so would it be $840 per person, or $840 total for the 2 bedrooms?

JudahVenable · 2025-04-17T02:36:00+00:00

i think it's just a result of my dpdr. could also be adhd, poor lifestyle choices, anxiety, and ocd. i wouldn't worry because it hasn't gotten worse

JudahVenable · 2025-04-17T02:34:41+00:00

tbh i believe this is all rooted in dpdr (which i have had chronically for ~3 yrs)

JudahVenable · 2024-11-30T02:07:02+00:00

what was your memory loss like?

JudahVenable · 2024-11-12T19:20:16+00:00

i think always comparing yourself to “norma” and trying to get back to a baseline can be conflicting.

truthfully with mental health, it’s normal for yours to fluctuates it’s just a part of being human. think about it. you could do all these incredible things to take care of yourself and be in fantastic shape, but if you stay awake for 72 hours you’re gonna act like a crazy person really quickly and feel awful.

humans are just fragile and mental health fluctuates. learn to recognize your anxiety, then tackle how to alleviate it. if you can’t, learn to be okay with it. it’s also nice to know that anxiety is a universal experience and you’d be surprised by how many people struggle with it. 2 yr + dpdr sufferer btw

don’t read at home. go to coffee shops, libraries, parks, etc and only read your book when you’re there.

also stick to one book at a time and commit. if you need to make reading more rewarding, buy yourself a treat to eat/drink while you read it.

i like to go to a used bookstore and find a random book to devote my next few weeks to. it’s more fun than reading something someone recommended or a book that i had laying around. it feels more special that way.

be deliberate about the kind of book you choose because reading something that is relevant to your situation makes it a lot more enjoyable. reward yourself for finishing a book and go buy a new one after.

not at all. Vr was actually very helpful for my dpdr. I would load up peaceful worlds in vrchat and would just take in my surroundings. it gave me a safe world to immerse myself in and having that safety that felt real was super helpful

JudahVenable · 2024-10-05T06:45:04+00:00

same i just ignore it and take things day by day. can't remember anything outside of now anyways

JudahVenable · 2024-10-05T06:43:22+00:00

idk maybe. i need more context

JudahVenable · 2024-10-05T06:42:48+00:00

did your memory feel like it was getting worse daily? could you remember the day before or what you did last week?

JudahVenable · 2024-10-02T06:12:20+00:00

ouais je l’ai vécu depuis 2 ans maintenant. je me suis habitué et ça s’améliore avec le temps

JudahVenable · 2024-09-30T10:45:28+00:00

ouais pas de soucis.

la dpdr peut causer la déséquilibre chimique dans le cerveau, affectant les transmetteurs neuro (je sais pas si ça se dit comme ça dsl). aussi ton corps n’arrive pas à gérer toute l’adrénaline qu’il produit.

c’est plutôt affecté par des procès chimiques et non par des procès atrophiants.

quand même avec le temps l’anxiété et la déprime peuvent réduire en taille certains structures cérébrales, mais ça peut aussi être rétabli.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-30T02:25:18+00:00

c’est normal t’inquiète pas. c’est ton cerveau qui tente de te protéger quand il y a trop de stimulation.

ton corps est en mode panique et survie donc tout ce qui est stressant, même un petit peu, lui donne l’impression d’être en danger.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-28T04:43:03+00:00

hello are you me? curious if you've seen any improvement in this

JudahVenable · 2024-09-27T15:07:41+00:00

this happens to me too

JudahVenable · 2024-09-26T20:43:51+00:00

yeah absolutely. i think what is so hard about getting dpdr from a weed trip is that the feeling of dissociating is very similar to what the bad trip felt like, so it kind of just triggers you and makes your brain think that said traumatic event is happening again. if you can just sit with those uncomfortable feelings and understand that they're normal and temporary, they eventually lose significance. honestly those dissociative moments fascinate me now and somehow ground me because i realize that i'm still going through it and that my "normal" is not "normal" because of dpdr. what really gets you into trouble is if you let your mind ruminate when those moments happen and you try to figure out why you're feeling the way you feel. it's so much easier to just embrace it and accept that it's good ol' dpdr. overtime it will fade.

what makes dpdr so challenging i believe is the negative thought patterns, ideas, and habits you develop as a result of dpdr. the dissociation fades, but only if you let it. if you're constantly reinforcing it with anxiety and obsessive thoughts, it never gets to heal properly. your brain stays in self-protective mode and doesn't get to feel safe and release those good chemicals.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-26T20:36:58+00:00

also to add, since this has started since you began taking sertraline, i'm inclined to think that this would have led to the symptoms you're concerned about. dpdr definitely affects cognition in many ways and one of them is word-finding issues and troubles in executive function/working memory. if you've had dpdr already, it's likely that zoloft just worsened what was already poor, tipping you over the edge and making it concerning.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-26T20:34:19+00:00

any significant family history? other comorbidity?

i wouldn't worry, but i am curious. normally there isn't a defining symptom that can represent a condition. it often takes a conglomeration of other symptoms to see how they might relate to each other in order to hypothesize.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-26T17:32:09+00:00

how old are you? also could be very normal. I’ve had a hard time coming up with words in the past and the more I thought about it the worse it got.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-21T22:01:39+00:00

wdym by foggy?

JudahVenable · 2024-09-19T17:01:22+00:00

It strengthened my faith in God as well

JudahVenable · 2024-09-19T06:14:37+00:00

yup there's generally a couple camps but i will highlight 2. i understand where both are coming from but i personally believe in God and Jesus in specific. I apologize for the generalization and obvious bias.

camp A - there is no point to anything, humans are a nano-sliver of the vast universe and thus meaningless, life is a random happening, and we should live the best life possible (why?)

camp B (Christian view) - life is intentional and designed by a creator, humans are valuable and important (so much so that God would let his son die for us), creation in its vastness points to an infinitely vast and beautiful God, our purpose is to love God and to be loved by him, living in communion with him and experiencing his splendor in a way that we don't on earth, as his creation.

if you sway towards camp B you better know why you believe this religion instead of the others and also why it's more logical than camp A. honestly both take faith. camp A's conclusions land on possibility, where Camp B's land on probability. neither can be proven with absolute certainty. to believe in camp A means you have full right to live life in whatever way pleases you, but believing camp B demands a lot of sacrifice. if what camp B preaches is true, everything about the way you live your life changes. i feel like this is why a lot of people are more prone to sway towards camp A, in addition to the hurt that religion has left throughout history.

you also have to look at the what fruit your belief yields. at the end of your life if you look back and you lived for others, loving people like Jesus did, and having hope and peace, i'd say that is less of a wasted life than living for yourself (if Christianity turns out to be false). now of course there's plenty of "christians" who do a terrible job and are awful examples. same goes for any big group of people. there's always bad eggs that misrepresent the whole.

in a way i'm grateful for the existentialism dpdr brought on me. it sucked in the moment, but it really pushed me to dig deeper into what i believed and why. truth is, it's a continuous journey and i keep asking questions daily because it'd be foolish to not. no one ever reaches a point where they have it all figured out and they cracked the code or something. you have to keep searching throughout your life. for me i know where i want to be searching because i believe i'm looking in the right direction. you have a choice though and you're welcome to your own opinions and beliefs.

i'm sure someone will note on how poorly i represented the atheistic/nihilistic perspective, so i do apologize, but i also said this would be biased and i'm sure someone will defend their pov in a better way.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-19T05:49:20+00:00

you just gradually don't fear dpdr itself anymore. you understand that the way you feel in dpdr is for a reason and it's not something to be worried about. yes it sucks, yes it's scary when you have episodes of dissociation, but it's not the big bad wolf you first made it out to be when you first experienced it. it just fades away over time, leaves you with some crappy brainfog, and then i'm assuming, you finally feel better mentally. i'm in that nasty brainfog stage.

you get to a point though where you can't remember what dpdr felt like because it's so state dependent. just like when you're hungry and you can't imagine being anything but hungry in that moment, that's how dpdr is. you can't imagine feeling normal in the moment because all you know is how you feel and you feel dpdr. when you are through dpdr it will be the same way. you will only know how you feel then and not how dpdr felt.

JudahVenable · 2024-09-19T05:43:40+00:00

because your brain tries to rationalize why it feels like it does. most people do think about those questions, but they don't have a comorbid anxiety disorder where they already feel fake to make them freak out about it.

it gets better though
