How is your sleep?

 

Could you summarise your symptoms, if you'd like to?

My sleep is ok, I sleep enough and get like 6-8 hours on average. The morning depression is horrendous though.

My worst symptoms are headpressure, throbbing sensation all over my body and feeling inflamed, severe PSSD with shrinkage, weird veins and discoloration of the penis, stinging pains in the heart area and just general chest pressure, not able to physically exhaust myself as much. I am also very depressed and often suicidal. Of course I am quite anhedonic and dont find joy in much but in stuffing myself with food that I like. I also feel a bit weird, as if I am not myself anymore and the person I was died in March of the last year. Thanks for asking Luke, I hope you are not suffering too much.

Thanks. All very common symptoms.

 

Being able to sleep is good. Hopefully in time that leads to recovery.

Thank you Luke! You are a good guy. I was impressed by how you made this forum.

Hey

 

My sleep is ok, I sleep enough and get like 6-8 hours on average.

Mine is similar, sometimes enough, sometimes not.

 

My worst symptoms are headpressure

I get this. Constant almost. Worst part for me for sure.

 

I'm sorry about all the symptoms, they are very tough.

 

Hang tight time will see us alright. How much time, no one knows but I very much believe that given enough time we will all improve.

Thank you Chippy for the heads up! It certainly helps when you are feeling down almost constantly!

Chippy has done a huge amount of work on this site, so he deserves some recognition as well.

I rarely get it anymore, but I also regularly had head pressure.

Yes and thanks to Chippy too!

Hi Миша,

How are you doing? I hope that you experience some improvement. Almost a year from our horrendous journey, a real ordeal... Ужась, никогда не думала что такой ад может бьiт реалност...

Thank you Svetla! I feel a bit less sick lately so maybe it will get better now slowly. I really, really hope the same for you. 
 

I agree, I never even imagined that this type of hellish torture was possible. I am praying for you Svetla!

Great, Миша. That is wonderful, I am so happy for you.

Please pray for me, 

Svetla

That's good, I hope you begin to have other improvements.

Thanks Luke, you too!

Hi @MischaDE,

How are you now ?

Hi @MischaDE,

How are you now ? 

Hello, thanks for asking. I am not great but it could also be worse. At least I am not coughing my lungs out and puking up stomach acid. I very much feel like I have been crippled for life though, its hard to convince me that I am not. 
 

How are you and what are your main issues?

Hello @MischaDE

 

These aren't typical withdrawal symptoms. Have you talked to your doctor about them? Do you smoke?

 

I'm not doing well either. The only thing that improved are the brain zap, I'm almost out, and my appetite is better.

Everything else is bad. Days are equal to the nights. The world turns, but without me. It’s an enormous suffering, yes. 😔

I also think I'm handicapped for life like you, but as long as there is life, there is hope.
We all have these terrible negative thoughts that persist, but it seems they eventually fade as we heal. It's a very slow process; we have no choice, we need to accept it. Every day is a "lost" day, as if we're living in a bubble. But we must find a meaning to this suffering. It's so hard. But illness doesn't only bring bad things, if you look closely. After recovery, we'll see things differently.

Did some symptoms improve for you?

We must stick to that. 

Time and God are our best friends. Time is a great teacher, he rule out things. ☺️

No I dont smoke and these symptoms could just be symptoms of depression or an irritated stomach. It hasnt happened lately thankfully.

 

I am sorry to hear that and its good that you still have this hope in you that you will recover fully. I am trying my best to stay positive but its difficult.

 

What meaning do you find in this suffering?

That it is a fight against the devil and that is good over evil.

Uh, now that you mention it, I cough every morning. It must be anxiety. But it’s light.

@MischaDE

 

stay strong bro you got this man
