My plan for treating POIS
I feel like typing it out will help me since my mind is kind of all over the place when Im poising.
I cut out gluten 2 weeks ago, around the same time as I found out what POIS was. My next step is to do an AIP diet for 30 days. This is to hopefully heal my stomach inflammation, and to see if diet could be the issue.
I also plan on doing similar techniques to dnrs. Im not paying for dnrs because the price is absurd, but these techniques arent anything new or secret. I believe this will help me because when I first started getting POIS symptoms it was after trying and failing nofap several times because of a belief that masturbation was bad and holding me back. Im gonna try to in a way to reverse these beliefs I made for myself.
Also I have noticed porn greatly increases my pois symptoms. It feels very powerful and intoxicating for me, and like it drains even more of my happy chemicals. Im definitely cutting out porn. Also Im gonna try to limit my masturbation because when I limit it enough, I barely have any symptoms.
I?m also gonna try staying positive and doing things my anxiety tells me I cant do. I think staying positive about the process is hard but very important. Ill probably greatly limit my time on r/POIS and on pois center because positivity is hard to come by.
Also Ive noticed fenugreek and garlic help when POISing, so next time most of my symptoms subside Ill take these about an hour before masturbation.
If you guys have any helpful advice, or just wanna wish me luck Id appreciate it. I could use all of the positive energy I can get.
