    Anxiety, depression - had small bouts of it before, but it is way worse when going without PMO.
    OCD-type symptoms - again, way worse when going without PMO.

    For me i believe the worst type of porn is engaging in chat rooms or simply chatting with hot girls. Im almost sure of this because two times i experienced for a week horrible symptoms after abstaining from this: depression, loss of interest in everything, loss of apetite, shakings, urges to fap, strange sensations in the body (like electricity in random parts of the body and a tingling sensation around penis and perineum). One night i woke up shaking with a horrible tingling sensation in the penis; felt like i was going to orgasm. This sensations maybe were the result of anxiety. After passing a week i start to feel better and regain my mood

    for me so far, in time order:
    nervous tension
    energy boost
    wake up early
    morning wood starts returning
    positive mindset, happy about nofap
    engaging with people
    strong urges, stronger urges
    hyper sensitivity, with ball ache and randoms
    tired, feel down
    generally annoyed with everything,
    withdrawn, bleak, disinterested
    anxiety (no pmo to ignore it)
    but still feel good about nofap because Im doing what I know I need to do!

    guess Im saying withdrawel is a roller coaster ride

    I'd add a lack of sexual desire after years using porn.

  10. Headache,
    Muscle tension in my face , forehead and between my eyes. ( I gave myself a blister trying to message out the cramped muscle).
    Flatline = a blessing and a curse.

    So many of these symptoms are very familiar to me. What I often dealt with in my withdrawal was a very strong sense of regret that I had waited so long and wasted so many years on porn. In the mid 90s, I had some issues with depression started taking Prosac and wham my ability to O without M tanked. Porn was likely the main reason. But the quality and variety of porn became more and more intense with each year and by the time I retired it was a daily issue, over and over again. I am now in my 70s and the feeling that was pervasive was regret that I could have done so much more with my life.

    Thankfully, I have moved on from the negative thinking. Now that I am close to my 90 day PMO goal, I look forward to my remaining years with my wife, kids and Grand Kids. Porn will never own me again. If you are much younger than me or even older please stick with it. You owe it to yourself and your future/current family.

    I found withdrawal symptoms only happened on my first streak of 30 days, after that, the symptoms were muted even after relapsing.

    - mood swings were really bad the first few weeks (gone now)
    - insomnia (gone now)
    - brain fog (this one is still present)
    - hungry (I think its gone now, or I'm just eating better)
    - restless
    - flatline (this one still happening)
