Mental Health minor HPPD

[colllideacetoxy]

Hey this is my first thread here on bluelight and I am looking for some advice. I'll start by saying that I know I do not have any mental illness or family history, besides some depression in the past. Ever since my start of using psychedelics I have started feel things aren't the same. Some of it is no problem to me, but I amonth really concerned about is hearing my name being called maybe a few times a week when really Noone is. This happens very often in crowded hallways thinking someone far away hasome shouted my name only to find out nobody has said anything to me. Even last two nights ago I heard a radio scanner and people talking over it when certainly it did not come from the tv. It really startled me. I'm just wondering if anyone has expirenced something similar to me. It's nothing that distracts me from daily life but I want to know if it's a product of my brain or the chemicals I have introduced to my brain. Lsd, mescaline, psilocybin, and 4-aco-dmt. I have had great expirences on all of these substances and they have changed my daily perception in a beneficial matter rather than maybe the auditory hallucinations I belive I have been expirenceing.

Ive been getting this strange auditory effect since my psychedelic use. i notice that when i close my eyes and someone is talking that i cannot tell how close or how far away from me they are. it sounds like they're right next to me then i open my eyes and they're across the room.

Also when i'm stressed out i start to have compulsive repetitive thoughts. usually very strange thoughts of me getting hurt or something that makes me cringe. so i can understand the distraction you are getting cause these thoughts kind of give me the same annoyance.

Ive cut out some of the stress from my life and thats helped alot. i started exercising and since then the thoughts have almost entirely disappeared. and the auditory thing hasn't happened much either. I do 25-30 minutes of aerobic activity(jogging) specifically because this increases brain nerve growth factors and improve mood.

hopefully this helps a bit. it certainly wont hurt to give it a try for a few weeks. Oh and i stay away from all drugs except alcohol every other weekend

I have some lasting effects (visual) many years after taking lots of psychedelics. I must say that I rather enjoy them.

If you are having auditory hallucinations or distortions, listen to more music, actually listen to it though, pick out the instruments focus on the sounds, switch your attention back and forth between the different sounds, also enjoy the music and listen to it as a whole. Do this morning and night.

although it can seem like fun and games, HPPD can turn deadly if it happens when you are driving.
I have had some strong flashbacks and i thank my sheer luck that i wasn't behind the wheel or operating machinery when they came on.

I thought they only come on when you are not distracted with doing something?

lol i've had a strong flashback randomly come on while playing call of duty one time. trippinnnn
And if there is one thing that distracts me fully, it's CoD.
