How does "brain fog" feel for you?

  1. You’re quite lucky in the sense you caught it early on then. Don’t go back to it man, it gets far far worse.

    It took about two weeks for it to be completely gone. That was the point my vision started to become noticeably sharper and my working memory became much stronger.
     
  3. Did your brain fog feel like you were in a dream state?

    Mine does. I couldn't diffenrentiate between brain fog, depersonalisation and derealization.

    Call it dream state or everything feeling unreal or hazy...

    In hindsight, yes.

    I'm much more rooted in reality while the propensity to fantasize or day dream falls under my control. Instead of fantasizing bullshit, you direct the skill and energy of imagination into real work. You see solutions faster because you can see them in your mind as real then make them real. This is what Nikola Tesla was talking about when he didn't have to experiment, he just imagined his inventions until they were perfect and then made them real. He was just on another level of genius, but we tap into that type through saving our energy.

    Hi there

    feeling little bit hot on my face red after when I was talking fast and had concentrate and then after a moment i feelt heated on the face. at the same time a heavy feeling in the head that something pumps in and out inside the ear. but much better today than before

    I walked from the meeting felt foolish that people saw me in the face.

    Mine lasted eighteen months.
     
  13. Did it go by itself gradually?

    Fairly constant then abruptly ended over night at the eighteenth month mark. During those eighteen months, the intensity of the symptoms varied (It was bad normally but it got worse sometimes especially under stress and intellectual challenge).
     
  15. So was everything gradual then? It’s going really slow with me but I am seeing an improvement. If I get what you’re saying, all your symptoms went away over night over 18 months?

    It wasn't gradual. During those eighteen months, it stayed fairly constant and there was no sign of improvement. On the eighteenth month mark, it went abruptly. I remember waking up totally "healed" one morning after a night of suffering. It wasn't gradual but abruptly on the eighteenth month mark.

    When did you get erections back? Was that gradual or a sudden return? If it was a sudden return of erections, how is that even possible?

    I am not referring to PIED. I never had PIED due to the fact that I didn't stay long enough with Porn. I am referring to the cognitive and emotional symptoms caused by pmo. Check my topics for a list of these symptoms.

    To me the brain fog made me less sharp and less aggressive. Everything to me is like, alright, fine, let it be, I don't care. And the feeling was like I'm not wide awaken.
