I’ve had it three times already in the last 2 years and it is something real. Dizziness and depressive swings is the first that comes, then comes memory loss and finally trouble with speech.

At this point you should stop risking to burn your central cognitive capacity. Be advised.

Note: myself a passionate Claude code user with multi agent parallel approach to dev. Plus 30 yrs of various oldskool dev experience. My blood and sugar and all tests are all within norm, and I bike and swim regularly. I’m not a major drinker and try to avoid alcohol in general. I count 25 trees outside my window and I’m not on any amphétamine pill such as Adderall.

Well the fact you didn’t even mention it means it’s probably the thing that most men your age start suffering from. Cumulative damage and becoming drained from too many orgasms during your lifetime. Sorry bud to break it to you but those are the classic symptoms depression , dizziness, memory loss and speech problems. You need to research how Chinese traditional medicine reverses this. Basically it means 24 months total abstinence or else you will progressively become more cuckish and mentally weakened

Whatever causes "burnout", it doesn't seem to be actual degradation of neurons. Your brain doesn't get used up and burn out like a lightbulb. It's more of an emotional state.
