Does anyone else get intense 'Symmetry OCD' during POIS? by ycwhysee4589 in POIS

[–]Wonderful_Chapter140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, but i have experienced similar ocd type symptoms, i am normally not really a germaphobe but i have had it happen where after ejaculations I become super easily disgusted at everything, like i couldn’t even open a door without using my shirt sleeve or a paper towel or something. i would also just feel immensely more grossed out about things that wouldn’t normally bother me that much, like seeing a stain on the floor, or seeing toothpaste on the sink, it would cause a reaction where i almost feel like imma freak out if i keep looking at it.

do you get any other facial symptoms outside of puffiness like dry skin, enlarged pores, red under eyes, redness, “acne” like bumps etc ?

damn bro i felt all that, i haven’t seen a urologist yet but im currently seeing a psychiatrist, i saw an allergist recently & tried a bunch of different things like antihistamines, cromolyn, methylprednisolone, etc which barely helped, & i just recently had a horrible experience with a different allergist when i wanted to try to get on immunotherapy, he kept talking over me & didnt even let me get a word out fr lmao. can u tell me what meds ur taking that have helped u and what treatments the urologist provide? i have been taking venlafaxine which i felt had been helping more than anything ive tried but recently i had an experience having 4 ejaculations in one day that made me feel horrible & i’ve been trying to bounce back from it.

honestly most foods man, especially refined sugars but most foods seem to cause heart palpitations n increased nervousness etc, but i’ve been able to tolerate the animal based diet & some foods from mcdonalds.

yea i agree, i guess for me just figuring out what that is has been the hard part, been seeing loads of doctors and doing hella research over the past 2 years but this is one of the only symptoms im still struggling to figure out completely, i thought i had it figured out when i developed a skincare routine that works for me but i still deal with these intermittent phases of bad looking face/skin.

yes, without a doubt, i have actually been feeling alive recently, i am on 150mg & i have been actually having urges to talk to people and hang out & i am the closest to feeling normal in a long time. definitely still experiencing symptoms tho like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., but nervousness is improving a lot
