May I hear some stories about changing in energy.

For me, the reason I joined reboot brain nation is because my changing in energy.

I started regular masturbate when I was 16, and now after several years in the year 2011 I suddenly get social anxiety in an class. But this problem does not affect me a lot and I gradually "overcome" it. I mean my society anxiety doesn't disappear, I just can do my own job when it arises but still not relax.

The problem starts last year at about early Nov 2013. I gradually lost my energy, I feel sleepy everyday, my brain can hardly think memory and enjoy. Especially the happiness in life disappeared, nothing could makes me happy. Nothing (But I am a really optimistic person and my life is pretty enjoyable, I used to feel happy and excited everyday but now there is really nothing can make me happy or excited). Everyday I just feel so sleepy after 2 hours I get up.

After about 4 months, something bigger happened, not only sleepy, this is so hard to describe:
1. I feel brain fog after two hours I get up, I can hardly think, accompany with this even my eyes do not want to turn since my brain is so uncomfortable.
2. I even don't know what im doing sometimes.
I don't want to list all of them, but mainly my brain is tired, hard to think and memory.

Does anybody has this kind of whole day sleepy issue and recovered by get rid of porn???

Yes. I almost completely recovered from brain fog around 40 days PMO free, it has been the best improvement so far.

I too suffer from the same problems. Social anxiety and brain fog have made my life like hell. I always feel lethargic. I have gone PMO free for a maximum of 15 days since I have started rebooting. Brain fog was a little clearer, but social anxiety was there. I have started again with a better target, hope to feel better.

I had all of the symptoms you described and more.    Low confidence, brain fog, social anxiety, general anxiety, social awkwardness, inability to connect with girls etc. 



Good news is that it goes away.  I'm feeling better every single day.    But you need to be completely clean from porn and masturbation for a long period of time. 


20-30 day streaks won't work.  I wasted a year and a half on that.    You need MONTHS of being completely clean.
