Trying to focus on homework! Fuck me man, this feeling of distraction after 10 minutes of trying to read a book is getting old. Its not ADHD, its my brain wanting to take the easy way out, instead of succumbing to a little stress such as reading. Its freakin pathetic and annoying as shit. I notice the few days after I relapse I can focus, then the distractions start creeping up again. How long do these distractions last before you start thinking clearly? Help me guys, please. Can anyone relate? Students?
God This Is True! I Can Relate,It Has Been One Of The Main Reasons For My Relapses. But Now I Listen To Some great Soothing Music While Studying Or Even While Sleeping It Helps You Forget About The Urges I Have Got Some Great Soft Tracks PM Me If You Want Them I Will Send The Links Good Luck,Stay Strong
Can also definitely relate. My longest streak was about 15-16 days, and I kept giving in to the distractions, so I don't really know when/if they end, for me anyway. I say if cos I don't necessarily believe that they will end, I think that we just get better at refocusing and staying focused. Like breaking an old habit and creating a new one. A little manta that I picked up somewhere that helps in those situations and when it feels like you've not progressed is that change takes time.
I relate too guys! It's my 5th day and I feel like keep it up as long as I do chilled stuff like watching movies, youtube or playing pc games... but if I think about work or stressful stuff I feel the urge coming back... I guess I am on forced holiday for now if I am to do a longer streak... Let's be strong!
I am glad I'm not alone about this. I have been doing some meditating, like 10 breaths every time I feel my attention start to be adverted.
absolutely I can relate to this. On the rare occasion that i can withhold from PMO for 4 or 5 days, I'll start to gain confidence again. then i'll start looking at girls more and feeling.. kinda cocky i guess.. and then they start to instigate the urges and i'm back at square one for the millionth time. We just have to learn the dicipline to fight the urge when it comes on strong
