a friend now.

 

Great! Im gonna follow you on NoFap.
And btw thanks for not judging me about my all day tv/internet thing.

You know, coffee works the exact same sense as pmo. You’re gonna need lore and more coffee to get the affect which will make you more tired in the long run. Also, people don’t think about it like this, but the energy is coming from somewhere, it’s yourself. What coffee does is block the receptors that make you feel tired and release adrenaline. So even when you’re suppose to be tired, you don’t feel it so you always push yourself. That’s asking to be burnt out, that’s asking for damage.

 

Is lots of coffee consumption, common for Porn addicts and/or rebooters?

 

Didnt think about that really.

 

Yeah you're absolutely right I'm on day 95 hardmode pmo with my wife so I'm wondering with anxiety and things like that still happens here and there but they're not like panic attacks or anything it's just more emotion I think it's getting to the Core of who I really should have been all the time. And I don't think they're actually superhuman skills I think that there are what reality should feel like all the time I'm no longer on ADHD meds or any antidepressants and haven't drank anything in 5 weeks. Is that a symptom of a reset reboot or is that the way it should have been all along. Married 33 years doing hardmode pmo zero porn zero masterbation zero orgasm no relapses got any tips for the next unknown amount of time I got to go have replaced many many habits into better habits rebuilding my Mustang, woodworking, getting much larger muscles working my PC muscle everyday it also points out the coffee maker every morning LOL any help would be beneficial thank you and I could help the other people too God chooses and my wife decides when we become sexually intimate again it's not up to me

 

Maybe, because we all tired all the time, I noticed a lot of people mention low energy, fatigue etc. but everyone drinks coffee for various reasons.

Are you asking if porn addicts drink coffee a lot or do they drink more than the average?

You should consider.

Are you still looking to heal?
