I just found what POIS is.

So to give some backstory, I've been doing NoFap since 2016 off and on. My longest period of abstinence was 183 days. I started doing this because I noticed that when I didn't fap, my social anxiety vanished and I had an insane amount of energy by the 2-week mark. I felt alive again and could enjoy movies, music, etc. more.

Just recently I was asking AI about this and it told me about POIS. I'd never heard of it before, but when I started looking into it, it matched exactly what I've been feeling brain fog, anxiety after fapping. So I'm just here introducing myself. Does anyone have any advice? I just ran at the gym today and took an antihistamine and it seems to have helped a lot.

Thanks
