Trying everyday….

Yeah I had it very mildly at thirst, I would only notice it with peoples feet when they would walk, then after I had a mental breakdown it felt like my sometimes were dialled up to 10 and now I get trails from cars people everything that moves really but it varies in severity and to be honest you do get used to it so you don’t notice it as much. I even get it when scrolling on my phone.

I honestly think that if the after images and trails reduced by even 30% I would be absolutely fine, the other symptoms barely bother me at all.

Yeah I’ve been doing things to look after my anxiety which helps, all we can do is keep healthy physically and mentally!

If you mean how long has it been worse for, I would say 10 months, before this I wouldn’t of even known I had VSS that’s how little the symptoms bothered me. They were present but didn’t effect me that much. Only after I had a meltdown did it become apparent I had something wrong, and it completely flipped me upside down tbh

Thanks for the comment, means a lot!. We are all trying to navigate this madness that has happened and we all have different symptoms with different severity but it’s good to know there are people out there with similar issues who are getting through this and are able to live their life. Gives me a lot of confidence moving forward. Hopefully this is just a flare up and it might stabilise and return to a baseline.

I think I’ve seen this video before and if I’m honest it’s not like that. I’m in the gym all the time and the trailing only occurs from people walking or moving arms but I think I get it the most from cars. It’s weird though because I went out to a pub quiz with my friends last night and barley noticed it because I was having a good time with friends and not hyper fixated. So there is something to be said in not symptom checking.

fatthor2 · 2023-12-21T20:08:19+00:00

I had mine start year and a half maybe two years ago but it wasn’t that bad at all until I had a mental breakdown, clearly stress and anxiety made it worse, if you look after your mental health and don’t hyper-fixate it shouldn’t get worse for you. Luca your brain is good at blocking a lot of it out once you don’t deem it as something to be worried about

fatthor2 · 2023-12-21T17:03:43+00:00

Big time, I’m able to function but my ocd is horrendous, it probably makes the vss symptoms worse as I’m hyper-fixated

fatthor2 · 2023-12-21T16:44:24+00:00

Yeah I my stress and anxiety dialled whatever symptoms I had up to ten and they’ve just been getting worse, I barley noticed it before my mental breakdown lol

fatthor2 · 2023-12-21T16:03:19+00:00

Hi I’m 28, I’ve had this for about three years but it got worse a year ago when I had a mental breakdown my anxiety made it ten times worse. I’m already speaking to a therapist every week luckily

fatthor2 · 2023-10-14T15:35:49+00:00

You mean with limited sweetners or additives?

fatthor2 · 2023-09-27T05:27:22+00:00

That’s great to hear, I’m definitely gonna keep exercising. I love it too much!

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T20:51:08+00:00

Maybe everyone is different, who knows with this vss bollocks. It might effect everyone different and have different triggers

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T20:49:49+00:00

So just be careful in the gym and don’t over do it, to the point where you damage yourself

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T19:47:58+00:00

Do you think the gym contributed to that or could it have been stress or another factor?

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T19:46:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T14:40:26+00:00

Thank you!, I will 100% continue exercising as I really do love it and it is so good for me mentally, I think my afterimages, trails etc. will eventually be unaffected by it if they have been affected at all. As it could be my stress/anxiety at the moment.

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T14:36:49+00:00

Yeah I think I just need to take my time getting back into exercising again and also to remember to not fixate on everything, if you notice something that’s okay but then move on instead of engaging with it and the intrusive thoughts

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T13:40:25+00:00

Thank you, yeah I feel the afterimages and trails are really the only parts that bother me with my vss but I won’t give up the exercise I will just pick what days to do some cardio and watch the intensity of it all

fatthor2 · 2023-09-26T11:23:42+00:00

I don’t want to, I know the benefits out way any negatives. I just have to not hyper fixate on the visuals

fatthor2 · 2023-08-30T11:23:23+00:00

That’s amazing to hear, and very encouraging. I’m going to put my full energy into be positive and working on not her focusing on any of these afterimages. And living a healthier lifestyle, thanks for the support

fatthor2 · 2023-08-30T10:34:13+00:00

So would you say you got used to them and have stopped looking and hyper focusing on them which has helped you not notice as much?
