    Lack of focus, with similar symptoms of ADHD

    Before I was addicted to P I was able to focus and enjoy what I do (studying or working). But since I started fapping, I feel my attention span was getting much shorter. I have to force myself to stay focused while working or when talking to people and it keeps getting harder. I think...

    ADHD and porn addiction

    Hey all, I have been on the journey to get diagnosed with ADHD, something that should have been done years ago. I’ve done some research about the ways the dopamine reward system works with a ADHD brain and what I found is quite scary for someone with a clear porn addiction. People with ADHD...

    Did stopping adhd meds ruin my nofap progress?

    Im currently in month 9 on nofap, not one relapse since I started and it’s been difficult but I’ve been able to push through. I noticed some benefits month 1, I was more confident, driven, etc. But in month 2 I decided to quit vaping too, which led me into a depressive/unmotivated state for some...

    ADHD medication and nofap

    Hi guys, Currently on day 9 of nofap and was just wondering something. I have ADHD and I take medication for it, but because you are trying to reset your dopamine levels by not watching porn and wanking your dick the entire day, isn't it counterproductive to your dopamine receptors when you...

    ADHD and NoFap?

    Hi there guys! So I've been on and off NoFap for a few years with little success until very recently. I have been perusing the benifits and it seems like if you actually do nofap then it is supposedly supposed to help out with focus in social sitsuations, as well as work sitsuations. I'd like to...

    ADHD?

    Hi So I have a therapist now. We had our second session today. In the first session I mentioned the pmo/mo/fmo problem I had growing up and how I think it's the cause for why I struggle with overwhelm, dissasociation, stress and anxiety. Today we discussed ADHD and after the session I've just...

    Here we go again, male, 33

    Hi there guys and gals! Well, I have been trying to quit for something more than a year. Porn has reinforced my social anxiety, depression and general low-selfsteem. Mind you, I'm not saying it is the cause of it but it certainly reinforces all them. I was born from an unloving couple. My...

    Anyone here with porn/masturbation induced ADD / ADHD ?

    I felt devastated on the day when I realized that my MO had lead me into another huge problem - it was ADD (Attention Deficiency Disorder). The more I read about it, the more horrified I was. It was because I felt like I had pushed myself, my own good brain into this disorder which I never had...

    Failed to make it through a period of loneliness

    I am one of those extreme cases.

    Finding meaning/emotions

    I was wondering if any of you guys have found emotion/meaning after dealing with PMO or anxiety/depression. I have been on an antidepressant since 14 (I started PMO when I was 11), and as life has progressed, I have lost emotions or passion for anything. I am just complacent, I have come to...

    How much does medication affect reboot?

    Going strong (20 days) but emotions are still numb. Can’t decide if that isn’t because of extremely high stress due to school, the withdrawal/flatline, or the SSRI I am taking. I am guessing SSRI, but I am wondering if anyone has noticed that their medication (antidepressant, etc.) has affected...
