I've seen people on this forum talk about having some really unique and severe cognitive symptoms from POIS, such as forgetting how to do simple things like unloading a dishwasher, using their phone, etc. Basically things that were so natural and automatic before suddenly became difficult, and in some cases it took them weeks or months to properly learn how to do those things again.

Has anyone here actually become genuinely delusional from their POIS symptoms though? When I had POIS my cognitive symptoms were already extremely severe, but when my symptoms eventually changed and became chronic, the cognitive impairment got so bad that I genuinely became delusional and started believing things that weren't true at all, such as believing I was God.

Ik that sounds a lot more like something completely unrelated to POIS. But at the same time, considering how severe cognitive impairment from POIS can apparently get for some people, I wonder if it's possible for that impairment to become severe enough that someone's judgment and ability to properly interpret reality gets affected too. Especially since for me it felt like the worse my overall cognitive symptoms became, the worse my ability to properly judge and understand things became as well.

I'm just curious if anyone else here has ever experienced anything similar, like genuinely believing things that weren't true, having extremely impaired judgment/reasoning, or basically feeling like your ability to properly understand reality was affected during really severe POIS symptoms.

Is this one of the main things causing it to get worse?

Aside from the nose job, what did clavicular have done to his face that makes him look handsome? From his earlier photos of his looksmaxxing journey you can tell that he looks a lot different, from what it seems, he's had something done to his eyes for sure, i was just wondering exactly what he did.

So pretty much, I found what would take my symptoms away, and that was butter / concentrated fat.

​

At the time I was addicted to jerking off so to fix my issue, instead of abstaining, I decided to eat a tablespoon of butter after each ejaculation.

​

After a couple weeks of trying this I noticed that the constant back and forth of ejaculating, then fixing the symptoms with fat then a few days later ejaculating again, and then repeating the cycle, caused my POIS symptoms to change and become chronic.

​

Now, ejaculating doesn't make my symptoms worse, and abstinence doesn't make it better, and eating fat no longer fixes my symptoms.

​

I'm asking two things. Was it an unusual or bad idea eating fat after each ejaculation?

​

And, has anyone else who has tried to use their "fix" after each ejaculation, trigger a chronic state?

For those who have cognitive impairment like logic, memory, social awareness etc, what medications have helped treat or fix those symptoms?

Currently I'm facing chronic and severe cognitive impairment and other symptoms that all came from POIS, so I'm wondering what could possibly treat this.

Personally, I took several big hits of really strong weed with basically no tolerance, and it caused mild derealization for me that’s persisted for about a year now. It never became super severe, but things have felt kind of off/unreal ever since.

I’m curious if anyone else experienced something similar after overdoing strong weed, or if your experience was completely different.
