  1. Anyone cracked the code to eliminating constant head pressure? Seems to get worse after poor sleep, being unwell or over exerting myself during exercise. A numb face and restless feeling usually accompanies this feeling and never goes away!
  2. Thanks for the response, meditation is definitely something I’m keen to try. Keen to get to that happy and productive life, just seems incredibly out of reach at the moment with this trippy headspace I’m caught in, but will keep chipping away. Cheers
  3. Hi guys, First post here and after a bit of advice. I'll keep it short. Currently 6 months into this horrible condition and still having a lot of trouble trying to live a normal life. Thought I'd share with you my symptoms and routine, open to any suggestions or other ideas that may help as nothing really seems to be helping yet. Mid 20s, fit, healthy - only ever took mdma (possibly 2cb). As you'll see below it's mainly the mental side of things that are troubling me the most. I've accepted this is my new vision, as shit as it is and ready to just move on with my life and try and be happy again, although this is proving to be a lot easier said than done. Symptoms: - Visual snow, afterimages, floaters, BFEP, no night vision: Very dense visual snow day and night, all I worried about for the first few months but adjusted to this now and don't let it bother me too much. Has not improved at all over 6 months. - Tinnitus: only developed last couple of months, loud in a quiet room but I don't let it bother me. - DP/DR: Had crippling anxiety for the first 3 months (24/7) from morning to night and experienced constant DP/DR whilst having this anxiety. After the anxiety went away I thought I would get my grip on reality back and this DP/DR feeling would go away. I was wrong, the DP feeling's definitely went away when the physical anxiety did, although I felt that the DR remained. I still feel totally disconnected to the environment and the people around me whilst being completely emotionally flat. After seeing a psychologist that specialised in this, he advised that although I have many symptoms of DP/DR that overlap it is 'just caused by drugs' and is not DP/DR.... I guess this falls under the depression banner? - Depression: ever since developing this, have not been able to feel any emotions or enjoy anything that I used to. Everything feels the same, getting up, going to work, playing sport, hanging out with mates. It honestly would not matter if I was doing them or sitting at home staring at the wall for 12 hours it all feels the same. - Anxiety: Never really experienced anxiety much before so experiencing crippling anxiety for the first 3 months was hell. Mostly gone now, although I assume I am still very anxious in my mind without the physical symptoms as I have developed severe somatic OCD which is absolutely horrible and possibly been the hardest thing to deal with everyday. The worst thing is there is no medication to take for it to help, as SSRI's are known to exacerbate symptoms in VS. - 'Trippy' headspace: Despite all these symptoms, I can't help but notice there is an underlying 'trippy' headspace that just doesn't seem right. I have great difficulty trying to explain this to anyone but it just feels so 'off' and uncomfortable that unless it goes away, I am going to find it very hard to move on with life as much as I am trying!! It's a very spaced out type of feeling. Does this feeling go away and why is it not discussed more often?? - Insomnia: Haven't had a proper night sleep for 6 months, had many sleepless night and when I do sleep I feel like I am dreaming all night which is frustrating. Tried sleep teas, magnesium baths, valerian but nothing seems to work. Some nights I also have bad Restless Leg syndrome which means I can't sleep at all. Routine: After a lot of research I've being sticking to a routine and diet that I believe is best to not only help heal the brain, but restore mental health to be able to move on and try live a happy life with this condition. Been going for the glutamate/GABA balance theory a lot of you have discussed on here. Diet: - Keto (Low carbs, high fat, no sugar, no gluten) - No alcohol, don't smoke Supplements: - Nac - Fish oil omega 3 - Cod Liver oil - Vitamin B complex - Magnesium - Taurine - Probiotic - Tumeric Nutritionist has got me on these below for 12 weeks for mylien sheath repair? Dunno but giving it a go: - Lipoic Acid - Eye rite (Vitamin A, Lutein, Zeaxanthin) Recently stopped taking Lions mane and ashwaghanda as I found they made no difference. Exercise: - Training 5-6 times a week, sport, running, gym - at pretty high intensity - Cold showers morn/night - Walks, riding, swimming Anyways, let me know if anyone else has any suggestions, tips or tweaks to my routine that you think may help. Obviously trying to live as normal life as possible still forcing myself to work, study, be social although all these are extremely hard. Thanks
