    I'm currently on day 74 of nofap. I've been experiencing brain fog symptoms such as forgetfulness, inattentiveness, bad memory, foggy thinking, anxiety, and loss of interest in hobbies for the past 3-6 weeks. Yesterday I made the decision to become vegan and become more healthy so I can lose this brain fog. When will I lose this brain fog and is it possible I have dementia. I am 16 years old and this has never happened before nofap. Also some crazy girl in my class pranked me and showed me a picture of a guy's penis. I immediately looked away. Does this count as a relapse.

    I am 16 years old. I've been on nofap for 78 days. At the age of 11 is when I became addicted to PMO. But I didn't masturbate by "jerking off" until I was 14. Before then I would rub my penis against the floor until I orgasm'd (feels weird typing this). I thought that was the normal way to masturbate. I'd masturbate at least 2-3 times a day. Sometimes four but rarely. But during my PMO days I was social, funny, clever, spontaneous and adventurous. I've been in nofap for the last 78 days and it feels like I've been flatlining forever. For the last 3-7 weeks I haven't been able to think clearly, can't concentrate, have to stop and find my words and just feel like a complete idiot and I'm very forgetful. I also loss interest in things I enjoy. I'm starting to think I have dementia. I've had days where I feel emotionally numb. I'm almost on day 90 and still didn't really notice anything if anything it feels like nofap made me feel worse than PMO. At least during PMO days I was outgoing and clever. Now I just feel like a recluse. Is this normal on nofap and when does it end.

    Seeing that picture is not a relapse. Relapses are when you intentionally indulge in pmo. As for the brain fog, I don't believe anyone will be able to give you a specific time for when it will end. If you have been pmoing for years then you will want to have patience with the reboot process. I personally think those who've been doing pmo for years will need longer than 90 days.

    You could try and see the brain fog as an idle state that your brain is used to since it doesnt have to work its gears much to get its fix of dopamine. When you quit P, you replace it with something else that you value or like, and this *should* get your gears going. That's when your brain fog has the best chances to clear forever.

    At 16 the risk that you're hit with dementia is pretty slim, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. Remember that you're going through withdrawal and there are symptoms, weird sensations and feelings and thoughts that arise. Patiently observe what's happening during those stages, and sooner or later it will fade, and surely the idea of dementia will be invalidated. :)
