  1. Hey, I know I won’t have all of the answers to your questions and I really don’t have any scientific knowledge of how eye floaters work. But anyways I’m here to tell you my own story and maybe give some advice. I am certain now that I at one point and still do have some sort of HPPD. I think i’ve got through the worst of it but I know I haven’t fully recovered. I don’t know if you took any psychedelics, but in my case I did. I’m only 17 and this really took a toll on me. It all started when I did acid. Now I don’t know at all if it was legit or not but I began to experience all of the signs of HPPD in the coming weeks and months to follow. One of the major signs I noticed was the eye floaters (along with the depersonalization and crippling depression that came along with it). I’m gonna be honest the eye floaters haven’t gone away and I first noticed them about 6-7 months ago. What I will say is that they have gotten a little better in the fact that I don’t notice them as often and they don’t show as clearly as they did before. Trust me when I say it will get a little better. I had the same problems you did like seeing them even when I closed my eyes and it really started to freak me out. What i would say is that you probably shouldn’t take anymore psychedelics for a while or weed if that’s what u think has caused it. Now i’m a very nervous and anxious person and I think that’s another thing you have to think about when you keep noticing the floaters. I know it’s hard but you need to just start ignoring them as best you can. I know for a fact that I noticed them a lot more when I wasn’t doing anything else and i wasn’t busy or focused on anything. Keep busy and try not to notice them. I used to just be sitting forever watching and playing around with the floaters in my view (don’t do that). Sometimes I could focus on them well in the light and see the perfect outlines of what they looked like and this only made me more anxious. I would look up stuff online and see that it wasn’t going to get any better or that some people only saw them when looking at bright lights or walls. I saw them everywhere in any lighting. Another thing to take into account is that they are more common for those that are near sighted or at least that’s what i’ve read. When visiting the eye doctor before this I was told that one of my eyes was becoming more near sighted but didn’t need glasses. I haven’t been there since and probably won’t be for a while because of this covid nonsense, but since then I can surely say that I need glasses and have become a lot more near sighted. I don’t know if this is the case for you but it’s just a thought. If you’ve done psychedelics and think your having these problems don’t worry too much. I feel like the best times I had when having the full force of the HPPD and eye floaters was finding a reassuring post or information that made it seem like it wouldn’t be so bad. I’m not saying everything is going to go back to normal and I still don’t feel the same since when i did it. What I am saying is that it will get better eventually for now just don’t worry about it too much, it will only make things worse. Take a deep breath and chill out. Do some things you enjoy and that make you feel better. I noticed that when i worked out and lifted I felt a lot better. Maybe try exercising more often to see if it helps you at all. All i know is that laying around and being sad, nonproductive, worrying, and thinking that it’s the end of the world will only make it worse. Trust me I hated life for about 4-5 months and I never felt like it would get better, but here I am and i know things are getting better. I really isolated myself and didn’t have any outreach to friends or family about what i was going through but i made it. This is all I really have for you, I could go on for hours and hours typing about what it was like and I gladly would. Let me know if you found any of this helpful or if you have any questions. I hope I helped even if it was just a little bit.
