Sorry for the long post.

I’ll start by saying that I know this sub is 18 but I have no clue where else to go as I know my dad is just gonna berate me and none of my friends have experienced anything like this, this is also the substance I believe I got it from, so where else better to go?

(Skip this section if you’re uninterested in the actual trip that lead up to this)

Anyways, I took a tab (200ug) around 4 days ago now, the entire experience felt off. During the come up I felt very sleepy and I was shaking more than I ever do. I also never really experienced a peak and barely any visuals like I usually do. I began to feel almost sober halfway through, but this was almost relieving after a bad trip a month ago. During the comedown I smoked maybe half a j as I usually do just to ease myself back to “reality”, but this time I don’t really think it was needed. I will say the afterglow was much more amazing than any other trip I’ve had, I felt extremely motivated and even started exercising lol (something i never do).

I began to notice I guess something strange that night. Although all visuals seemed to have stopped around 6 hours into my trip, if I looked at my phone screen I could see almost swirling lines of distortion moving text around. I thought maybe the LSD was being persistent in my brain and I just slept it off. I was very wrong.

When I woke up (this is now about 1 and a half days since the tab was taken) I could still very clearly see the distortion I was talking about, along with white lines that covered my vision horizontally. This is when I started to worry and HPPD crossed my mind. I decided to take a shower and calm down cause it was worrying me a little bit. The symptoms stayed the same for that entire day so I just went to bed a little anxious about it.

This is now the (basically) third day after I took the tab and things started to get a little funky. My day immediately started by me hearing my closet door open, but before even looking something about the way it sounded just told me it was in my head and not real, but I still looked anyways and as I expected it was most definitely still closed. This basically told me I 100% have something wrong now, HPPD? Not sure, but definitely something. I continued hearing this door sound for the rest of the day and it really began freaking me out. The text on my phone still seemed to be distorted and I still saw those faint white lines when I looked up. Nothing else changed for the rest of the day.

Now we’ve gotten to today. As i’m typing this it’s been 4 days and 5 hours after I took the tab. When I woke up this morning I immediately noticed that my chapstick looked smaller than it should be on my nightstand. This really freaked me out. It looked almost minuscule and when I picked it up it looked normal but when I put it back down it got small again. This is what really led me to believe I had HPPD as it’s one of the symptoms I read about online. The rest of the symptoms I was experiencing also got worse, with the door sound becoming more frequent and the distortion becoming even greater, making it almost hard to type all this. However the faint white lines seem to be the same as the were when they started on the second day.

As I’m typing this I’m almost scared to go to bed because I don’t want to wake up to another symptom that’s gonna just make me completely lose it. Im already having a hard time dealing with all of this already and needed to get it out somewhere, mostly to look for answers as to what I should do next, but also to just get it off my chest as no one else except the people here may understand what I’m going through.

I’m not looking to be called an idiot either for taking this substance at such a young age, I knew what I was getting into I just didn’t think it would affect me in this way.

I just want to know: does this sound like HPPD? If so, is it likely to be permanent? And if not, what does it sound like to you? And how could I go about getting it treated?
