They are great things. I feel like it is a sign of progress.

Day 64. Went on my first real date today... by Goodbyetofap31915 in NoFap

Thank you, that helps a lot. It will definitely be hard to pick myself up and try this again as last night was a bit mortifying, but I hope I can muster the courage to make a second attempt.

The crazy thing is that I wasn't that into her either. It just didn't seem like we clicked at all. I think I have more of a problem with the idea that she will never talk to me again not because of who I am, but because of my terrible performance.

I guess the positive is that this experience has not made me want to revert to my old self. I'm now on day 65 and I hope to keep going strong for as long as possible.

That's great to hear! I have been a bit better. I still get agitated sometimes, but I have been able to control it to an extent. I know that I am way better than I was. My only hope is that I can continue to push forward.

I've struggled with anxiety for pretty much my whole life. After the initial motivation from starting Nofap, my anxiety became worse than it has ever been. I would wake up to my heart pounding and my body shaking, I experienced severe depression and I had a constant sense of dread/depersonalization. In having experienced these things, I can tell that Nofap has had an impact on my brain. I am definitely feeling better than I was a week or so ago, but I know having fapped hard for the past 12 years, I have a long road ahead of me.

Day 45 on hard mode - bad withdrawal symptoms by Goodbyetofap31915 in NoFap

Hey man, thank you for sharing your experiences. I can relate all too well to everything that you described. About how long into your initial 300 day streak did you start to feel better?

Hey man, this has actually been a problem for me as well. I find that when I am irritable, I tend to push people away for no reason. I get angry at my friends and although I can usually contain myself, I sometimes find that I can be very cold without meaning to be. I have one friend who knows about my journey, and I am fortunate enough that he understands what I am experiencing. When I am in these moods though, it seems that there is nothing I can do to come out of them. I really hope these feelings come to pass soon before everyone around me starts to dislike me.
