[POLL] In hard mode, when did you hit your flatline?

I'm in the flatline, still descending right now.

I was about to say there isn't a way to speed up getting there. To refine a little bit - there's not a shortcut. But the fastest way to get to the flatline is to stay dedicated to the no PMO path. Every time you fantasize, get close to a relapse, do anything that excites you, you feed the rush and don't encourage the brain to start changing. Subjectively, if you want to feel like you're getting there faster, start working heavily on your healthy replacement activities. Learn to play an instrument, go volunteer, lift weights, something. The more you focus on that, the less you'll notice.

What's helping me through it is the knowledge that this is a phase. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for many years. Not knowing why I felt a certain way was very painful. In this case though, I know exactly why I am depressed. I know this is a phase, and I know what reward is waiting for me on the other side. That's enough for me.

Don't rush all of this. Whatever happens will happen. Appreciate the trials you are going through each individual day. You'll get there.
