Hello guys,
I finished a 40 day reboot a few days ago, and it was a mixed experience, don't know if it was good or bad to me. My background was that I was never hardcore addicted to P or M, but let's say I did it 3-4 times a week before the reboot and it was a test to see which benefits it gave me.
Week 1 and 2 were great for me, my best days of the reboot were at day 7-8 after no PMO'ing. Anxiety was better and had a lot more confidence. But after those days I was feeling worse and worse, It started with feeling overstressed, bad sleep, feeling uncalm after week 2. The stressed up feeling was weighing more and more on me, everyday I continued. In week 3-4 I had days where I felt desensitized the the world around me, I wasn't interested in socializing with women or friends anymore and I felt tired. This builded up in week 5-6, the last days of my reboot, I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks, and I felt very anxious in social situations, something I NEVER had, even before the reboot, I was always feeling comfortable in social situations. After day 40 I couldn't hold it anymore, I fapped (on porn ). I felt a relief of stress, and I felt good for a while. However I was left with the social anxiety and low confidence, in a much higher form than before my reboot, than ever..?
What isn't clear for me is what is the point of no fap, is it the goal to never watch P or M again? Or is it the goal to do a reboot and than start to masturbate on a lower frequency, what are the opinions on this?
Because.. When you don't have a girlfriend how is it healthy to not have any sexual action, I'm afraid that when I continued this reboot for to long it would have killed my sexual energy and that it would have make me more anxious and stressed than ever.
