26 years long BAD TRIP

[Kleine]

Hello I have been on the trip from hell for 26 years I experience visual hallucinations as well as extreme paranoia delusions such as the TV people are reading my mind or the dog is trying to communicate with me and the constant feeling of being watched I am completely open and honest about my symptoms I seek the truth I am tired of mind games and people deliberately trying to confuse me with deception

Hi!

This sounds more like Schizophrenia than HPPD. Did you seek medical treatment?

[Kleine]

Yes are you a doctor

[Kleine]

Before calling other people out, fill us in on your drug use so we have a better understanding of your situation.

I would not be on this forum if I did not know what hppd is mu addiction specialist psychiatrist diagnosed me if I was truly schizophrenic I would not be on this forum before telling me I don't know what I'm talking about do some research on hppd and how it triggers other psychotic disorders remove me from this website all my data I am not going to participate in amateur hour do you think I am who? This is the business of nonchalance

No I‘m not a doctor. As most people here, I‘m just someone who used LSD and have HPPD (in my case mild one, fortunately). I don‘t know you and didn‘t make any assumptions on you, I just told my opinion that your symptoms do not sound like you have (only) HPPD because HPPD does not usually include feelings of being watched or your mind being read.

I‘m not here to fight with you. Feel free to ignore me if you think I don‘t have the expertise to help you. As everyone here, I can just provide ideas. Some are may helpful, others won’t be. But in the end you have to find your own way.

This was very sad to read, 100% a case of schizo, I hope he gets help. Catching and medicating it early can save a life.. I was misdiagnosed with shizo when first explaining my symptoms (none of them were like his trust me lol) and one thing shizos do is not admit there schizo (when they told me I was I trusted them and thought they knew). Mind reading and tv communicating are 100% symptoms of schizo... Very sad to see

Everyone's wiring is a little different.  The introduction of psychedelics can change how the brain works in everyone differently.  If someone is having symptoms similar to schizophrenia after dosing, I think we should take it at face value (I realize the initial post didn't mention dosing).  People come here for advice , information, support,  etc. myself included.  It doesn't take much to scare a vulnerable person away.  Being a little gentle, especially in the "introduction" forum, can go a long way.  

I apologize if this sounded like a rant.
