Have you experienced loss of memory?

I believe pot has been linked to some memory loss but not much and you would probably need to do it for several more years than two. PMO however, is very different. I have had pretty bad memory on it, my wife comments on it all the time. But when I found this website and started to abstain from PMO my memory improved. Look through the threads on here and you will find all kinds of people having memory problems.

 

I had definitely experienced memory loss when I used to fap and I can say that for sure! My brain just refuses to "answer" me when I want to recall or review a lesson of my studies or even the face of someone i've seen recently after doing PMO. Most recent pictures just get "blurry" and hard to recall especially for the first day and the day after that.It's about the third day or so when all the pictures get more "vivid". So yeah, PMO definitely causes memory loss.

 

Absolutely, I used to pride myself on my memory(still do on earlier ones) before my addiction started reaching its peak.
2013 is something I can remember, but a bit blurry.
2014 has major parts missing, I remember nothing except me finding about this addiction and withdrawal hitting me like a ton of bricks in a concrete bathtub, and a few trips I made. I like to call it the year I forgot(hurray drama!).

 

There are several issues but it also has some social ones too. I have many friends but tend to be shy and might take me a while to warm up to people. When I am on a good streak, I seem to be a lot more open and able to talk to anyone. Make new friends, meet girls no problem. But a long time ago I just thought I just wasn't someone that was good at it. But this all is reversed when abstaining from PMO along with improved memory. Dopamine has a lot to do with your memory so if you used it all on viewing porn you don't have any left for your memory.

 

so true... I thought I was the most introverted person the world has ever seen back when I was a wanker, but I'm starting to discover that it's the other way around..

 

Good for you, when I was doing pmo everyday i would have read the 6 digits then i would have immediately forgotten them and would have to look at them again. I would most likely have to write them down.

 

Yeah, my brain is a lot sharper when I don't fap.

 

On days when I relapse, if I am sending snapchats to people, within 5 minutes I forget what I sent.
It's shit.

 

without a doubt it has messed up my memory,sleep and i get brain fog

 

Absolutely Yeah,it's related to brain disorder ,pMo effects like effects of drugs and anesthetics so that may cause that ,iam19 year-universiy person and iam addicted to porn for about 5 years 14-19 and iam experiencing Disorder Memorizing abilities and iam studying microbiology and that's awful So it's related

 

Loss of memory? Lord knows I've tried.

 

I can remember number sequences better now, recalling some days later at work. Pretty impressed with that. Names I've been shit at remembering all my life but I know why now. Hopefully I'll see improvement there too
And my mind isnt clouded now either.

 

PMO harmed my memory a lot. My grades at university is very low. I always messed up information while answering questions on exam papers. I think PMO affects my verbal ability that is effective way to communicate with people. English is my second language, i always try to improve my ability to use English more efficiently but still i do not think i am at level where i wish to be. But good news is whenever i stopped PMO, things are getting better but at a slower rate.

 

When I'm acting out I'm really not all there. I'm not as good at calculating things and I think even my grammar is not so good sometimes.
