HPPD tho
from wikipedia:
HPPD is distinct from flashbacks by reason of its relative permanence; while flashbacks are transient, HPPD is persistent.
HPPD is a DSM-IV diagnosis with diagnostic code 292.89.are flashbacks in the DSM-IV? Not to my knowledge
edit: also does this sound like a full blown 'tripping again crash a car and kill a guy' kind of flashback (wiki recognizes HPPD as what most people consider flashbacks): "There are a number of perceptual changes that can accompany HPPD. Typical symptoms of the disorder include: halos surrounding objects, trails following objects in motion, difficulty distinguishing between colors, apparent shifts in the hue of a given item, the illusion of movement in a static setting, air assuming a grainy or textured quality (visual snow or static, by popular description), distortions in the dimensions of a perceived object, and a heightened awareness of floaters. The visual alterations experienced by those with HPPD are not homogeneous and there appear to be individual differences in both the number and intensity of symptoms."?
whooooooop deee fuckin dooo halos, trails, color issues, and other visual/sensory distortions! Granted if such a thing happened you probably wouldnt want to be driving a car or doing anything labor intensive but still its not like BAM all of a sudden you are fucking tripping again. Which is why I dont believe in 'flashbacks' as the common perception of them is concerned. I experience this HPPD or whatever (this is the first time I've ever seen it given a bona fide medically accepted description though) on a fairly regular basis, but especially so cause I did mescaline twice in the last month, and that whole mescaline reality doesnt really... go away after you stop tripping in earnest for a while.
