    I'm at day 86 of PM-Mode (No Porn / No Masturbation) with 2 minor relapses.

    This is what puzzles me and it's also upsetting: I have periods of flatlines (few days) followed by periods when things are great (few days); and these periods come and go unpredictably with no rhyme or reason and no way for me to figure out how causes them or triggers them, or what makes them end. It's all very random.

    Besides that maybe I should try hard mode (also abstaining from Sex), does anyone have any experience with something like this? Any idea on how to extend the good periods and minimize the flatline period?
     
  2. I have the same thing. random flatlines. There is nothing wrong and I feel depressed. then I get out of this flatline and want to do a lot of things and BAM! flatline again.
    It goes on and on. But we have to realize that it will take a lot of patience. By all means, we were addicted..

    Thank you for your comment and testimonial.
    Randomness is exactly what I am experiencing. A few days of flatline 4-5 day, then 4-5 day of great performance; but no rhyme or reason, just random.

    On a related note, this might help you or someone else searching for "Weight Lifting and Erectile Dysfunction" I lift, and I lift heavy enough I guess and someone pointed m to some studies linking Weight Lifting to Erectile Dysfunction, this is one article that I found http://ic.steadyhealth.com/erectile-dysfunction-from-weight-lifting and there are more just bu googling.
    And here I thought that lifting and being in shape was helping. FML!

    It's been 10 days I've been on nofap. So far so good but for the past days I've been kinda... Numb; emotionally and physically. Is that what 'flatline' feels like?

    I'm sure everyone has a different experience of a flatline, for me I feel like "dead", dead down there, and dead inside, not even like a zombie, just..... dead.
    I do function but I feel numb physically and mentally too. Except for the gym, I get my ass to the gym regularly, and I lift heavy shit, I keep making progress too; and I eat right.

    And now I find out that maybe it's the gym that gave me ED: http://ic.steadyhealth.com/erectile-dysfunction-from-weight-lifting

    FML.

    Keep the good work, I don't know it Porn/PMO was the main cause of my ED, I am sure it didn't help, I am continuing my life Porn/PMO free regardless.

    This is a good community, start a journal because it helps, and read as much as you can about NoFap in this site and in the Your Brain on Porn site too.
