schizophrenia and porn

Doing MDMA heavily for long periods of time will definitely mess with your brain. The good news is that your brain can heal, as long as you stay away from it. It just takes a long time.

aarondf is right. Do you actually have any symptoms of schizophrenia? Look up symptoms of schizophrenia.

 

That sounds like anxiety maybe?

Do you have any hallucinations? Do you see things, hear things, smell things that aren't there? Do you feel like the thoughts you're having are not your own thoughts?
I'm not a doctor and I have very limited knowledge on the subject. The best thing you can do, if you think you have schizophrenia is to go and see a doctor and tell them how you're feeling.

How long will it take for your brain to heal? I don't know the answer to that. Every person is different. But look at it this way. You've been using MDMA for the past 6-8 months and you've only been clean for 5 months.

 

I can relate to you, I have OCD symptoms especially after breaking my streak. It's depressing, I'm stuck in the past and feel like I'm in a repetitive loop.
Only thing keeping me going is my faith in God. Pray

 

I feel you. I was hospitalized with symptoms of borderline schizophrenia. I won't go in to specifics but it was tied to drugs and porn/sex addiction. It was true hell on earth. I wouldn't have wished that feeling on any human being. If that is what you're going through, know that I'm with you.

Pray if you're into that. Meditation is what helped me. Relax and let yourself feel everything all the way through. Notice your paranoid thoughts without accepting them as the truth.

 

I have bi-polar disorder diagnosis. I have terrible psychosis. I think my psychosis gets worse when I don't use porn. It's probably why I like porn so much. I take 6 mg Invega pill and I hate it with a passion I think it makes me worse. Also, antipsychotics have been shown to increas estrogen levels in men up to 10x so fuck that. The government practically forces me to take this stuff they come to my front door every day and make me take it. I don't want to take the 30 day sustenna shot because of terrible hellish side affects. People underestimate what people in the mental health system go through, Anyway, sometimes I feel very aleviated by porn. But I want to see if in the long-run not using it helps me. Also I digress, please help people with psychosis, few people know what we deal with.

 

Bottom line: Trust a well respected professional.

 

I have no idea what my porn addiction since I was 15 has been doing to me. Could seriously be ruining my life. I can't wait to see what thirty days does. I've never done it. I did 13 days previously and learned some about myself. Now I want to see what 30 does.

 

If you are able to see even a glimpse of the real world from the depths of madness, you are among the luckiest ones alive. If you have seen reality distorted around you, you have had a glimpse of the power of the mind. Don't take this lightly. Power without discipline is a death sentence!

Your power is unlimited; therefore, the amount of discipline you will cultivate in life is the amount of power you will have access to.
This is true for all humans. This doesn't make us better. We were just lucky to have direct exposure.

I want to stress how important seeing a professional was in my recovery. I was resistant to prescription medications. When I saw them as a stepping stone to a better future, I had the moment of clarity I needed so much. Peace!

 

Hey did you hear voices for months on end trying to shame you. I also have bi polar DID and cut pmo 3 and 1/2 months ago and can't stop hearing them since I started getting insomnia after 2 months. I don't want to see a psychiatrist cause of all the meds you were talking about but I don't have much control over this situation. Any suggestions on how you cope?

 

It must be terrifying to experience that. Please do your best to find someone suitable to give you advice.
Psychiatrists are professionals who have trained rigorously to help people suffering with mental instabilities.

We are just random people on the internet, my friend. We have absolutely no credibility. This is a dangerous topic to trust to the opinions of strangers no matter how well meaning we are.
