2 year flatlines are a lie. It's not purely from PMO.

I'm a 22 year old guy suffering from severe PIED since I was 18. I started PMOing heavily from 11 years old up to 18 years old when I got into my first relationship then I stopped PMO for about a month or 2, and I initially could not get it up when trying to have sex but after several weeks of rewiring, I was eventually able to get it up after a lot of foreplay. However I broke up with her shortly after and ever since then it's been relapse after relapse up until 2020 when I decided to reduce porn drastically up to the point of cutting it off in May however carrying on with MO as usual. On the 4th of August 2020, I decided I want to take PMO seriously and have abstained from porn, masturbation and orgasm ever since. In these last 8 days it has been constant episodes of hopelessness and anxiety, and fear of the future. I honestly feel sad for no reason at times but subconsciously it's because I know I am suffering from severe PIED. It's like a disability in a way. I have faith in Allah that He will cure me if I prove I have changed and leave this filthy way of living forever. However reading stories online of people going through 2-3 year flatlines is making me gobsmacked. How can it be possible that you are in a flatline for 2 years? How do you even cope for 2 years being in a flatline and with PAWS?

Surely these people that report on 2-3 year flatlines must have other underlying issues that they are not revealing which is not related to PMO recovery? Would you say this idea of a 2-3 year flatline is a load of nonsense? And do people with sexual partners recover at a faster rate generally?
