Life is sh@t right now

I think you need to calm down man. Maybe talk to your girlfriend, and try making her understand your situation.

I know how it feels to flatline. But thats when you have to be strong.

When you exercise and after a certain number of repetitions you feel fatigued, that's your limits being crossed, and new limits being created. Think of it as that way for nofap. Flatlining is like that fatigue. You can give up now, and go back to your old shitty ways, or you can hold on, and reach new heights.

Its up to you man,

Good Luck

PS: About your GF, maybe you should just talk to her and tell her about your problems. Let her know the truth. Who knows, she might even support you...

 

What do you mean by burning face?

I am experiencing withdrawals for 10 months now which include a feeling of burning skin in my whole body, inability to focus, dizziness, fatigue, no sexual desire. And i'm still not sure this is flatline. Would you describe what else you experience. Been checked by several doctors and everything came back normal.

 

Withdrawals can last a long time and appear differently for everyone, like I hear a lot of people get sick or have up to 10 to 30 different effects. A lot of it can come from anxiety after quiting, but mostly it's just the brain working out the low dopamine it's getting.

If your tests came back fine and the feelings started after stopping PMO then it's withdrawals. I'm not even a month in and I already hit severe flatline over a week ago.

 

Right. Same here. Feels like my body is burning, while body temperature is normal.

It's like I have every single withdrawal symptom I have ever read about. I had severe depression with suicidal thoughts, extreme anxiety, palpitations. These have decreased a lot.

I still have blurry vision/inability to focus eyes, headaches, pressure in head, burning skin/feverish feeling, different nerve pains e.g. in my gums and teeth, no memory and focus, fatigue, dizziness/lightheadedness, muscle tension in neck/back/head, insomnia, difficultiy swallowing, feeling like my ears are full with fluid and they pop when I swallow, palpitations, no desire to socialize or pursue girls. I tried to have sex and it works but it's like I don't care about it whatsoever.

It is hell on earth. This combination of symptoms and the long duration (11 months now!) occurs mostly with people who withdraw from benzos. And I have no history with depression or anxiety or any other mental illnesses.

 

How long have you been PMO'ing and how many times a day was it? Everyone is different but usually it comes down to length and severity, as your brain was used to it for so many years it gets mad when you stop.

 

I am 28 now. PMOed for 7 years severly. Almost every day ,multiple times. But I had periods of abstinence (sometimes 2-3 months) too. In the past I experienced withdrawals, but back then they were mild and lasted about 2-3 weeks. This time I didn't even want to stop PMO. At some point I started feeling indifferent towards porn and shortly after that all the symptoms kicked in. I think I fucked up my brain big time. Sex is not even the most important thing right now.

 

Sex isn't on my mind either, hell even porn as well, besides the frustrating urges to O I have a slew of withdrawls and they're not pretty. I've been doing PMO since I was like 9 or 10, so that many years is probably going to take a long time for recovery.

Hopefully you feel better soon, these symptoms are a fucking nightmare.
