    Hello,


    Im 2 weeks in my nofap journey. I recently have this depression like mood and i feel a lot of anger, im far more agresive.


    Right now i got out of the house and im sitting on a bench. I want to cry but i can not. Im starting to question all my life, my friends, my shitty job. Its like i realize now how unhappy i am with my life. I am not even really horny or think about porn.


    Is this normal? Is this going to vanish? What is happening with me i never could imagine what nofap would do with me, is this even something related to nofap? I dont know.


    Good luck

    Many people use drugs or PMO to escape from reality. Get free from the drug and your reality hits you hard again. This is on the short term a bad thing, as a lot of negative emotions arise, but on the long term it´s a good thing because you an see clearly now. Always remember you have the power to change the course of your life!

    two weeks? Your counter is on 388. Anyway I will think you are at two weeks free. I think what you are passing throught is the abstinence syndrome, so beucase of that you are depressive. Try to keep calm and go for a walk or something that get your brain clear.

    I feel the exact same way! It is a roller coaster ride and it’s insane. I have been trying to quit all year and keep resetting. I have made it only to 35 days. My hornyness hasn’t gone away. Almost the opposite. I’m so sensitive and I can get off without visual stimulation no problem. But I still the negative affects of Mo even without P. More depressed and angry than I have been. I have had some moments of energy and happiness but it fades. It’s mainly extreme fatigue, depression, aches and pains, anxiety, stress, and lots of other symptoms that has come and gone.

    On top of all this I am going through a marital separation as well. So life is incredibly hard. And my escape, P, keeps trying to call my name but I know nothing will get better with doing that. I need to keep progressing forward.... I would be lieing if I didn’t say I haven’t had suicial thoughts.

    For me that phase lasted about 3 months. It's going to be up and down for a while.
     
  13. I agree with those who have said that this is reality biting. It does not mean that your life is bad, but that the weak spots that you did nothing about owing to your PMO addiction have now been highlighted. Just take stock of what feels bad or wrong and see how you can improve them.
    Think of it like going to a gym and seeing how unfit you are: you just need to get advice from a trainer and start improving yourself from where you are at. It's not a cause for anger or grief, but a call to action.

    Hello, it is good you talk about your anger,

    For me it is the same, I have a lot of anger if I dont express my self I dont do/tell what I have in the heart.

    I used to not express myself, to be innactive, because I found it is not possible to express in my situation in the society.

    I create a discord group, we can talk about what we have in the heart : https://discord.gg/SPAM REMOVED - REPORT TO MODERATION
     
  16. Are you out of the flatline now OP?
