Hi treborn. I think this is probably written somewhere in an official sense but I couldn't find it. Does anyone else have the link? Or maybe its a page reference in the "Getting Started" guide.

I didn't get the Getting Started guide yet myself due to some confusion with how the emails worked.

I'll see if I can try again to get that guide and find a page reference. It probably wouldn't hurt me to read that guide by now but I thought I was already pretty familiar with the info but I guess I'm kinda drawing a blank on exactly how to explain it!

Flatline usually means dead dick with no horniness. Withdrawal you tend to feel more with urges plusphysical symptoms like headaches etc. The first few weeks you feel like your body is purging something bad.

Here is an excerpt from pg 25-26 of getting started guide:

Getting Started Guide pg 25-26 said:

Flatline Many Rebooters report temporary periods of little to zero libido with little to zero interest in sex during their reboots. Rebooters have reported that it is sometimes accompanied with low energy, lethargy, tiredness, and other symptoms. In fact, for some people, the flatline might feel remarkably similar to depression. For a heavy porn user, who is used to an overexcited libido that constantly bombards them with urges to act out sexually, this flatline may be confusing, or even concerning. Some Rebooters over-react when they hit the flatline, and end up masturbating to porn just to make sure they haven’t completely ceased to function sexually. The best advice is: Don’t panic! The flatline is a normal part of the rebooting process. It may last several weeks, and may come back during your reboot, but it eventually goes away. If it does not, contact a healthcare professional. Also, if you ever feel the desire to self-harm or if you feel “down” for an extended period of time, that is not a normal part of the Rebooting process, and we suggest immediately contacting a mental health care professional. See the disclaimer in the beginning of Getting Started for additional resources. In mild cases, the flatline can be a time to relax a bit (but not too much!). Some Rebooters find the lack of sexual urges peaceful. If somebody has been constantly bombarded by sexual desire and imagery for significant parts of their lives, the flatline can actually be considered a bit of mental relief for them. Emotional Rollercoastering NoFap users just starting a reboot are often eager to experience all the benefits reported by thousands of other Rebooters. These positive changes often come with time, if you stick with your rebooting goals. Rebooting, however, is not a magical pill. You will not suddenly wake up on the morning of your seventh day and discover your brain fog gone, your social confidence through the roof, and potential partners attracted to you like moths to a light bulb. Neither is rebooting a linear process. Overall, the net change usually curves towards more positive changes, but within that curve, there are usually emotional ups and downs. You might feel amazing for a month; then a bad day full of urges and frustration will smack you down out of nowhere. Or you might have a week of feeling apathetic, and wake up the next day feeling upbeat. Just keeping pushing forward, and take each day step by step. Your friends, family, and coworkers might notice your emotional shifts before you do, complimenting you on your positive attitude or commenting on your moodiness. Whether this feedback is positive or negative, take it as a sign that your reboot is underway. For a heavy porn user, who is used to an overexcited libido that constantly bombards them with urges to act out sexually, this flatline may be confusing, or even concerning. 26 www.NoFap.com/getting-started Getting Started with NoFap® Copyright © 2016 NoFap LLC. All Rights Reserved. NoFap® is a registered trademark owned by NoFap LLC. Since many Rebooters have for years been using pornography to regulate difficult emotions , they will now have to discover new and healthier ways to deal with their unprocessed - and perhaps even repressed - emotions. However, this isn’t the proper medium to give people individualized mental health advice. If you feel that your emotional state has changed significantly enough to have a negative impact on your life, or that you’ve experienced a period of negative emotions or apathy for more than a couple of weeks, we urge you to speak a mental health professional.

When I pressed control F on withdrawal, I only found the word in one or two places.

Here's a quote from an online article about sex addiction withdrawal symptoms:

Just as everyone’s sex addiction is different, so is everyone’s experience with withdrawal. You may become depressed or have sudden bouts of anxiety. You may experience mental and physical exhaustion, have sharp mood swings, or find yourself thinking irrationally; you may have unexplainable physical pains. You may feel ill, cranky, irritable, want to sleep more or not be able to sleep.
