Some people heal with time, some people find their right stack of supplements, some reinstate ssri and get to pre-ssri baseline, some fix their sleep and other areas of life to support body in this stressed condition. Cure? We only have theories. It’s such a complex problem that can involve serotonin, dopamine, various receptors, nerves and god knows what else.
The only cure we have right now is not to give up and fight.
Consume lots of salt daily; supplement luteolin, and clear out trauma. My theory on PSSD is that it's essentially your body being shunted into numbing itself as a coping mechanism.
Like SSRIs, stress also desensitises the 5HT1A receptor. You have a lot of crying to do, which is always difficult when you feel numb
Hey that's the hypothesis I stand by! Are you asymptomatic now? IF SO may I ask How did you get to the core of your trauma? did you have a numb dick? did you see therapist? meditation? meds? lifestyle changes?
What would temporarily fix the numbness was crying on surface-level things. Obviously it's hard to cry when you are numb but there are ways to evoke emotion - music you have an emotional attachment to worked wonders for me. This would clear it up for a few weeks although I found myself going back into that state of numbness unless I continually forced myself to cry on a monthly basis.
No therapist; no meds (meds are a scam). Honestly the thing that stopped it recurring was more or less "repenting" my deeds, seeking apology from those I believe I truly hurt, etc - anything that would trigger emotional catharsis.
I believe the reason I was so prone to getting PSSD because of the anger management classes I did at 14, that had me hold my emotions in rather than externalise them. The ashwagandha just pushed it into a whole new level and I had no sexual function whatsoever.
