    Today is my 7th day and I'm nowhere going close to falling asleep.

    I have tried using an eye mask, ear plugs, music, walking at night, and what not but everything has stopped working.

    I bought a melatonin bottle but I have not opened it, trying my best not to use it as I've read that one can become dependent on it.

    I may not give up and struggle for longer but I'm actually losing motivation as I no longer know what is going wrong.

    Is this a withdrawal symptom of abstaiNing from masturbation? By the way, I'm a chronic masturbator since the last 15 years and lately I have started feeling very exhausted(adrenal fatigue?), hence I chose the Nofap way.

    Also, I have become excessively sensitive and pessimistic towards my surroundings. I'm finding it difficult to digest even friendly teasing from others, and am getting offended very easily these days. I keep thinking about the same thing a million times, like its just stuck in a loop in my mind.

    I will surely feel better if I get to know that I'm not alone in this and others too have faced similar withdrawal symptoms.

    I have read journals of several people who have had similar symptoms so you are definitely not alone.

    Absolutely the same symptoms. Last night I was turning in bed until 2am then i got mad about it got up and did some administrative work until I got tired after and hour or two and only then fell asleep. Needless to say i was feeling like shit today and was sleepy. I suppose you are doing Nofap 2017 too man as it is my 7th day also. All I can say it's part of the process. I definitely expected it. When an addict stops the drug hands shake, get irritated easily all of them "good stuff". And it's not only fap I dropped - refined sugar and pc games and all unproductive non fulfilling activities according to my subjwective experince. I'm basically going cold turkey on everything and it's fucking HARD. I prefer it that way, cuz i know in few weeks it will get easier and easier and after years I won't even think about it. My body and mind will think it's natural to act so. There's this part of life where you just feel sick and tired of being sick and tired man. Now all of these past days they weren't lived 100%, the best i could live them, but i'm slowly getting there. So feel not alone grind your teeth for the better future mate, that'sd all i wanted to say. And most imporatntly keep yourself busy with activities you find fulfilling be it nofap, learning, questioning, decide what's best for you and persist. Don't overuse sites like nofap , u don't want another addiction on your hands, be more reasonable and less spontaneous.

  5. Its hard to know what is causing what in life, because there are million of diffrent possibilities, but at least i want to think its withdrawn symptoms what is causing these strange things happening on it. I get peace of mind when i have headche or such when i think its, because of this and things will get better if i manage to do this. Its also give power to stay away from porn when think i will have to go through all this again. I am having my most serious nofap joyrney now and i am day 6 now. I triend nofap 2018 but failed. Its just month thought what i missed.
