ok that is good, i see what u mean i will think about it no i dont have hppd, but im gonna take what u said and think about it, that's good advice, much luck to you and i hope you recover!!!! ps u have a cool avatar

OK i'll remember that! maybe its not a risk after all.. i used to have a lot of sleeping pills and if they didn't bring anything on maybe ill be fine. But i will still be careful!

yes that is true and i am aware of that, well it was my way of saying it. I got tinnitus from a traumatic incident where i didn't pay attention and i for no good reason exposed my fucking ear excuse my french to a loud drinking tap, BEEEEEE BEEE it went and now my ears go BEEEE BEEE even now i can hear it at night, like a singing seashell. I've learned since that tinnitus is more common than not and that its more that i noticed it and became traumatized by my own fear. OK so, now i expect it everywhere i go, knee break? insane from weed? what u bring up is true and i've realized that and i'm working on that. I guess i let my life become smaller and let myself become a smaller person from worrying, don't go here, don't go there, don't go out clubbing because ofthe noise, dont go to concerts, don't smoke weed => insane and hppd. so I'm gonna make a CHANGE. OK SO, i'm gonna do what i need to do now. and THEN i'm not gonna let my life be run by faulty beliefs!!!! EDIT: and also; i think my tinnitus comes from being oversensitive, and maybe a little aspergers if i may say so, which brings on more sensitivity to sound and noise, and therefore i fear also (but have no proof) to NEURO input, and to COLOUR so if HPPD is tinnitus of the eyes... u can imagine... but i think it'll be ok, so instead this is about the WHAT IF?! i have tinitus to the ears,,, why not also get tinnitus of the eyes....

ok, well I have normal static that i don't notice until i think about it. I wouldn't consider it HPPD though, this is not from weed since i only smoked four times yet. Also i sit too much in front of the computer so i get bad eyesight.. Well I'm just the worrying kind.. I guess i would use weed for spiritual purposes, and maybe also chill out and manage my day.. The question is between waiting and using later, or not using at all. I just thought i'd ask here to get a grip on how ppl feel, I guess by now i'll wait and hold off.. Jay is right i'm a hypchondriac, i invent possible catastrophies and then i obsess about them to subconsciously entertain myself. IT's gotten better with time. It's good to hear your views.. as of right now, i'll wait. And then i'll see and decide later, the plan is to wait until i dont feel like inventing this hppd thing because i invent it even if i take only a small hit that i would never worry from, but the knowledge to have take a "risk" or whatever... I don't entirely agree with dr abraham althought his advice would be sound for me. I know people who smoke every day all day for a year now and they're not worse off. They have sturdy minds, i guess, that do not wander where mine wanders...I guess my worrying comes from me not liking genetic diseases, and this HPPD seems like genetically predisposed, OK well its nice to hear peoples opinions. I feel a little safer already.

I got pretty scared to smoke weed from reading this forum, now if i try to smoke i dont want to because i start making stuff up about getting hppd so i start inventing this stuff. Now i'm afraid I might get hppd from worrying about it. I notice i have some static vision that i took for granted before, now I always check if it gets worse Since i read about people having ADD and getting hppd easier then I feel since I have an ADD diagnosis, but I heard u could also get it form sleeping pills like ambien and imovane, and i've had those before especially imovane and i still live...so i could handle that.. How bad do you think weed is for you? Is it plausible to worry about hppd and DP from W? I could smoke a little before but now when i started reading up on psychosises i can't smoke, I don't even think i smoke that much, just one hit sometimes... How much should i worry about this... i'm definently gonna wait to smoke until i feel better, but ...should i quit totally? it doesn't seem worth it to ruin your visual field for smoking but if i dont end up doing that then im worrying about nothing...and i'm passing up on lifes opportunity to actualize myself... well...i thought i'd ask for some wisdom here.. since this is the scaries thing i read about in a while.. thanks a lot!!

ok cool ddude, maybe ill hold off for a while but eventually i will try best of lluck to u and all the others fighting hte good fight. i hear that meditation seminar would be useful, i saw that in the other thread. maybe that would be something for me too, if i can stand the 10 days!!

dude how common is it to get hppd from ambien? as common as weed? im trying to figure out if i will get hppd from weed, i haven't smoked much yet but i've used plenty of zopiclone in my day as a sleeping aid ( well i used it mostly recreationally...) i feel ok but i have some visual snow that i am 100% positive is from either looking at screens to much or is natural causse i remeber it from childhood thanks
