    I felt a little more irritated today then I normally would.

    I was around a really negative family member,
    and had to storm off after a
    negative discussion.

    Has anyone else dealt with this?

    In the past, when abstaining from P and M, I noticed that I get angry a lot easier. I'm of the view that porn was an outlet for that anger, and now without it, we just don't know how to deal with the anger when it comes up. With time though, I'm sure it'll get better as we learn to deal.

    Guys I strongly suggest you go get a workout program from a personal trainer and train as oftern as possible espesially because your on nofap. You have built up sexual energy, this is why your so angry and Ive read that this energy needs to be discharged or else it will ultimately come out of your penis. Everyday make an effort to do something that can discharge this energy, wheather it be weights, biking, hiking, MMA, running, walking your dog, (if you have one) swimming, basketball, hanging with friends, etc.

    This energy will build up and build up inside of you and if you choose to discharge it with what I just mentioned you will make it to your goals, if not it will be soley a matter of will power, and trust me... Will power has a limit.

    GOOD LUCK!

    This could be the aggregated effect of retained testosterone. I think this is a good thing.

    When you're constantly PMOing you are losing testosterone, the essence of man. Testosterone cause heightened aggression, and you don't take any shit. When your boundaries are pushed you let people know, but it should be in a calm assertive manner. This calmness will start to take effect maybe two months into the process.

    At the moment you will be just a well of emotions and you're likely to snap more often which should be very different from how you normally are.

    when I was PMO'ing I would let things ride, I would let people who ticked me off win their arguments even though I was in the right.

    It's bad coming off as an aggressive retard but if you can apply 'calm assertive' overall it is a positive.

    Like others have said working out helps.

    I agree that its definitely a different feeling then I am used to after twelve years of PMO, on average two times a day. Even scarier when I calculated a number of hours, 7300 hours. That could actually be an underestimate. I worked out a little today, and a lot on Monday. I definitely feel like it is helping!

    I'm definitely a lot more pissed off than I usually am, but I'm not taking it out on anyone. I go for a walk or I go to the gym or find some kind of outlet. I don't want to take my anger out on other people because they really have no idea what I'm going through. Try and find a way to release that anger or at least control it. Exercise is always the best outlet for me and I would highly recommend it ... whether it's running or weightlifting or whatever.

    Having said that ... I usually try to avoid negative people or conversations in general. That's frustrating to deal with no matter what you're currently going through.

    I actually know a very negative person who with ease can ruin my day. I really hope I don't blow up any time soon. I try so hard to avoid people like that, but other then that I'm good the rest of the day. Hopefully I can go to the gym again tomorrow. I actually really enjoy going to the gym. I am just not sure if it will be enough to curve the craving in about a week. It just seems to be getting stronger. I also have no idea if it will subside.

    You just gotta tough it out. It's all in your head (pun not intended). I have a few people like that in my life, but I just think of it as a challenge to see how calm I can be in situations that would otherwise set me off. It's easier said than done, but I believe you can do this. Just keep the faith and persevere.

    The same is happening to me right now, but I know for a fact it's because I'm not engaging in PMO. I'm getting a lot of pent-up sexual tension and when I don't find a release I get immensely irritated. I'm taking up all kinds of hobbies that I never have before ... like singing, lol. I'm reading a lot more and when I feel like I'm going to cave in I go and hang out with friends or exercise. Find something that takes the edge off or distracts you. Preferably something that you enjoy in place of PMO.

    When I did this before (for 2 months) the irritation phase passed after a few weeks.

    Yeah, exercising definitely helps. I find that the days I go to gym I'm nowhere near as irritable as the days that I just sit at home.

    I honestly can't play video games anymore. I get addicted to video games really easily. Even games like chess and Sudoku, I thought they were small time compared to first person shooters. It turns out I get addicted to pretty much any online game, even Chess. I am definitely looking for good distractions right now. The gym does seem like a very good answer.
