    Hey guys, okay, so the deal is ive been on nofap for a year now.
    im on day 2 right now but thats not important.
    The main thing is that i have been feeling brain foged for as long as i can remeber, even before i started seeing my addiction symptoms. Its like if i read i wont be able to understand 80% of the informartion and i find myself reading over and over again untill i get completley distracted and do something else.


    I have no patience what so ever! When people talk to me i found myself not listening and almost never understanding the whole story or topic. Also recently i have came to the conclusion that i have a poor vocabulary and thats one of the reasons i have difficulties expresing myself.


    i have barely read any books in my life ( i regret it a lot now ). I never did a lot in school or did i ever study, porn was always my escape when i got frustrated . So now even if i try to read i have no patience, no reading training, brain fog...

    I know its not to late to change,but now it will be extremly difficult to catch up. Im hungry for knowledge, now, i just dont know where to start. This is a big problem for me right now considering that im in a foreign country and its not my mother language. So i have a lot of difficulties in my new real estate school. English also isnt my first language as you can see lol.

    I need more culture and i am wondering is it only the brain fog from porn or even without it i will have such problems?
    Because when i was on my biggest streak of 43 days i felt superpowers but the brain fog was still there. Is it the lack of books and the lack of brain training or just pmo or maybe both?


    Other than that i am an athlete and a good looking guy ( not bragging but i know it, a lot of people tell me that ) my body is quite ripped and i have helped many people in getting their goals in sports and i have helped them mentaly, yet again my confidence is never consistent . I alwyas underestimate myself due to the lack of vocabulary. My biggest complex is feeling inadequate infront of people which sometimes puts a wall of fear which keeps me from attempting new things.

    I need advice on good books, movies , videos, songs , techniques , how to get better.

    Thanks for your time guys, im really sorry for the possible grammar mistakes lol as i said english isnt my first language.

    Have a nice day !
     
  2. Brain fog can be caused by over-stimulation, so you should stop watching shit like a porn, but also avoid video games, social media and scrolling meme pages.

    TL;DR

    43 days isn’t even half way through a reboot. I would suggest monk mode. Disconnect to reconnect. Unplug your computer, turn off your phone. Live in the moment. When the moment is dull, turn to a book. Read that book from cover to cover. Then see where you are at.

    Make sure you get all the nutrients.

    Zinc and iron may help

    Sweet, gotta try those sometime. Although sometimes my racing thoughts keep me up and I use PMO as a stress relief to help me fall asleep. I am going through some stressful situations at the moment and I rather not talk about it with anyone because I need to vent on something. And I found the right thing to vent on too as well. lol.

    Okay. Well for starters your English is fine. Believe me, as a professor, I see a lot of essays written by non native English speakers. The “word salads” they produce would give anyone a headache.

    Again your writing is coherent which is a sign your head is in order.

    As for your problem, see my post history which I suggest a very effective method for young men to get away from adult movie addiction.

    By the way don’t worry about the streak. Try thinking about how low you can keep your views per year. E.g. 2 views of adult material per year would be a great success.

    Yeah try it, a multivitamin that covers everything 100% (No need for higher, get that from food) and then eating healthy is a good start if you ask me

    I drink a lot of water (2-3 liter per day) and it helps my brain fog

    okay seems to me like your brain seems to be multitasking
    All you have to is distract it to remove the pain. I had a similar problem and all the time i was overthiinking staff and my friends and family said i had a low esteem and staff. I decided to read lots of books to improve my thinking, vocabulary, communication. Believe me reading is the source cure for all our problems. Just start small with fictional books or any type that suites you. You will start to notice some sweet effects.
