porn linked to mind loss?

not sure about that. do you consume "substances"?
I don't remember a lot of things from my childhood. I suffered a bit and I think I wanted the memories gone.

I also don't have a great short term memory.

 

Well, the medication might have that side effect, guess you can google that!
Sorry for the allusion to weed. I heard that it might screw up memory for some people.

 

How many times are you watching porn/ejaculating per day?

Semen has the same chemical composition as the central nervous system (governs the body and mind) abstaining from ejaculation will improve your memory/mind clarity.

 

@WhyNotStop i have a very strong belief that my memory loss is linked to porn..there is no other reason it would bloody go..i was awesome at mugging stuff in school and till sometime back, i couldnt remember a thing
But now i have started to recover..the thing is to stop stressing your brain about it! Its not simple but you will reach that point soon..i am sure ur having flashbacks and sometimes u will get the full memory..it will come back..believe me..stay clear of porn irrespective

 

My memory is shocking. Long term stuff great but give me a small shopping list or a few tasks to do and something will be forgotten. Can I say its down to addiction to this and to alcohol? Maybe it does but it is how life is and if I have to write down what bits I need from the shop then so be it.

 

Because of my bad ethics, I don't feel as mentally sharp as I did once. Exactly 3-4 years ago, I was way sharper, way wittier, understand what people communicated to me and was able to hold conversation and talk to people, I had a little social anxiety (who doesn't?) but could effortlessly start a conversation.

Hasn't been the case these days, in a way I literally feel dead inside but I know I'm slowly going to get my energy and life force back. Few of my personal beliefs about myself also weakened. Right now I'm training myself to hold my own space even better than before and improving my communication. I know I'm going to be better than ever before.

My head either feels empty or really heavy. Like I wanna sleep all the time to recharge but I know that won't help. I feel like I have literally mushed my mind and I need to unplug from everything to repair myself. There is very little I feel good about. Its like living in a world with constant ADD and ADHD but I know that drugs are not the solution to the problem. The solution is confronting your state and take responsibility for it.

Word salad is quite frequent for me nowdays but I know that condition can and will be eliminated. I make a lot of typos too, I'll minimise that as well. I have to go through everything I type a few times to make sure there are no mistakes. Its annoying but I can see where it comes from and why it happens.

 

At 47 I am really noticing the effects on short term memory and tinnitus too, if I stop masturbating for a few days the the tinnitus goes down and I feel really sharp and with it again, doesn't take long, just wish I could stay in that space

 

My memory came back and the brain fog is gone since i started nofap. It was really bad.

 

This isn't really helpful in terms of pmo, but I have this problem. I'm a 29 year old female. Not an addict. And I suffer with a terrible memory. I can't remember anything from my childhood really. Only when I see photographs or someone tells me a story of what happened.

I've also found a huge loss of concentration and difficulty in Stating focussed on anything. I'm very tired all the time as well. Been back and forth to the Dr and they haven't found anything wrong.

It may just be that you don't have a very good memory. I know mine is terrible. I guess you could try some brain training games to improve these things.

 

@WhyNotStop just stay away from porn for a month and hopefully you will notice a difference..breaking the need for porn is good enough to give space for focussing on other things..best of luck!
