    How do you guys know if your in a flatline or not? I personally can’t tell if it’s withdrawls or flatline as I’ve been anxious, self conscious, low confidence, depression like feelings earlier, irritability but just about a week ago I wasn’t really feeling like this. I still have a libido too
     
  2. Ive also noticed that while my stress, self-consciousness etc. don't go up, there is a notable dip in energy.

    I usually allow for an hour nap a day at this point. it's been helping so far.
    I wanna believe it's part of the transition/healing but who knows.

    • Depression
    • Anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure)
    • Irritability
    • Persistent negative thoughts
    • Low self-esteem
    • Insomnia
    • No libido and no attraction to women
    • Feelings of hopelessness and despair
    There are a lot of other symptoms associated with flatlining, but the ones I listed above were the most prominent symptoms for me. Some flatlines are really long and difficult to fight through, but it's worth it when you start seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I came out of a four-month-long flatline in July; it was such an incredible feeling to feel a big chunk of my depression start to melt away. Feeling your brain begin to heal makes the hardship of abstinence seem worth it.

    COVID19 makes this so much harder, too. IMO of course.
