    Im 52 days into NoFap, I had severe withdrawal symptoms around 4-5 weeks, but they subsided.

    But now at day 52, Brain fog is less but all the withdrawal symptoms came back again,
    Severe anxiety, depression, no motivation, insomnia, panic attacks, low libido etc.
    Since I always used to put a lid on these feelings earlier , like -
    • when Im panicked - fap
    • when Im stressed - fap
    • when Im depressed- fap
    • I began to use fapping as an escape to reality and my emotions, since my body doesn't know how to deal with these emotions and is extremely sensitive to these symptoms so I feel them even more but I will manage , I will fight it through,

    I have seen improvement just before these withdrawal symptoms came back, I had good sleep , return of libido (very slightly) but its like my brain saw that and immediately put the brakes on my healing and prevented me to going back to normal.​

    However, I know that these withdrawal symptoms are only signs of healing, im not going to give in, because the more I fight - the more my dopamine receptors will become sensitive again , so the only way to get cured is to fight and fight and fight,
    eventually these symptoms will fade away and my dopamine receptors will reset themselves and I will be back to normal.​

    I would have never continued this journey had I had not been a part of NoFap community, thanks guys :)

    You are healing, when you experienced first symptoms you improved,
    and now you are again feeling withdrawal symptoms what will happen? OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL IMPROVE.
    just hang in there, only good things are waiting for you ahead, dont give in.

    Thanks :) I will try my best to not give up, But I don't know how long I can hold off because the withdrawal symptoms and then the urges are coming on extremely strong. It's becoming increasingly difficult to hold on to this, but I will try my best :)

    Bro bruh, I remember reading an account on YBOP, and he said that he thought he was originally flatlining, but got an actual flatline at Day 60.

    Are these symptoms the same or different from what you had last time?

    I dont know bro, I have been having brain fog as long as day 10 of my reboot and it reduced today, today I had less brain fog,
    But today, I had other severe withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, depression, shaking, sweating etc , however they went away soon, I still have no energy, no motivation as if I again hit the flatline,
    But yesterday, I saw some improvement when I got a tingling feeling and a slight boner while thinking about sex and I felt the need to touch a woman,
    so as soon as I started improving, my brain again gave me withdrawal symptoms so that i cave and start fapping,
    but i wont, because i know if i dont fap and fight this urge and these symptoms, my healing is going to get better,
    and my dopamine receptors will get resensitize even more,
    the more you resist the urges = the more healing
    the more you fight the withdrawal symptoms = the more you gain sensitivity of dopamine receptors.

    I think it could be like a hangover from the train incident yesterday? Did you take a cold shower when you were experiencing those symptoms? That's when I'd normally take one. It's also like cold water can't get cold enough either, but it's a good time to take one and get your thoughts under control.

    Hey brothers, i am here to let you all know that the more you tough out through the severe withdrawals symptons, the more better you going to feel in the long run. Your brain right now is trying to make you fap in any other way, it is up to you to not give in to it. Im telling you from my experience, after all the crazy shit ive been through from the withdrawal sypmtoms, i still have not gave in to it. Right now my severe withdrawal symptoms and flatine are slowly detensifying/getting weaker alittle as the days go by. I feel in the present moment, i now like going and soaking up nature, i feel in a chill and happy gigglely and calm mood after the anxiety waves go away. They come back still. its totally worth the withdrawal symptoms, now feel like everything is going to get better it just needs time. Promise me all of you brothers and the community, that you will not under no circumstances, relapse, no matter how scary and difficult it gets. You can all do it, it just takes time.

    Sup Sharky, glad that you're still going on your reboot. Well the shitty sleep definitely happened to be as in wide awake at 2 in the F'n morning. I'm sure all of these symptoms go away in due time. I'm just hoping it's soon.
