before/after hppd

[2muchmandy]

i got this idea from morbides introduction thread in which he posted a picture of him smiling away before hppd hit him. it made me think it would be a good idea to help people get to know everyone and see how hppd has affected people, like what hobbies people all have, how theyv changed since having hppd and if they are able to continue their hobbys and so on or if things have needed to be stopped

heres me out riding happy as can be, probably a bit drunk aswell, a year prior to hppd

i can still ride and i find it very theraputic and takes my mind off my symptoms

[morbide]

I love skiing and it helps me to not think about my hppd at all, lovely hobby. This picture is about 6 months prior to hppd.

Pic relatid: me skiing.

[2muchmandy]

u live in the perfect place to ski! what kind do u do? downhill, cross country or freestyle?

[morbide]

Downhill mostly, though im learning to jump and do some trix, almost shattered my tailbone(?) this winter when i crashlanded after a jump...

[2muchmandy]

aww sweet. ur tailbone healing ok? i minced mine when i used to skate. i bitched up a heelflip and landed straight on my ass. its very painfull

im not good at skiing atal :/

[alice-acid]

seeing as i don't really have many hobbies ): i thought i'd post one of me when im out, with afew mates, as well as J:Kenzo, and Distance

2 fuckin sick djs/producers that i met at once wahaay

this is after i got HPPD, but im still out clubbing, just sober for a change and i still managed to have fun

HPPD doesnt have to take your social life away

i do look ridiculous though

[morbide]

I can't complain, couldn't sit for a while God im getting the itches to ski again, to go up north to the clean air and... the polarbears.

[2muchmandy]

Haha wow sweet meetin em at the same time. I didnt know distance was from over here, I dont mind some of his stuff. Alotof it is a bit too aggressive for me though. I like proper slow deep dubstep like loefah or lx one. Sober raving must be wierd. Iv got congo natty in may, which will be wierd not being md'ed out my tits but good all the same.

As for polarbears morbide if I saw one id die of fear.

[morbide]

Meh , they are not so frightening as long as you get used to them

[nuroeone]

I didnt really have any hobbies before hppd besides playing pc, other then that all i did was rave and drink was generally a mess lol that being said i was quite happy, i lived to party but i was going no where with myself

Now post hppd i have stopped drinking, found a missus, started saving money to travel and am getting healthy so despite all these shitty visual symptoms and strange emotions i feel day to day im a lot happier. I take hppd as both a positive and negative thing would of been great to get clean and wise up before all this because now i see how great life is without substance(drugs)

[nuroeone]

Would getting tattoos count as a hobby? lol coz i love tatts, im working to be fully covered, i love the art!!

[2muchmandy]

Tattoos count id say u got any photos of ur favourites? What did u play on pc?

[Jay1]

I actually can't remember if I had hppd or not at this time, but I look happy and young, so maybe. With my big bro in Cyprus or maybe England (how shite is my memory? ahah)

[morbide]

Lovely picture! I can't wait for the summer to hit Sweden, this time of the year it's just snowy, gray and cold.

[2muchmandy]

Haha man weather where u can confuse the uk with cypress! That doesnt happen often enough. Looks like a nice spot no matter where it is

[alice-acid]

im telling you that isnt the uk too pretty

and yeah it was well good mandy (im gna call u that always haha its easier)

[2muchmandy]

haha my names euan

i agree, i wish where i stayed was that nice. aberdeen is famous for being grey and emitting radiation from the granite, just living here is cancerous :/

[Jay1]

Come and move out to Portugal then.. ;-) .... 330 days of sun per year.

[2muchmandy]

that looks amasing man, sooo nice that. how did it come about u moved over there?

[Jay1]

Went travelling... Fell in love with the country and lifestyle. As I work in web/app design.... I can do it from anywhere... So why not pick paradise

[2muchmandy]

i quite agree, if u can work from home, why make home an ex council flat in a shithole make it somewhere nice

hope i can a job doing similar and bugger off to austria or something in a year or so

[morbide]

@ The jew memorial in Berlin last summer, still a little happy. Mostly hungover, the germans sure know how to party... ~3 months before onset.

[2muchmandy]

yeah man germans are cool, i want to move there or austria. is that a big ass winter hat or a hood in ur display pic? i have a sweet russian winter hat thats similar

[morbide]
