Extremely anxious in my 4th week off P

  1. Hey guys,

    I don't know what's going on with me but since the last week, I am feeling so anxious and very bad. It's been 27 days no P and since the past week, I feel so nervous and anxious for absolute no reason. I can get upset for the smallest thing possible. There's an extremely depressing weather outside since a week and that doesn't seem to help me at all.. :/ I really don't feel great these days and I was wondering if any of you are experiencing something similar after around a month off PMO.

    Anybody experiencing something similar?

    I struggle with anxiety often. Removing P from your life is opening you up to experience all the emotions you avoided by using. It takes practice dealing with these feelings but it does get easier. When you feel anxious try bringing your attention to your breathing and just spend a few minutes noticing what breathing feels like, what it sounds like. Let yourself explore your anxiety. What does it feel like? Where do you feel it?

    All feelings are temporary. Good luck and congratulations on your success.

  3. I feel it around my heart and my stomach. During the last week, when I felt this way, I started writing a journal and today too, I wrote. It felt good to write what I feel. There's this chick I've been talking to since some time now and I realize that when we talk, I feel much better.
    Thanks for the answer, it's nice ! :) I just beat the 25-day streak I made this year a few days ago and honestly, usually I would think that porn would be the solution, but now I don't even bother at looking at all. I drank a lot this week-end and it didn't even push me to watch porn. Right now, I don't even care about P and I know it's not what's gonna help me.
    I want to reach a very huge streak. I have a goal of not PMO'ing until June. After that, during the summer I'll be travelling and it'll be much easier.
