Day 0: Stress-like symptoms, anyone?

    So well, I have been off the site for a while. I've been relapsing hard these past days and I can't get to go back to any sort of self-improvement mood.

    I feel so stressed. I don't know why. My head hurts, my sight is blurry, I am tired and lack response-time. I have been studying for some time (not too much) and I did not have to go to Uni today, so it cannot be physical tiredness. I feel like it's PMO related, I think it is messing up my sleep and my attention span in some weird way. Mental clarity is non-existent at the moment. All the things come out at like 50% brain capacity or less.

    Is anyone feeling similar symptoms?

    So sorry to hear that. I fully understand your feeling painfull.

    I had lost my conscious many time. And I felt strong urge.
    I did nothing when my condition was too bad.
    I only thought it seemed like wasting time.

    But time for only enduring painfull isn't wasting time.


    This situation can happen. I experienced and will experience this.
    This painfulness is different from person to person.

    Some people will have such a pain as having been burnt in the flames of hell. If you are enduring the painfulness, your reboot is going well now.

    People with porn addicts are releasing discomfort, stress, tiredness and anger with pornography.

    I think you're experiencing two painlessness now.
    1. You're accepting stress and discomfort that diverged at pornography.
    2. You're experiencing withdrawal symptoms from porn addiction

    You're feeling painfull because you are fighting against the urge.

    You're about to know the recovery process from porn addiction. This is important.
    If you want to know withdrawal symptoms, please access this url.

    There're urge for porn to overcome it by knowing what will happen to your rebooting in the future.

    Sorry to hear that, night reaper. Glad you came back :)

    Well, I definitely was feeling those symptoms more acutely in my active addiction a little over a week ago. All I could do was use PMO, then play a video game or watch DBZ for hours, until I got horny again. Use PMO again, back and forth, etc.

    I couldn't write, read, really do much of anything. I kept up with my most basic survival tasks like getting meals or grocery shopping but it was quite a labor. I kind of let laundry go by the wayside :)

    I only just did my laundry on day 8 :) So yeah. Are you saying your symptoms are of your relapse? Or are you attributing them to it being day 0? (as in starting to come off PMO)

    Either way I think at least a few days off PMO will start to clear your head. A few days can seem like FOREVER though when you only have afew minutes without PMO. Try to participate in the forums some more and maybe that will help you get through it. It will probably only take a few days for your head to clear noticably (it did for me but still a long way to go IMO) and then you can decide if you wana keep trying life without PMO once you're there.
    Don't tell yourself you'll never use it again. Then you won't let go. Just be like, hey, we need a few days off, that's all. Nothing set in stone past that. (Psychological approach)

  4. Buckle up, it’s going to be a rough ride. These are withdrawal symptoms and can last many months and up to a couple of years. You’re going to have to ride them out I’m afraid. But you’ll come out a stronger person in the end.

    I don't know about withdrawals symptoms but i do know about after effects of orgasm. What you are experiencing is after effects of ejaculation : weak energy, irritability, weird symptoms... It will probably last for a week because your body is exhausted by the energy you have spent masturbating, it has to remanufacture semen so you will function poorly for a few days.
    Do you have difficulty breathing, high alertness but exhaustion, tight chest?
    All due to ejaculation.

    Thanks a lot for your help. A day has passed and I can already feel myself a little bit more conscious and energetic. Usually, I do not notice the real return to normality until a few weeks, but I know I'll have to wait.

    Take care.
