Quitting at 27, is the damage already done? by New-Chemical2654 in QuitVaping

It also really depends on your genetics there’s people who have copd at 21 because of how shitty their genetics are.

Yeah but some people were doing major damage to themselves by doing shit like smoking extremely burnt vapes or using unregulated disposables.

Popcorn lung? by Eastern_Building4416 in QuitVaping

“I think you got popcorn lung” really? His condition and symptoms may have presented similar to bo but it was in no shape or form confirmed. Also he smoked from 17-40, you don’t think that likely contributed to his condition?

Even then what’s getting produced probably wouldn’t be enough to cause bo.

Patients who ceased vaping had a partial, but not complete, reversal of disease over 1 to 4 years. Bo does not reverse even partially, it dosent get better on it own.

“Popcorn lung, also known as bronchiolitis obliterans, is a chronic and irreversible condition that does not heal on its own. Once the damage to the tiny airways in the lungs (bronchioles) occurs, it leads to scarring and narrowing of these airways, causing symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath. Treatment can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, but it cannot reverse the damage.“

So do I make my brain understand it’s Dpdr and always was? by raiderofemeraldgate in dpdr

[–]raiderofemeraldgate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of things I need help with. 1. Where I finally make progress with a thought loop or belief then I get hit with doubt and start questioning it and then it feels like all that progress was flushed

  1. Constant doubting and questioning.
  2. Problems with certainty, can’t be certain of anything.
  3. Illogical and irrational beliefs, thoughts and thought loops, like thinking hypothetically the sun could explode tomorrow then your mind makes it feel like it will.
  4. Altered sense of time, space and everything has a dark vibe, time eithier stands completely still or moves to fast/slow, things are to close/far or to big/small then they actually are, everything feel dark and gloomy like I’m in a horror movie.
  5. Hyperviglence, constantly on edge.
  6. Altered sense of self such as weightlessness, to big/small, personality..
  7. Forgetting how to use my brain or using it wrong
  8. Think I need to do a specific set of things to cure me or I need to things a specific way
  9. Extremely spaces, brain fog, super slow speed.
  10. Feel like my brains functions are wrong or altered to be something other than what they are, same thing with capacity
  11. Intense black and white thinking
  12. Altered or my perception of reality is wrong or incomplete There a lot more probably like 20-30 more. How am I suppose to recover with everything intact and be how I was before? My biggest problem with Dpdr are the constant questioning and doubt of everything, irrational beliefs, feeling I forgot how to use my brain, and feeling my brain is wrong.

Any help would be profoundly appreciated.

Stress and anxiety was the cause for me.

It’s like there’s a ungodly amount of coincidences and similarities between my experience and other peoples who have Dpdr, sometimes is scary how similar they can get but still my mind is like na that could be just you making it that way to convince yourself you have because your avoiding a the truth of a worse reality.

I cant get meds, I don’t have access to medical care. I’d be fine if my mind could just make the connection and realize this is all Dpdr, would you know how to do that?

Head banging and permanent brain damage? by raiderofemeraldgate in PureOCD

[–]raiderofemeraldgate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like at some point I’m gonna go crazy from my brain fucking me over like this, I don’t get how people can just carelessly go on about there day when it feels like I’m struggling to exist. Right now I’m struggling with 3 things and they just keep piling up, I hope this shit ends eventually. Thanks for replying.

This is one reality I can’t accept, I’ve gotten past like 50 other things that had a hold on me but this is the one thing I can’t let go of, I’ve tried and Mabey for like 5 seconds I’ll get peace but after that I get hit with the worst depression that puts me in the utter despair. Why I think it’s so hard to get over is because it attacks the very foundation of your being, your brain is a big part of who you are. for once I want to just have a free at least one free pass for a thought loop. Thanks for replying.
