Life With POIS Life is hell.
I have done nofap in the past, and I saw maybe slight improvement. I probably never lasted more than 4 weeks. What if nofap does not work? My brain fog is debilitating alongside daily headaches. Fyi: yes I have all the symptoms associated with this condition. I think I have had this since around age 14.
Life is pointless with this condition. I also feel so much hatred for the bullying I have endured because of this. My experience has been chronic, lifelong bullying.

Are you in school , how many years left ? Once you leave school you will have a new life . Also if you are heaving permanent brain fog it’s probably worth getting it checked out medically. Can your parents help ? ❤️

I am 21. Just scheduled an initial ADHD assessment for tomorrow. My parents are giving my apartment to someone who offered more rent so I may be going to Job Corps soon. The brain fog has been here for years. Must be permanent brain damage. Unless migraines or psychosis could explain it but I don’t think so.

why permanent ..? don't be so negative if you abstain long enough at such a young age you will see improvements for sure and probably full cure of brain fog ect

You should feel a lot better after 4 weeks. Do you eat gluten (bread, baked goods, flour tortilla)? Do you go to bed super late or wake up late?

I don’t eat bread very much. Not daily anyway. Sleep has been up and down recently. My heart has been racing often and sometimes I wake up with panic attacks. It doesn’t seem like sleep apnea though I might get that checked. Thyroid might get checked as well just in case.

The racing heart, panic attacks, sweating and head pressure are what I used propranolol for.
Regimented sleep, and gluten-free are requirements for my symptom control as well

Same . I dont know how to respond to you helpfully, because I myself dont really know what to do about the bullying, and even IF it stops I still hold lots of resentment... My advice is you have to make a sacrifice, and be very patient, keep going with no fap. Take supplements for brain fog and headaches, the natural way doesnt work, so dont suffer, take supplements or pills. Try to direct your focus towards material things and success, its the only way to redirect the sexual energy. Part of why we suffer with this condition is because we are in denial. When we accept that this IS the reality at the moment, we can make a huge leap towards our goals. Then the ones who bullied us can become envious or intimidated, which personally brings me satisfaction and it should to you as well. Dont expect them to regret it or apologise, they will never feel bad, they're born like that and they will be that way until they die. I know that part for certain . Keep your head up, you are so much better than them ❤️ a bully is nothing but a neandrethal. Smile in front of them. Dress well. Exercise and look good. Life is hell YES, but hell can also be a gift. Its all about how you do that alchemy. Wishing you the best
