Flatlining... feels bad

    So I think I'm flatlining... 34 days in, no PMO.

    I went into NoFap very skeptically, but I had a decent kickstart after a holiday and was suffering from some mild ED problems, so I figured 'why the hell not?' I don't think I was porn addicted, I hadn't really been looking at porn much recently and wasn't too interested in masturbating. But I have been looking at porn since I was about 13 or 14.

    After 20 days or so I definitely felt the superpower thing. I was confident, energetic, didn't require much sleep.

    I had two wet dreams about 25 and 28 days in. Couple of nights ago (probably around day 30) I wake up from another sexual dream with a huge boner. After that, I begin to feel pretty much nothing about anything, especially women. It took me a while to recognize that it might be flatline, but I've been on antidepressants in the past (which mess with dopamine levels) and it feels very similar. Lump in my throat, brain fog, disinterest and some anxiety (and of course, limp dick).

    It feels pretty shit. Mostly, I worry that there's something wrong with me, that my urges and energy won't come back or that I'm breaking something.

    Since I've realized it's probably flatline, I intend to stick it out... I don't think I mind it too much, except that I have a few dates planned and I don't feel very masculine right now.

    Anyway, success stories or advice is welcome. If you're in a similar boat, feel free to share. Hang in there bro's.

  2. Yeah flatline is hard man, what your going through I’ve been through that. Of course I’ve relapsed when I hit flat line because I too freaked out that I will never function again. After reading a few things, it’s just the stage people go through definitely push through it man, I wish I did. I’ve been doing heaps of research lately on mental health etc do you exercise at all? try adding some omega 3 into your diet if you don’t already for the brain fog. Exercise 3 - 4 time a week and adding omega 3 and eating more protein has proven to help with what you’re going through. Even eat more foods like dark chocolate, water melon etc. look up diets that boost your libido, testosterone and look up brain foods. This is just what I’ve researched, it’s working for me at the moment try it out if you want.

    Is your penis smaller like shriveled with less bloodflow?

    Thanks for the advice man. I exercise intensely three times a week (boxing) and I love it. I also add seeds to my breakfast for my omega 3 intake. I have some 70% chocolate lying around, I'll try to consume it more regularly. I'll also look into proteins, although I think I get mine.

    Are you doing better now? Did you get out of flatline?

    Not less blood flow, although it is a billion degrees outside... it's just kinda hanging there.

    I'm definitely sticking through this. What's the alternative? Looking at porn, playing with my limp dick until I feel the slightest urge again? That sounds pathetic. I wan't my body to be able to indicate when it is horny.

    My penis has less blood flow and is quite small. Does this mean I don't have PIED?

    I read somewhere that decreased use will cause overall decreased electrical stimulation to your urogential area during flatline. If you have dates planned, look up some homemade recipes to increase libido. With my last gf I was struggling with PA and I was crazy nervous I wouldnt be able to perform so I found a recipe online that included a mix of beets watermelon, cayenne pepper, pumpkin seeds, some organic powder, etc. Honestly didnt taste great but was doable and it helped increase bloodflow to maintain stamina without any withdrawl symptoms. This isnt a cureall but for me it gave me the confidence I needed at the time, increased my stamina, girth all alongside detoxing during the process.

    Let me know if this helps and godspeed to you sir.
