    Recently I developed some weird feeling of nostalgia, which is haunting me mostly during a bed time, but not only. It also feels like some kind of anxiety, a need to feel safe and cared. In the same time I'm suffering by remembering certain events from the past, I would like to head back to this old times...
    Definitely somthing is going on, I even used to cry without any particular reason. I guess my emotions are not longer dimmed and I need to cope with them by myself, but it's still odd. It seems like my brain is destabilized. Anyone had some similar experiences?

    Hola creo que la adicción al P, está relacionado estrechamente con tristeza y Depresión, estamos en el camino de reiniciar el cerebro, todos dicen q cuando ya No estamos sobre estimulados de PMO, la vida será más hermosa , es decir, las cosas más sencillas serán más placenteras a nuestro cerebro, por algo hasta el sexo en exceso puede ser Peligroso .... Buena reflexión, sigue escribiendo

    Decreased emotional sensitivity is associated with P abuse. It's one of the things an SO will notice first, actually. So perhaps your emotions have been repressed by PMO and you're catching up, or maybe this is closer to your emotional baseline and your "new" normal.

    Crying is okay. I'd avoid it in public, since it isn't socially acceptable, but I doubt it's for no reason. The reason may not be immediately obvious to you, but that's because you haven't been used to being emotionally self aware. Spend some time thinking about it. What's happening, what were you thinking about when the tears came? You'll figure it out.

    Meantime, you might be wanting to go back to the old times because you don't have recent happy memories, because of the reduced emotional sensitivity. Don't regress. Enjoy the past, certainly, but don't try to return to it. Look to the future. Great times are ahead, it's just up to you to facilitate their creation.
