has frequent fabbing affected your work and studies?

I did fap a lot the last four months during my semester due to stress and anxiety. When I did this during the day of exams, I performed poorly compared to other times where I did not. When it was finals, I did not masturbate, did very good and passed my semester.
 
I feel watching porn fucked all my secondary school education, college and part of my apprenticeship. It felt like I wasn’t engaged and everything required extra effort, I couldn’t take nothing in at all my memory was shot to shit.

I sincerely believe I would of been living a different life had I not compulsively took this soul destroying habit up at a young age, fuck porn.

I totally agree. We are in the same boat. I would have had a better education, if I hadn't given in to this horrible thing.
Do you you feel any better after 453 days of not fabbing?
 
So I'm not alone. I have 271 days and I still have not recovered my full mental energy. After all, lately it's definitely better. I am telling you quite seriously that I was unable to think normally, not to mention learning, a few years ago. Because of this addiction I could not talk to people. I had a complete emptiness in my head as if I was some kind of idiot. It's much better now, but there are times when I'm with people and I want to talk, but I can’t. I don’t know if it is dopamine or what.

do you have any health complications?
 
A big YES in my case. I discovered masturbation a bit later than most of my classmates. I went to an all-boys junior high school, where the topic of fapping was highly popular and once they poked fun of me when they found out that I didn't know what they were talking about.

Before I became a fap extraordinaire, I was top of my class. My teachers praised me for my diligence and hard work, and one told my Mom that I was the sharpest student she had ever had the pleasure of teaching.

After I discovered fapping, which was a few weeks before my 14th birthday, it just had a numbing effect on everything. My grades slowly dropped and I started losing interest in my hobbies. By the time I graduated from high school, I was an alright student. But I was becoming more and more withdrawn, shy and awkward.

In college, my fap habit had manifested to dangerous levels. I would sometimes skip classes in the mornings, got really forgetful and took me ages to understand things. I was a far cry from the intelligent middle schooler I was known for and barely scraped through those three years.

Well, since I never bothered to keep my habit under control until recently, I have lost many friends, got really, really lazy and just stopped making an effort to keep learning and improving myself. I'm just two weeks into my NoFap journey, but I can already see the positive effect it is having on me.
 
Right now in my fifth semester, but I am supposed to be in seventh.

I'm so sorry but tell me how long had you been fapping before you stopped?
 
Let me put it this way:

Primary School: 1st place / 2nd place. Never 3rd; not even once. Passed for one of the top 3 secondary schools in the country. (Arguably number 1)

Grade 6: 1st / 2nd / 3rd in all subjects except history and geography which I hated. Was awarded a certificate of merit. 85% average.
Grade 7: 2nd in my entire class based on overall performance. Was awarded a ceritifcate of merit. 89% average.

*discovered masturbation*​
(From this point on, I MO'd exactly once everyday. On days where I'd fall sick, I wouldn't do it at all.)

Grade 8: nowhere in the top 3. Average student. Nearly failed chemistry once. 69% average.
Grade 9: performance slighly increased because I started getting serious. I'd have to study everything 4-5 times to even understand anything. I'd take an hour to read 2 pages, i shit you not. 75% average.
Grade 10: i thought M was a normal thing for everyone and continued. Would run out of energy very quickly. Couldn't memorise anything. Couldn't understand anything. Learnt everything off without thinking. Had to put in 3x the effort to achieve good results. Passed with 90%+ marks but only with high effort in the last 2 months. Achieved all distinctions.
Grade 11: Picked Bio, Chem, Phys, Cim Sci and english. Memory comparable to a fly. Had a serious breakdown towards the end of the year. 79% average but that was great for this level. 1st in class in English. 2nd in class in Com Sci. 3rd in class in Bio.
Grade 12: absolute hell. Procrastinated the SHIT out of this year. Failed physics multiple times but my average was still high because I did well in Bio, English and Com sci. Chemistry was below average.
*discovered nofap*​
(8 months out of 12 in my Grade year had passed by this point.)
Achieved a 100 day nofap streak right before exams.
▪81% in English
▪88% in Biology
▪86% in Chemistry
▪84% in Physics
▪91% in Com Sci
Average of 86%. Graduated in the top 5% of the science group in my country.

That is the power of nofap.

In the last year (the year i discovered this site), i amassed a total of 232 days across multiple streaks.

Just last week, I got an offer from a uni. And i never even applied for it.

That is the power of nofap. Obviously, you need to have a sharp brain as well, but if you do- and you're on nofap- nothing can possibly hold you back.

The important thing is to not dwell on the past too much since there's nothing we can do about it now. Whenever I've been PMO-ing and procrastinating, I let the regret overtake me and would lose all motivation to do anything else, so I speak from experience when I say, don't do that.

All we can do is think about the present and prepare ourselves for the future. You're already on the right track by trying to avoid PMO.
