This needs to improve or I don’t know how I can keep going. I couldn’t even work rn if I wanted to. I have the most intense head pressure / tightness / tingling electrical sensations all throughout the day. In DPDR. Tension headaches. My life was pretty normal despite minor visuals and depression 6 days ago. I’m in more of a hell than I was on first onset. I don’t really have any emotional support, i’m neurodivergent. It’s been a painful last 6 days and I really wish god would take me out of my misery one way or another. And If i do recover idk how i won’t have ever lasting trauma from this and medication. Recreational drugs did it to me the first time and pharmaceutical drugs did it to me the second time. I’m sick.

I need to understand this disorder a bit more. My student has just been diagnosed with HPPD after dropping some mushrooms. She's in her first year of doing the International Baccalaureate which is incredibly stressful. I'm due to meet her for the first time on Monday.

Firstly my concern before all of that is should she even be doing the IB? It's an intense course. Do you guys think it would be better to wait a year?

Secondly do you have any advice? What helps? How can I be helpful?

I'm not all judgy about it, I took mushrooms myself at her age with thankfully no ill effects.
