I am a hypochondriac and I have brain fog for a while. I feel terrible about this. I am freaked out

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Sep 18, 2018.

  1. I am suffering from brain fogs. It's depressive. I can't think properly, my memory is low almost gone. Trouble remembering etc etc. I'm terrified and I got panic attacks because of this. I always worry I have brain tumor or other incurable disease. It makes me can't function normally and people don't know about it. I told my parents and they thought I was a crybaby. It really didn't help me at all.

    Have you guys experienced these symptoms of brain fogs when you can't think properly? I am on day 58 of no masturbation and day 16 of no porn. I'm really terrified. Please someone help me I'm having a mental breakdown. Yes I am a hypochondriac and always worry and anxious a lot when something unusual happen and I always end up thinking all night and all day.

    I always think this brain fog can be cancer and nobody understands me and I will die because people don't believe me. I'm thinking a lot. I don't feel like myself and I feel very hopeless.

    I can't concentrate to anything because I over think about my brain fogs I feel really really terrible. I have this numb feelings inside my head. I've never experienced this kind of sensation and feelings on my nofap journey. Well the sensation started around day 74 but then I relapsed. It really concerns me... I feel trapped and hopeless and weak
     
  2. By the numb sensation you mean like pressure in temples, eyes, forehead and inside head? Like a wave sensation or a vice feeling around temples? I get it too.

    Brain fog is only starting to clear up for me after the last two weeks now. I have had brain fog for years. If your symptoms are from porn you cannot ever relapse otherwise they come back even stronger and last longer.

  3. Please please please calm down and stop worrying. You may have some withdrawals but it does not help to add "health anxiety" to them.

    There's too much for me to talk about on this subject and it's a shame that your parents were so unhelpful, so I suggest you look into an app called headspace and if you can, visit a doctor and be honest with all your concerns if you want to also, it will eventually help calm you down
     
  4. Yes that's right! It feels like pressure inside my head but it's not too tight . it's so annoying tho and I also have crappy memories. I don't follow when people are talking to me. I forget things most of the time. I tend to think about having terminal illness since I have health anxiety. I can't sleep thinking about it :( .

    I am on day 59 of nofap and day 16 of not watching porn. Is this some kind of dopamine withdrawal? Please help I'm frustrated
     
  5. Chill bro, what you are experiencing is normal, from the brain fog, to the forgetfulness etc, i have experienced it all. I still do today. To help resolve this, understand first that this is a sign your body has recognised the changes happening. it is being starved of porn and orgasm and it mad. Hold on and you will be through. The only way out is through.

    The chemical imbalance in the brain is what causing all the headache and co. I have experienced it all.
    So Do not panic, it will go down after a while and you will have your health back to normal, i have been there.
    Also going swimming, cycling, jogging and weight lifting can help you see the symptoms of withdrawal go off faster. Masturbation and porn to me is worse than cocaine.

    Go jogging and sweat heavily, you can do that every other day. Exercising is a powerful ally in this war, it helps your body restore order quickly, it serves as a means to release sexual energy and also helps your focus on something else apart from porn. Exercising will also increase your testosterone so your libido may go up.

    The only problem with you is porn and masturbation, walk away and watch everything settle down in time. Just be patient okay.

    You're gonna be alright man. Try to be as patient with yourself and this healing process as you can be. Your body and brain are out of whack right now and these withdrawals are just something that you're gonna have to go through to get to the other side.

    I think I almost experienced something similar to you. When I was on around 1 month-ish mark, there's something that triggered my "health worries". So I was surfing in yt, and I saw a really creepy thumbnail, and after seeing it I felt a kind of sharp pain on my heart (panics(?)) and my heartbeat went really went out of control. After that, the picture that triggered me haunted me for weeks, and on those weeks, my eyes gets blurry (not everytime), I feel lightheaded, and I feel like my heartbeat is irregular and faster than normal. And all those things gets worse at night, I don't know why. Theres some times that "depression" feeling hits me hard out of nowhere and made felt really down. I googled about heart disease alot at that time, and it made me more worried about my health, it got to the point where I was actually worried will I be alive the next day when I was about to sleep. I don't how, but it goes away overtime and all of those things disappeared in around 3 weeks. I think what you' re experiencing is some kind of nofap side effect, but might be real tho.

  8. PMO addiction like all addictions at a point may start messing with your blood vessels and nerves etc, I have been there. I went to take tests at a cardio centre etc. I was diagnosed with HBP but in my heart I always knew if I stopped PMO it would fade off and there are many stories like that on the internet. Anytime you see a flash of porn or any sexy looking female your heart skips a beat. This is how messed up your brain and body is at these addiction times.

    Stop being a pervert and you will see those symptoms go up to a point and start coming down and fading away If you quit PMO your body will now use all that energy to repair itself and push the body to balance. Just make sure you don't cross the repairable damage bother line.

    Health is precious my friends let us understand this and put up a war to restore order, discipline, gentility and maturity to our lives
