    Extra:

    1- Poor assessment of risks, dangers (Not studying for an exam but feels OK)
    2- Lots of frustration, preferring setting and being sad instead of trying and working to solve problems.
    3- Feels like everybody is rude to you, while they are not
    4- Criticizing everything, even if it's minor.

    Yup. Agreed. And during those surges, I don't know what to do with myself.

    Does anyone get akathisia like symptoms from Nofap?

    I mean those real weird sensations that make you want to cross legs, than stretch them, then cross them again, etc. Also feel it in my back now and then. Often comes with a knot in my stomach and fear/anxiety for no reason

  6. Sounds like Moro reflex, it is a primitive reflex.

    "This is sometimes referred to as the startle reaction, startle response, startle reflex or embrace reflex. It is more commonly known as the Moro response or Moro reflex after its discoverer, pediatrician Ernst Moro. The Moro reflex is present at birth, peaks in the first month of life, and begins to integrate around 2 months of age. It is likely to occur if the infant's head suddenly shifts position, the temperature changes abruptly, or they are startled by a sudden noise. The legs and head extend while the arms jerk up and out with the palms up and thumbs flexed. Shortly afterward the arms are brought together and the hands clench into fists, and the infant cries loudly.[10] The reflex normally integrates by three to four months of age,[11] though it may last up to six months."


    Or bad side effects from yoga/meditation.

    Well I'm not an infant haha and I dont do yoga... Have you been reading about akathisia?
     
  8. I hoped so you are not infant! :) Those reflexes can resurface after brain trauma, as I read.

    Akathisia is a movement disorder characterized by a feeling of inner restlessness and inability to stay still.[1][4] Usually the legs are most prominently affected.[2] People may fidget, rock back and forth, or pace.[5] Others may just feel uneasy.[2]

    I thought about moro, because you said you want to cross your legs, then strech them!

    There's many forms where akathisia can express itself in. The movement part is not that prominent with me. You can find many, many stories on www.benzobuddies.org with varying degrees of seriousness.

    The symptoms (and the seriousness of them) I find on that website are much closer to what I am experiencing than what people are describing on this forum. But then again, my porn use has been extreme in the way I abused it with hour long edging sessions etc.

    But still I hope some day I will find more people like me who have (had) these kinds of serious symptoms without ever having touched a benzo. There are some symptom lists of people on here that come close, though. Like yours, Big Lebowski's and SleepisLost's.

    As I have these symptoms that are 95% like benzo withdrawal without ever having taken a benzo, I am looking for more stories like mine. It's a very hellish path to walk alone without being sure it's "just" withdrawal from PMO edging.

    Irrability, avoidance, isolation, then after you fight that stuff off back to normal

  12. Dizziness that feels like you're being pushed around by other people. It's definitely PMO related as when I PMO or watch sexually stimulating stuff it goes away for a while but returns a day later worse than it was prior to watching.

    A uncontrollable and weird belly discomfort, followed by this wild need of PMOing... I don't know if anybody else feels this, but sometimes it's really difficult not to give in to it.

    -agoraohobia
    - ears cracking and popping, tinitus
    - social withdrawal, isolation, social
    awkwardness
    - physical tension, especially around the
    head, in the arms and legs
    - slow digestion
    - multiple food intolerances, weak
    immunity
    - low body temperature, cold extremities

    Anyone here experiencing lightheadedness (feeling like dizzy but actually not) and noisy stomach on Day 80++ with NoFap?

    Relapsed 1 week ago and I've read somewhere that T will peak on the 7th day or so based on a study. Is frequent urination (which I am experiencing now) a sign that I'm releasing it from my body?

  17. How can you be 80+ days as you say NoFap and have had a "relapse" one week a go?

    Why do you think these symptoms are related to your sexuality in general?
    Maybe milk you had in your coffee yesterday was not of the finest quality

    Right. But, those relapse were no Porn involved or should I reset? i just want to check the symptoms.
     
  19. I just pointed out what I see as lapse in logic nothing more.

    My actual advice is to not give much though to your symptoms, you can write them down if you want, in detail and move on.
