    Welcome Guest!

Too anyone who is having these symptoms

I'd have to disagree about the Cannabis part. If you know what you're getting an Indica strain will set you right the day after a roll.
Don't over do it of course, but calling it stupid is absurd. Especially with all the medical benefits of it.

I think this very dependant on the person. Wouldnt have been my choice the day after a roll I always found once I had rolled I was happier to leave off all drugs and straighten myself out.

I wouldnt call cannabis stupid either but just like any other drug it has its positives and also negatives.
 
so who here has like fully recovered? I just want my sober joy in life back.
 
nice. I really cant wait. I just want to feel that happy go lucky me again. I used to get excited over the simplest things. Now its like im hanging on a thread for any happiness.

Laugh, how long did you have to deal with it? How often have you rolled as well? My last roll was a bit of a heavy dose is what kicked me off.
 
hello claryx. I had HPPD when my comedown first started but the symptoms faded after about 8 months or so. I am still sensitive to light but the fuzzyness in my vision has gone.

I think its very difficult to pin point why some people get these dreadful comedowns and some dont. I suspect a lot of it is down to if you are more prone to anxiety.

In terms of recovery its so hard to know. many people recover after 6 monthsor so. For some of us me included its taking a lot longer.

Whoa, you had HPPD for 8 months! Damn that is crazy. Iv gotten some of the symptoms while rolling. From wiki: "Auras surrounding objects, trails following objects in motion, difficulty distinguishing between colors, apparent shifts in the hue of a given item".

Yeah sure did and some people can have it several years.

A very different experience to the trippyness felt on a normal comedown as in many ways this can be quite amusing and fun.

HPPD is the opposite of fun. Very scary and makes things pretty unpleasant in many ways.

For me the HPPD was mainly interference patterns in bright sunlight. Even now sunlight for me is not pleasant as it seems ultra ultra bright but at least the HPPD interference has faded.
 
for me hppd is like static in my vision ,especially in the dark , its like when a tv is out of tune when you see the little tiny dots fluttering, also i get alot of after images , like if i look at something bright and then i keep on blinking i see it.

reading the last few posts has made me abit sad, because i remember what i use to be like also before all this happened, i really didn't give a fuck about anything and just before it happened my life was basically perfect, now my life consumes of everyday waking up and going to work with this nightmare, i find everyday a struggle.

Today it amazed me how i was having a conversation with someone with my derealization full on , which made everything look weird when i was looking at him and i was thinking as he was talking " he doesn't even know anything is wrong with me , he is looking at me having a full on conversation and seems to think that im just perfectly normal" to be honest sometimes when im having a conversation i feel like im not even there , that im observing what is happening instead of participating in it.

I look at people at work and they don't realise how lucky they have it , to be normal , which i once thought was just the normal way to feel, i never knew these feelings existed, i never knew i could even get into this state of mind or consciousness. I look back on before i had this and i realise how lucky i really had it , im quite a well off boy to be honest , i come from a good family , have been brought up with a silver spoon in my mouth basically as we say in britain (everything on a plate). And i just sometimes get disappointed with myself for doing drugs, i know i knew nothing about all this but it just saddens me to think i could of avoided all this, im in my best years of my life and im having to deal with this shit when i should be out there having the most fun i could have.

Guess i just got to look positive and just give it time ....best of luck to you guys....

I'm in the same boat my friend.. None of the people here at work realizes how shitty I feel everyday trying to put a smile on my face like everything is ok.. It's tough but we gotta just have to toughen it out more.. I do have bad days still and sometimes I can't tell anymore if I am recovering or it's still the same or even worse. Like you I came from a good family and I hate myself for screwing up this bad.. How are you doin with physical activities? What I do most of the days is do extreme workouts up to the point where I am so tired so that I dont notice it as much.
 
^I feel the best when I go for long runs. Its kinda cool that even thought I feel like shit, Im still getting my body in shape. By the time all this crap is out of our head we will be in the best shapes of ours lives.... Gift in disguise if you want to find an optimistic way to look at it?
 
Funny you mentioned that because when I went for a challenge hike with two of my friends I left them behind which means physically I am already healthy and the brain is the only thing left lols
 
Nice! I could use a good challenge hike. too bad where im from there are no good hills. I have to travel up state for anything challenging.
 
We have grouse grind here in vancouver which is suppose to be a mini hike and they built stairs for hikers.. Every mark it gets harder and the further you go up the steeper the rocks/stairs are. I plan to ddo it weekly it's an awesome cardio workout

I'm in between month 3 and 4 of recovery and I have made a significant improvement because I have remained very sober with occasional drinking once in a while. I also exercise and eat right. I know I will recover, but I love weed. When will I be able to smoke again? When I am sober I only feel very minor effects of the comedown/anxiety, like barely noticable. I am thinking by month 5 or 6 I will be able to smoke? What do you guys think?

I tried to drink occasionally as well but everytime I do I tend to over do it and get really drunk so it wasn't good at all. I am doin extreme exercises as well eating healthy etc etc stopped smoking I think you should smoke when you know that you have fully recovered. Some people smoke through recovery and it doesn't affect them but if you know it will affect you don't do it.
 
i go to the gym everday , im really into muscle building so thats fine for me as it takes my mind off of it, but i said to myself today that i would give up an extra month of this shit for ONE day.... just one day were i was completely normal, i feel like im forgetting what normal feels like, its getting better but it just takes so damn long and no one has a clue the problems im going through , the mood swings i have are a joke, i could be so happy one hour then the next im depressed off my ass about it ....
