Serious Diary of quitting porn - Week 2

[tired as fuck]

Previous week: https://incels.is/threads/diary-of-quitting-porn-week-1.883331/#post-25079238

14 days in, the first temptations have appeared, but they weren't too hard to stave off. As for last week, I'll be detailing how I've fared.

1) The temporary ED resolved itself, I am able to get an erection again;
2) Still, very very low libido. If before quitting I jacked off 3 times a day for a total of 3-4 hours on average, now I don't feel any urges, even when I stumble upon pics who would've excited me before.
3) I've had exactly 2 moments where the temptation to watch porn appeared, as a result of moments of boredom, but I managed to stave them off and occupy my time in different ways.
4) My hunger is slowly going back to normal levels, but I still find some difficulty in eating a full course.
5) These past 2 days I have had moments of dizziness, slight vertigo and nausea. I do not know whether it'd be fair to attribute this to quitting porn directly, or to a combination of heat + low hunger making my blood pressure and glycemia drop.
6) The apathy has slightly waned off, but is still there.
7) I find myself stimming more frequently than before quitting porn, which is kind of to be expected during downregulation.

I have read online that the worse symptoms and temptations start to appear after about a month of quitting, I guess I still am in the initial phases of downregulation.

I haven't really substituted porn with any activity, I mostly LDAR and sleep (the heat is unbearable). Will resume studying for exams tomorrow doe, that should give me a burst of dopamine and serotonin.

questions and insults are welcomed.

probably, but each one needs to realize for himself what porn is doing to their brain, otherwise, much like any other addiction, the chain binding you to it cannot be broken

Legit no reason, just didn't feel it. My uni was cancelled due to protests in Serbia so I was alone every day doing nothing, and I had just joined this forum so was blackpilling hard. Ig I was too deperessed to do it.

Did not expect this from an avowed anti-religiouscel, but if it's working keep it up

It's ruining my energy levels and focus. Time to monk up

I don't mind religious people but when they start proselytizing it irritates me because they treat as objective truth something that isn't. The ones who irritate me most are the pascal wager types. Faith is supposed to be something deeply personal, not a utilitarian stance.

Might as well give it a try then.
