This is how my flatline ended back im 2016, please read (motivation

Firstly I just want to say that I'm battling a brutal flatline for over 2 and a half months and probably more. This is accompanied with severe depression and no motivation + other symptoms.''

This forum post was listed as motivational. So flat lines last 2 & a half months & it caused severe depression?

Sorry, but I don't find that motivational. I already have a depressive personality and I hope Hard mode is not going to lead to severe depression

 

I have the flatline just now, no idea how long it's been going on for but I don't think I've had an erection for months, been in bed with a nice girl twice now and had absolutely no desire whatsoever.

I've been a bit down but I think that's a lot to do with stress and my personal life but the flatline is really demoralising, makes you feel like you aren't even a man when you actually get into bed. Hope it ends soon it's possibly the most frustrating thing I've encountered especially considering I know this girl is really hot, but I can't do a bloody thing about it and she'll end up just moving on if I can't seal the deal here.

Nice job on getting through it, how many days no PMO are you?

 

Im new to the nf family so im a bit lost on the lingo. Whats a flatline

 

I’m still in the flatline bro and have been for years on nofap. I have glimpses what life will be like after I’ve come out of it. On this current run I’ve been in a flatline since day 1. Fuck porn this shit robs your soul.

 

I'm enjoying my flatline. Helps me clear my mind. Thanks for the advice though, I'll be on the lookout.

It's explained best in the NoFap Starter Guide. I recommend you read it. Basically it's a period of time during which you won't have urges, no erotic dreams (at least that's my experience), you won't have any sexual feelings and your dick is going to be as limp as a noodle. You'll pretty much feel asexual.

 

I am not sure if it possible, but I feel like flatline is happening to me in stages, few days i feel very bad, then i get a day or two of energy and happiness. The cycle repeated a few times already. My current streak is not my first, i had even 90 days before that. I have no idea what to think about it.

 

It's more about dopamine I believe. You don't get much pleasure from anything, most likely because your brain was wired to have PMO be it's primary source and now it's deprived of it and doesn't know where to get it from. Eventually the brain rewires itself to derive pleasure from the basic things in life it was always supposed to.

 

Awesome expo. I appreciate it

 

Wait, how long have you been in a flatline for??

 

I have been attempting nofap since 2012 and have been in a flatline ever since on and off with porn something clicked this time round and I am confident I won’t watch it ever again it has destroyed my life in many ways.

 

Oh wow, so you've had 'dead dick' since then?! On and off as it sometimes has gone away and come back? May I ask, what made it come back since 2012? Did you relapse?

 

No on and off nofap fsince 2012 with hardly any progress as I have been relapsing. What I have learnt is you can never go back to pmo again if you want to recover and have brain related addiction changes.

 

So you've had 'dead dick' ever since? Wow.

 

Basically yea. I’ve learnt to live with it really, quite sad.

 

May I ask how you got into flatline? Did you fap and then the flatline started or did you start abstaining and you fell into a flatline/dead dick?

 

I can’t really remember to be honest I just wore myself out fapping I believe then all these debilitating symptoms came along.
