i think any of the old timers here can vouche for the statement that after about 4-5 years life pretty much returns to normal, and you can enjoy and live life even with the visuals and other symptoms. last year i had a six month problem with heroin and crack/cocaine, and neither did anything permanent or while on it. i just don't even notice the symptoms anymore. coke, IMO, not telling anyone go blow lines youll be fine, is the number one drug besides opiates and benzos that hppders can do all they want (but shouldnt)

"Party and scream in happiness! No seriously.. I have had HPPD for 5 years now and have got quite used to it, and I can hardly remember what "normal" vision looks like.. So I would probably have some kind of "HPPD withdrawal". Maybe I would have mixed feelings of euphoria and sorrow. But the euphoria would be the winner after a while!" first id like to say hello all the old timers form the old board, its great to see some of these usernames again. but i quote the last post because in november it will be my fifth year with hppd, and I honestly can say it hardly phases me anymore. i have severe hppd, dp/dr, and anxiety/panick, etc you all know the schpeal. but trust me, especially those of you new to living in this, err lets say different mindstate, time WILL HEAL YOU. i hardly think about my visuals or any symptoms anymore, now I just live life and actually enjoy it. no longer do I worry about doing or not doing certain things because it may or may not fuck up my symptoms. and if i do every now n then do something that flares them up, I know what caused it and know it will subside. life DOES GO ON!
