 NIGHTMARE trip - bad effects 7 months later - help

Hey everyone I've been having issues both physically and mentally over 7 months after I tripped on 4 grams of shrooms for my first time. Sorry if it's a lengthy post but I'm scared for my own sanity.
In february I was at my girlfriend's dorm in Oregon. We ended up buying 8 grams total of these shrooms that were brown and skinny and had closed caps. (sorry I can't identify which ones they are). Later the next morning at about 10 am we both took them at the same time. I ate mine all at once. She took hers in a tea.
Everything was going fine, I was really enjoying them. I laid back in her bed and looked at random things on her wall. I was watching fonts slowly change and morph. We were both having an awesome time on them... Things started to go downhill once some people walked in to meet me (bad time for that lol) because I haven't been to her campus before. Anyways I was started to feel confused and anxious. I was talking to this other guy who was in the room and he handed me a pipe. I wanted to take a few hits to calm me down except once the pipe was in my hand it was the strangest thing, it was like my body refused to lift the pipe to my mouth and take a hit. I knew something was wrong because I've never lost the ability of such a minor motor function such as that.
After he left the room a few more people came in. This is 15 min after that guy. At this point Im really tripping hard. Things are becoming overwhelming and I started to feel helpless. So helpless I almost felt like I was an infant and the world was just running like clockwork all around me and I was helpless to it and had no influence on it. (again sorry if nobody can relate to my analogies, they just randomly make sense to me...)
I then started to trip bad. I was panicking. Her friends left the room right after I threw up the shrooms into the nearest trash can. I was clenching my own body very hard, rolling around mumbling nonsense. Apparently I was begging for help. I couldn't communicate my thoughts, I had NO physical control of my body.
In my mind I saw every relative I knew walk into the room and look at me rolling around on her floor, helpless. I'm not sure what made me see them but I did.
It felt like it went on for 8 hours. At the end I was talking to god. Eerything felt poetic and uplifting.... It was my girlfriend, crying, begging me to come out of it. And then it all ended very suddenly, I came out of the trip. My nerves were shot. I still had limited motor control. But it felt
like my life just hit the reboot button.
After my trip I couldn't really feel anything. This is the best way I can describe it: when I touch something, there's a significant delay before my brain picks up the signal. And 3 times since that trip, it's happened. But only when I smoke pot. The latest time being last night. And it was severe enough this morning when I woke up I needed to share what happened and see if there is ANY way I could fix it. That's the one problem that's really bugging me. Other than that I an live with the changes on how I percieve a lot of things including life itself and how surreal it is.
But today I can't even do my job. It's difficult for my fingers to type this post because I can't get a feel for the keyboard. It feels weird to eat. I can't share it with my family and my girlfriend thinks I'm exaggerating. I don't want people I know to think I'm crazy but I don't want to live with this.
TLDR: read last 2 paragraphs.
Thanks in advance for the feedback... I haven't talked to anyone about this so I have no one to relate to for these experiences.

Does this have anything to do with neurotoxins? I can't find any information regarding people who have tripped like this and then their nerves went shot and don't function.
Btw my sense of vision is still fine. No visuals even though this nerve problem came back

Though I cannot say for certain, as you are not me, and I am not you, however, I found that since the day I first tried mushrooms my whole perception was drastically changed: from the way I feel things, to the way I understand things, to the way I hear things, to the conclusions I draw, to the things I create. In short, you may have "lost" your sense of touch, but that doesn't mean you can't "find" it... Psychedelics change things, and it takes some time getting used to.
If somebody asked me, "of everything you've learned from psychedelics, how could you express that in one word?" I would reply with "embrace".

Sounds like you had a pretty traumatizing mushroom experience having to deal with unfamiliar people in that strange situation, although I am pretty new to this myself it sounds to me like you need a healing experience.
Taking a smaller dose in tea would help with the nausea, take your girlfriend to some secluded beach or park and have a great time.
Set and setting is important to having an enjoyable trip and from what ive read up most bad trips are due to undesirable company.

Most "bad" trips are unavoidable, in my opinion. Bad trips should be renamed learning experiences. Much like mistakes, a bad trip is completely necessary for further growth. To think you can avoid a "bad" trip is like living a life without mistakes: impossible. Instead of terming a trip as "bad" learn to embrace the experience for what it is, not what you expected it to be.

Sounds like it could be a post traumatic stress thing. Making an appointment with a doctor/counselor to check out the possibility might not be a bad idea?

the delayed sense perception thing sounds very strange to me (except while smoking pot). Being sober and having such strong delayed sense perception that you have trouble typing is something that I have never read being associated with tripping (and I've read tens of thousands of posts of people talking about their experiences).
Did you experience this phenomena while you were tripping, or did it only start after?
Are you experiencing any kind of panic attacks?
does this description of depersonalization seem familiar to you?
Stop smoking pot for a while since it exacerbates things, take it easy and you'll be back to 'normal' soon.

you came back with too much of a bludgoning impact on your mind and are stressed out. forget about your bad trip and move on... or seek professional help or help from trusted sources.
