Crazy drop of energy

Hello guys, my name is Kjell and I'm 20 years old.

I started my first reboot and it is going well, I don't have a lot of trouble to abstain from P or M and it is now day 28 of my reboot.

Before the reboot, I wasn't very addicted to P or M, I started to watch when I was 15-16 years old. I watched porn 3 times a week and for me it was a quick relief of stress, when I masturbated on the porn I never watched more than 15 minutes. I do this reboot together with another reboot of a game addiction, which was a much bigger problem. I never had problems with getting an erection, also with real girls.

After the first week of no PMO or gaming, I felt super good and very energetic, it doesn't happen a lot that girls would come to me when I go out, but in that weekend (after a week no PMO) 3 girls approached me and I didn't do anything for it.

Second week still went pretty good the high energy of that weekend was a bit gone, but I felt very good and I stil get strong morning wood :).

Third week, this was where the trouble came in. I had difficulties to fall into sleep and before I had never problems with that, I always go to bed at 10, but in this week it would take me 2, sometimes 3 hours to fall asleep, even when I felt very tired. The biggest problem is that I have a phisique hard job, and my work hitted me with a big hammer :p. I didn't sleep enough and I was feeling restless and tired all time, each day it was harder and harder to work properly and the people I work with and my friends started to notice.

Now on week 4, not much has changed, I have very good moments, mostly after a good night, but the bad days are still more present. I was feeling tired for a whole week, I couldn't interact properly anymore with anyone, this is what bothers me the most: my social skills decreased and I'm doubting if it's from the lack of good/deep sleep or withdrawal from one of the addictions.

I started this reboot to see what would happen and I will finish my 60 days with no PMO, but I'm doubting if it is still longer worth it, because I feel crap atm.

Oh btw: In week 4, my focus for social interaction was totally gone and i felt desensitized to the whole world around me, it was like I was surrounded by a wall, pretty crazy shiat :p

Thanks for reading and maybe you can help me a bit out





 
I'm not feeling like a big adviser, but I could say, that I'm happy for your progress and know what you mean. I guess everybody at some point has the same thoughts when fighting with his own addiction. What I could say, that if you will stop now do not make a big deal about it, but to motivate you a little bit - don't forget that if you will continue with your reboot, only then you will know what will really happen. Reset only makes you wander what might happen if you could continue doing it.

Waw thanks, this actually helped a lot. I found a list of withdrawal symptoms on yourbrainonporn:

Common withdrawal symptoms include
Anxiety
Restlessness
Irritability
Insomnia
Fatigue
Headaches
Poor concentration
Depression
Social isolation
Loss of libido (Can take days to manifest, and last a long time)

If I look at this list I'm amazed how many of these symptoms I have. I also have no morning wood anymore for about 2 days now.

Isn't it weird to have a withdrawal after 3 weeks in?
