I'm surprised anything helped you with visual snow. My visual snow never gets better (just worse in dark areas and climates). Well I'm glad that it helped you!!

Complete abstinence from such things lol. However alcohol I'm okay with. In fact alcohol seems to help me a bunch. Alcohol seems to be very effective on anxiety.

However alcohol I'm okay with. In fact alcohol seems to help me a bunch. Alcohol seems to be very effective on anxiety. I became QUITE the drinker after I developed HPPD. I was even starting to drink a bit too much before that because the guy I was with at the time was basically an alcoholic and would start drinking beer like at 11 am! But I drank with him anyway. Every minute I was at his house, and I was there a lot especially because living at home SUCKED. I had a job but when I was off work I always hung out with him and drank and smoked pot. He was basically the one who introduced me to LSD. I was 19 at the time. We used to trip almost every weekend. Then drink tons of beer and smoke loads of pot to come down. My poor brain I got HPPD in August of 1998. I was a couple months away from turning 20 and I worked at a bank as a teller. I ended up losing my job because I couldn’t think straight and I couldn’t balance my drawer. After I got HPPD, I drank a lot because it was the only way to get my mind off of it and not be completely freaked 24/7. I was ok when I was inebriated but the next day my HPPD would be worse. I guess from the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg that would trip me out! (The Blizzard.) ugh! I haven’t drank alcohol in 7 years and I feel so much better. When you close your eyes during the blizzards (I’m just gonna call hem that) is it just pure white behind your eyelids? I can’t even imagine I hate this shit.

"The blizzard" that is a unique new name for symptoms.. Congratulations for your sobriety, amazing! Yeahh when I close my eyes at times it's "realms beyond comprehension".. generally torturous phenomina.. Something I'd like to share more about sometime soon.

Jay1 Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Ah yea, i feel like i get the blizzard too, occasionally... If I am focused on one point for too long, my entire visual field just becomes visual snow and strobing (though green/blue colour, for me). I remember it happening when I was looking at my cat once and, after about 20 seconds, all I could see was the cat's eyes in a blizzard of noise. I get it a lot watching tv, but luckily not an every day thing like the normal VS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love snow and winter, but that's a different kind of blizzard I especially get this visual static at night. I am struggling to remember how I saw things BEFORE I got HPPD... but I seem to vaguely recall still seeing some form of static. It all feels very "natural" to me now after all of this time... it's almost hard to imagine not seeing it. Some interesting observations I've made is that staring at a light source aggravates it, almost saturates it, analogous in a way to how staring at something very bright and then moving ones eyes away from that source leaves after images. The static seems to me like a more generalized version of that phenomenon. In this connection I have a feeling staring at the screen for example, in a dark context, for prolonged periods of time (as I am doing now) has an impact, although on the other hand being outdoors for long almost regulates and diminishes it. I'm sure there are very linear, causal explanations for what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t feel well, was hot, tired wanted to take a nap so I took some NyQuil hoping it would knock me out. Instead I woke up feeling HORRIBLE, HPPD off the charts. I freaked out and called my mom and she came over. I was looking at her and my vision was literally nothing but snow and her face. I’ve never felt so terrified in my entire life!
