P.A.W.S. - what are they, cure, duration

I believe the brain can get so stressed out from PAWS that it basically gets stuck in this position. I don't know how to get through it, I've had this shit for 4-4.5 months. But I do think it's worth considering that there are mental health issues such as major depressive episodes triggered by the flatline

 

Yeah, I have skin problems. Dry flaky skin all over, that I've never had before. It seems to be related to digestive problems, but then again, I've had those for years, and skin hasn't been this bad, so I think it may be a fair thing to correlate to my current experience with PAWS; of course, all three things could be interrelated. Age could also be a factor for me. I am also getting red patches on my face, and warts on my body. All just in the last couple of years - the years where I've gone in to the worst PMO / PAWS symptoms ever. Lovely!

I think we're dealing with general poor health, so every system and organ in the body will function less well than it should, so will show signs of stress.

 

So lads it seems the mad man "androgenic beast" is still here under the name "CoomingIsEvil" which I suspected after reading a previous post made under that account when I read it, he left a message again.

"Hey egg headed faggot. Give me a call at +31684152275. There call me a moron over there. There might me a a time where I disembowel your skinny ass and eat you guts raw edgelord. I bet you're a fucking pussy. Dare give me a call. Incel".

Best thing is to just block any accounts made by him, giving him attention is just adding fuel to the fire, pure manchild attention, there's no end to arguing with the mentally ill, rationality doesn't exist within them.

 

Just ignore and report him, best you can do.

 

Does anyone know how the original poster, fenix riser, is doing?

 

I guess that's a very personal thing considering that everyone's skin is different and reacts different to stress but anyways, I have worse skin too: many small pimpels, usually barely have them at all. All since PAWS hit. Also - which annoys me more - my hairline moves upward slowly and the hair itself is extremely thin. I'm 100% sure this is a physical symptom, and I'd say as long as you drink enough water and get nutrients and your skin doesn't hurt because it's so dry it should be fine - and pass with the rest of the symptoms leaving for you in the near future!

 

Hey man. This scares me too! Hope we'll get through the fire without too much burning ...

 

There are far more ''dopamine-crushing'' activities than movies and tv-shows. Atleast an episode or a movie lasts long and has meaning, opposed to, say social media, where the gratification is as short-term as it gets.

An annoyance, though, is that I have watched some really great tv-shows during this, such as Breaking Bad, House of Cards and Better Call Saul, yet I experienced no pleasure or joy from them; all it gave me was the awareness that it was good, and it was something, through its story and characters, that had my attention.

 

Just want to report on an annoyance that is present during this: metabolism. Man, my metabolism is horrible, absolutely horrible. Ive always been very athletic and had it easy building muscle. I even was the dude that could eat anything and however much I wanted, yet stay ripped. However, during these last years of me living in the world of PAWS, my metabolism is pathetic.

Gone are the days where I can eat anything and stay shredded. Fuck, gone are the days where I can even eat 2000 calories a day and MAINTAIN; If I consume 2000 daily now I GAIN weight - this is absolutely ridiculous.

I meet my friends at the gym who are in the same boat as me, trying to cut and lose weight. You know what calories they are on when they are cutting? 2500 or some even at 3000. I have to be at around 1600 to lose weight! This is so absurd for a 23 year old whose been athletic his entire life.

Its just funny man.. I try to stay completely shredded during this, cause even two kilos too much gives me female hips and love-handles. I mean, take any athletic dude whose a couple of kilos ''too heavy'' from where he is at his peak and he still has a masculine, strong-looking body. Not me, anymore - I get a sloppy body with female features ‍♂️

To my understanding, this has alot to do with testosterone and androgen and PAWS simply blocking these natural things from working optimally for us.

Hey, its another great challenge, and Im here for it.

 

Yeah. I truly believe it is possible man, just focus on what matters. Have a goal ignore the rest, I would suggest you stop reading about symptoms and bad shit unless you start having them. Good luck

 

I just signed up but I've been shadowing these forums for awhile. Right now I don't have the time to give full details of my story but I've gone through the worst case of PAWS ever when I got sober from alcohol four years ago (20 months until I was better). A few days ago I completed 16 months of pure semen retention. Thankfully this time the PAWS is nowhere near as bad. Really my only symptoms are flatline (practically no libido except for weak morning wood), a little bit of brain fog, intermittent variable headaches, and intermittent fatigue. For quite awhile now I would oversleep, wake up groggy, and still need to take an afternoon nap.

For about a week now two things have happened. The first is that I've been waking up after 5-6 hours of sleep completely refreshed and ready to go. I've been full of energy the whole day and have not needed to take any naps. The second is that my fetishes have seemingly been wiped from my brain. I identify as straight but indulged in sexual encounters with men and transwomen during the height of my addiction. I try not to fantasize but if I get a thought now it is of regular, vanilla sex with women I know in real life.

Last night when I was about to fall asleep I randomly had a memory of a sexual encounter with an ex-girlfriend. I started to feel butterflies in my stomach and my penis came to life. I think nerves that had been dormant for a long time finally came to life because my balls and taint started aching badly. The pain caused the erection to subside.

A little earlier today I was out for a walk and crossed paths with a very attractive woman. Same thing happened. That is two days in a row now.

I believe I am finally coming out of the flatline albeit slowly. No rush, I am not going to force anything.

I look forward to contributing more and giving hope to those that are still going through hell.

 

How old are you now? How old were you when you first watched porn?

 

I am coming up on 43 years old and porn is not my problem. Although I will say thank God high speed internet porn did not exist when I was young, I had to make do with the Victoria's Secret catalog (anybody remember those?).

I've been masturbating for as long as I can remember which is probably 4-5 years old. As a kid I realized that rubbing up against my mattress while laying down produced amazing sensations. I don't know if this is normal but even as a kid I could get an erection and have orgasms. The only difference was because I was a prepubescent nothing came out. But I had orgasms nonetheless.

So not only did I become addicted to masturbating at a super young age I did it in the worst way possible, prone. Then I grew up and became an alcoholic and sex addict while still masturbating prone all the time.

There is no question in my mind that sexual exhaustion/adrenal fatigue is a real thing because after four decades of sexual self-abuse my mind, body, and soul were completely corrupted. It was time for a long break.

 

Youve made tremendous progress, brother! Soon your health will be in optimal shape for you to live life to the absolute fullest. Keep going brother, stay humble.

 

Dude, I'm gaining weight on my arse on a daily basis (it gets bigger and bigger everyday!). Is that what you're getting?

Not sure why, could be because I stopped fapping and so my T levels are higher (fact) and so T is converting to Estrogen!

 

16 months is great - I'm not even able to do one month.

Someone on here is adamant that we need to be at least 2 years fap free in order to heal. It would be interesting to hear your results if you keep it up for 8 more months.

 

Maybe, I dont know. All I know is that gaining weight is far too easy, and causes unneeded extra stress in my life. Sucks to be a 23 year old man who cant utilize the testosterone in my body.

If you dont want to gain more weight on your arse, I would recommend downloading 'Myfitnesspal', which will help you count your calories. I do this in addition to running to lose weight. But man is it tough... My brain craves food all the fucking time during this shitty ass PAWS plus my metabolism is horrible, which just makes losing weight a damn tough challenge. Can admit to consuming 3000 calories today

Have to run tommorow and Sunday to get back even, plus consume no more than 2000 calories each day.

 

I thought you said you had 2 or 3 years pmo free in a comment above?

 

Yes, I had 3 years pmo free which entailed one 6 months hardmode and 3-4 three months hardmode.

When I said I can't do a month, I meant my current situation. I've been trying to do another hardmode but I keep failing even before one month (by MOing, not PMOing).

 

I'm not quite understand....
Is your 3 years were hardmode?
