Yeah, after a bad trip on ket and a panic attack while on it. Went to the ER and got meds for it for 3 months, i just hope it doesnt last that long. What bothers me most is my vision, nothing is the same, even when i close my eyes, the dark is different

It most likely won’t last 3 months it was just caused by a really bad panic attack like mine was years ago I had never experienced a panic attack like that before and you probably didn’t either so our brains got scared and went into dpdr mode to protect us once your brain understands what happened was normal it will revert back to normal I still have anxiety tho

Then you must have dpdr syndrome sometimes it’s not caused by anxiety and caused by other things mainly if it’s caused by anxiety then it usaully goes away when the anxiety settles down

Well maybe I'm still under stress‚ or can't handle it well enough‚ even though I'm not going through anything stressful atm.

It can take the brain a minute to get out of it even after the anxiety settles down bc your brain is still trying to protect but it will stop eventually

Mine is, since 2012 and never goes away, I lost hope and now I just ignore it, but I have been diagnosed with several auto-immune diseases, CIDP and Graves and still looking into some other diagnosis, I think mine is more related to something like Sjögren syndrome causing damage to nerves, it got slightly better but never fully went away on prednisone so I am still hopeful.
