    Hello fellow fapstronauts,
    So I've been going through bit of a rough patch lately. I'm on day 20 and I have been feeling really empty the last week or so. Like nothing i do makes me feel good. The only emotion i encounter is a deep sadness. It feels like something is missing from my life. And in fact, something is missing from my life, Pornography, but that is a good thing. Nevertheless, no matter how much i tell myself that my body is going through a heeling process and i should be happy about my future instead of sad, i still can't make the feeling go away. Surely some of you have experienced this and have something to say on the topic. I have been exercising every day, taking cold shower, spending little to no time browsing the internet, and have made sure to keep all forms of pornography at bay. Any suggestions?

    Its called depression brother, it's because of Post Acute Withdrawl Symptoms or PAWS. You have to ride it out for awhile no other easy way to put it bro, stay tough.

    Hello brother,

    what you feel is absolutely and I quote absolutely normal. It is part of the process, day 20 is not day 90 and some people face tremendous difficulties during the reboot (I am one of those) and some don't face any at all.

    You have to educate yourself to understand the issue of this problem so you know that this is normal and it is not because of you, but rather it is because of the addiction that is trying hard to remain a part of your brain while it is slowly fading away.

    I recommend this video to be watched and what you are going through is called flatline

    It's called a flatline my brother and it's something I'm going through as of right now on Day 202 . This is my second flatline yet... My first flatline was around days 30-50 and than this one. So as you can see how long it's been for me, flatlines come and go... depending on the person . Don't quit, Don't give in ! Stay with the program no matter how hard it may seem & you will reap the benefits from it in the future !
