KeepFighting Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi folks I'm male, 35, had HPPD since 1994 and only found out what it was about 7 years ago. I've suffered in silence for years and never told my family, friends, or even girlfriend of 5 years. Think my HPPD is pretty bad. Took some crazy strong acid aged 14 and had bad visuals, snow ever since. But somehow I've pieced together a normal life. Just wondering, how many people on here function as normal, and what sort of coping mechanisms have you adopted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've had it since I was 14 to, just turned 17 I just don't focus on it and do everything I can to make my life fun and comfortable, sobriety is key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepFighting Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 You'vs just turned 17? I generally stay sober but drink a lot at weekends. Somehow alcohol has always felt like a "safe" drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGman6072 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've also just turned 17 and had it since I was 15. I didn't know what HPPD was for the first 11 months of having it but I highly suspected it was caused by the drugs. I just cope by living my normal life, getting out of the house. My brain automatically just shuts off when I get stressed though so I don't freak out. I either think positive or don't think at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
