This is my first post and I felt the need to do this because of some hard truths I have just learnt. I am currently in a Long distance relationship and the girl involved sent me some very dirty videos so of course I went wild. I have been having massive stomach issues for about a year now that have got progressively worse. Nothing has helped. I wake up Everyday feeling ill like I want to vomit. However, once I received these videos I masturbated 4 times 3 days in a row (12 in total). since then I have not been able to get an erection for 4 days, I can't stop shaking and I've woken up and vomited every morning so far. I can barely eat a thing. My theory is that I have put myself in a hyper state through over stimulation. I also think I have found the cause of my stomach issues and anxiety. I have gone cold turkey and will let you all know how I recover long term and whether or not it is the masturbation that is causing it. I am 90% sure it is. I am also doing my PhD in a health related area so I have fair amount of knowledge of hormones and bodily functions so this isn't me just coming up with a stupid theory with no real knowledge.
I had terrible problems with anxiety at the height of my PMO addiction. Stress and anxiety manifest themselves in really unusual ways in our bodies. I'm on Day 136 of my reboot and my anxiety is completely gone now. Abstaining from both P and M was crucial for me. Once I did that I was able to "see" the real causes of my anxiety and deal with it directly, rather than trying to avoid it via PMO. Great post and best of luck to you!
Yeh I've had an endoscopy, supplemented with probiotics, digestive enzymes, the whole shabang. It's only the last month or so that I've really upped my masturbation (on holiday so more free time I Guess) And my symptoms have got so much worse. I truly believe their is a direct correlation.
I think I'm in a very similar scenario. I'm just so happy that I think I have found the true cause of my anxiety and stomach problems. Time will tell if this is the issue but I'm feeling pretty certain. ink
Day 6 - NoFap and no porn so far. Still feeling ill when I wake up. Haven't thrown up the last two days but been close so maybe just keeping it down. Anxiety still high.
Day 8 - yesterday I felt so much better but today I feel really ill. Shaking again (shock like symptoms) no boner the whole time. Seems I could be entering the dreaded flat line.
Yes sir. I am currently going through one right now! My body is so confused - for the last 5 years, it hasn't known life without porn, masturbation, and orgasm!
Porn isn't the cause, you have some underlying issue. Go to a doctor. I've never experienced such episodes in the 14 years PMO. And I've been heavily addicted. Don't be a hero, just go to the doctor. Get seen, get the good or bad news. Go from there.
Been to doctor many times. Same old story, "ibs" "lactose intolerance" "bullshit bullshit". I think I just get so anxious that my health problems are manifesting in my stomach. Day 9 now and feeling a bit better but still a little shaky. I really think I just went too far this time. I've had so much go wrong in my life that the anxiety has compounded by many things not just from the masturbation by itself. I think stopping could be the first step though to reducing my anxiety. the Doctors
hi hope I'm not too late. I had stomach issues too. Eventually I found out through a medical exam that I had, and partially still do have, a condition. It was stress and anxiety derived. I recently found out that this stretching position really helps. Dm me if you want to know more information
I am also facing the exact same issues, I can't eat anything, whenever I do I get urges to vomit, feeling lazy all the time, stomach is upset from a very long time. Doing gym but no stamina to do it perfectly. I just joined NoFap, I badly wants to continue.
Bro, this is exactly me. Gym obsessed but can't eat my calories to build the muscle I need because my stomach problems are so bad. I'm on day 9 and I have got major improvements already. Even ate breakfast yesterday. Hungover today so couldn't haha but that's the alcohol. My energy levels have improved dramatically already. I think we should keep in contact to motivate each other for nofap, gym and stomach issues. It seems like we're going trough similar shit.
Day 3, trying to avoid Anti-NoFap stuff as much as I can, getting myself busy with work and stuff, frustrated a bit, but won't be letting myself to get carried away, And Yes, we should really motivate each other, I(We) really need one. I am yet to gain energy level but I am feeling good, having positive thoughts about myself and for what I am doing. I have tried before too, but failed many times, feeling confident this time, maybe a needed NoFap community to start with.
'Nothing has helped. I wake up Everyday feeling ill like I want to vomit. ' - story of my life for the past 6 months. Hey I have a similar problem to you summed up in the quotation marks in that short sentence, I feel nauseous every morning, it's being like this for months now. I have a light breakfast (2 slices of bread, 200m whole milk), and have to force it down every morning while wanting to be sick. Same with you I go to the gym and count my calories, sometimes it's so bad I eat half my breakfast then finish it when I get back from the gym. I hate waking up early because of it, I find it's less severe when I sleep in and wake up at around 11am-12am, and by night time it is mostly gone, then it repeats the next day in the morning. I even have a word document I use to conduct experiments trying different things to cure it, but to no avail. I am certain it is a mental illness I have obtained through anxiety and stress which has stuck with me, blood test shows everything is normal, it is all in my mind which is the worst part. Perhaps a long nofap streak is the answer, I haven't surpassed a month nofap since I got this sickness, maybe the answer is so simple after all and I have failed to notice it, there is only one way to find out, I have to get a long streak again. Mine first started taking my first exam for A-levels, I couldn't eat breakfast that morning and put it down to being nervous, then I began to feel sick when I went to the gym early, again I thought I'm nervous because exams. Then after all of my exams finished, it stayed with me every single morning, it was minor at first but it got worse over time, I find it gets worse when I am anxious about something, but even when I am not anxious about anything, it is still always there. I stopped taking the gym seriously and bulking until it got better, it never did get better, I think a long nofap streak is the answer, I never had any problems when I abstained. The doctor just gave me antidepressants, I don't think they understand this which is why I have being working to solve it on my own. Didn't mean to write a wall of text, what you're describing sounds like what I've being struggling with for a long time so I want to find out more. When did you first experience this feeling in the morning? I will also be doing nofap, I relapsed recently after a 12 day streak but now if I know it will help me get rid of this sickness I will do whatever it takes. This way if one of us falls down or gets better we can help each other out, if you want to know anything else about my sickness i'll gladly help you out with any questions if it means we can find a solution to this.
Bro, thanks so much for posting. Sounds like we have the exact same thing. Your description is identical to mine. I had hip surgery two years ago and use masturbation as a coping mechanism as I was disable for six months. Only now have I made the connection. Been 10 days for me and seeing some improvement in my eating but still too soon to tell. I think over masturbation may actually be the true root of this problem!
