    At the moment I am generally listless and feel totally knocked out even though I don't do a lot. Can that be a flatline?
     
  2. It's possible. It's also possible that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. Hard to really say what you're going through without knowing more details/context. Are you getting enough sleep? Did something hurtful happen recently? Are you worried at moment or what will happen?

    It's ok to not do stuff and always be productive. It's also ok to give yourself a break in order to recharge. That doesn't mean watch TV or play video games. It's important to do things that will recharge you. Find ways to spend your time that isn't a distraction. I find getting good quality sleep is super important and one of my keystone habits. Then meditating, staying active by walking or a light job, writing my feelings/thoughts in a journal, practicing positive self affirmations, and gratitude.

    It's such a thing with a job like this, I'm studying computer science, I have to think a lot, and how you feel that much more than all the time.
    I still enjoy it, but I have a headache and a heaviness in my head very quickly
     
  4. I studied computer science too and currently have a job in IT. A job in computer science is very demanding, stressful, time consuming, etc. Sounds like what you're feeling is a reaction to the stress? I'm not an expert so you should definitely speak to one before you do anything. If you can find some time for yourself and destress in a healthy way, you might notice less headaches or heaviness.
     
  5. I just spent the last two or three days with those exact symptoms. It didn't feel like anything I've really experienced before. For myself, I'm chalking it up to flatline.

    I don't like to say it at all, but I fapped, the first trigger was a normal situation on TV. Combined with the guilt of the process, I was too weak. This really annoys me now because I apparently did not complete the healing process

    - No libido, genital numbness and shrinkage, penis feels disconnected from body, colour of penis may change colour due to lack of blood flow = Flatline
