    Captain Rex reporting. It's been 9 months since I started NoFap but I'm still in a damn flatline. Why is this??

    I'm already doing healthy activities like exercise, meditation, etc. I'm already socializing everyday (not just family, but I am decently confident). I'm already eating somewhat healthy. My sleep is work in progress, but what gives?

    I've been in a flatline for over 8 months already and I'm still stuck. I already have a healthy mindset and I don't dwell in the past like I used to but I don't know what to do? Thankfully I'm starting to get urges now so that's good, right? I still need some help however, any help would be appreciated. Captain Rex, out.

    Looks like you are writing on behalf of me. I did 370 days and 300 days i was in a flatline. Fell into this habit again and now also i am in a flatline but high and lows are very well balancing now.

    Depression, low energy, no well being overall etc.

    OT: I know how it feels mate, I just think it is a matter of time. Try to eat some healthy fats and see if you are feeling better

    Hi Captain Rex. Heres what I believe about one thing. Well you said you don't think about the past any more. Maybe thats why you are depressed. If you try to block out the past then it becomes stuffed, stagnant feelings. When I get my feelings up and out it always unlocks new energy. But when I keep it all bottled up I feel stuck and stale.

    Thats just one thing that comes to mind.

    Also you said "sleep... still working on that." Whats your sleep situation? That might be another culprit that its time to address. Sleep is super important. If you're only sleeping 5-6 hours you are missing out on the prime time REM sleep. REM sleep is when we dream. Thats when our brains form new memories and process things on a deeper level. Dreaming is not at all a waste of time. Dreams are when the other 80% of our brain gets to help the 10-20% of our brain (conscous mind) that we only ever use. So if you're sleep deprived and especially dream deprived that could be another big reason for feeling stuck or stagnant.

    Even if none of my suggestions work. Don't fap or do PMO no matter what! (Look at my day count I don't use that advice often enough LOL) But the idea is that its just withdrawal symptoms and if you hold out it will eventually pass.

    Being in a relapse is worse than being in a flat line.

    (Now I need to boomerang that advice to myself so it comes to me when I'm in a flat line LOL)

    From my eperience I fell like crap during the first two days. Then I feel relativity good for a few days, followed by feeling like crap again. Its during this time that in a battle with my mind and so far I always lost, but thats changing. All I can say is for everyone to fight the urges dont let it defeat you.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate it. My flatline's now fading away and I don't feel so depressed or anxious anymore. I'm actually pretty confident now (not just around my family), and I'm starting to have better focus and more motivation in general. Although I'm not getting insomnia anymore, I'm starting to have sex urges now which keep me up at night. Might have to make another post for this hehe.
