Am I in another flatline?

It sounds you are overtrained. Take some days off the gym. Relax.

Then go back at training everything will be fine.

 

Also chill some days on bulking, overeating takes away a lot of energy from you

 

I support the view of the guy above .
I think the same way .

 

More like taking rest several days in a row . Your central nervous system needs a full rest. Failing reps and all you mentioned is overtraining symptoms.

Semen retention as you have mentioned you've done it doesn't cause this.

 

If you don't stop you may even get sick like a cold or something like it. And the food you eat is too much even if it's healthy food.

 

Flatline 100%.
It is the valley on our way to the summit.
Keep going bro.

 

I know it very very well.
It starts around day 12 and it keeps coming on and off.
It is perfectly normal.
The brain was using pleasure to self regulate. You have removed it, so it will take tge brain some time to adjust and lower your enjoyment threshold.

 

Regarding not having the will/motivation, constant brain fog etc.. It usually is flatline since your brain is going through stuff, it's actually a good sign if you ask me. In the other hand it's the stage where alot of people fail and relapse, your mind is tricky - don't let it beat you.

Regarding gym performance, I really don't know what to say about that.

Most important thing is that you don't quit, if you didn't fap you didn't fap. It's all temporary.

 

Might be flatline but why would that worry you?

Flatline is a sign od progress and it makes it easier for you to avoid sex thoughts and other stupid shit.

Might be a flatline, use it to your advantage, if your brain is rewiring and making new neural pathways, maybe you can use that to your advantage?

Just my 2 cents.

 

@Aléxandros broo you got exams week + flatline!!

imagine how freaking good you'll feel when you manage to pass exams while studying with that current handicap.

 

I don't know much about flatlines (I have experienced them a couple of times as far as I know) but I always try to see if there is something else than the addiction that is affecting me. Sometimes brain fog is just ... brain fog (too much tv, an exceptional hot day, bad nutrition, a stressful meeting...) and the same with lack of energy, focus and motivation - sometimes there are worries that come in that moment. For me the important thing (in flatlines or not) is to be aware, or try to be aware: of the lack of motivation, the restlessness, or whatever is going on with me. Then take a deep breath and go on.
Happy to know that yours ended.

 

What is the meaning of flatline.?

 

From the glossary:
https://nofap.com/glossary/

• Flatlining: Many NoFap® users report one or more periods of zero libido during their streak, especially in the 2-6 week period. Transitioning from an overexcited, always-eager libido to none at all can be disconcerting and even scary for the experienced masturbator, but many Fapstronauts report that it is only a phase in the reboot and will pass.

--
Some people have reported a duration of several months with no libido.
The scary part is the idea that you don't have a sex life anymore. It's over. It's like jumping over a cliff and not knowing if the parachute will open, or even if you have a parachute at all! (spoiler alert: we don't need it). You are moving from forcing the stimulation, in a state when you are forcing endless PMO sequences, in which sexual desire does not play a role anymore, to a different state in which sexual desire comes naturally, from real life stimulus. Your body is not used anymore to real life stimulus and therefore it does not respond to them, hence the lack of libido.
