Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this forum and genuinely seeking all your help and suggestions.
So i don't use to masturbate very frequently but one night I just forced myself to masturbate and i wasn't even ready I just pushed myself a lot.
And suddenly I felt something in my head..as if my brain got fried and some kind of pain in head. My whole body became numb and felt some sudden rush.
I thought next morning it will be okay but I started getting blurry vision and i changed as a person. Felt exhausted.
Few days back I got to know that what I'm facing is dp/Dr.
Any help please.
Anyone who got it bcoz of masturbation and we're they able to recover.?
It already been an year in my case and i have still not recovered at all and my condition is getting worst.
Can masturbation cause severe dp/Dr?
Can we recover from it?
Can it cause some trauma in your brain as I'm facing severe physical symptoms.

Please help

Requesting to please share your experiences and help me for the recovery
Would you consider your life before that moment, a stress full day to day life, where you would get anxiety and just stress a lot ?
Hey Elliot,
Thanks for responding!
Yes i have been very stressed few days back before I did masturbation that night that too in a forceful manner.
Since that moment my life has changed. I went to so many doctors and they all say that masturbation Cannot cause this. It's just anxiety.
I have dealt with anxiety few years back but it was general anxious feeling and sleep issues. Also it use to settle on its own in few days. I never took any medications for it.
So i always use to think that doctors are telling me it's anxiety but I feel it's something else I use to get brain zaps, sleep jerks, cognitive impairment, blurry vision and head pressure.
I also checked with doctor that is it trauma or something.
Few days back I found its dp/Dr ad i was not aware bout this but all my symptoms matched.
I'm really scared as it's taking away my life.. i can't function.
Please help me with your suggestions.. how to recover from this?
Please please..it's already been an year since am struggling
And have you been resisting this DP/DR state 12/7 ?

As you notice the symptoms, and then think negatively about it. Wanting it to end etc
No.. i was not aware only that its dp/Dr.
I was in the belief that it's anxiety that's what doctors told me so i thought it will settle on its own(i was going as per my previous experience)
But it was only getting worse and then I found last month that its dp/Dr.
That’s a first…. sheeesh.
Sorry.. didn't understand!
like it’s my first time hearing about someone getting dp/dr from masturbating.

in terms of recovery exposure works really well (at least for me).

see if you can see someone who specialises in exposure or emdr therapy - they’re both worth a shot.

Okay..even doctors don't believe me.
But could forceful masturbation cause dp/Dr? Like when u do things in a forceful manner which might have triggered dp/Dr?
I felt sudden pressure in my head that moment and something rushing in my hand..my whole body became numb.
And next morning everything changed.
I have tried psychotherapy but that didn't help at all.
I get severe head pressure , blurry vision , cognitive impairment , can't think , can't feel myself.
Shall I take professional help?
there is a very big difference between masturbation and real sex for the body
So masturbation can cause this?
So masturbation can cause this?
Please help me know can we recover dp/Dr caused bcoz of masturbation
