    What’s up, guys

    Today I have 365 days since I started to count. I have the impression that when my libido came back I had more desire to live. I'm not even interested in women as before. Most recently, I have no strength for anything. Although maybe it is due to the fact that earlier after work I often just rested. Now I have to learn a lot to the university. Is it normal to feel like this at this stage? Earlier I even stressed less. Maybe I just started doing something wrong.

    Unfortunately i notice my boost of energy on a streak mostly after a relapse ! On a streak i sometimes think i dont have energy , but after a relapse i get down to earth ! We often dont realise what we have until we loose it !
     
  3. PAWS mate. Some waves you will feel good and then go back into withdrawal again it takes time.

    Remind me how long you are on reboot? You seem to be a guy with a lot of experience on this. ;)

  5. This thing kills hope man. I was supposed to go to a job interview, instead I woke up with a huge brain fog blend with head pressure.
     
  6. 18 months mate. On and off Porn since late 2012 early 2013. Had symptoms since then as well. I feel a lot calmer but still have no signs of libido and my erection quality is not all there yet. Cognitively things are improving slowly. I did come out of a flatline once years ago on a 77 day streak but ruined it by relapsing and have only had glimpses of really good days.

    Don’t stop, man. Life is worth it. Porn is not worth wasting life.
    From my point I can tell you that when it’s good and there are no withdrawals it is really good and I know it will be even better.
     
  8. Oh yea for sure, I’ve seen them good days where everything seems amazing. Just without the libido though, is so annoying that me a 25 year old man feel like a 90 year old sex drive.

    I know you think it's paws, but it feels similar to what was in the beginning. Most things do not seem to make sense. It was much better. Now mainly coffee and pretty women move me. Today social anxiety appeared. I do not have strength to do different things.

    So, I take it that you have gotten your libido back in the process but still motivation is not there. Am I wrong about that..?? Your left with getting pleasure out of life then. Get a new hobby, start a different job , travel somewhere. Your dopamine is going down and you need to lift it up.

    E3 brain on supplement clears brain fog immediately and is less than $1 a day, it does a lot more for you. I am taking it and it's saving my life. No desire to act out today. Best to you.

    I dunno I find if all you do is stop PMO you get no real benefits, gotta work out and do cardio if you want to build up energy reserves and stop wasting all day sitting on your butt. Don't feel like you have the energy to do this? Well you do, your brain is just being a little bitch and needs to put in place is all. I was the same way, I had no clue how much energy I had until I changed my mindset/attitude and started working out.

    Supplements are not a cure to the problem, just a patch to mask the real one. Proper diet and a steady workout regime provides all the energy you need.

    Well, maybe but sometimes I feel bad after workout and I want to lie down on the bed. Sometimes it just torments me terribly and I have no strength, even for a mental effort. It seems to me that it does not work so well for everyone. Apart from this, I have physical work. this in itself causes me not to sitting on my butt.
     
  16. Exactly! Our addiction was so severe that it will take time for the brain to get back to normal. I can't do big work out either, not even 45 to 1h playing ball. After that I got so tired and some pain in my back. Brief, our body and nervous system are so damage that we have to take reboot lil by lil.

    Do you think that the longer the reboot, the stronger the symptoms may be? I mean that there is more emotion, and with it, for example, the nervous system reacts more strongly to lack of stimulus. Lately I feel awfully as if many symptoms have come back from the beginning.
     
  18. Man this is textbook PAWS. Symptoms come and go until you balance out either gradually or suddenly recover. I have head pressure insanely for some days then other days it’s gone. Something is going on.

    Perhaps. I just did not feel so bad for a long time. many symptoms have come and I often feel depressed additionally. Now it is real rollercoaster...
     
  20. 1-Do you still have them?
    2-How far you think or feel your reboot is?
