    Does anyone know someone with this, or what they did to
    treat it?

    A good friend of mine stopped going out a while back and we
    just thought he was a stoner, but it turns out he was just
    sleeping all day.

    I have a friend with this. She eventually had to leave Japan and go back to the UK. She had a job there, but had to leave it. AFAIK, there's not a very effective treatment.

    Actually yes, myself!

    How do you stop it? Well, it's just about taking care of yourself, stop smoking, stop drinking coffee, get plenty of excercise, good diet, etc. Most importantly though is to reduce the amount of stress in your life.

    You can go to the doctor and get whatever meds they'll give you, but that's just slapping a band aid on the problem, the root lies in lifetyle choices.

    Could have a case of depression possibly. As said before taking care of self properly and getting out more should help it a bit.

    its usually connected to depression isnt it?

    ive also heard that if you improve your diet and force yourself to excercise/soSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMe more that it will pass or atleast improve, but if it is rooted in a depression it might take proffesional help to get out of it..

    ed: wtf just happened with my post???

    Happened to me the other day it`s because of CIA_LIS which is banned and blocked by the spam filter. So you cant say any word with that letter combination in. Such as SPE(CIA_LIS)E or SO(CIA_LIS)E.

    this might sound funny but it isnt:

    over-masturbation can cause fatigue and diminished desire to do much besides sleeping.

    The reason behind this is

    a) physical exhaustion

    b) every orgasm is a shock to the nervous system, hence a burden on the nervous system

    c) adrenaline and serotin addiction (hence any activities that seem obligatory will be avoided, as during those non-desired activities the body produces little "fun stuff" in the brain)

    d) loss of spinal fluid

    e) it takes time for the body to recover, especially at older ages

    f) psychological factors both in the sense of addiction as well as social rejection (leading to solitary masturbation) - the feeling of comfort and autonomy are also illusions that lead to avoiding social interaction

    g) exhesive DHT (a by-product of Testosterone, released in the body after erections and/or orgasms, responsible for hair loss for example etc) makes the person aggressive, pessimistic, stressed and is a burden for the body to get rid of.


    I recall reading that sexual activity of more than 2-4 times a week in people above 20-25 is classified as "over-doing" it , in bodily terms.


    PS: Naturally, all physical symptoms described above also apply to sexual intercourse. However, the psychological effect is vastly different and actually stimulant to "get out there and do people".

    I have had CFS for the last 4 years, I almost quit college due to that...

    Tell me about it!: all my best friends are gone (7 due to work, 3 to study and 2 are DEAD:-() I'm having serious doubts about my professional future, girls dont give a crap about me anymore cuz "you're a good guy, like a brother" and go with guys who treat them like shit, and to make things worse last week I let my dad use my brand new car and he smashed it!:DOH:

    Now I may have to add stomach issues to my CFS since I'm having a really fucking annoying ache there and my doctor thinks it may be due to increassing stress.

    Thank god my heart is still working, cuz a friggin heart attack is the last thing I need right now...

    Funny you mention that cuz I used to spank the monkey during my teens (who didnt?) yet I was very active at the time and did all kinds of sports like taekwondo, tennis and golf. Nowadays I only go to the gym and becos I've to...

    With all the problems I have today I barely give a crap about sex anymore...

    EDIT: if you ask me the reason for my CFS is simple: I'm not doing what I would like to do with my life.

    I'm out of luck, it seems everything I do goes wrong and I'm left in an even worst situation than before I did anything, so the best thing I can do is not doing anything so bad stuff wont happen to me (childish I know, but when desperation comes and theres no better solutions at hand you do what you can to keep on breathing).

    So basically my lack of willingness to try new things (due to my fear of fucking things up even more) is the source of my CFS.
