It's insane how POIS can completely reverse my personality

[Suppertime]

Last week after not masturbating for 2 weeks, I had an amazing few days. I was funny, confident, outgoing and even smarter! I could feel the energy raging inside of me.  I was a new man.

And then I blew it (literally). Now I'm back to the boring, depressed, lonely person I've been.

This sucks.

It's so rare that we are "free", that we begin to feel that the POISer in you is the real you.

We are in there. The free, outgoing, happy, witty self, the REAL self.

We have to rescue him.....

That's gotta be worth investing in.

completely agree, Suppertime. In POIS, I'm quick to anger, extremely cynical, just a plain asshole to everyone around me, and people definitely notice it. When I am out of POIS its like being reborn, such a strange condition...

[Going less Crazy]

I am the same way.  So motivated out of POIS but when I do get POIS it is like I am the inverse of "me".  Now I just need to remember to have a planned O so my POIS will be considerably much less if there at all.

I haven't ejaculated in a week and I feel amazing. A lot more confident, and approachable. I was flirting with some of old girl friends as practice which I would NEVER do under the POIS circumstances.

I have been taking no medication; just weird brain chemicals working the way it should.

Totally. With POIS I have pretty much zero motivation. I feel very unfomfortable and just want to sleep. My memory is seriously affected too. POIS is such a gross feeling.

You certainly have _my_  affirmation on that!

HI i really need some help, i suffer from this since puberty i am 20 years old now and it is ruining my life. i registered to this forum to see if i can get some help.. OK for some reason any time i ejaculate with sex, masturbation or night emission, i get these symptoms for at least a week, day 2/3 is the worst, it effects me both physical and mental in a major way More mental though.  depression,  intense discomfort,irritability, anxiety and difficult in concentrating also hard to think straight, i also feel weak and it seems almost like it weakens my personality , i really dont know what to do, if i dont ejaculate in any way for a week-2weeks i feel somewhat ok and i get my strength back both mental & physical. its like i must be relising some hormone or SOMETHING that is effecting me. really i dont know. iv been to my doctor about it and he said he has never heard of it. so all ive been able to do is reasearch the internet and iv found out about this condition Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome... i try not to ejaculate in anyway anymore, and when or if i do i get these symptoms big time...i would say its the depreshion and anxity that bothers me the most but still suffer from the rest of the symptoms mentioned.. Any help or advice i would really appreciate it.. could you inbox me if any.

I go from extreme extrovert alpha male to woody allen in a few seconds, like a salmon that dies after it procreates.

I completely lose all my swagger during pois. I become a different person, more introverted, less happy, very uncomfortable.

i feel just like a dead salmon too...it sucks!! some plants die after they procreate as well.....sometimes i wonder if our entire culture has put too much emphasis on orgasm as some "amazing healthy thing" when in reality, its like sacrificing a part of yourself each and every time. and that people with POIS are just more sensitive to the true nature of what an orgasm really is from a natural standpoint.

i mean it's a natural fact that EVERY male has somewhat of a crash after orgasm. you hit that pleasure high and then you fall back down right after. it's like people with POIS are actually just more sensitive to the natural chemical changes that occur with orgasm. i also have this sense that almost EVERY guy has at least *slight* POIS symptoms from time to time...most just don't want to admit it. but who knows.
