In a haze

Hey everyone. I'm currently on day 8 of the 90 day challenge and I am experiencing really bad brain fog. I was feeling fine but starting late yesterday I started feeling a little hazy and today its gotten extremely bad. I'm feeling tired, confusion, no motivation, thoughts are in slow motion and I'm numb, I feel like an emotionless zombie. This sucks because I have to work and can't take it easy but the brain fog has to be a good sign that my brain is healing. Has anyone else experienced this while rebooting and have any advice?

 

Yeah I think so too. I just have to power through it but I will try to take it as easy as I can.

 

Glad to know I'm not alone citizen01. Yeah, from all the stuff I've read its caused from the lack of mostly dopamine and some other chemicals that were released when we were PMOing. We don't have a way to force those chemicals out since we're not PMOing anymore and we're feeling the effects of withdrawal. Brain fog is a good thing though and we have to go through it because it means our brains are beginning the healing process and starting to chemically rebalance. I hope you feel better too and sleep as much as possible, it helps your brain. Good luck on your reboot.

 

Thanks david-ca. You're right and yeah relapse briefly crossed my mind too. I'll power through it and hopefully it won't take too long to pass. I'm excited for the good things I'll get out of this.

 

Oh absolutely. I come to nofap now more than any other website. I don't think I'd be able to do this on my own, I've tried and failed many times before coming here.
