  1. Definitely give meditation a go jay,its literally the one thing that keeps me stable and moving forward in life.Stick with it for a while and it should help greatly,it can take a while for your brain to adapt to a meditative state. One thing to be aware of though is that meditation can increase pineal gland activity and Im aware that your condition is relatively severe so I would encourage you to look into "grounding" techniques to accompany your meditation practice if you decide to start(in reality everyone should but especially those who are already sensitive in that regard).I'm not sure of your beliefs or perspective on the matter but a big factor with HPPD is what is eseentially an overtly expanded conciousness.Lots of people who have tried psychedelics or meditated have experienced this state of "oneness" with the universe but the issue with people like us is that we never fully came back,we are perpetually swimming in a sea of universal expanivesness with a lack of tether to reality or our bodies,thus the feelings of depersonalization,disconnection,anxiety,etc.Grounding is the practice of bringing that consciousness back into the physical plane of reality,just like how a electrical circuit needs a grounding channel otherwise it overloads and dosent have a proper conducting pathway,does that make sense? , This stuff may seem really esoteric and conceptually it just sounds like a bunch of new age jargon but I am confident that if people investigate these avenues of healing they can have some pretty profound breakthroughs.Even fifteen years later I think you may just surprise yourself,take care man.
  2. While I respect your opinion lethargic I definitely think that you need to re-evaluate post like these.HPPD can greatly vary in severity in its visual and cognitive/emotional impairment from person to person,so while you may have reached a point of acceptance or tolerance to the condition there are plenty of people who are far beyond that point. I,like you,have had some very profound breakthroughs/insights with my acceptance of this altered state and have made great progress with my perspective but not a day goes by that I experience deep feelings of regret and sadness because of this.I meditate,eat well,keep myself busy and do all the stuff that can make this whole thing easier but at the end of the day I still can't read a book like I used to,I can barely hold a conversation or maintain relationships,and my vision is so messed up life is one big blur most of time,I make a very strong effort to get what joy I can but at this point I'm essentially just surviving and waiting for my time on this earth to end. I don't intend to make this a personal sob story,and I definitely understand the intention of your message,but posts like these can be belittling and disheartening to people who have it worse then you,just food for thought.
