Hello Friend,  I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.  I will preface this with saying that I am not a doctor.  I tell everyone I encounter on this forum the same thing to help them recover: Stop all drugs (even alcohol for a bit if you can)  Get as much sleep as you can  Exercise regularly even if it makes your symptoms worse Eat well  Stay busy with work/ school/ hobby etc Try not to worry  Learn to meditate if you can (this was really helpful for me)  If you're open to it, start praying to God (it doesn't have to be any particular religion just ask for help on your knees everyday.  I really believe it will come if we reach out) I think in your situation it makes sense to just give it time and see what happens.  One thing I am sure of is that weed usually worsens symptoms of HPPD (if you in fact have it).  So maybe just take a break from the pot for a few months and see if you feel better.  Another thing, try not to obsess over the situation this will only create anxiety which usually makes things worse.  The internet can be an incredible resource but it can also be a rabbit hole and can drive a person crazy.  Just trust that the body and mind are incredibly resilient machines and if put in the right conditions can overcome tremendous adversity; I know this from experience.   Hang in there and stay positive and keep reaching out.  Take Care, Nick
