    Yes, and happily I'm slowly remembering things that I thought I'd never remember again.

    So I'm not alone in this. Good to know! not that it's a good feeling but I think I'm happy that there is a solution, difficult as it might seem but doable.

  6. Yeah. It's really bad at some times. The brain frog is cruel. Sometimes I just sit and can't even think about things. Like I'm lost and have no sense of time or anything else. It's creepy and it fuck so many things up.

  7. Yep and a lot of tremors, shakiness and dizziness. You'll wish you wouldn't know the word porn let alone watch it. However it's only a phase that you have to go through for your brain to rewire

    Yes I guess. For me it's more mental than physical. I have no mental energy whatsoever.

    Eu nao sabia que acontecia isso.
    Como assim perda de memoria??
     
  10. Basically cortisol overload. PMO burdens the adrenal glands, which in turn secrete massive amounts of cortisol. Cortisol is known to affect memory.

    That would explain my adrenal burnout, thanks a lot for pointing this out. I guess it ruined my life and the lives of many others all over the world.
     
  14. It all starts out simple. PMO has devastating effects.

    I spent years reading up online that it has no negative effects. I don't know why would they lie about it!

    A main reason I’m trying to beat this! Only thing I can pinpoint that crap on coming from. G luck!
     
  17. There are doctors out there who care... Just need to find them.

    "Masturbation is a socially acceptable release of impending sexual desire looking for physical release. It is a complex psycho-neuroendocrine process that starts in the brain and involves many neurotransmitters and hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, prolactin, acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin working in unison. An orgasm is a very intense, physiological process.

    Achieving an orgasm is one of the most pleasurable of feelings. For this reason, men especially may frequently either pursue sexual encounters or masturbate in lieu of sexual activity. Excessive ejaculation over time can deplete the body of essential nutrients and vital body fluids while increasing metabolite byproducts. Sexual exhaustion can result as precious energy is diverted to replenish body fluids. Those who masturbate frequently are at higher risk.

    Hormone imbalance associated with chronic masturbation includes depletion of acetylcholine, dopamine, and cortisol. Thyroid hormones can become imbalanced, and liver function burdened from the excessive metabolic workload. The result is an immune system that is compromised. Frequent orgasms can lead to sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous function imbalance, stressing the adrenals as they try to stabilize this imbalance by putting out more cortisol, the anti-stress hormone. Excessive cortisol output over time can lead to low cortisol levels and adrenal exhaustion."
