memory loss and lack of concentration

[Saff]

Recently i havent been able to concentrate at all, have felt pretty spaced out most of the time, like ive had really vivid dreams and reality seems dreamy, my memory is fucked and time seems distorted. Is this shit normal for hppd? Im mostly worried as in may i have my GCSEs (big exams for 16 year olds). I just wondered if anyone else experianced this and how they delt with it if possible.  Thanks ? xx

It's what is known as DP/DR and it's a part of HPPD for most of us... I've always described it as like the last hour of a trip.. You are 90% back to normal, but still feel a bit off. Clonazepam helps a bit, but I would not recommend that at your age. Try your best to de-stress and focus on studying, as much as possible. The more you can distract yourself, the better you will feel. 

Good luck with your exams!
