Almost happy in the morning, depression in the afternoon, and emptiness in the night, l'm so tired of be that much morally unstable, i don't know what to do...
Look forward to your emotions settling down. During reboot, your body is making a lot of changes. You were producing a lot of exciting drugs on PMO. Now your body is adapting through withdrawal from them. When you quit, your brain quit receiving dopamine, and it is not happy about it. It is letting you know. The easiest thing today is to go back to PMO, but if you do, you will have to start over again another day. It is much better to keep going. Build on the progress that you are making. As you watch for them, you will see good signs of your body and mind recovering from your addiction. The mood swings are actually a good sign; you are making progress, and they will settle down as you continue progressing. Keep progressing in the right direction. Do not look back.
Thanks for sharing mate.happening to me also made it clean almost 2month i fucked it up again recently and relapsing again many time but i will doing it again i already experience the benefit.from my stamina.clean vision.higher confidence but still back to the bad habits.anyways wish us luck bro.all the goodness for all Fapstronauts!
I'd write a journal if this keeps going. I do it morning and nightly, but maybe if it gets bad I'd write in it every time I'm super happy or super down. That way I can reflect on the happy times when I'm sad too.
Yeah you're right, a journal is a really good thing, unfortunately i don't have the time to keep one updated, but you should do it
You just got to ride them out. It definitely lessens overtime. Urges never really go away, but you do gain control over them eventually, but the the urges surely don't come with the negative emotions and thoughts anymore. It gets better.
I already do. I'm suggesting what I do to you lol. How do you not have time to write a journal? It takes me like 5 minutes total to do my morning/night one. You have time, you just don't want to do it. How much time did you spend looking at porn or masturbating ;P?
I know that i doesn't took that much time, but i have a lot of things to do theses days, my daily training, my report about my last internship, i also have to check the deliveries of my many orders, i went to paris next week and i also have a lot do to about it
Like most people have said its normal.. Keep pushing through them and know that it's just your brain slowly healing back to its normal state and dealing with the lack of dopamine. I'm on day 36 and they are still happening. They got bad around day 10-14 and then stopped until now. When they happen I try to go outside and get some air, maybe a walk if I have time or browse the site and or write a journal. I found that the more I understood why I was having them the easier I could handle them. I know why they are happening and that I'm not going crazy. My wife is fully aware of my reboot and she knows the symptoms so when I'm having a moment she stays away or tells me to walk away. I'm not sure if that's something your dealing with as well but it's somthing worth sharing of you are living with someone. Good luck and stay strong!
Don't expect them to go away soon. I fell into that trap. I'm over 5 months in and it has only gotten worse. Sorry to play devil's advocate but expect the worst so when it doesn't happen things are better! Good luck and keep it up
Oh my God! I thought I was the only one. Good to know it's not just me. Weird how it gets harder huh?
I would say if you really want to journal but have a hard time doing it just download a journal app on your phone. I always had a hard time keeping up with a physical paper journal but I downloaded a free app (that you can lock with a passcode) and it's way easier to trick yourself into just opening your phone and writing just as easily as if you're checking Facebook. Also don't get discouraged if you don't journal every day, I think trying too hard to keep a schedule is counter productive. Sometimes I go 5 days without journaling, other times I write twice a day for a full week. Just do what feels good. The journaling helps a lot though, especially in those moments when you're really feeling an urge
Can anyone with 500 days or something crazy of nofap comment in? What does nofap hold in the future way into it?
