Ive been affected by hppd for probably just over a year and a half now..my onset happeni=ed after popping exctacy ....I was on the previous message board before it got shut down, and people if this disorder is new to you ...TRUST ME IT GETS BETTER AND BEARABLE...I still have all th visuals such as static floaters trails after images..but dealig with dp dr has gotten so much better..since having hppd I have not took any medications and still cotinue to smoke and drink..smoke ciggerattes that is , not weed. I did one time smoke weed about a year ago and that flared my symptoms like nobodys business..and also i popped extacy once aswell but that ddint do much to affect it , the main reason why im posting today is becuase i kinda wanna share this as a success story an shed some light..becuase since then i have got a new job in sales that i love..met new peopl..and also have started dating the msot beautiful girlfriend for a year now...I wouldnt say im 100% cured, heck im prolly not even 50% cured...but i have learned to cope with it very well and for the msot part i forget about hppd and jsut live life normally..and still do the things i didn bfore this bullshit..i still go clubbing, drinking, play sports, work out, eat a ton lol, and socalize with friends...the main reason i havent posted here before is cuz i just wanted to forget but i know how it felt int he beggening when i was so lonely and scared but for you people who are new to this please be calm and patient and i PROMISE it does get better!!! feel free to inbox me or w.e but i dont knwo how often ill check this.
