Side Effects

I am on Day 16 of no PMO.
I notice that I am having a lot of anxiety and can't seem to make a decision.
I am overthinking about even the smallest of things. I can't stop thinking about stuff even for a minute.
I keep pacing around the room non-stop. I also have difficulty completing any of my tasks. I don't have any sort of attention span. I have read about withdrawal symptoms. Is this a withdrawal symptom? My anxiety is through the roof.
Is this normal? Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Can’t say for sure but it probably is. It’s weird, sometimes I would be like that and sometimes I would be the complete opposite and have 0 anxiety. If you have a bunch of anxiety/overthinking, try doing soemthing that will distract you like working out or going on a run

Of course man, I struggle a lot with anxiety, especially in a situation like this when you don’t really know at times what’s happening or you even have doubts, the first month was terrible for me with constant anxiety about the Situation, personally what also helped me a lot was telling my girlfriend, family and friends, I know most people are scared about how’d they react , even I was because I thought my friends wouldn’t be serious about the situation but they were all very caring and helpful .

Yeah..The problem is that I live in a foreign country and I haven't built any relationships yet.
I need to work on that. Until then, I hope I can rely on the people in this forum for support.

I’m always here man, use this time to focus on yourself as well. Workout, eat healthy, get good amount of sleep. Do things you enjoy

A perfectly normal side effect. Your brain is doing flip-flops right now understand. But dont worry, you’re still quite fresh into the reboot process, give it another week or so and see how it is then. It will pass,trust me.
