New finasteride victim, advice needed
So today has been a lot better. Looking back, the crash on Monday was probably caused by a combination of overtraining, stress and panicking.
In the days before my crash, I was constantly stressing over questions like: ”What if my 7-day juice feast wasn’t enough? Am I even gonna get benefits?”, ”Why is my libido going away?” also I was constantly checking myself if I could get hard. I feel like this combined with training 6x a week + 2x a week HIIT was what caused my panic attack/crash.
I feel like this is a wake up call that I need to try my best to just forget about PFS for a while, while continuing to live my life and doing the protocol.
Today I even felt almost 100% back to myself mentally after taking my herbs, which today was Cistanche. It lasted for only a while, but still nice to see that the old me is still there somewhere.. lol.

Also, depending on how my recovery’s going in a couple more months, I’ll probably do a longer juice feast in the future. I keep worrying that 7 days wasn’t enough. Seems like everyone else did at least 9-21 days.

Hey fellas, this is gonna sound really strange probably, but whatever. I suck at explaining things.
For the past week or so, ever since my panic attack/crash last Monday (still not sure which one it was), I’ve started experiencing some sort of derealization. Every time I think about something even remotely stressful, I start to feel REALLY anxious, spaced out, feeling like I’m going to pass out. I’m able to pull myself out of it by really focusing on my breath, being mindful, but as soon as my mind wanders again it happens once more. Probably my worst symptom right now, it happens pretty much daily! Feels like I literally can't think about ANYTHING without almost suffering a panic attack... Does anyone, especially CD, know what could help?
Interestingly I now also get a really spaced out feeling from cold showers as well, I no longer feel the endorphine rush i used to... probably a GABA or neurotransmitter issue?
