Apathy, depression, lack of pleasure

In a nutshell - I am in the process of my second reboot. Previously I came to 73th day. At this point I am also on day 73 but I feel completely different for some time. I have been feeling apathetic alternately with depression for several weeks. Sometimes none of the things that previously pleased me does not make this pleasure now. When I read a book that I like, I feel that I'm tiring and putting it away. When I listen to music, when I watch a movie or play a game, I also feel tired and turn it off. Earlier these things were a stimulus regardless of whether I felt bad or not. A few days ago, I started to feel pleasure from different things again, I felt really fine yesterday  and today this apathy is back again. Did any of you have the same? Maybe someone can explain this process, cause I have different theories in my head.

Do you still use social media?  Social media, like porn, is also addictive and will flood your brain with dopamine, leaving none for active, healthy activity such as reading books and doing hobbies, and working. 

I deleted Facebook two weeks ago, and I cenjoy reading books again.  Reading books is a slow, gradual release of dopamine, unlike our gadgets that flood our brains, so, yeah, constantly being online will make everything else dull by comparison. 

Try deleting your accounts now that you are not PMOimg.

I have not used social media for a long time. I know how it can affect the well-being, that's why I abandoned it.

Yes it is completely normal and its also a sign of rewiring. It is painful, I learned that first hand especially the first 14 weeks. Personally, I still get small periods of huge depression, I think it has to do with the fact that abstinence makes you realise the hole you've been hiding with porn, video games etc. Here I am sitting on a wonderful afternoon and wish I had my crush together with me. 3 months ago I wouldnt even know who my crush was - free time and sexuality was competely ruined by PMO.

Stay strong , they will subside with time, and you will find your passion once more.

Thanks for the response, man!  It seems to me that this is how it is.
Good luck for you, guys.

LOL excuse me I made a huge typo I meant to say first 14 days not weeks lol.

Regardless dont rely only on porn abstinence and white knuckling your addiction to see results sometimes you need to make conscious choices in order to eliminate fears and change your life. The latter is harder than the first if you ask me. Since I quit Ive being bombarded with all kinds of surpessed anxiety and fears Im still stuggling with.

Exactly, I agree. At the moment I am also struggling with anxiety and fear sometimes but it's getting less and less. It's a matter of rehab, but also of my actions. I try to accept everything that comes also notice any good that comes from the reboot. Meditation helps me in this.

Returning to the topic - apathy has passed, I started to enjoy things like talking to people, various activities, etc.
I know that reluctance will probably return, perhaps apathy and depression also, but such moments as now show that everything is going in the right direction.
