EXTREME flatline over? Things are happening (…at last)

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 17, 2019.

  1. 2 months P free.
    16 days M free.

    There were some tough days where I felt like I was on the verge of a derealisation episode but I kept going.

    • For the past few days I've seen the welcome return of morning wood – some better than others
    • For the past 2 days I've had a libido for the first time in YEARS (I think me taking boron and vitamin D have helped with this. I had VERY high SHBG levels (which limits the amount of testosterone you have access to) which affects libido and erections hugely. Get your T checked if you think something may be wrong beyond PIED)
    • My OCD has calmed down a little; it's been bearable! The past few weeks were awful.
    • I have had lots of compliments lately, look young, good looking etc :0)
    • Confident of having (good) sex again.


    It's getting hard (no pun intended) not that my libido is back. I want to watch porn so bad... (but I won't).

    I'm really shocked at how soon I'm seeing results. As last week, there was none. I've had libido/weak wood for so long I truly thought there was little hope!


    I hope this is only the beginning!

    Congrats, man. Keep going :emoji_muscle:
    There is one thing I'd like to bring your attention to tho; your flatline wasn't that EXTREME; what I would consider extreme is a flatline accompanied with PAWS.

    Well done, good to see you come out the other side of this flatline. I went through one for around 10 days and it was horrible. I was really depressed for that time and couldn't get any fun out of anything. I was also basically dead from the waist down. Funny thing is it actually motivated me more to keep going because I don't ever want to go through all of this again. So I'd rather go through this process once (albeit with multiple flatlines) than relapse and go back to the start.
     
  4. Sorry, I should have been more clear. I've pretty much been in a flatline for years... felt dead from the waist down. ever since my last attempt at this which was very short lived.

    Thanks for the support. Still, I'll say again, just having a shred of libido is just... lol there are no words.

    Is morning wood a good indicator of your ED fading? I'm a month in and it's starting to return

    You said years of flatline so have you been on hard mode the whole time. Is it just that you are now able to go hard mode for two months. I understand you still did MO so is that helping with the libido.

    I am also taking Vitamin D because mine is still deficient but getting back up there. What is yOUR SHGB levels exactly. I have heard of Boron as well but not sure how that would help with libido..

    You still going through flatline right now or Is it coming and going very slowly for you..??
     
  8. Boron is good for lowering your SHBG levels. High SHBG traps your testosterone – it's not free. a high free testosterone reading usually goes hand in hand with strong libido and erections. I have seen an improvement in just 3 days having taken the supplements.
     
  9. Libido and morning wood are good! (Still can't get over that.) I am experiencing pretty awful social anxiety and moodiness today – I could be having one of those days though. I want to be careful about not putting every bad moment of my week down to flatline – as there's no way of knowing for a few weeks yet if they are related. I hope this is down to the healing.

    I have morning wood almost every other day just that libido isn’t there yet for spontaneous erections. I am thinking it is just anxiety induced at this point..
     
  11. Could be. How many days are you on?
