NOFAP 48 months / PAWS

[Red Moon]

Today i have 48 months of Nofap Hardmode with some relapses :

First year - 11 relapses
Second year - 6 relapses
Third year - 13 relapses
Fourth year - 6 relapses

36 conscious ejaculations in 1460 days. Some with porn or with own thoughts ( novelty ). No binges.

45 months with dopamine deficiency symptoms / PAWS from porn and counting :

- Flatline

- No libido / no sexual perception or desire . Only porn or thoughts ( novelty ) gives me an unstable and weak arousal/erection ( desensitization )
- Genital numbness, shrinkage and coldness
- Penis feels detached from body and like " rubber "
- Penis skin is darker due to lack of blood flow and looks wrinkled
- Urination issues, more frequency and low quantity, low stream flow​

- Anhedonia ( emotional numbness, no pleasure with hobbies or challenges, no desire to socialize, pure desire for isolation, can create social anxiety, lack of mirror behaviour, weird, forced or fake dynamic when interacting with people )

- Brain fog ( unable to compartmentalize thoughts, confusion, hard to focus, short term memory loss, can't assimilate what people say instantly, can create social anxiety, weird, forced or fake dynamic when interacting with people)

- Low motivation ( everything feels like a task, i even need willpower for gaming or watch movies )

- Insomnia / Poor sleep quality ( REM )

- Mild tinnitus ( ear ringing, more noticeable when going to sleep )

- Irritability

- Low stress threshold ( tendency to freeze or overthink over stressful situations )

- Low energy

Only writing this so there can be more data about long reboots.

Cheers.

Would you say that the severity of your symptoms decreased over time?

No, not really.

Good for you man, keep it up!

 

[ye2024]

Did you notice any changes in your voice / speaking ability too?

 

[Mr.Tony]

How many orgasms do you have in your last 1460 days ?

I deeply apologies for my last reply, I hope you won't take it personal.
I'm deleting my last post, and once again - I just shared my personal opinion with you.
I wish you all the best of luck, and I'll be happy for you from my deepest heart if you recovered from this disease.

Exactly, you don´t even know the answer to that question.

Are you sure its only PAWS? Overthinking and low stress threshold could be a lot of things, i for example have Ocd and panic disorder, thats why im stressed all the time and overthink lots of things trying to find reassurance.

Have you ever considered looking for help or a therapist? even changing your enviorment could help.

Ok then, im sorry about your symptoms and their duration, i hope you can get better, im nowhere close to where you are, but i still think theres hope for you.

i kinda projected my situation onto yours, because i have similar symptoms but i was in denial about having mental health conditions, sorry about that.

No problem and thank you. I wish the best for you.
To my knowledge, every PIED case is reversible. However, the timelines for recovery are different for each person.

I feel you man. What for a history do you have with PMO, MO, sex or ejaculations in general ? Did you consume other things like alcohol, drugs, medication, etc. that cause an extreme dopamine release ?

I also believe that anhedonia and brain fog can create social anxiety. If this two things go away, then the social anxiety will also go away.

Dont you remember me from Reboot Nation ? We already talked about that...only PMO and sex.

Haha yes. I remember you but I forgot your history

Did you escalate in other categories, fetishes, extreme stuff like me ? Or was it just „normal“ P ?

Yes, desensitization and escalation for me.
