Hey all,
Might be some tl;dr action in this post, apologies.
So, about 6 months ago I smoked a j with some mates and had a bad-ass anxiety attack, fearing I'd triggered schizophrenia (yes I know, soft drug to do so on). Long story short I woke up feeling foggy and wierd. Found out about DP/DR and it instantly matched what I was feeling. No visual disturbaces to note, apart from the classic foggy DR vision, which cleared up pretty well on its own. Only visual disturbace was streaky lights, for example if I flicked my eyes repeatedly over a light source it would streak. Life was on the up and up, feeling increased moments of recovery and what not.
Anywho, I've known about HPPD for months, but it never worried me. For some reason I decided to do some in depth research a couple of days ago. Hey presto! I'm fucking seeing split second positive after images every damn where, streaky vision, even swore I saw some geometric patterns in the silver mesh of my mates guitar amp, rah rah.
Unless my vision has SEVERELY decreased over the last two days I've either:
1) not noticed it before and now I'm hyper aware of everything, and looking for it everywhere.
2) accidentally taken lsd in the last 48 hours hahaha.
I definitely think there's some hyper awareness/confirmation bias happening here, but thought I'd post anyways.
N.B - I've never done any hard hallucinogenic, worst I've done was ecstacy like 4-5 years ago which I suspect was mostly speed.
