To answer your question. Just abstain from PMO altogether and the chemicals should re-balance and you should start to feel better gradually. "excess dopamine results in the adrenal glands overproducing epinephrine and putting the body in a prolonged state of fight-or-flight stress,"
Dp/DR is like being stuck In a loop of fight or flight mode.it is normal to feel it here and there however, not all the time.
What do you think about using computers and watching tv shows, will this affect rebooting these dopamine receptors? There doesn’t seem to be an answer for this...
Masturbation and pornography over-stimulates your brain A LOT. I highly doubt watching TV or looking at a computer screen could possibly cause the same results. Needless to say that doesn't mean you should spend your time looking at a screen. You should try to be productive.. I suffer from DP/DR myself and I'm currently on day 5. I will keep you informed on how I feel if you wish. One thing I know for sure is that PMO was solely the reason for my DP/DR symptoms. My childhood was perfectly fine, nor was I depressed.. little did I know excessive and prolonged masturbation could stress my body out so much. This time I will recover for sure.
Sounds good, I don’t use computer too much, usually more on the weekends like 6-8 hours, but weekday I work and I try to limit computer when I get home, so there’s that. Yes please, tell me how things go for you. I wish you the best. Peace love and positivity to you brother
Anyone here know from their own experience, if doing exercise in the gym consistently eliminates the brain fog quicker or no?
Based on my experience, I train soccer everyday, high cardio, strenght with loads, dont do any difference in the symptoms, it just keep your mind busy, nothing else. The brain fog is very strong like at the beginning. I'm getting almost 90 days streak. We just have to wait, stick with nofap, wait and wait and wait. Its the price my friend, hurts a lot I know. Keep strong boy, maybe take 6 months.
I feel it should be called brain lag not fog. A fog isn't coming into your brain but it certainly is lagging when people claim to have brain fog.
Yesterday I had one of my worst "mind fog" days, I feel maybe my problem isn't PMO related which scares me, I feel more motivated and with more energy, yet yesterday after work everything went to shit, I kept acting as if I was retarded forgetting what my gf told me 30 seconds ago, not thinking about obvious stuff and just being generally stupid. Really worried seeing progress in other aspects yet this has been my worst day since even before starting NoFap. @TimeToChange59837 , any word or advice?
I'm feeling the same. We are on the same boat brother. I have been In a flatline ever since day 1. Based on my previous streak after the flatline things get ALOT better. You are probably going through a flatline. I'm certainly going through one along with withdrawals.
One thing you should remember is that DO not masturbate no matter what because it makes thing a worse. Trust your bodies recovery system and keep your mind occupied.
I do feel less libido but I still get random boners, my mood is not bad either, just a little worse when I'm around my gf but that's due to the relationship's current friction, I do not think a flatline describes how I feel, I would love to think that things do get better, I'm afraid I'm not cutting all my unhealthy habits and developing new skills in order to fully recover as I'd like. P is out of the question, so are videogames and social media, all I do is work and spend my free time here, other than that I do stuff with my girlfriend and our dogs, I do not feel that I'm moving forward
As I said in my comment above, maybe it'll take more than 90 days, the roof in my case is 9 months, if nothing change after that time, maybe try another thing, some buddies need more , there are lot of cases. I'm here if you need talk. Hug
So, which are your symptoms.in my case never suffered of ED foro example, all mental. Everybody os different
A year ago i couldn't M without P. and it drains me of energy and even though i want to stop i keep going back to it.
