5 Months of Monk Mode: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Hey Fenix! I believe you are doing great and you will come out of all of that in a bit more time. Just keep at it and hopefully your leg is healing up and doing better. I can understand how bad it can feel if you cannot move around as much as you want in the middle of all that is happening right now. My anhedonia while still on first monk mode didn't go away until about for or five months. Now I can actually listen to music and feel happy but it was hard there for awhile.

An hones question and not sure if anyone on here or anywhere else has this problem but I feel like I was born with and never diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I believe now I used PMO to hide this but never knew it before. I have never gotten a test up to this point in my life for it either. I still find it hard to want to be in a relationship and have had chanced the last four months going on dating websites. I am thinking of getting with the General physician and getting this checked out.

 

Hey, may I ask you what do you think is responsible for your brain fog? I always thought that would go away with more willpower and selfcontrol and less PMO.

But congrats on your achievement! Hopefully you will get to bad and ugly away aswell! Are you very social or unsocial?

 

That's not the amazing superpowers and woman attraction they talk about, right?

 

If it is worsening consult a Doc.
non- selective beta blockers should help you from anxiety attacks,
because I am taking those prescribed by my Doc.

 

Noooooooo. The bad and the ugly.....

 

Those panic attacks are related to rhinitis or respiratory problems?

 

Wanted to ask you too lol.

Been having pain in one of my knees. Sure it is not in the best condition due to playing bball while overweight yet some time after quitting pmo its been aching all over and no matter if it is bent, streched etc even hurts while lying in bed sometimes

 

take glucosamine sulfate, it’s extremely good for joints!!!

 

I had the same issue during nofap. First time august 2018.
Last time last week.
Couldn't breathe, heart rushing, legs shaking, being sure i'm having a heart attack.

Doctors found out i have rhinitis and hypertrophic turbinates.

I think i found out my problem, which is gluten intollerance. Try to take away gluten, sugar and dairy from your diet.

 

Maybe you are just clumsy...
5months and a half has been my record. I haven't had that many accidents, but I have had mood swings. Sleep problems. Irritability. Anxiety. Depression is still ongoing. Somehow, if you think about PMO as an addiction, then it makes sense that you're going through all this. You are weaning yourself of something.

Sure, you are going to get it replace by something else. But hopefully not as damaging. I can look back amd appreciate it for the pleasure you get when you masturbate, particularly if you're not in a relationship or you don't get to be intimate with anyone. It sucks. And it sucks going through this and still remaining alone. But the truth is that I haven't had a health social upbringing with girls. Never knew how to talk to them, and I am usualy shy around them. Stop PMO is not the magic bullet for it, but it is up there on the "self improvement" part of my life, along with stopping PMO and go out to meet real girls (went out once.... :/ )

I guess it also gives you space to notice what else is there to you. Maybe you may actually have depression, or anxiety. Maybe your flatline just means that you are not younger as you once were...

As for energy, can't complain, but I always enjoyed swimming, cycling, and now going to the gym and stuff. The discipline to work on energy for other things is also something that will have to come from you. But there's only a tiny ammount of will power I have per day, and currently I am sort of using not to relapse.

 

Are you eating dairy? Sugars? (Beside fruit sugar i mean)
Do not eat anything with gluten, check everything before eating.

Try not to eat cereals at all, maybe only some whole rice...
