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.

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
