Dear, fellowship of fapstronauts, This is my fourth day with NoFap. At the moment I'm feeling nauseous in my stomach and have the feeling that I have to vomit. I realy wanted to relapse, so I took a second cold shower and a walk outside. Most of the horny feelings are gone atm. But is this one of the symptons that you get when your putting a halt to this habit? Have anyone of you experienced this phenomenon? Let's keep eachother inspired and motivated, Peace, Cyanea
It may happen sometimes. It is the dopamine that causes that trouble. Masturbation and porn increases level of dopamine in your brain, but now after 3 days it may be too low. That causes all the trouble. You just need to wait untill everything goes to normal. More info about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine#Nausea
Thank you very much, Mukul Taha. That nauseous feeling is gone! I'm realy thankful and appreciate that your helping me out on this. That wikipedia page you send me explains a lot about dopamine. It realy is a horrible addiction! I whis you good fortune in the days to come, be inspired and motivated!
My whole story is horrible. My brain seems to completely ruined from PMO. Complete list of symptoms I experience at 9 months of nopmo: visual snow, afterimages, blurry vision, DP/DR, dizziness/lightheadedness/feeling like flying/beeing on a boat, burning skin, muscles hurt, fatigue, clogged ears,tinnutus, palpilations, frequent urination, insomnia, irritability, sensitive teeth, gum pain, bad taste in mouth, bloating,sneezing fits ,runny nose, drying out from inside(especially nose and eyes), cracking joints ( I am not joking!), no memory, no concentration. Extreme nausea actually went away for the most part after months.
This sounds extreme! How's your diet, are you doing sports? What have you done to counter these effects? Are you also experiencing the benefits of NoFap?
Diet has never been better in my whole life during these months. I work out and go jogging. It was so Bad in the first 6 months that I could not work out at all or run a mile. I take cold showers and meditate. I took a bunch of supplements and still take some. I socialize as much AS i am able to but it is mostly meeting with friends. Still it is pure hell on earth. Still getting wet dreams. Nightmares almost every night.
That sounds terrible man! I'm also dreaming more, but no nightmares. At least you are doing whatever you can! You can be proud of that!Maybe you should talk about these syptoms with your friends or a docter. If you have not already done this... Hopefully these symptoms will go away. You have already a long streak on NoFap, 273 days! Congrats with that! Be in peace!
I'm getting the unsettling dreams, but not the nausea. For me the no-porn streak and a real 'get healthy' phase have kicked into gear at the same time, so I'm eating less and exercising more. Good luck!
