I find that when I get brain fog, it's often alleviated, by one, some, or all of: Exercise Going outside Drinking water. Drinking coffee or tea. Drinking a pop. Eating a meal. Eating fruit or vegetables. Taking a shower. Taking a crap. Do not underestimate this one. Seriously.
I don't know. For me, it varies, and I don't know how it would be for you. But the only way to find out is to try some stuff and see what happens.
Depends also on what normal feels like for you (I would think) You're still quite young, so whatever damage has been done will be less than others ... Ie you have the possibility of feeling normal sooner. Here's the thing, if you've become addicted to pmo, you probably have done so as an avoidance strategy. Some unpleasant things in life can't be altogether avoided or at all. When difficult circumstance come up - we're not going to "feel normal". But everyone experiences difficult circumstances from time to time (or they create them). So ... Feeling anxiety is sometimes normal. The good news is by stopping pmo you can be 100% sure that fewer difficult circumstances will arise than if you hadn't ... Since avoiding these for the most part makes them worse.
