    Just started PMO reboot, on day 2 and I'm terrified. I've been going through the forums and reading about PAW's and the flatlines and I'm so scared. Scared because I've gone through something similar early in the year when I first developed my depersonalization and I really don't want to go through that. Does anyone have any advice for what I can do to prepare for this?

    Hey man,

    Would like to help, I've been on this trip for awhile now. I don't really know what, depersonalization means here could you define it? I've been through my share of highly uncomfortable experiences with this process, so I may be able to relate and give some tips.

    I did go through flatlining early on and theres not anything to be worried about with that. Its probably the least painful thing in this process. You just don't get hard for awhile.

    Hey, thanks so much for the concern.
    Depersonalization is basically when I just don't feel like I'm present, I feel like I'm constantly in a dream or somewhere distant, I could be engaging with people but be a million miles away. I also start to doubt my environment and everything starts to look very unreal and foggy. I really started doubting reality from it and it gave me mad anxiety. I'm luckily better now, things are slowly getting a lot clearer and I feel more present but I'm just scared that I will relapse into that state and that scares me a lot more than anything.

    IF that happens, it will be temporary. ÍF it happens
    You survived it once, you will survive it a second time

    Here’s how to beat the flatline

    Workout-mix in weights, High intensity cardio, and hot yoga

    Eat right-meat,veg, fruits, lower carbs/sugar

    Sleep 7-8 hours a night. Take the supplement ZMA.

    Take cold showers every day.

    But most importantly you have a championship mindset to quit PMO more than anything! There are a lot of weak minded people out there. Do you have what it takes to be the man?

    Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

    Do you want that promotion at work? Get the girl of your dreams? Do you want to look and feel like you never have before? It’s up to you take that step and be the person you are meant to be. YOU determine your own destiny. Nobody can stop you if you put your damn mind to it. Treat your mind and body with respect and you will get what you want,

    Yeah that sounds intense. I think Tywnn Lannister is correct, just remember that you've been through it before and that each time it passed. If you need to go to a dark, quiet space when it happens, excuse yourself and go.

    The closest thing I can relate to that would be having panic attacks. I used to get them really bad. Its scary when you don't know whats happening because you think you're going to die in a matter of minutes. But like a lot of this stuff, its all in your mind and remembering that goes a long way.
