  1. Thanks for your kind words, and you believe this of it exists with other conditions such as derealisation etc? I feel I cope well and lead a good life, just having a wobble so to speak!!!
  2. Just a quick question from your experience from here and others? If say you had a chronic form of both, not massively overbearing, but noticible - are you still able to live an okay life? To be able to lead an good life? I suffer from both I believe and just wanted to know if it's possible to do so. I know it seems a strange question! Any help would be great.
  3. Tings will get better mate, they always do. We all get really really low points, andy when you're stuck in the moment, it feels like the end of the world, have faith mate, it WILL get better, go to the docs tomorrow or something, have a chat.
  4. Thanks for the advice, I have GAD, obsessional thinking, and suffer from derealisation. Like I said I got these symptoms after very low use speed, and then a big panic attack where I thought I was dying and the anxiety and derealisation came on a couple of days later. I noticed my vision had got weird after the derealisation, things seemed foggy, fluorescent lights hurt my eyes, and my anxiety was through the roof 24/7, it was really hard, but I'm still here. After this I did notice my vision was off, especially at night, more prominent tracers, and neon stereos etc hurt my eyes, but I guess since then I haven't really worried about my vision at all, and I only notice my vision 'going noticeably off' when my anxiety/dr is high, and I guess there comes the question....is it the dr/anxiety causing these issues, or could it be HPPD? I mean can anxiety/dr itself, cause symptoms like HPPD? Since thinking I have HPPD my anxiety has increased I and my vision has gotten worse and I'm in a bit of a vicious cycle...does this sound like HPPD, or like you said probably the anxiety/dr? I mean if I had HPPD even if quite mild, would I have been able to just not to notice it really for 10 years! Or would it be extremely obvious? I seem to latch on to illnesses and obsess, I know for the past 10 years I haven't really been bothered by my vision, it's off, but I don't see things move, breath, or have noticeable static, or anything like that, I mean bright patterns on shirts and dots close together sometimes hurt my eyes etc...but that's about it. I am also hyper sensitive and I'm always checking things and worrying about having schizophrenia, seeing/hearing things, but I can honestly say I haven't ever truly hallucinated. Thanks for your long and detailed post, you seem very knowledgable and helpful. Also are there people on here that cope with this illness and can lead okay lives? I guess a forum maybe isn't the best indication because most people are after help. Thanks again
  5. Thanks people, I just wanted to add my main panic attack that caused all this anxiety etc was from taking speed and thinking I was dying (no hallucinations or anything) I only did it a couple of times, does that change things or do you still think its likely not HPPD?
  6. Hi Guys, I just wanted to ask for some advice; I suffer from pretty bad anxiety/derealisation at times, I got this after a panic attack 15 years ago! What I have noticed is when these conditions get worse/bad my vision gets affected slightly, and that is why I am here. I suffer from slight tracers, very barely noticeable visual snow (I think when looking at the sky, or dark objects, or just turning the lights off) and floaters…after ‘Googling’ these I have ended up here – asking myself do I maybe have HPPD, or is this maybe just normal? Is HPPD more prominent than this, and am I just being hyper sensitive and worrying? I just wanted to add I have never done any Hallucinogenic drugs, but have read that some people can get this from just cannabis…which I have tried and had a bad reaction to on a couple of occasions (Again 15 years ago), I freaked out and had bad derealisation with visual tracers (From taking too much) this lasted a couple of hours but I was fine the next day, and I know for 110% the cannabis was normal, nothing added etc. - So what do you think, does it sound like HPPD, or just maybe the anxiety/derealisation? Is HPPD much more? - And is it true about being able to get this from standard cannabis (From your experiences?) Thanks All Gaz
