Flat line funk

Heya,

Approaching my 1 month mark. The first couple of weeks were so much harder than I was expecting but I am persistent and have faith and hope in the process. Surrounded myself with people, have a great AP etc.. It has definitely for the most part been getting easier and easier. Sometimes I don't even think about it anymore during periods that would definitely have previously been triggers.

I experienced the surge, woohoo!! That was fantastic... but then there was a period of time I didn't experience old mate up and about... it was just down all the time. I thought that was a flat line.

For about the last three days though its been something else entirely. I really am struggling to get motivated about anything - something that is very out of character for me... I'm one of the most motivated people I know. Luckily I have established, much to my normal dismay, a positive routine so just been sticking with that, though I really don't want to. I don't want to get out of bed, don't want to socialise, don't want to eat, don't want to do anything really... Is this a flat line? If so what was that other thing? And if so how long is this going to last. Easily into about the third day now and I just can't shake it..?

Anyone else go through this or is this different?

 

yup, great post!! Dug the Dune references... used to love that ... Well that settles it... that is what's going on. Sux! Some of the guys in there were saying a flatline can last for a v long time!! Ouch... Hope it gets better than this. Feels like it came on slowly but then got much much worse pretty quickly. We shall see! Least I know how I am feeling is part of a flatline and that others have gone before me... its expected.

Am hoping mine is more in the vicinity of the week or two flatlines some people were talking about... still I'll take the serenity in the mean time of having no desire to fap, to see the positive side of it and enjoy it whilst I can. Greener pastures on the other side

 

Yeah, excercise has been in the routine, though I really don't feel like it at all at the moment.

Yup, that what I have decided to do. Let it work its magic... Still looking forward to feeling more like me again, the lack of motivation is a really hard one to deal with and is very much out of character. But at least going to bed at night is much easier now - used to be the daily routine, used to think it helped me sleep! Now, I can lie down in bed and he doesn't even say hi, so if I am to look for the good in this, that certainly makes this process easier!
