  1. Thanks for posting this! I've been experiencing HPPD for about 9 months now. Only took acid once and BOOM, the never ending trip that I thought was a fallacy, actually happened to me lol. It's been the most gigantic struggle of my life thus far. I am 29 years old. If you would like to connect, I'd be so grateful. My email is amandarochell@gmail.com. Thanks again. Big love, Amanda
  2. Thank you for posting here! I really enjoyed your barking dog analogy. It's so true. Gotta wake up and choose the mindset for the day. Practice smiling and gratitude. Which is easier said than done when dealing with HPPD, but it has a snowball effect...once you start practicing, the momentum increases and it becomes easier each day. I luckily have a psychiatrist who is familiar with HPPD, I take one med to help me sleep. I've lost so much weight because I went so many nights without sleep + intense panic and anxiety. I don't drink any alcohol or do any drugs...except for that one hit of lsd that got me into this spot lol. Anyways, I'm curious to know how you're doing now! peace, Amanda
  3. Hey! I've been grappling with HPPD for about 9 months now. It came on 3 months after taking a single hit of lucy for my first time ever. Other than that I had only microdosed on mushies a couple times and only smoked a weed like once a year. The intense colors, visuals, lack of sleep, anxiety/panic/paranoia eventually led me to seek out therapists and ultimately psychiatric help, at least for sleep! I definitely went through psychosis due to the severe sleep deprivation...delusions and all. I take one medication that has helped me catch up on the months of missed sleep. Looking back from Dec/Jan, I've come a far way. I practice brain games every day and have reclaimed my ability to read and comprehend, although it is not as easy as it was before. I would love to talk with you if you're still up that...I know this post is like 7 years old, but I thought I'd try my luck. Big love! Amanda. My email is amandarochell@gmail.com if you're up for connecting!
  4. Hi! I'm new here. I've been experiencing HPPD for 8 months now after my first and only trip on LSD last spring. The anxiety and depersonalization it brought with it led me into months of sleepless nights and subsequently a complete 'psychotic break'. Before all of this I was a fully capable, grounded, and happy person. I am navigating day by day but feel as though my nervous system is fried. Everything looks HD and fake especially nature and scenery in the distance, which is very disheartening for me as I am an herbalist and would normally seek solace and peace in nature. For a while I had extreme afterimages and halos but those seem to have subsided a bit. It hurts to breathe in through my nose...like everything smells like chemicals. I am very sensitive to sound, lights, even touch. I'm always 'on' like never tired and have been taking benzos to sleep. My brain buzzes, my train of thought is completely out of whack at times, hard to remember things, PTSD, and I have a really dismal perspective on life now whereas before I was a happy little butterfly lol. I am soon to be 29 years old. I've been doing meditation, trauma release exercises, taking magnesium, chamomile, skullcap, hops, passionflower, doing a little dancing (but too much exercise causes my nerves to become inflamed like a sunburn), listening to music (music is like EXTRA fun for me...like a heightened perception of it). If any of you have any suggestions or would just like to share your experience, it would mean everything to me! Big Love Amanda
  5. Would love to hear about your protocol. I've been experiencing HPPD for about 8 months now after my first and only ever trip on LSD.
