PMO related brain changes.

Hi. Since being adversely being affected by PMO I have noticed these affects on my body which have had major consequences on my life which have also been widely perceived by the YBOP community :
No motivation- PMO'ing to porn and being shocked by shock sites diminished my motivation for life. In the end, my motivation became so scarce that I was not able to get up on time to school, nor go to school. My absence impacted my grades. Moreover the PMO related brain changes mean that even today I feel less motivated to work; albeit I've recovered a bit since then.

Less concentration- I could not keep focus on work and therefore my work ethic worsened to this date.
Worse working memory- The ability to retain information reduced and revision became harder.
Distractable/curiousness - I could not focus on work and became distracted.
Obviously, you can see how my grades fell from A*'s to C's and U's.
I have managed to improve a lot however and would like to know if you whether the brain changes related to PMO are reversible, and if so to what extent, if not fully.

This is very common and something i am dealing with. My motivation has been so low lately that I have cravings for junk food but no motivation to actually go out and get it.

The good news is that it is temporary, and the brain can rewire itself. I've been researching a lot and looking at success stories and a lot of people say that all the symptoms that are the worst during a reboot will often be the things that will make the biggest improvement.

Keep at it, don't give up!  :)
