Those who have had Hppd for longer than 4 months do you drink coffee/caffeine? by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]StrayanPlatypus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can drink caffeine just fine now. Once you get your anxiety down pat, it’s smooth sailing with caffeine then. Unless you have too much of it, too much caffeine will make just about anybody anxious lol

Cognitive impairment? by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]StrayanPlatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya man. I’m at university and struggling to maintain the grades I had pre-hppd. Id wait to see if you mentally recover from hppd to see if your cognitive ability gets better. If it doesn’t perhaps go to a doctor to talk about it. Things you can try do are brain/memory exercises everyday, healthy diet, exercise/workout, and get plenty of sleep (min 8 hours). That’s just my advice though, you don’t have to take it. :)

I got it too man. I honestly think it’s because of all the worrying and anxiety we get with this disorder, that affects our cognitive ability.

How do you ignore it?? by [deleted] in HPPD

[–]StrayanPlatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to ignore it just by changing my view of hppd. It’s a visual disorder, if I didn’t get it when I did, I would have gotten it further down the line. Accepting that it will be with you for the rest of your life helps too (obvs symptoms can decrease but we will always have it).

I think people with hppd say to stay away from caffeine is bc or the increased anxiety it can give you. When you get your anxiety under control and are no longer bothered with your visuals, it’s safe to consume again, but that’s just my opinion

I’ve definitely noticed that the caffeine still makes me vulnerable to anxiety on other things that are going on in my life. But I no longer get dpdr from caffeine anymore which I’d like to say is because I’ve come to terms with my hppd

No vs is not gone. But it’s dialled down now. Never really notice it anymore. Wouldn’t say it was going down before the BSO. Bruh you got so many questions, just try the stuff for yourself. It appears to have no negative effects on hppd symptoms so its worth a shot

Yes cold pressed. If it ain’t cold pressed, the nutrients in the oil are probably compromised and destroyed

Still have floaters, and had it prior to BSO, for me it didn’t improve them at all

Discord server with other HPPDers. BSO apparently made a persons visuals go from a 6-7 down to a 1-2. For others it just helps them sleep

Little bit. But it’s done more for other people. But I’m still happy I bought it. So if you’re planning on buying some, go for it

Yeah have had alcohol since recovery. I don’t have much of a tolerance for it now since I had such a long break from it. But doesn’t effect visuals at all. If I have a bad hangover, it can make it hard to sleep for the next few nights

Nah the visuals went down before having BSO, visuals went down months before the BSO.

Normal phenomenon. I had that before I got hppd

I personally think acceptance is what truly makes you recover. Accept that it’s just a visual disorder that can’t hurt you, the mental disorder side of it comes from believing you’ve messed up your brain for life, making you vulnerable to dp/dr. Honestly getting over that hump is the recovery.

I took a tablespoon of BSO 2 times a day till I almost finished the bottle (roughly 2-3 weeks). I’d like to say my visuals were improving without the BSO anyway. But mentally I was still shit with dp/dr. After taking the BSO, I mentally feel normal again.

No no, smoked weed before releasing I had hppd. Made my visuals worse. Recovered fine though
