    about 5-6 weeks ago I suffered an extremely terrible withdrawal phase where for about 10 days I just was assaulted by high anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress-starving, lack of boners of any kind, intense flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, and soooo much more stuff. Then after that, about 5-4 weeks ago it was like I was a lil over half way healed, I had MW and nocturnal boners every day, I'd even have some mid day erections which is good cause I am suffering PIED rn, I had basically no memory of porn, and twice out of the seven days I had shots of natural libido for real girls which I have not had in over a year... then I lost it again for a week, then got it back this time slightly better but only for 5 days; which brings me to today, for the past 4 days I lost it and don't see any signs of it returning. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?! I feel like I've been sucker punched, does anyone here have an idea at why this is happening and if I really am healing?

    I heard when your body starts reacting like this it means you are almost healed, but I’m not to sure, when I first started this journey I was getting hit with some nasty kinks every night but slowly those kinks are going away, 150 days in

    No I’m 150 days in right now, with only one orgasm from a girl grinding on me. No libido as of now, I use to have crazy depression but it’s a lot better. Still depressed here and there. Going through hell, but the only way to get through hell is to keep going.

    I would love if more people responded to me, I am deeply concerned about my healing because of this emotional rollercoaster

    You’ve probably heard this before, but exercise, healthy eating and cold showers help a great deal.

    Thanks for the response but that's not what I was asking about (besides physical activities have nothing to do with psychological ED)

    I think your body is still adapting to the new situation. Physiology is a complex phenomenon and your body need a lot of time to return to normality. In my opinion let it do its thing and not worry that much since it will eventually get better. But if you can't stop thinking about it contact a doctor and he/she will put your mind at ease.

    I see, sorry I didn't reply so soon. I saw it the minute you sent it but my reply didn't go through.
     
  10. Playing in the sun and cold shower alleviate the symptoms for a short period of time.

    I'm not worried about alleviating the symptoms I'm worried about healing in general
     
  12. Ok but if you're severe case, it will be a long process.
