Hey all, this is for all the people still troubled by the injection:
- Have a look at your lifestyle: If it's okay, then look for any undying conditions or addictions you're still struggling with
- Stay away from PMO: There's science that supports the prevalence of Pornography addiction and more importantly the presence of PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal)
What is PAWS?: Paws is a temporary-long lasting problem that comes when you abstain from a substance or addiction for a long time. A lot of you NoFappers or previous Porn addicts may notice nofap no longer working or you not getting the benefits. Try researching NoFap Paws, as you may be going through it.
Symptoms of PAWS?: |From DarkSektur (Nofap Forums)|:
1) Depression.
2) Anxiety and panic attacks for no good reason.
3) Forgetfulness.
4) Concentration problems.
5) Mood swings.
6) Lack of motivation and apathy (things that I enjoyed and gave me the thrills didn't anymore).
7) Difficulty reading/studying efficiently as normal people do (I find myself forgetting and repeating lines or words over and over to retain it but it's futile)
8) Difficulty following up a conversation.
9) inability to handle stress. Any little stress made my symptoms worse, especially the cognitive impairment and mood swing.
10) brain fog from time to time. It seemed brain fog was totally separate from the cognitive impairments. Brain fog made my head feel clouded and worsened my cognitive impairments but it would subside still leaving me with my cognitive impairment. The brain fog usually came when I mistakenly saw a nude pic on the streets or on an ad. I never relapsed.
Why I'm talking about this in a psych med recovery thread?
A lot of the symptoms in Paws are very similar to psych recovery. Specially things like forgetfulness, tiredness, and anhedonia.
What's the solution?
Patience. Just like med recovery, Paws from PMO takes time.
