    So I'm experiencing the dreaded flatline, where everything feels numb and I feel like staring at a brick wall.

    I know that drinking green tea will elevate my mood a little, but is it a good idea to 'escape' this flatline feeling?

    What do you guys think? Embrace the flatline for faster recovery, or nice and healthy green tea will do no harm? I know green tea is healthy, but it's still an 'escape' from this flatline.

    I actually haven't heard about Green Tea having any positive mood booster benefits but if you're ADHD like me, its hard to get anything from any kind of drink. If it helps, I say go for it!

    Yeah man it's definitely a better mood booster than coffee. I drank coffee for years and nothing, but tea makes me feel pretty good. My problem is that I don't want to escape discomfort cause the flatline might last longer.

    I think there is a difference between escaping the flat line using normal stimuli and escaping the flatline using PMO. Looking back at the rebooting page it talks about the flat line as having a low libido. Are you talking here about having a low emotional state? Because if a low emotional state is the case, and drinking green tea will help you feel better then I would say go have some tea!

    It's that 'numbing' feeling where nothing is enjoyable. Things that normally make you laugh are no longer funny and you don't feel like doing anything. I drank some tea and it snapped me out of it, but I might've just delayed the numb feeling. Oh well, at least its a healthy stimuli :p

    Ahh, I see what you mean. I think in those time what helps me most of all is just to remember that "This too shall pass" OK Go wrote a song about it. Listen to it, that may help! Thank you for sharing! Hopefully this helps! :D

    Ha meet your NoFap resident tea expert

    Tea will pick you up and enough tea can bring about a state of being tea drunk which for me is like a mild hyperactivity.

    All tea is good for you, if you want the closest to the tea plantation then it's

    White
    Yellow
    Green
    Oolong
    Black
    Puerh

    I love good quality black tea, a nice Ceylon or an Assam with a dash of milk and some Biscuits. There's lots of good things in tea as well which will do you good and you are getting your water intake as well.

    Just be wary of the caffeine and if that impacts your sleep, either getting to sleep or the quality of your sleep. Tea later in the day brings erratic dreams which can leave me feeling disturbed the next morning.

    Lots of good things in Redbush and things like chamomile or lavender tea

    Very informative input :p I just drink my green tea with some boiling water usually, but sometimes drink others with milk as well. A lot of people drink green tea before bed to help them sleep, which is unusual considering the caffeine - but it doesn't give me trouble sleeping personally.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I've been drinking green tea for ages with or without porn :) I wouldn't say it has any effect when getting rid of an addiction, but if it takes your mind off porn I'd say it's a great option. After all, green tea is healthy. It can however upset the stomach due to the tannins it contains, especially in the morning and/or if you have not eaten yet.
