    I am sorry that you are going through this. I also used to have issues with frequent urination. The problem went away after several months of continuous abstinence from mastubation. If you still masturbate, that's something that needs to stop. Also, there are doctors that can help with these issues. I hope you see a doctor.

    I also have IBS but that may not have anything to do with PAWS. You can't blame everything wrong in your life on PAWS or PMO addiction. See a doctor. Talk to a nutritionist..figure out the dietary issues. It is very important.

    With respect to irritability and mood swings, there can be other issues other than PAWS. I would advise to see a therapist. I get professional help.
    Depression exists outside of PAWS. You may be dealing with mental health issues outside of the PMO addiction.

    Do you get regular exercise? Regular exercise helps with relieving PAWS symptoms. I try and walk 25 miles (40 km) per week. Every time I get exercise it improves my mood. When I am depressed, I cannot exercise. It is a catch 22.

    There are plenty of other tools that can make life easier in PAWS. Unlike what many people in this thread believe, PAWS recovery isn't just "time and abstinence". There are plenty of actions you can take to facilitate recovery.

  3. Avoid thinking this way: " PERMANENT " - Try to stay strong, we're in this togather, however long it takes we will try our best! The symptoms you mentioned are similar to mine, you're not alone.

    This thing will take time and the secret to succeed in it is to be Patient - Remember:

    Time and Abstinence is our only way out!

    Have you seen a doctor about the frequent urination issues?

    I went to a specialist over a course of two years. Antibiotics, prostate massage, electrode treatments, needles.

    "Time and abstinence" isn't going to fix anything if it hasn't worked for years.

    There are ways that help recover. Sitting around and doing nothing, and praying for "time and abstinence" isn't going to work

    Ended up relapsing today after looking at instagram girls, looked this morning and then had intense urges all day, ended up looking again and MO'd to their pics. This shit is so hard its incommunicable

    Im considering deleting all social media in full until I heal, Im at 5 year mark of trying to heal and its just as hard now as it was in the beginning. I dont see how I get through this, the urges and fantaseis when they come are so intense, and my default pain of being alive is very high, not going to spiral but since my last relaspe/wet dream 2 weeks ago, I can feel my will power shrinking

    It's insane!! if you know exactly when it will end, it wouldn't matter even if it's 5 years, it's not knowing when or whether you heal at all :(

    What exactly is stopping you from addressing this issue with an appropriate doctor, nutritionist or a dietician? Whether or not IBS started with PAWS, it needs to be addressed.
    PAWS isn't a catch all for all of life's problems.

    Maybe seeing a doctor for your health issues should be the first thing that you try. When people run into health problems, they normally go and see a doctor.


    When I ran into PIED, frequent urination, and other issues, I ran to see a urologist.

    "Time and abstinence" isn't going to solve your problems. "Time and abstinence" means "let me sit around and do nothing and wait for things to magically get better".

    I can't maintain long-term abstinence from PMO and still use Psubs (i.e. social media). Social media is addictive trash. I am yet to meet a PMO addict in a long-term abstinence that still casually browses Instagram girls.

    I have 236 days in a row, no PMO, no sex, by the grace of God. I could not stay abstinent if I casually used social media on a daily basis.

    I am sorry. It was not the meaning to be rude. So frustrated of this shit. What about the flatline? I mean if i am not horny at all i can not force anything to happen? But yes you are right, i have besides the flatline damage my organs that maybe should make me go to a doctor..
     
  19. There are coutless people who made it through PAWS:

    Google: People who made it through PAWS NoFap Reddit.


    You'll see a list of people who made it after years of patience!

    Anf they all say one thing: We feel the Super Powers! It's like we've transported to a new dimension in which we feel different capable pf doing and achieving everything we set our minds into!

    I personally refuse to believe such statement - I'm sorry but this is the shortest road to giving up!

    I won't ever EVER lose hope into this! I'll stick to it even if it takes me 10 years or even more, This is my final battle against Pr0n Addiction.

    Keep in mind that, everyone who sticks to this till the end will succeed!

    There is really two options to this:

    A/ Fight with all you can till the end and break free from the addiction.

    Or

    B/ Relapse and live the rest of your life as addict.

    Are you sure you haven't had orgasms in 2 years?
    Even sex with a girl can keep heavy paws unchanged.
