Feeling empty/stressed/anxious all day except in the evening ?

Well someone who is fighting an addiction would get mood swings, feel anxious, depressed at the start. This is the period of withdrawal when the brain is complaining and making frantic pleas to restore the addictive stuff that is slowly being taken away.

It's good you are feeling better in your evenings. It must be awful to feel low just before bed time.

 

I've found this too! Even before I started PMO – I've struggled with depression and anxiety before and it faded as the day went on. It's common. I think it's because we feel pressure in the day to work well etc. and then when the sun goes down, we feel a bit more relaxed.

 

First, it is entirely normal to feel like this in the nofap journey, but it will change and pass, it is only temporary.
Your brain which has been flooded by dopamine because of porn, has become desensitized to any other normal stimulus, so this make your mood low and give a sense of depression.

But be happy, this is just a temporary condition, and shows you are making progress on your journey to freedom from porn.
You brain is rebooting and resetting itself, this takes time, and like a computer that you repair, it is necessary to take it offline for a while to replace defective components.

Cheers for now.
