    Hello fapstronauts,
    I'm currently successfully over 2 weeks in and proud of it. However there is something negative that has been happening last few days. My fears and anxiety increased. It's worth mentioning that I ve always been a scaredy cat and pretty anxious person, but that has voluminously increased lately. The thing is people have mostly been reporting reduction in those areas while on SR. Do you think it could be my mind finally tackling long repressed things finally, now that it doesn't have escape or is it possibly something else? Has anyone here experienced anything similar to this and if so, or if you have any ideas and suggestions any for of feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for reading and stay strong and be blessed.

    Try to do not to give energy to the anxiety with more thoughts that could increment the feeling.
    Let the anxiety being and try to understand: why am I feeling this emotion?.
    Hope it could be helpful

    Whenever you quit a substance that has altered your brain due to addiction, anxiety, fear and stress increase in the beginning. Its natural. They are called withdrawal symptoms. Google the term and you will find a lot of info.

    No fun , little monster makes us think we need porn to get rid of it , but it temporarily for a second relieves it , and then bam we have more anxiety and we’re hooked even more ! Give yourself 3 weeks to get rid of it , try easy Peze quit porn on line it explains the process for free, spelled wrong above site ! Give it try, like gentleman above says withdrawal. But remember water is a need , porn isn’t

    I think maybe you are just an anxious person and now that you aren't PMOing to numb yourself, you are actually experiencing the real feelings you have been hiding from.

    You may also be experiencing some sexual tension, and this is making you feel this way. Maybe try exercising or doing something fun to get your mind off serious matters
