Yeah, sounds like you're verging on Depersonalization-Derealization symptoms more than HPPD. Jay can probably answer this better than I, but my interpretation of HPPD was that it's mostly visual disturbances: streamers, trails, halos, visual snow, flickering, changes in color, breathing textures and surfaces, closed-eye visuals (CEVs), etc. Lots of people end up getting DP symptoms along with HPPD, and visa versa, so you could be someone who just has more DP than HPPD.

It doesn't sound like hppd (floaters are natural) but I think that is a symptoms of dp/dr ,,,, I often feel like I have vertigo when i walk, especially if I look down at my body. A strange coping mechanism i have is to pinch my arm quite hard when it is at it's worst, it sort of snaps me back into my body. Be careful with Xanax, addictive as hell. Doctors are way too quick to hand them out like candy.... Last thing you want is addiction, withdrawal and anxiety from meds too

Hi Jeffy. Have you considered taking a little break from tripping to see if the symptoms moderate or go away? Hallucinogens can have short term effects like empathy, insight into ones self, or just seeing the world from another viewpoint. Some of these residual feelings can be wonderful as I recall. However, for some of us we get negative symptoms that never go away. Basically I see visuals much of the time. I can't make them go away and I've had this for over 40 years. If you take a break then perhaps you can gauge how things are going up in the cranium.
