Jobless, Degreeless & mentally impaired PMO addict need some advice & positivity desperately!

You are taking too many medication. Please stop that and join a gym work hard for 2 hours.
Cure for all the human illness. Remember to eat less and only vegetarian.
Your problem is not due to pmo alone. You must be having vitamin b12 deficient. Get it checked mate. Dont kill the symptoms by medicines, cure the cause which change in lifestyle and habit can make and not medicines.

 

Jay is that u?

 

Bro just keep working hard at wat u doin and be patient , this ain't gonna happen over night

 

"As I'm a severe addict who's life got wrecked up, what should I do now? Should I take GABA? Or boost up dopamine or take a stimulant like Ritalin?"

I get it that it's tempting to look for an easy chemical solution, but that's not the solution. This is a mind issue, so you need to start there. Luckily, this board is full of people who've described their journey, and have provided their practical tools to help you. It's not easy mate, but there is love and support for you. Don't give up the struggle, since it's not hopeless, and you can win.

 

yeah it might be a big reason. get it checked and eat a balanced diet. do not eat packed or fried street food. cut on sugar.
healthy carbohydrate and healthy fats such as found in dry fruits and butter , desi ghee etc. include lean protein.
remember to eat foods rich in omega3 fatty acid and vitamin b12. two very important building blocks for brain intelligence.

 

A job gives us a sense of purpose, and is the number one reason for happiness in men. However, it's not always easy to get a job.

I would recommend doing some volunteering right now. Because the happiness comes primarily from the feeling of accomplishment and the knowledge that you have been needed for a greater purpose.

Stay connected with people in real life, spend less time online and more time talking with loved ones and strangers.

Have patience, all the problems you have can heal with time.

 

Benzos are dangerous, they sedate you and make you idle, I was on ssris for a bout a year they help a bit. Get yourself eating healthy, read and learn about things that interest you. Set up a daily routine. The rest should fall into place. Good luck.

 

If u have vitamin B12 deffiecemcy, then its especially not an smart idea to be a vegeterian. Humans need meat its good and heahlty and it has B12 which u can get only trough it or supplements. And my advice: stop with the medications to get a shortcut to recovery, do it oldschool, abstience and wait till it heals itself, its the longer path but its more secure than constanly bombardong your brain with some new chemicals. U need patience

 

many people turn up and say they were good before this shit hit them,and i guess in relative terms obviously tht seems true, but you my dear friend are truly intelligent considering the fact that you found all about GABA and exytocin and what not, i mean i have read or maybe heard about ll this when i first read your brain porn and saw those videos but if you can explain here in feynman style, then you clearly know your stuff enough. I had also heard about modafinil but not about ritalin, so clearly even there you have done a bit extra.

you know when i oopened this thread, i was already in pity and i assumed it would be a sob story considering your title, but i am pleasantly surprised y looking at your research.

but jus tthink about this, you and we all are fucked up due to checmicals and basically chemical overdose, and you want to go ahead and replace tat with other seemingly "innocent" chemical overdose, i am sure when you were reading about modafinil you would have realised that it simply wont help in the long run and should just be used as an eemergency measure, or even if you do use, there has to be a gaps in a few days and after a month or maybe a month and a half, you should jst avoid it, because then the drug starts to lose its efficiency. why do you think that awesome modafinil started giving you migraine headaches, compared to the wonderful zoned in feeling it gave you when you started.

the botoom line is, you and i need super duper workout, if not that then really good session of yoga and meditation and some really good food. obviously pmo needs to go away at any cost. look up the dose dependant dopamine release of kesar(safffron), obviously it is much much smaller than you would expect it to be, but it is a powerful spice tht needs to be taken a certain way in different weather , dm me for details.

but nothing will be helpful unless you change what you do for the maximum part of your day, and from whta you have said, i feel terrified about your mental state riight now. i just hope you were in a computer enginnerring course, because i you were, then come into inbox, i may have a few things to say to you, not tat i am an enginner but still, i have some stuff. if most of your time is spent idling by, then, you, i fear, will take even longer than whatever it is that you think will be your recovery time, although i sincerely hope i am wrong, but look at it logically.

all the best, i guess we will be talking on a voice call soon enough. you know it and i know it that with an insane amount of effort, you can get out of it, but if you take the wrong route or make some mistakes,you will only prolong your agony. Sanjay dutt had his father to help him out after he came back from rehab, we need to create our own lives or this society will be out there to spit on us and we are losing time so so fast.

all the best bhai

 

Don't take L-dopa or L-tyrosine or anything else to boost dopamine. Dopamine is the precursor of adrenalin. The high dopamine is why you feel anxious, stressed and exhausted in the first place because it is literally a stress inducing neurochemical. Heck it's basically a stress hormone.
You want to take something to boost either serotonin, tryptophan maybe, and anything providing many anti-oxidants like oregano oil or garlic. Believe me, much of the anxiety is actually oxidative stress. Remove gluten, fructose and simple sugars from your diet. Start healing your gut which makes all of the calming neurotransmitters antidepressants target. Antidepressants won't work if you don't target the cause of the issue, which like you say is probably withdrawal. India has a lot of sunlight, make sure to get enough light in order to make enough vit. D.
Most importantly, you will probably need to give up porn for good. It really sounds as if you are in withdrawal and each relapse will only make the symptoms worse.
It's the only way dude. Once you are in withdrawal you are in a type of vicious circle that only has one exit which is total abstinence for months or even years on end. It can take the human brain a year of abstinence to return to something resembling normal balance after a decade of addiction. If you're lucky. Each relapse is a delay in recovery, setback even, that's why it's called relapse, you're back to 0 every time. Not in all cases but definitely in your case. Daily masturbation for several years is heavy addiction.

 

excellent write-up bhai,

 

Ye I agree, I am still miserable with a job but i was way more miserable without it... thinking whole day how to fap and how much i suck, now I only think that for 2-3 hours cuz the rest of the time I work

 

1. don't eat refined sugar and garbage 2. try to eat organic grass fed meat and gluten free stuff like rice,buckwheat,quinoa, eat fish! and sleep 22-6. very simple rules. do it long enough and you'll see benefits. and be social as much as u can as it matters also

 

Anti-anxiety medications (benzodiazepines/tranquilizers) work on GABA. These are quite effective against anxiety. Problem is, benzodiazepines cause tolerance really fast and can cause debilitating withdrawal. A GABA supplement does not. It may be worth looking into but from what I've found, doesn't cross the blood-brain-barrier like benzodiazepines and has little effect. Some herbs like kava or valerian are said to raise gaba levels but are probably useless when your anxiety is really bad. I understand the frustration (believe me I'm having the same issues) but the real way to go is targeting the receptors by changing lifestyle and diet drastically and to keep that up for as long as need be. Diet and not masturbating are the crucial ones if you ask me. Withdrawal can be hell but it's really important to give your nervous system the rest it so desperately needs.
