I've used YBOP.com and these forums for quite a while now but i've never posted anything because i wanted to see what other people are going through. Here's my story:
I've been masturbating once a day (at night) in order to fall asleep since probably 7th or 8th grade, and i am 21 now, so 7-8 years. Anyway, one day a couple years ago after a night of masturbating to porn and playing video games, i woke up to what seemed to be a complete burnout. Overnight i had developed severe light sensitivity, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, pressure in my head and behind my eyes and general malaise. I quit my job and went into a deep hole that i couldn't get out of. For a year I was jobless, experiencing these powerful and debilitating symptoms that would NOT go away. I went to every single doctor and everything that i could think of wasn't causing these symptoms.
After a process of elimination i've decided to give masturbation/ porn up to try and heal myself and get back to living my life. I am on day 38 and have been experiencing some symptoms that have surprised me, Here's a list: (These didn't all happen at once, and haven't lasted this whole time)
-For the past week i have been experiencing pressure in my chest, like a shortness of breath
-severe panic attack (Never had these until i stopped masturbating)
- horrible anxiety about NOTHING. I have nothing stressful going on in my life
- my vision has actually gotten a lot better since i've stopped, i no longer need glasses and the pressure in my head is beginning to fade away slowly.
- thinning hair and horrible dandruff
- insomnia, waking up in a panic
- theres a lot more..
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is to see if anyone else has experienced these horrible panic attacks for no reason? Like i said i have nothing stressful going on in my life and I'm having these. please feel free to share your stories and if you are experiencing similar stuff PLEASE let me know. Thanks for reading
