illusory motion in a stationary image

[Hppd13]

Hello does anyone have illusory motion in a stationary image ?

Hello, I have this symptom and have for a while.  The intensity varies with my state of mind.

Thank you for having answered me, it is a symptom hppd? How to name this symptom?

My visuals definitely have motion especially if I focus on them (which I try not to do).  For example if I look at a something that's seemingly random (like a concrete sidewalk)  the tiny variation in color or tiny imperfections immediately look like patterns as if some artist had laid out the pattern on purpose.  If I stare, the patters become more complex and start to shift and move.

Is there a specific name for what I experience?  I have no idea, they're just my "visuals".

I didn't answer your question, but from what I've read in this forum, it's common in those of us with hppd.

I feel like I’m the only one with this problem. No one in the group is talking about this problem.
I think this symptom is neurological. In the visual cortex V5. My doctor wants to try Tms on the Visual cortex

I think the fact that you're working with medical professionals is a wise course of action.  You never know, it's possible what you're experiencing can be diagnosed and treated.  I wish I had done that when I was younger, but at the time there was such a stigma associated with psychedelics it really wasn't possible.  I wish you the best getting some help from the medical community.  Please keep posting to let us know how you're doing.  it may help others with similar symptoms.

Hang in there and take care.
