    Hey all,

    Oh my god! I think I am flatlining and nofap on reddit is down!!! I've been 2 weeks on hard mode-and the last few days I've been feeling down. Today I'm feeling kind of depressed and uncomfortalble feelings are coming up-negative feelings-feelings most likely I had been medicating with porn. I feel sort of lethargic-like yes, I feel a sense of risk of relapsing for sure-but also like-my god I don't have the energy too-and I really dont think I could handle the feeling of having to reset and accumulate days again. I was reading that flatlines last about 10-15 days. I think I'm cool with it. I will get to some meetings and share about it. But is this flatlining? I'm going to wear this as a badge of honor as much as possible. IM FLATLINING!!!! HELL YEAHH!!!
    One really helpful thing for me has been music-looking for new tunes on Spotify has redirected the entire expereince of looking at porn and finding the right thing. I'm seriously interested in DJing. Im going to take a moment to pray and then get back to work, and get back to the work of rebooting.

  4. Right now you are in the stormy part of the ''journey'' to reach the best fucking days of your life you have to get through this phase for ulitmate sunshine, the best thing you would ever do is go through the flatline.

    I too am flatlining I believe. Its just a completely different feeling from my day 7 on hard mode and now on day 14. I don't know if flatlining is coming to be faster than others, but I feel kind of a drop in confidence, libido, energy, and just utterly different than last week. Are you still flatlining? How long does this last?? From what I read online, once I overcome this stage, I will be able to feel a some more benefits? Anyways, this is one of the farthest I have come and I don't see myself going back to my old ways anytime soon. LETS DO THIS!

    I flatlined a few days, between days 7-14. I embraced it, what wasn't happening down there didn't need attention.
    Now it's stopped and it's getting harder then ever no to PMO.

    Does everyone experience this "Flatlining" issue? I'm pretty new to this and haven't heard much about it? But seen a few people mention it? Can someone describe what exactly it is and what's going on with it?
     
  9. I been through this stage. Just keep on telling yourself that you can do it. Refer to YouTube videos that give you motivation. After this stage, you'll feel a lot better. Just power through it with all of your might. I wish you good luck.
     
  10. Flatlinning is when you experience all of the negative side effects of NoFap - depression, anxiety, sadness, loneliness and so on. Not everybody experiences the same effects, but they all make you want to relapse. That's why it's the darkest stage of NoFap - lots of people relapse during this period.

    Oh wow! Yeah I can see how that could possibly trigger a relapse. About how long does it take to start experiences this? I'm only on day 7 right now.
     
  12. Well, people can experience it depending on how severe their addiction/habit is. Generally, most people experience them between 2 weeks and 9 months - the amount of time it takes to fully recover, but that doesn't mean that they can't occur earlier or later. They generally last for about a week to 2 weeks, but that doesn't mean that they can't last for shorter or longer. Just keep this in mind if you ever experience a flatline. I took a little look at your journal and it sounds like you're doing good. I believe in you to power through when you experience it. I wish you luck.
