well dont forget hppd contains much more than visual symptoms there are several other physical symptoms i have and would exchange them for visuals at any time because they're so crippling

what physical symptoms do you experience?

oh wow that's pretty sweet (: and yeah Apple is lame lol. thanks for telling me about it and congrats on making an app!

Hi Megan, welcome to the forums

Perhaps you could describe your symptoms. Describe what makes you consider whether you have HPPD.

If you want to read about other people's experiences with HPPD, I recommend that you read some of the threads in the Introductions subforum - there are lots to pick from My personal story is Here.

thank you! I have read quite a lot of threads on here in every different section, including this one! hasn't helped me figure much out. right now I'm thinking that I may have some symptoms, but I wouldn't say for sure that I have HPPD. if I did I would say it's very mild. I will probably post more on what I'm experiencing when I get on a computer next. and thanks for sharing your story, I'll check it out!

Wait more time. A 1 month recovery is the best. 1 year is more realistic.

that's a long time :/

Most terms you can get an explanation on Google.

 

For example this is visual snow:

 

 

Right now for me, with closed eyes, is something like 1/8 the severity of this, very little snow, most of my vision is black but very small purple points.

 

 

In my worst moments I saw something like this when I closed the eyes:

 

 

Initially my HPPD had few symptoms. It was mostly a joke. I continued taking drugs and found myself in a pretty bad mental condition one-two years later. Being sober and leading a healthy life is what you need to do if you want to continue with a normal life. Don't take risks with drugs anymore.

yeah I knew I could google most terms but it is nice to get definitions from those who are actually experiencing the symptoms. thank you for the images that was really nice to see! and yes I agree, that's the best thing anyone could do. unfortunately it's just not something I know if I'm ready for yet.

thank you so much!

You probably took nbome or some lsd analog.

the second time, when this girl I know bought, I'm pretty sure that was some really bad synthetic shit. I wasn't even tripping it was just really weird. I'd explain it but that's not really important lol. but the thing is, it's been more than a month since I've done any drug or anything and I still have this stuff happening to me.

aw this is terrible :/ sounds like the worst symptom you could get. I don't know how you guys are able to handle things like this. I really hope it goes away for you or gets better.

that would be really great. one with common terms and phrases used would be great. I just made a thread about that because I don't know a lot of the terms people are using and I want to see how/if they relate to me

seriously. I've been posting a lot and looking around a lot, and I'm new as of yesterday. but no one else is doing anything. this is the deadest forum I've ever joined lol. I'll just keep posting and soon my name is gonna be on everything lol. I'll have all the newest statuses and everything lol.

I don't know I stumbled upon the site and just lurked for a few days then decided to join. I see that a lot of times there will be like 10+ guests and under 5 members online. that's so annoying because this forum is so dead. more people need to join so it can be more lively!

the link doesn't work for me

so I have personally been doing my own research on HPPD to see if I have it myself. but really it's only been on this website that I have seen lots of 'terms' that I don't quite understand. I've had to search to figure out what the terms meant. like visual snow, I didn't quite understand that one. plus I know there's terms I haven't even heard of yet. so I was just wondering if someone could explain to me all the terms that are commonly used to describe symptoms of HPPD. that would be really helpful because then I can put words to what I've been experiencing. sorry if there's already a thread like this. but if you respond, thank you so much (:

also thank you so much for responding (: I noticed this was a small community so I didn't think anyone would.

I discovered my hppd after a trip of 20 hours, so, I went to a hospital and take some clonazepam to sleep, I was out of control, and when I woke up, I was still in the trip, in really, I am in the trip from that day to today.

 

Welcome.

that's crazy. the time I took 3 hits of acid it was my first time and I tripped for like 2 days I swear. it was crazy. I never went to the hospital though. would you say your symptoms happen a lot or all the time?

hey! so I'm new here. I have an iPhone 6 so I just have to view this from Safari. it's not my preferred way of doing things. I visit another community online very often as well. the website is the exact same set up as this one, it's just for eating disorders instead lol. Tapatalk is an app that allows you to easily access any online forums. I have the one for eating disorders and you can follow threads, follow sections, and you get alerts directly to your phone. it's amazing. so is there a way to find this website on tapatalk? if not then I really suggest the creators of this site figure out how to go about getting their site on tapatalk! because I'm not sure how all that works lol. but I think it'd be super useful for all of the users here. I'm gonna attach screen shots of how the app looks. I didn't want to show it with the community I'm apart of for personal reasons, so I just clicked a random forum and took screen shots lol.

but like especially with the community I am apart of, we weren't able to get apple or anyone to make an app especially for what the site is about because well it's basically promoting actions of eating disorders. so this tapatalk app is like amazing because we basically get an app anyway (: hope this all makes sense I'm typing this while I'm really tired and I'm too lazy to go back and proof read lol.

wow lol. marijuana I don't know why my phone changed it to with an h but it kept doing that just now too.

you can trip on marihuana?

how did you guys meet people with HPPD?? I wanna meet people with it.

I don't understand, what is the app? I have apple but I'm curious (:

Silva your room is so cute and clean lol.

my room is a mess right now. but I just have a bed, lots of clothes, a vanity area, and a bunch of dream catchers!

hey so I just joined. I kind of like this forums set up, because it's just like another forum I visit often (for an eating disorder). so I already know how to use everything.

I feel like if you're a regular here then you probably see a lot of people posting here like 'I don't know if I have hppd', and that might be a bit annoying but this is basically another one of those posts lol.

My names Megan, and I'm 16. I'll be 17 on the 23rd though. I've taken LSD 2 or 3 times depending on how you look at it. the first time I had one hit, nothing happened. I don't know what went wrong with that. but I had bought 4 hits, so I still had 3 left. a week or so later I (ignorantly) decided to take all 3 hits at once and I tripped like crazy and for the longest time ever. this is the first drug I've ever done, never drank, never smoked, nothing. then a couple months later my friend bought and we both had one hit each and I didn't like whatever she had bought. it wasn't 'right' at all. so that's just a little background on my drug use.

I would like to ask all of you about how you found out you had HPPD? or when you realized it? when you started to notice symptoms? what symptoms were there? the more information you could give me, the more it would help and the more I would appreciate it (: I've been doing my own research on HPPD as well as schizophrenia. but I think it's really cool in a way that I can talk to people who actually experience HPPD. I think it'll help me figure out if I have it, and just a lot of other things. I can talk about the reasons why I think I may have it, but that would be quite long and this post is already very long lol.

thank you for reading (:
