Ive had this addiction (porn and masturbation) since I was like 12 years old now I’m 26 and I accepted it.. I’m like 30 days “clean” and I’ve been experiencing a lot of symptoms.. mainly anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, zero libido, can’t even watch my gf in the eyes although she know.. feel bad or weird when seeing girls or making eye contact. I have fears and insomnia, today I woke up aggressively and anxiety instantly kicked in. The lack of libido and no desire or not being able to watch girls like normal people and Feeling feelingless makes me overthink like if I do not like girls or something like that, I know it doesn’t make sense but anxiety is so strong I feel my mind very weak, I feel guilt for everything. Ive have like “lucid” moments where I feel hungry again and can look my gf in the eyes and feel ”normal” but doesn’t last long, is like my head wants to boycott me when it knows I’m feeling better

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing a lot of withdrawal symptoms, I know it can be very challenging. I think it's important to have self compassion for yourself and be grateful for any positive moments such as looking into your girlfriends eyes and feeling normal. This is a sign that your recovery journey is beginning. After such a long time using porn, your body will take time to adapt to normal life without the high of PMO but that is okay. I think you should be very happy that you are taking the first steps on the road to recovery and 30 days clean is really good so well done! I recommend focussing on personal development and keep reaching out to friends and to the NoFap community. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me

Loved "it's like my head wants to boycott me when it knows I'm getting better"
That is so true. Thanks goodness we are not our thoughts, the head does that and it's not a problem.
