Hi I'm Jared, I'm 21 and have adhd and mild Autism and I am doing nofap for a good reason which I mentioned in a previous post, diagnosed at a very young age I had trouble accepting that I had these conditions and would feel shame, up until my mid to late teens I had trouble coming to terms with it, because I felt different from everyone else and sometimes there were bullies, which made me feel even more shame, but as I got older I learned more about my conditions and started to accept my adhd and Autism, but when I started nofap it definitely changed the way I viewed my disabilities in the past, I no felt shame like I used to, I learned that I'm no different from everyone else, I have the same intellectual capacity as others, the only difference is the way my brain works, I take a bit longer than the neurotypical person to process things such as information or even emotions, but that is who I am and nofap is how I have come to learn about myself. Is there anyone else with similar conditions? Feel free to share.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's at 25 years old and it explained a lot. I know exactly what you mean about feeling different. I also wonder if my brain working differently makes this process harder on me. I just noticed you are at 500+ days. Wow.
I have adhd, the doctors fucked me all over the place with shit pills when i was younger, adhd is a great gift, i occasionally felt autism when i was pmo'ing daily but now never again during nofap
Not officially diagnosed with anything but I've long suspected that there's something "off" about the way my brain works.
Me, also not officialy diagnosed, but the symptoms ive been having throught the years and my abusive background tend to mean that i do have these things, Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, OCD, Adhd, Depression. Also took a long time to accept these things, unfortunately thats life, you just gotta move on, currently reading two workbooks on how to control these illnesses of mine, thing that will help me in the long run.
Hi first of all panic disorder is not a disorder, its a imbalance in your body that triggered flight of fight, poorly understood by medical doctors who are donkeys, social phobia is the same, there is no such thing as phobia for social, we are literally social creatures no phobia ever exists, this is social axienty that comes from PMO or nofap withdrawals. Ocd, depression, adhd are not illnesses, you cant die from it, it wont hurt the body, its a medical term for people to give up their brain thinking and eat expensive trash medications, your solution is in front of your eyes, NOFAP
I have ADHD and OCD and these things are make everything worse but I never give up to recover my brain.
I agree that a lot of these problems are over-diagnosed and over-prescribed, but I wouldn't go as far as to say they are not illnesses. You absolutely can die from mental illnesses and they absolutely do hurt the body. NoFap helps but not everyone is addicted to PMO in the first place.
Hi, I have ocd as well and it's fucking terrible. First time posting on here and the first time I noticed someone else saying they have ocd, I'm trying hard to reach out
I sure hope Nofap helps me, My social phobia is linked to the panic disorder, when i put myself in situations that give me cues of what i fear, my response is exxagerated, like if i was in a real dangerous situation, fortunately i know its a trick, and i just gotta surf through it, maybe do some belly breathing. Ocd also contributes a lot to it, keeping myself focused on my thoughts and not being able to make them go away.
In fact I've seen more people with OCD in this forum. Btw, there is a little known group here about mental health, and it has sub forums dedicated to OCD and anxiety, ADHD, autism and Asperger's, depression and more, you can find it here https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?groups/discussing-mental-health-issues.48/forums
Not really side effects but I have the drive and energy to do things that I wouldn't have when jerking off
