    The flatline phase was really bothering me, but I'm starting to get the hang of this, you just gotta ride it! You shouldn't let it take over, you gotta keep motivating yourself, you gotta be positive. Honestly I'm reall proud of myself and this person I've became :D Nofap has taught me a lot of things.

    Congrats man! At first the flatline is really hard form some people.In fact, you'll se that this is one of the parts that makes people want to quit or relapse more. If only they knew that that's when you are healing the most.

    You can do it, keep on mate!

    The flatline is an indicator that your brain is rebooting/healing , although these are usually the toughest days throughout the NoFap journey . Here's an example of what might happen during a flatline :

    - no erection
    - no appetite
    - no motivation
    - depression
    - anxiety
    - insomnia
    - no concentration
    - etc...

    These tough days sometimes last longer for others, everybody has a different story/path but you need to be strong and pass through the rain in order for you to succeed... it's all a mindset .

    It's a phase you go through on nofap, which has different effects from person to person, but the common effects are: lack of motivation, low libido (no sex drive), feeling depressed, mood swing and etc., its the part where your brain is healing the most. Hope i helped.

And the answer to your other question related to you preparing for this stage is it's all about the mindset, honestly one of the most helpful things that i've learned through out this journey is keeping a good mindset. I hope I've been helpful. Good luck bro.

    Exactly.
     
  10. I think I know what the flat line really is, we are so used to getting aroused, and getting the high in our heads, that the flatline, is just getting used to not having the good feelings. there is nothing wrong with a flat line, there is something wrong with masturbation all the time. in healthy, can't be good for a person. crazy.

    It's not the low libido that bothers me, my libido is actually quite alright, but the lack of motivation, mood swings and the depression that really got to me.
