Hi. I have lived with HPPD for 41 years and am OK You will be too, I promise In the beginning it is hell - especially when no one believes you - but you will overcome it and there will be days, then weeks, then months - when you don't even notice you have the symptoms! The good and interesting things in life seem to take over - and all becomes 'normal' again I am aware I still have trailers and afterimages - but the mind gets sort of used to it Be strong - you'll get there
Just no more drugs though!
