I think it happens because your brain is re-wiring itself - and you are in a state of limbo where you no longer have the external stimulus that you have used before, and neither have had the chance to develop the natural connections for producing “feel good chemicals” - so your brain is in abstinence - and use your psyche to find ways to make you stop this abstinence - in this case making you worried that “something is wrong with you and you need to make sure it is still working”. Read some about it, have faith and don’t give in to the tricks that are played on you and you will start to find ways to develop more natural pathways of feeling well
That's exactly what the flat line is about. It's a fantastic sign of healing. Means the process is working. Everything "down there" works fine, and WILL work fine in the future. It's important not to risk ruining all the progress made, just to "test" things.
I know the flat line well. May be coming out of one today in fact, based off two dreams I had. Both centered around girls I know in real life. One was somewhat sexual, those are extraordinarily rare for me, so that is VERY notable. We'll see if it this sticks, this might be a turning point. Some people ebb in and out of a few flat lines before things stabilise.
Just stay the course no matter what.
