    Hi guys. I did 68 days of nofap and 58 days of monk mode. But still anxiety(social anxiety and general anxiety) was there, it did not disappear. Then i left the monk mode. Is this normal that anxiety was still there?

    Everyone is different, some people could benefit from NoFap in anxiety but some people will not get cured by it at all...

    Nofap is not a miraculous medical treatment for anxiety, although it could potentially help some people but not all.

  5. It could be perceived as normal as the journey of nofap is not an absolute cure all. I still still experience awkwardness and anxiety even on long runs. I just slowly wake up to what I need to know to battle it.
     
  6. I think people overstate how much of an effect NoFap has on anxiety. For me, it doesn't make anxiety go away, it makes me more clear-headed so anxiety doesn't bother me so much. I would strongly recommend you keep going and also work on what triggers anxiety in other areas of your life.

    It makes me more clear headed too but not about anxiety topics, anxiety was still bother me too much. Then i thought that 58 days monk mode is not enough. I need more days.
     
  8. Yeah there's a good chance you do. 90 days is just an estimate. Make sure you address anxiety in other ways.

    Short answer is - yes. Wait untill full recovery, which is 90 days, or even better - 120 days. Then, if you still have anxiety you might consider this as a problem.
    Also, it is extremly important to check your lifestyle.
    Do you exercise? Do you eat healthy? Are you doing cold showers? Do you abstaing from gaming/watching tv/smoking weed/smoking tobacco/drinking alcohol?
    Do you have supporting friends to hang out?
    Are you praying/going to church and/or meditating?
    All these things affect your recovery in some way or another and it is vitally important to adress them.

    Bro my nofap was 68 days but not just avoiding porn and fap, it included also full dopamine detox. This detox included avoiding sugar and good diet, avoiding internet,pc,phone,social media etc. My detox score was 58 days and nofap score was 68 days. Maybe only nofap needs 6 months but with dopamine detox was it enough for anxiety goes away or reduces?

    I was doing full dopamine detox, not just nofap. My detox was 58 days and my nofap 68 days. Was it enough to reduce or eliminate anxiety?

    It can be eliminated somewhat, but not completely. Also, recently i went to good traditional chinese doctor, and boy, o boy.
    He healed my body in a matter of 1 week. So, if there is one in your area i strongly recommend to go to one. They way more andvanced to western doctors.

    Maybe you need to deal with anxiety especially? In chinese nofap group there is a huge misunderstanding that if you start nofap,everything can just go right.But you know, that's not true.One same feeling of anxiety may have a thousand different cause, I guess you need to find your own cause.

    I can but how many days for decreasing anxiety? I need to know. Normally thats 90 days or 6 months but maybe mine should have been less because i did dopamine detox(healthy diet, no internet, no phone, no tv, no game, no porn, no masturbation). Maybe dopamine detox is faster than just nofap.
