    Hello, man, every day I am more convinced that the severity and limitations of hppd depend a lot on our perspective.
    @Cosmiccharlie's words confirm this.
    I am Brazilian and I intend to join ESA, a school of army sergeants, in the area of communication, more specifically in the area of information security.
    You?

    After seeing people on here who have managed to cope in the military with HPPD it has definitely made me feel better. That’s great man hopefully you can achieve this I’m sure you can, as for myself it’s the Marines. I was in last year but got injured and got discharged but I really want to go back. Luckily I think I have a fairly mild case of HPPD compared to a lot of the other ones I hear so I think I still have a chance.

    Good morning friends, I have twenty years and I have hppd for about four years, in addition to the DP / DR that accompanies me from the beginning.
    I'm at the age of deciding which way to go professionally and I'm a little lost.
    I've always had an affection for militarism, both for principles and values and financial stability and I'm thinking of following a career, I know that training is exhausting physically and psychologically, do you think hppd can prevent my training?

    Hi man, I’m in a similar situation, always wanted to join the military and did so last year but suffered an injury a few weeks into training and was medically discharged and I got HPPD after a silly mistake while I was waiting to re-join. 
     

    I have read a few stories of people with HPPD managing to have a career in the military which gives me hope.

    What branch of the military are you interested in joining?

    I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.  If it's any consolation, I made it through submarine service with this condition.  It wasn't easy but if the military is really something you want there's no reason you can't still do it.  Give it time and things will get better, you'll feel like yourself again.  Just take it as a hard lesson and keep on living.  This disorder has taught me a lot about life and myself and even though there were many hard and dark days things eventually turned around.  My advice is to try and not focus on it, justlet your body and mind heal. 

    It’s the only career path I’ve had any interest in so I’m hoping I can still I follow it. It does help to hear that you managed to get through submarine service, gives me hope that I could do the same, I’m still in the early stages of HPPD and i’m only 20 so I have plenty of time on my side. It’s only early but I have been taught a few valuable lessons that I know will help me in the future.

    Same for me man. I was traveling the world and making a pretty decent income. I was also married.

    I divorced (before the HPPD) and that alone was a big hit. I was battling with chronic pain and decided to try "entheogens" to cure it, and ended up with HPPD.

    Now, 7 months after, I feel like I am getting back on my feet. Lamotrigine has been of a great help, along with all the lifestyle changes that people mention here.

    To give you some context:

    So, if losing your spouse takes 18 months of grieving, how much time do you think it takes to grieve the loss of your old self and move on with your new one?

    Sounds like you’ve been through quite a bit man I feel for you. Glad to hear you’re powering on and starting to get back on your feet. 

    I have always wanted to be in the military and last year I worked my ass off and got fit to join. A few weeks into training I suffered an injury and was discharged. I would have to wait a year until I could go back in and I was devastated. Unfortunately while I was waiting to go back in I made a terrible mistake due to my judgement being way off at the time and I took LSD after my mates asked me if I wanted to join them. I had taken drugs before including LSD but had left that life behind sorted myself out but this was almost like I had gone backwards and slipped back into my old self for a day. I got HPPD after this and now all of a sudden my life has just taken a terrible turn. 

    I think in my case my HPPD symptoms are not as bad as many people describe but still bad enough to ruin my career which is causing me a great deal of anxiety and regret.

    I agree at the moment it seems very hard to visualise myself getting used to my new life but all we can do is keep moving forward and hope for the best as well as doing things to help ourselves.

  5. I’m finding it hard not to think in a similar way. Last year I was flying high in life had a great career and everything lined up for me and it’s come to a crashing halt. Don’t think I could ever do something as drastic as killing myself because I have a very loving family and I couldn’t do that to them, but I honestly can’t see myself enjoying life very much in the future seeing the world in pixels and all the other shit symptoms  haha
