" FLATLINE " for 20 months and counting : - (

Hello guys,

Doing Nofap Hardmode ( No Pmo ) for 23 months now. The " FLATLINE " began in the third month of Nofap and never left.

Symptoms are : No libido, genital numbness and shrinkage, the colour of penis skin also changed color due to lack of blood flow. I also have emotional numbness and brain fog.

Are long " FLATLINES " common ? This is scary and i´m losing hope...

 

Thank you for the support. The unknown is always scary, especially when i don't see signs of recovery in 20 months ( no libido ).
But i won't give up !

Once the flatline begins we see that we can only go forward now. I just wished more successful rebooters with long flatlines would share their stories of recovery.
Do share the flatline experience if you had one...

Cheers.

 

Thank you for your answer. It´s the flatline, i´m sure. My flatline began only because of NOFAP in the third month. First symptom was genital numbness and shrinkage with no libido ( first time in my life ). Then came the emotional numbness and brain fog. 20 months with this symptoms.

Cheers.

 

I have other PAWS ( post acute withdrawal syndrome ) symptoms, yes. Such as :

- Brain fog
- Emotional numbness
- Irritability
- Low motivation
- Low energy
- A little anxiety

My sleeping patterns are better now.

 

Yes, it´s not easy to have such a long flatline, my life is on standby. No libido, no motivation, no frame. About the insomnia... i don´t remember, perhaps 6 months to get better.

 

I tried brain supplements but changed nothing, or i didn´t feel any change.

In my reboot i have no intimacy with a partner. I had opportunities with possible partners but i don´t see the point, i feel disconnected from myself ( no emotions ), no libido ( no desire for ... ) and my penis feels disconnected from my body... it feels like rubber ( genital numbness ). Quite scary !
" Using " a partner would be like eating non stop in order to lose weight. Besides, i want to do a full reboot in hardmode, i want to feel my sex drive back with no exterior intervention.

 

With the Flatline, no. In a constant Flatline for 20 months, now.

No depression in my case, but i have emotional numbness, i'm detached from day to day experiences. Living the same day, everyday. Apathy.

But i can say, without a doubt, that my life is changing for the better with NOFAP ( no placebo here ). Benefits so far :
- Bright eyes
- Skin glow
- More women interested in me ( this one is also frustrating because of the Flatline ! )
- Less anxiety ( most anxiety i have is because of the Flatline )
- Deeper voice

 

Everyone is different. My case is a bad one. I began PMO when very young, before beginning my sexual life. It may take less time for you.
