So, I started to edge tonight, but this thing wouldn't go up no matter what I thought about, so I just gave up. Im over 2 months in and is this what they call Flatline or something else? Any help would be appreciated. I have very low lobido right now. Feels like I want to crawl up into corner and just go to sleep for 40 years. Any insight is appreciated.

Hi @Crackers1

First, I’d encourage you to continue to seek help from a psychiatrist/therapist. You’ve mentioned struggling with anxiety and depression and being manic, and it would be wise to seek out a professional who can help you address those and they could help you figure out if there are other underlying causes to your problems other than porn.

Second, it could be the flatline that many rebooters report, including myself, yes. If you haven’t watched it already, I made this video with my thoughts and advice on the flatline. You may find something in it useful:



Lastly, I want you to know I’m rooting for you, and I’m proud of the effort you’ve been putting in to be healthier. My advice is to keep doing as many healthy things as possible that will help combat anxiety. The essentials: eat healthy, exercise, meditate, talk with loved ones, do something kind for someone, prioritize sleep etc. And again, talk to a mental health professional who can help you. There is hope, you’re not alone. Keep truckin’ and much love.

Gabe thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately that is my main problem is that I can't find anybody to understand what I'm going through as they look at me as though they are dear in headlights. I've called 80 therapist and psychiatrist and none of them have room. This is my only outlet, and I feel like I get very little to no insight. It's very sad and I hope You don't take offense. I know there are people out there that are handling it a lot better than I am

Hey man, if you look at my journal bro, you can see I have gone through a lot. My withdrawal physical faze went away. I struggle with little libido but I still can have sex. Knock on wood each time my gf is ready I can perform or out perform her. I don’t do kegels or take vitamins. I don’t believe I lack in vitamins or testosterone. I have just been riding it out. I was too very hopeless because of the depression from the withdrawals but I can say it has gotten better. Good luck man and we’re all going through this so don’t feel alone.

Hey Scorpio, did you start out with PIED?

Yes, I developed PIED while I was trying to have sex with my gf this year in March.
Damn! I feel for ya, the first time I tried to have sex after the pandemic. Been trying to complete the reboot but always relapsed after 2 weeks.
But now, something feels different, I have made to changes to my life, and identified the triggers that always lead to a relapse.
Hopefully next week will be the first time I am achieving 3 weeks without fapping.

Keep going man, and keep reminding yourself why PMO is not worth it. It’s a challenge to all of us because of the easy access but your not going through this alone. You’ll get better with time. Keep going bro.
