Why do I?

Press teeth together forcefully? Might be that PMO provided a tension release. So its kind of a withdrawal symtopm. Do you do any exercise or stretching? or meditation/relaxation? That could help alleviate the tension in a more natural way.

The jaw is one of the most tense muscles in the body. Relaxation experts have all sorts of stuff about relaxing the jaw. If you think about it your jaw is one of the few muscle groups always having to hold itself up against gravity. Maybe a chin strap would help you relax your jaw. I want to get one but my beard is too furry. Then you just rest your jaw in the chin strap all day.

There are also guided meditations that do progressive muscle relaxation. Including the jaw.

About lips dry and eyes burn. Hows your water intake? I haven't got lips dry or eyes burn as a withdrawal symptom. Could it be allergies from a change of seasons?

Eyes burn could also be from excessive eye strain. A good meditation exercise is relaxing your eyes. Let them sink into their sockets. Relax your eye lids. And relax the muscles that control your eyes. Maybe you always strained your eyes and jaw a lot but never noticed due to the anasthetic affect of PMO.

Straining eyes is really common with all this stuff we do on computers. I do it a lot too. But there are ways to be more mindful and limit the symptoms.

Hope that helps a little. It might not be the exact anser you needed but its what I could think of.

 

I'm not sure. If you still have the symptoms now then I guess it will take more time. You probably won't live with them forever.

Sorry my suggestions weren't the right ones.

 

I hope things keep getting better for you I have faith in NoFap right now
