P.A.W.S. - what are they, cure, duration

As I just posted I have had orgasm every day in flatline for 6 years.. It's so depressing... We have to do completely semen retention

 

Hey man, can you describe your visual issues? I have eye floaters and recently also started having blurriness. Doctor says the blurring is because of dry eyes.

 

Orgasms and losing fluids are no good when you're in flatline. That could put you back for weeks or months when done repeatedly in your recovery.

 

I think we all just have to do no PMO no Sex no Trigger until we are completeley recovered.
When we are recovered than we can think about if we need daily sex or masturbation but I think then noone of us would do it ever in a daily base.

 

I have hade orgasm every day for 6 years in flatline

 

This statement triggered a question that I realised I haven't actually heard the answer to.

There are many posts on this forum and others of the negative effects of using not just social media apps but dating apps during recovery. While I don't think these apps are on the same unholy level as PORN, I think it is safe to say that using these apps during a reboot can have a negative effect on your progress. What I am curious to understand is whether these apps should be avoided even after a full recovery. What are the chances of these social apps reactivating the old pathways and pulling you back towards PIED, even with moderate and responsible use? Say 'NoFap Jack', (after 18 months of recovery) regains his mental and sexual capacity and decides to go back out into the digital dating world, to look for a serious long-term partner), is Jack in danger of; a) reactivating the remaining neural pathways in his brain b) succumbing to PIED and c) inviting a brand new reboot into his life?

Simply thinking out loud here.

 

Speak of the devil, I actually created a profile for myself on AM this past weekend. So far I have several dates lined up.

It's possible that I am moving too fast after finishing the reboot but I've weighed the options and decided this is how I wish to proceed.

Time will tell if this is a smart move or not.

 

Speak of the devil and he shall appear lol

Good or bad decision, it will be an opportunity of discovery and learning I'm sure.

Hoping things are positive, maybe let us know how you get on.

 

No Covid was really weird for me. It didn’t attack my lungs or senses at all. It attacked my kidneys. At first they thought I had prostatitis, a kidney infection, or a UTI because I felt like a truck hit me and like I was pissing hot magma. That stayed for about a week then I got dizzy for a while and started pissing blood. I went to the ER and passed a giant blood clot while I was peeing there. They found It gave me sepsis. It was terrifying. They tested me for everything from infection to bladder cancer. On part of the blood panel they tested me for covid anti bodies which I was positive for a very recent case. It kinda had a lot of doctors scratching their heads but that’s what they said caused everything. My doctor said it effects different people in different ways. I had a lot of cognitive issues later like constant virtigo but I never lost my senses or coughed more than a small handful of times. My cousin had it bad and lost his senses. He had a lot of long haul symptoms but his taste and smell came back pretty quickly.

 

Hey, I posted about this recently - this is the gist of it:

Things are very slowly improving in some respects but possibly worsening in others. Been having this weird sensation recently of my eyes having sunk back in their sockets, with the consequence that I now see more of my nose in my vision. But other things have gotten better, and in fact recently I’ve been perceiving that my eyesight is a bit sharper in some hard-to-describe way.

 

@Don Quixote I’m really sorry to hear about your Covid experience and I hope you get better soon. I constantly wonder whether I might have actually had Covid too, since my crash happened early last year not long into the pandemic. But I’m reasonably confident it really is all PAWS, because in retrospect my symptoms started building in late 2019, which was presumably before Covid hit NYC. Who knows though, man.

 

I seem to be getting blurriness from dry eyes. Not sure if I should be worried about it or not.

 

Just wanted to give some inspiration to those still going on the journey.

The days somehow seem to get better and better, as if my joy knows no boundaries. This morning I woke up at 4:30 (no alarm), absolutely sharp and ready to go. I immediately went to the gym and got an intense leg workout in. The looks I've gotten from females since getting out of PAWS are different now, it is like they can sense there is something different about me. People might think it's crazy but it is absolutely true.

I'm getting ready to head out for work and I simply feel amazing. I don't think I have ever felt better in my life than I do at this moment.

No ED, no brain fog, no fatigue, no depression, no desire to view porn or masturbate, just joy!

You will not need to ask if you are still going through PAWS or not, when you get out of it YOU WILL KNOW! Keep persevering!

 

Just awesome.

 

What a motivational story!! Thanks for sharing Man, I need this, because right now I'm in the lowest I've ever been. but it's these stories that keep us going.

Keep up the good thing.

 

How have we been here for so long yet haven’t thought about starting a discord for us?

 

Nice man! Congrats, very motivational. Congratulations on making out of PAWS!

 

@Grateful Retainer that was very hope inspiring, thank you.

correct me if I’m wrong but you are also the guy who went through alcohol PAWS right. Couldn’t imagine doing this journey twice so respect for that. I think this makes you suited for my question. I drank alcohol and I’m worried that it’s affected my PAWS recovery. I was never addicted, nor got PAWS from abstaining from alcohol but concerned that taking a drug which abuses my reward system has reset my progress. I’m 10 months in for reference.

once again thanks for coming back and telling us you are out of PAWS unlike most people who get out and never share their story.

 

Everyone who see my post knows how worst iam and I'm ready for long semen retection over 3 years.. But it's possible to accelerate the process? For example I see a videoblog of a youtuber makes totat fasting for 3 weeks (I think he was totally normal no in paws) and after 1 week where he was tired he started to be happy and full of energy, color sensivity became more intense, a clear sign of and increasement of dopamine and dopamine receptors. prolungate fasting could accelerate the process I think(I hope) togjeter with semen retection.. Another thing I see some videosounds on YouTube who helps with dopamine receptors and some people repeat after few times listening this they cured their anedonhia partially or totally.. Another demonstration of increasing dopamine/dopamine receptors.

 

And I remember a post where a guy (sure he wasn't a case like us) repeat every time he hits flatline, 3 days of dry fasting and flatline was overcame.
