    What i feel
    - Feeling my head buzzing
    - cant move around i feel like walking on a boat
    - no libido
    - lonely
    - feeling Intensively awful, not anhedonia or depression just the taste of intermittent fasting from anything that has to do with dopamine some nasty feeling.
    - insomnia
    - laziness
    - procastinatating

    Is there a way i can keep myself occupied to get through this please?!

    Are you able to describe the "head buzz" feeling? Because I might have something similar, but it's difficult to describe.

    I have the head buzz as well to me it feels like my brain is “thawing out” which I’ve read is pretty common..sounds like it’s just the brain adapting to the lower levels of dopamine (natural level) after all the years of blasting the reward system with unnatural levels of dopamine.

    Its not brain zaps, its more like you can feel neurotransmitters doing odd things inside, it makes me Dizzy but actually not, you zoom out and its a nasty feeling

    Well because its not about which day i am, its about getting my cadaver corpse out of the PMO and heal from the imbalances in my body so i have to drag it

    As you are way more experienced than most of us, I think you should already know this answer, there is no way around a flatline, there is no skipping it, you have to stay with it until it subsides.

    How long were you addicted to PMO anyway? 143 days should cure a lot of guys already.

    I think I know what you mean by the head buzzing. Your brain feels kind of numb and heavy am I right? It happens to ,e amd gives me shortness of breath

    You guys are actually making me feel better about my progress. Been masturbating since I was like 12 or 13 pretty habitually and got hooked on porn in my early 20s. I turn 40 december the 17th.

    I think what may help you is to be outside as much as possible, of course assuming you have time to do it... Fresh air will help you immensely

    I don;t think the heads thing has anything to do with flatline, though I could be wrong. I had sex Monday and orgasmed and have been feeling heavy in my head anyway. Today i have been having pretty easy erections just thinking about sex. Like somebody eldse said, it may be our brains healing and changing.
