Disregard Everything I say

I have fairly intense HPPD which consists only of a super translucent layer of closed eye visuals over everything I see with zero distortions or other effects and so does my entire social circle with varying levels of intensity but always the exact set of effects. At any given time I can only see subtle minor open and closed eye visuals but it generally becomes a full blown visual trip when I’m:

• High
• Falling Asleep
• Dreaming
• Waking Up
• Tired
• Exercising
• Staring into this
• In a dark room

Although I don’t doubt that HPPD can cause anxiety in certain people none of my friends have ever reported any sort of negative effects from it and all of them comment on how incredibly easy it is to see past the visuals and ignore them at any point. Distortions such as flowing textures and breathing walls sure would be annoying but HPPD is purely closed and opened eye visuals for me. The visuals have never once gotten in the way of anything for me and if anything have made my life more enjoyable and interesting. The pleasant but gentle visuals experienced on the come down of an LSD trip is a nice manageable level that I eventually hope my HPPD will build up to.

I’ve been tripping most weekends since last December and occasionally multiple times a week. LSD is what we generally use but we have gone through long periods of time using exclusively mushrooms and on occasions have used pretty much all of the major psychedelics as well as many intense Dissociative trips with MXE and DXM. From what I’ve seen everybody who trips on a regular basis will inevitably experience HPPD but it seems to be down to how stable the individual is when it comes to whether or not they will enjoy it.

Tripping for somebody who has HPPD is not any different for somebody who doesn’t apart from the fact that a person with HPPD finds it much easier to trip hard on a small amount of a substance. Somehow it just seems easier to slip into the mindset and experience intense visuals.
