    Do you have experience with flatlining?
    How do you define it?
    Symptoms?
    Longevity?
    Start and end days?
    Cure?

    My definition would be similar to boredom coupled with a restrained restlessness, like wearing a straight jacket in the evenings. It feels like something is missing from my life and I don't know what to do other than grope around for it ineffectively. It usually starts for me at 3 weeks. Not sure when it ends. Solutions? I only fight it off by keeping busy in as many ways as possible I guess, particularly around friends.

  2. Been flatlining on and off for over 5 years. Only because I have relapsed on and off over them years. But currently at the moment I've been on a flatline since to start of my counter. Flatline can take months depending how much you abused porn etc. I wouldn't worry though, you'll come out a stronger person through recovery.

    Flatline is just a synonym for Post acute withdrawal.
