Why do I feel mentally worse the longer I reboot?

  1. It's like more than 2 weeks right now since I'm doing NoFap

    I still have zero urges, but I start to feel like crap. It's an inner unrest, I constantly am not able to simply call down and chillax.

    It's absolutely impossible.

    I still want to continue NoFap because I got to such a point that not even a relapse is something I'd be looking forward to. I mean, I started NoFap because I realized how silly and stupid we look if we PMO (from a third person perspective), and this has been my major motivator.

    But what should I do right now, I am in such a fucked up mental state

    You’re in flatline. As am I. Have some patience with the process of change and your recovery towards healing. Let this be an obvious example of the problem. What I mean is...the use of P is an ‘instant reward’ with no ‘seeable’ consequences or real work involved.

    Let’s be real. Change is hard. Delayed gratification in achievement of success is hard. But our mind has been literally rewired chemically and behaviorally to want the instant reward without putting in any real work. I have said this all day... read ‘Your Brain On Porn’ by Gary Wilson. It connected a lot of dots for me about what is going on behaviorally and chemically in this situation. Relax have some self compassion and you will be successful.

    Don’t quit

  6. Thanks

    I feel better now. But only because I always feel better if it's dark outside.

    I have some sort of a sensory overload problem, I can't cope if there is bright light, because then all the visual details fall into my eyes at once

    But If it's darker its OK
