I would think I'm in decently good physical health. Accumulated stress is possible, but I had the entire day open to me.

It could be the system reward as you said. anyway, rest a lot while you can.
How many days of reboot you have?

7 days. Would have been three weeks, but I made a glitch. Looking forward to report I have 14 days, and then a month.

Crazy withdrawal symptoms. I'm shaking, shivering, hyperventilating and experiencing extreme mood swings, mostly feeling darkness and despair. I will let it pass through me. I wonder how long this will last. It's impossible to concentrate or get anything done.

Sad to hear that Unbreakable man. The depression is agony man as are the mood swings and withdrawal symptoms. I have never felt such emotional pain in my life and cannot tell how long it will last (some reckon it 40-50 days). I guess that is the cruel punishment we face for having gotten involved in this BS in the first place.
But keep strong man; it's just like Shawshank Redemption - got to swim through a sewer full of shit before you reach Mexico and eternal bliss with Morgan Freeman.

Ah, that's very informative. Thank you. I've experienced the mood swings before, but kind of forgotten about them till I had this reminder.
Yeah, man ... it's a punishment for many years of mismanaging our lives. In my case, probably over 25 years. As it is said, men are not punished for their sins, but by their sins. I'm a living example of that.
Update: There have been some complications. After the extreme period of mood swings, which I overcame, I needed to write. I'm a writer amongst other things. I can't afford to be unproductive week after week after week. I MO'd once, and it worked. I got two big paragraps down late at night/early in the morning. Problem is, when I got up, I also MO'd once.
There was no porn involved, just caffeine ... I know it will slow my reboot down, but I believe this is an acceptable compromise when I really, really need to write, and I can't afford the many weeks in full standstill. As long as I can keep it limited. My decision to use ED drugs to try and have sex after 3 months of abstaining from porn is also a compromise. Not ideal, but I must have a goal, this woman, and I must try to get it done now. It's a world of becoming, not being, philosophically. I know by experience I couldn't take 2 years of abstinence with no sexual prospects, and no hope. I believe this method will work for me, who is no stoic by any stretch of the imagination.

Unbreakable my man, i am also a writer (chronic fapping seems to be a part of our job description i guess ). In the past, how have you coped with brain-fog during a reboot? I have really struggled with it of late as it saps all my strength and motivation to work.
