Questions about the flatline

[Anoniem5]

I am so sorry for posting so much on this, but I am just really afraid and need some hope.
I am on day 82 and basically since day 5 I am in a big flatline. I have some question here and would really appreciate I you would answer them. I also included my own answers, so I can compare.

How long did it take you to get out the flatline?
So personally, my libido was dead untill day 70. From day 70 to day 75 my libido suddenly came back, but dissapeared after that.
Did you experience a dead dick?
This is my biggest concern. From day 70 to 75 I would wake up with morning wood, random erection etc but on all the other days my dick is just dead. It really scares me to be honest.
Did you still get turned on once in a while during the flatline?
I personally don't really, also don't have urges for PMO
How many flatline have you had so far?
I guess 2
When do you think you should be worried?
I would like to ask this question as I am really concerned. I know my dick still works and my ED is psychological, and I also know that whenever my libido is high, my dick comes back to life.

I hope you will take 2 minutes to answer this, it would really help me out cuz I am really scared of the future.

How long did it take you to get out the flatline?
I think im still in a flatline.  I do get MW daily and night time erections but mostly during day i am in a flatline.  I think once at around day 30 or 31 my libido felt like it was coming back and i did have a random erection but since then im still in flatline
Did you experience a dead dick?
Yes but only during the day. again MW daily which im assuming that my ED is psychological (PIED)

Did you still get turned on once in a while during the flatline?
Sometimes if there is a trigger, like watching a s scene in a movie.
How many flatline have you had so far?
1-2 not sure if that return of libido on day 30 or 31 counts as out of flatline
When do you think you should be worried?
Probably after my reboot goal of 90 days but i know Gabe's flatline was a lot longer.

The biggest issue I see here, is the fact you're counting TO THE DAY everything that's occurring.  You'll drive yourself crazy man!  The more your think about this addiction the harder it will be.  You want to get to the point where this "addiction" is forgotten about.  If all you're doing is thinking about it then it'll make it that much harder.

Flatlines scared me at first, and I constantly "tested" my dick to see when it would start working again.  THIS IS BAD!! DONT DO THIS!  DOn't test your dick during flatline.  This is part of the process and the fact you're feeling the flatline means you're making great progress.  Keep your hands off your dick and you will eventually come out of the flatline.  i really believe not MOing during your reboot helps you reboot FASTER.  Don't ever be worried about flatlining, it doesn't last forever. 

I ended up looking forward to my flatlines, because the goal was to stop PMOing and stop all forms of orgasming (I went hardmode).  This was EASIEST during the flatline.  It was extremely hard when I was getting boners all the time. 

Flatlines are GOOD.  They mean the process is working and that you're that much closer to your goals!  Don't let them freak yu out and cause you to test your dick, or even worse look at porn to see if you can get an erection.  Don't do this stuff!  Just go about your life and forget about your dick.

Thanks for the answer! I have never tested my dick, as this was something I used to do before this long streak where I relapsed several times. I guess time will tell, and I know I am overthinking this issue, but it is really hard not to think about my ED. For example, 2 days ago I was at a party were I met a girl and we were making out and stuff, and we had a realy good time, but then the next day when I woke up without an erection I got really depressed knowing that I maybe will never have sex again.

Do you have any advice for me on how to stop overthinking this, cuz I have tried everything and I also think that this frustration is holding everything back.

Yeah I only give that advice because Ive been through it.  It is a scary feeling when your dick just stops working.  You get worried that this is what life will be like.  It's not true, it will end eventually.  The flatline is not forever. You just need to trust in the process.  Many many many people have rebooted successfully and been through countless flatlines. It happens.  Some last 2 weeks, some last 2 months, some even longer.  It's different for everyone.  just trust that this process occurs and will work!  That'll help you calm down about it as you should be comforted that everyone goes through this that goes through a reboot.  Your situation is not unique.

The best thing you can do is stop thinking about sex or anything sexual.  Just focus on yourself and your life goals.  School, gym, books, your career, your job.  Anything like that.  Focus on friends and family.  There are a ton of other aspects of your life that you can focus on.

As Mr. Dragonball above said, the flatline is good! Its a great chance to enjoy NOT feeling horny for a change. Let your dick die for a while. Just like jesus, it will rise from the dead to feed (intercourse) on the sexual energy (orifices) of the living.
I cant count how many flatlines ive been through, still now i get them. Its not a bad thing, just relax.

NoFap Flatline is the stage of NoFap when you will experience Zero libido(Sexual Desire) and will start to see all the negative sides of NoFap. This simply means No Sexual Desire OR Urges for a specific amount of time that?s because your brain is going through A Rewiring Process.

If you are have gotten over the flat line within 30 days and that you think this is a very long time, then I don't think you know that much about it and that possibly you are not one of the worst cases of PIED.
