Low sex drive/motivation(former antidepressant user)

[Espaim]

Update after 6 months.

After one more 3g mushroom trip on January my sex drive came back fully but it backfired. Now I'm addicted to porn.

Shit. I must thereon be more careful with my wishes.

I also started taking Ritalin in December. It made me very anxious and helped with motivation only a bit. Now I'm using Modafinil.

General changes since september:

• Not a vegetarian anymore;
• I don't feel cognitive dysphoria as often;
• I feel less tired overall;
• Quitted caffeine completely (no chocolate, no coffee, no caffeine pills);
• Quitted soda completely;
• Quitted refined sugar (had a relapse or 2);
• I've been much more social (till coronavirus  )

Didn't change:

• My motivation to do things didn't change that much. I procrastinate even on Modafinil (even though I'm able to complete more tasks while on it).
• I still eat a considerable amount of chips.
• I quit the gym because I had no money then I got back on it on february.

Planning to(next 6 months):

• I started a simple aerobic exercise last week and I plan to follow it for at least 3 months 4x/week;
• Reduce the amount of fapping per week to 2 and eliminate porn;
• Stop eating wheat (I already reduced wheat comsumption a lot, I just didn't stop completely);
• Go to a dietitian and plan my eating habits accordingly; 

 

I'm probably not going to update this anymore because this is the Health section.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

• You might want to talk to an actual doctor and get some blood work done.
• Avoid plastics, flame retardants and pesticides. Some of these can be hormone disruptors
• Like others have said try ditching soy because of the hormone disruptors
• How's your bodyfat level?
• 5-10 eggs seems excessive to me

Eggs are fine, 4-6

Too much masturbation can cause problems too.

@Germo Eggs are fine, 8-12.

Honestly, I can't imagine myself eating less anytime soon, it's like the best protein source imo.

Many people are allergic tho.

@StarStruck Actually? I thought it's only a problem for older people

@Villager Albert there is a whole movement called NoFap, started by young guys. Apparently it is an epidemic.

@StarStruck Yeah I'm gonna do no nut november as well but I'm not sure if it actually boosts testosterone, it can actually cause a decrease it if you do it for 90+ days right.
