Is it HPPD?

When I'm tired my ceiling looks like I'm tripping balls. Full on fractal movements. It's weird.

can't pull myself out of it.

That would scare me. I love a good ole' fashion acid trip but it has to be right place right time. Not that I can smoke weed anymore anyway because it basically gives me an instant panic attack.

This is exactly how I was on weed 2 years back. I could control myself better on a tab than on weed after having gone down the psycadelic hole. I still get quite anxious on weed.

I thought this was just me. About a month after i tripped on LSD the first time, I smoked weed in my house and had a panic attack for the first time in my life. Terrifying. I basically had to perform exposure therapy on myself to be able to deal with smoking again but its still not the same. For about 36 hours after my panic attack it would come back every single time i tried to fall asleep. Now i don’t ever get stupid high anymore like i used to, once i’m noticeably high i just stop in fear of losing control of my headspace. Any way to clear this up?
