    i start fapping when i was 16 or 17 and now im 31 , on that time i was watching porn and doing masterbation like 4 times a week but after i entered to college when i was 23 years old i quit bec i had girlfriend, also i was a social drinker , since last year i start fapping again like 3 times a week , but everytime takes like 2 3 hours browsing in porn websites and after getting on pick i masterbate , i start to quit masterbation about 18 days ago , i was very motivated , fine state of being but sometime small mood swings happend to me in a very short period of moment that i relate that to masterbation also, but i red the benefit of nofap and i decided to do nofap journey, the first 10 days it was very good , good vibe , i study very well , i cook , i hit the gym 4 times a week . On day 13 i got into flatline.. i start some sort of low energy , sleeplessness, very high level depression, anxiety attacks, body and muscle pain , shivering and sweating, feel unstable and feel so down, no appetite at all and getting weak,some sort of adrenalin rush to my hand, its like a shit , i didnt sleep for 2 days now( just 3 hours maybe and i have dark shade under my eyes bec of tiredness and no sleep) , i was almost being die ! BUT I RESIST!,almost everynight im having wet dream but i dont release( i dont know why), im doing some sort of meditation, cold shower , exercise. its like all the sadness that i suppressed in my life comming to surface and i have nothing to protect.since yesterday( day 17) im getting better , Meditation helped me alot and watching youtube motivation on flatline, sometime i feel i need to go to doctor to get some help bec i feel i cant handle it anymore but of course they just prescribe some sort of alprazolam, diazepam .. blah blah ,which just cover the withdrawal symptoms, do u think it is wise to go to doctor and take some sort of medication before bed time ? Bec i cant sleep now
    Ill appreciate if you can give some advice or according to my severity of my symptoms ( which getting less now ) how long this shitty flat line will be last ? ( i know its depend to many factors )
    Thank u all

    All the symptoms that you describe, including the insomnia, are normal. Please don't take any drugs, just stay strong and be patient, it can take some time.

    I'm already 10 months clean and still experience some bad withdrawal symptoms now and then —I damaged my brain too much with PMO. But it gets better over time, trust me. My sleep started improving after 2 months. Expect hiccups in your recovery, i.e. it's not a monotonous improvement and there are withdrawal cycles that keep diminishing if you stick to nofap.

    Thank you so much for your reply , i really appreciate you spend time to read my post.
    May i ask how severe was your pmo ? And maybe after 2 to 3 month from the start of my nofap is it okay to have a girlfriend and have natural sex ? (Kinda soft mode but i wont PMO anymore in my future life), personally i think it will help brain to rewire faster In a more smooth and natural way and one time sex in a week with a real women can little smoothen and balance the brain chemical ? , cause sudden abstaining from alcohol and pmo after too many years brought my body to a very huge shocking state which i feel it is damaging my body and emotions now and i afraid if my current situation wants to continue i cant work and focus in my life's tasks :(
    Ill really appreciate for response

    I don't know how it compares to other people, but for me it was hell. I cannot describe how bad it was until a few months ago.
    I think the longer you can abstain from anything sex-related, the better.
    Be prepared because it can get really tough for so long as 2 or 3 years until you are fully recovered. I still have some panic attacks in the middle of the night, but much milder and infrequent as before.

    This is my day 21 , im gonna share something and i wanna ask your opinion:
    On day 19 of my nofap journey, i couldn't stand the withdrawal symptom like emotional depression and anxiety attack i suffered and most probably it was bec of lacking sleep for 2 to 3 days and my brain was tired of many thoughts.. i tried some sort of exercise and running but when i go for run , 15 min after excersice being done the anxiety increased and became worse than before, its like adrenalin rush to my body and makes fight and flight my body switch on so it will trigger more enxiety.so im avoiding excersice for now but im reading online books instead. Btw at that night i couldnt sleep at all so i found no choice but to take one single anti anxiety pill ( alprazo.. 1mg ) for my body to take some rest to function at least , after taking that i fall asleep for 8 hours ! And the day after i feel much better with much less anxiety and depression,its like the sleep makes me more refresh .but i wont take medicine anymore ( it was just an emergency case and i know they will act on brain chemicals and may hinder the processing of rebooting and rewiring the brain and they are also addictive )
    My question is : 1.does that single pill affect my rebooting process ?
    ●I have another question too : everyone will have different level of flatline depend to their addiction to pmo , like mood swings (3 hour feel good but the next 2 hour feel so sad) , depression which if you say these sypmtom to doctors they may diagnose you with mental disorders like bipolar or ect , but we know these happened bec of withdrawing from pmo , and it doesnt mean we r bipolar or whatever mental disorders ..Bec we didnt have this kinda problem before quitting . Am i right ??

    Thanks for your responses

    My advice is avoid drugs.

    It's not a bipolar disorder, it's withdrawal symptoms. It's tough, and it will get tougher. You need to be strong. It between 1 and 2 to recover on average, sometimes more.
