Withdrawal is kicking my ass

I have had over 50 symptoms my last withdrawal. Anxiety and deep dark depression the absolute worst. It started at day 7 and I still have them. We are all different tho. Most guys only get 3 weeks withdrawal and then they start feeling better, others like me, are going through PAWS. (Post acute withdrawal syndrome) a withdrawal stage that starts after the acute withdrawal that can last months to a year or sometimes longer. But don't worry, most guys are lucky not to experience PAWS

 

a question is it possible to keep this on low levels
i mean like by keeping your self in good mood ?

 

Man I felt anxious and irritable for like 15ish days when I quit. It definitely gets easier as time goes on but that first 3 weeks drags out bad. I lasted 60ish days on my last streak and it was one of the longest periods in my lufe. Having said all that on the otherside I feel fucking great now. Less anxiety than in living memory (I used to be medicated for it) and feeling better than I have for years. Stick with it buddy

 

Check out the threads I made about withdrawals. I experienced everything you’re going through and more, including a plethora of physical withdrawal symptoms such as heart palpitations/chest pressure, dizziness and stomach issues/poor digestion. Withdrawals can be brutal. In fact they’re the very reason why I have yet to make it to 90 days and beyond.

 

Drinking and PMO don't mix. Just exaggerates your symptoms and anxiety. Try and go easy on the booze and social life if you can for a while. You will feel better for it.

 

If you're anything like me getting blasted off your tits the next day will give you a raging libido and feel like your essentially cured. Try and limit your drinking and hydrate yourself with water. Playing with both is like playing with fire early on in recovery.

 

This is actually withdrawal symptoms..our body is used to pmo pattern and when you are abstaining from it ..now it is getting adjusted to the new pattern...so it takes time..the things that you are experiencing are all part of adjusting towards new Líféstyle...so cheers ..take any medical help you need ..sleep more ..avoid day sleep and sleep at night minimum 8hrs...eat fruits and syrups if you feel tired...go man...dnt stop...these are all part of your addiction...

 

All I can suggest besides asking for medical help or drugs such as antidepressants is to change up your lifestyle. Fill in the void and the depressive episodes with something else. Go outside and release some adrenaline, endorphins and dopamine. Do exercise, go out and see people, just go for a walk with headphones on listening to something if you wish. By the sounds of things, I believe that as you keep persisting with this, you'll come good in the end. Also don't forget to eat. Force yourself to eat a bit more than what you feel comfortable with. I personally have developed anxiety from sexual trauma recently, and have been losing my appetite quite a fair bit, but I need to force myself. Trust me, becoming underweight like me is not something you want to do.

If the depression becomes too much, however, talk to a medical professional about it and see what needs to be done. If you need to be prescribed medication to control the episodes, then do so.

 

I still experience withdrawal effects after 3 months :/

 

The mind is fickle. It doesn't want to change. What it's doing is giving you an excuse to stop changing yourself. You must therefore keep on fighting. It's good that you managed to overcome the urge earlier, and you should keep doing that to make yourself and your will stronger.
I wouldn't say that you shouldn't go out, despite the anxiety and withdrawal. You should go out again, but make sure you're with someone who at least understands that you may experience an episode. It's embarrassing to have an episode like that, and I know personally how it feels, but you must change your environment, too. Changing an environment and getting comfortable in new places will help your brain's plasticity to mould to something much better. By leaving your house, it removes most of the temptation (unless if you're shameless about masturbating in public, which I wouldn't think so) and allows your mind to focus elsewhere.

 

Going through the same thing you are and I’m on day nine after a terrible relapse. I’m struggling to stay on the straight narrow too but this is the hard point and I keep telling myself that things WILL get easier.

 

Hey, just remember you're not alone. We share very similar symptoms, and my sleep and appetite have been severely affected by the anxiety that comes with resetting and subconscious sexual stress. 7 hours of sleep is okay, you needn't worry too much about it, any less though, and you may fall into a trap. I'd say take sleep when you can get it, and keep fighting the thoughts.
If things don't get better, seek professional help. There's no shame in asking for someone to help you through the struggle.
