Currently on Day 358. I was sectioned 7 times, probably because of PMOING in last 12 years. Currently on meds, shit seems to help flatten my libido And brain zaps. Has anyone else been sectioned by pmoing or going crazy or couldn’t understand why they had depression?
It's pretty extreme to be sectioned because of a porn addiction. Do you have any other MH diagnosis you're suffering with at the same time? Did they restrict your access to porn / internet while under section? Hope you're ok man, keep talking.
Day 359. Well I know it drove ted bundy to kill women by being involved in porn. But because I have hypothyroidism, when masturbating I feel extremely depressed. This puts pressure on my glands which regulate Thyroid hormone. I have had all sorts of labels thrown at me by psychiatric drs. Psychosis, depression, paranoid schizophrenia. It all started when first exposed to porn but masturbating lightly a few years before. I looked like a prince at 14, but when I masturbated at 15/16 I looked like a villain. I never ever disclosed my p addiction to anyone ever. I managed to keep it under control the last 18 months. It’s quite odd, one minute I’m ok then after taking meds I’ve developed illnesses.
Hey man, thanks for sharing. It sounds like there's a lot going on for you so it's amazing you've been free for so long. Hope it's helping with your mental health as well. Are you still in hospital or are you out now? Just a thought - do you think it would help to talk to your psych or your CPN about how PMO has affected you?
Sorry to hear that, my depression meds don't havd same effect they just make you feel crazier porn with no M.
Locked up on a psychiatric unit/ward. It’s what the English here use to say you are getting locked in a mental hospital.
Tbh I can’t feel a thing of confidence or any benefit of nofap except good looks and women attraction, plus just too much anxiety as my meds make me zombified. I’ve been in this state for 1 year and 5 months. But am working on a slow titrating off meds. It will take perhaps another 6 months. I’m reading a book by another nofap user which explains the detrimental effects further from a Chinese medicine perspective and having perverted thoughts can take away good looks too. It really is something amazing. Search HMHU in nofap search box and read his blogs. I would never share pmo with drs. It’s another reason for another diagnosis and a money making opportunity for psychiatrists. It makes me appear more intelligent and interesting when I relay pmo to them and from the experience of another person they think I’m a bloody scientist for knowing knowledge on a subject they haven’t barely even scratched yet! All being well as I titrate off my meds 3-4 weeks at a time I’ll get better plus staying away from porn is helping my blessings increase. My life is somewhat okay but because of meds it’s pushing me away from ppl. God willing it’ll get better. For me and for you. I would seriously recommend you read the books . There’s a link on my page further down.
Hey, Bro could you talk me through how you got of your meds? I have been on mine for 3 years now, I would love to have fresh start med free.
Abilify Aripiprazole liquid oral. I got bullied a lot. Life affected me from different angles. When I previously stopped pmo and came off meds I had strength and confidence I didn’t have for 18 years. Then relapse came along. Brain zaps. Burning sensations in the brain due to meds I think. How long did it take you to get of yours? I did mine in 3 weeks when it should have taken 3-6 months. How did u manage to stay off meds so long? R u on a high nofap streak?
Were you into PMO before the meds, or did they come afterwards? Interested in how the two things work together, which came first etc.
I know we didn't have a indepth conversation with Doc about weening me off but I know it takes time. Just not sure how long, thats why I was interested in how you done it and what happened etc. I was not going to copy, I still have crazy mental health whilst taking medication. You could have also used alternative threapy. And did acuputure really work, I was never given that option.

I’d love to come off meds. I dropped from 10 to 9 ml yesterday and will stick at it for 3-4 weeks and drop it again. I think this is somewhat safe. I lost it because the drs took me off my meds too quick or The burning sensation in left lobe of my head or brain was due to pmo which drs didn’t know about and every time it flared up it was mistaken for a relapse. It could have been either. But after reading Gary Wilson book your brain on porn, a guy on his website said he felt the same way after pmoing. It made me realise it wasn’t only happening to me. My mum was a bit depressed before my birth and I contracted hypothyroidism at birth. I lived a normal life till I hit puberty and was put on meds. Depression is I’ve been told a side effect of taking Thyroid meds. That could be contributing to my depression. Drs have often mistaken the hypothyroidism for mental health problems. It causes mental impairments not mental health. When I came off Abilify, the most popular drug in the world, there was a period of bliss and energy. For 5-6 months I was free, till I relapsed. I noticed as I weaned offmeds I couldn’t read or write but confidence grew however my behaviour was erratic and weird. I was driving a car but felt psychologically unwell after 4 months of being off meds. It could have been pmoing. My last conclusion is, gods beloved are chosen to be ill as a test in this world. We go crazy for a reason. It’s gods way of telling us he loves us and paradise is waiting. I’m gonna tell you something scary... Had my hypothyroidism not been treated with meds, I’d be dead by now from an early age. Hypothyroidism if not treated causes coma then death. Hypothyroidism is when the Thyroid gland becomes disfunctional. Mainly caused by pollution or genetics.
i would advise you cut off the medication it will do more harm then good, second, start with a regular sleeping pattern aswell as eating habits dont eat refined sugar., then of courses excersises. do heavy lifting. If you have depression signs then look into why. If you want you can try infrared light on frontal cortex 2 a week, buy cheap LED lamp with 10-15 W power.
