Well yeah no, 'cause it’s cold here eh?

cold weather Aussies.

looks at Canadians

Huh.

I appreciate you and wish you luck on your pitch to Corus.

Milk, butter, a lil’ cream cheese, extra shredded cheese, spices to taste. You’re welcome.

Boil mac and cheese*, drain the pasta, put in industrial cheese powder agent, moisten with water instead of milk, put in butter/margarine/tears and stir.

*Note that this refers to what us Canucks call Kraft Dinner (which has the Kleenex effect going on, kinda). Proper mac and cheese is not a struggle meal in comparison.

Combatives are fun as hell, and the athleticism and coordination improves with training, but yeah - all carry at least some of risk of brain injury.

Didn’t 100% do it for me, but fencing might scratch that itch a litte bit. Risk is still there but much lower than hand-to-hand combat sports.

I’d recommend seeking out a therapist if it causes you distress, specifically one with some clinical interest in psychedelics if possible (keywords include ‘integration therapy’). Know that while there’s still a lot to learn about HPPD, you are not alone, and in a lot of cases it can be managed. It’s mostly a question of recognizing your triggers and developing tools to work through them (so if stress is a trigger, stress reduction techniques; abstinence from cannabis or other drugs if that’s a trigger (pretty common), etc.)

Some folks just kinda roll with it, but there is stuff you can do to help manage.

Have them pop up, but they work extremely erratically. Mostly pop up in the context of reading a single text, which changes if I think to look at it again (rare).

Buttons do whatever they feel like (mostly nothing or stuck keys producing garbage text), and I don’t think I’ve made or received a phone call (can’t say this for landlines when they show up).

Idk man, dreams are weird.

Lol, HPPD goes brrrrr.

I can’t tell you if this is what you’re experiencing, but worth a read if you haven’t come across the term before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_perception_disorder
