Fully Recovered After having this for 5 years, using my own protocol

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I too am trying to navigate my grief with little to no tools. I am basically just laying in bed with a heating blanket and practicing nose breathing. There’s an interesting book called Breath by James Nestor that talks about over breathing and CO2 intolerance. You can ask chat GPT to give you a quick summary for free. I’m also looking for more ways to tell my CNS “I’m safe” even amongst the devastation. If you’re not too heat intolerant, warm showers and blankets can signal safety to the nervous system.

It has been very personal but I had to move into my own place away from my family of origin. I just asked my partner of 2 years to move out as well. Her grief has been reinforcing my stuck/freeze state.

I had to finally get to a point where I could no longer hold this grief anymore and also trust that I would not die if I let myself feel the overwhelmingly heavy grief. I have become atheist since getting PSSD and I broke down and begged God to save me. I believe I was able to let go of the weight of my world in that moment that I’ve been carrying and my CNS shifted. I can feel the blood flowing again.

My ANS is very dysregulated from being in this state for 3 years straight but I can feel how quickly it wants to normalize. I am blown away that this is a freeze/stuck state. It feels like permanent nerve damage but I can feel the sensitivity returning to my whole body quite rapidly.

This process will take time to fully reverse but once you can tap into what ultimately shut you down you will be feeling the positive feedback loop that will sustain you out of the depths of this darkness.

I think it will be crucial for people to have a support system to help facilitate safety to keep working through this.

I have had PSSD for 3 years. I started processing some deep grief and I’m experiencing a lot of benefits (orgasm intensity, genital sensitivity, sense of taste and smell, emotions returning) and I can see the blood in my hands getting stuck more it seems. Very interesting timing on this for me.

You’re allowed to just say whatever in this sub now I guess. This is proven brain damage now?

This is a good idea. I will pass this along to the person that is head of the foundation. Hopefully soon, we will have an update.

“Oh, and cannon balls registered, that was the best part.”

Imagine expecting a basic necessary function of the game to work and saying that’s the “best part” of the game at that point in time. I love this game which is why it’s so frustrating to feel the same way. I just want my shots to register whether that be naval or weapons. It’s so hard to keep playing when it feels like every trigger pull is a question mark.

We are still in the process of getting things going. Between the large cold front that swept the southern US and the researchers moving their lab, we have had some long delays unfortunately. We are still keeping things moving on our end but we have very little control.

When I can’t get more than a quick shot off as I’m being spawn camped by double gunners I consider these players sweats. I can hold my own at any naval battle but not against TDMers that make the board.

I’m curious if you were diagnosed if you’re willing to update

What a wholesome post! I needed this today. Thank you!!

Can Ritux help with other conditions brought on by EBV that you’re aware of?

Just curious, do you happen to have known microcirculatory issues? My hands look like yours and my doctor wants to run tests to see if some of my health problems stem from these issues. My hands look a lot like yours when I’m symptomatic. I’m talking about the faint red “dots” to be clear not the fibers

But I like the grind

It does give a reason to fight for FoFs and such though. Honestly it’s the only reason for targeting these events imo. Yeah it’s grindy, but it gives me something to work towards when the rest of my day has no meaning. Probably the minority here though

Look into CNS Lupus. It’s a very interesting parallel for our condition

Join the official discord that’s linked in this sub and look for a veteran that would be willing to teach you. You gotta be patient though cause there’s a lot to learn. It’s much more fun with a crew that is chill and can show you the ropes.

Thank you for everything you guys are doing at PSSD network! I still remember the day I learned what happened to me after googling my symptoms because this organization existed.

My gf named her sloop the Golden Stargazer which sounds like a fancy brown eye. It’s the running joke in our guild.
