    Hey guys! Hope you guys are great!
    So, I'm on day 24 of no PMO and I think I just reached the flatline cause I sort of feel numb and a little bit depressed. I don't feel motivated to work out and anything that happens pisses me off.
    I just want to lay in bed all day long doing nothing. I feel bored as well.
    About the benefits, i don't think i feel them yet.
    What do you think? Is that flatline?

    Sounds like a flatline.. But may be couple of more days, before we conclude. For me.. even before hitting the flatline I had felt depressed and a few days(3-4) afterwards it went away(felt happier) to come back again.. I believe flatline is a period that may be a little more consistent feeling than the temporary ups and downs... So, let's wait n watch..

    To clarify, you don't have to be depressed to reach a flatline. I feel like so many people on this site are so eager to have practice, that they self induce a "flatline." My recommendation to you is quit aggressively counting the days. Set your timer and put it in the back of your head, revisiting it occasionally. Then continue to live your life. You shouldn't be worrying about if your penis works, if you are on a flatline, if you are still able to get turned on, what is going to happen, etc. Just live and enjoy life. Keep to your goals, if you said you are working out 3 times a week, keep that up.

    Benefits are happening, you may not notice them but the one benefit that you can see right now is that you are not wasting hours a week watching porn and self loving yourself. Everything else will come, but it takes time. The less you focus on what is happening and the more you focus on yourself, the better you will be.
