You only did shrooms once?? Did you use any other drugs??

Hope? I don't hope for me to be able to cope with hppd, i hope for it to go away.

Good post... It seems most of us long term sufferers get over the depression and anxiety after a few years.

Don't underrate the ability to cope, it is a very big step in recovery. There is a chance you will have some form of hppd for life,, so sitting around hoping for a cure is as good as useless.... getting on with your life, however hard, is when you begin to turn things around.

me and u are lucky. we dont really have any reason to worry, apparently its common most cases of hppd can clear up within 6 months to a year. wev had it what, 2 almost 3 months and wer almost back to normal. if we get to a year and we still have it, then we can cross that bridge but right now, we stand a healthy chance, just stay sober and thinking positive

You are right I went to a family bbq and ate so much meat, i barely have any snow, Blue sky! Yay!

I dwell over hppd waaay to much...

I dont blame u man its a big thing. Its part of ur normal life being changed. Today I ate a big mac and had a panic attsck

[John Smith]

hahah why did a big mac give you a panic attack? Big mac guuud and yea mine definitely wouldva gone away pretty quickly and i never woulda gotten dpdr had i not insisted on smokin day in and day out for 5 months post hppd, not to mention the opiates and hard drinking...it was after smoking an e with a friend and gettin reallllly wasted that i noticed everything getting worse. Before that I could be sober for just a week and id notice half of my symptoms really decrease. After this experience, not quite so.

I wonder if my hppd wouldnt have escalated to it's present intensity if i hadn't kept drinking and smoking after my bad trip... Damn ,these thoughts are killing me.

[Jay1]

no point wasting time and energy on shit you can't change.

when those thoughts come up... just go and look at porn until they go away.... porn doesn't make hppd worse, as we have already discussed

[morbide]

Haha Watching hockey world championship right now, Sweden-Czech Republic, 3-3, 6 mins left, no hppd atm ;D

[2muchmandy]

I thought the chemicals or fat would make my visuals worse so i.got a purge of anxiety felt sick and my body went numb. But I was chilled

Morbide I worry that I drank and drugged through warning and didnt know they were warnings. As jay says why worry over what u cant change.

^^^^Eating shitty food definitely has a negative effect on the way I feel. I notice I much bigger difference in the way I feel after I eat fast food than after I eat healthy homeade stuff.

[2muchmandy]

Agreed. I knew I shouldnt have been eting it nd after like 5 mins bam. Body went numb. Paranoid
