I took shrooms two years ago, but now I don't feel human anymore. I am living on the outside of everything, did I go crazy?

You're asking an online forum...after two years? If you can verbalize what you're feeling that well then no, you had a profound experience that made you question some things, you got ridiculously introspective. Don't take the mushrooms so seriously, especially if you feel disconnected from every day reality. Life is one big trip, you gotta ride it, don't take psychedelics again, remember how to love life and others again.

it seems there is a large number of so-called "dormant mental ilnesses" which can become active, or more pronounced, after the use of psychedelics.
http://www.vipassanaforum.net
vipassana meditation, as well as this book http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html
might help you to make you feel better again, more grounded, more calm, more happy.
even if a psychiatrist recommends you to, don't take pharmaceutical drugs unless ur sure it's really the best choice. many doctors and psychiatrists prescribe pills way too quickly, and pills can come with very nasty side effects on their own.
for example anti-depressants are known to make people feel detached. so i'd suggest getting enough movement in life, perhaps a little sports, and perhaps meditation... unless ur symptoms are really extreme then this regime should fix u right up. meditation might take a couple of months worth to start working on full effect though, but it's worth it.
also, if you're feeling bad, don't do anymore drugs. not even weed. they might be making u feel worse.

yeah I was always introspective, now I can imagine myself being introspective and it's not even me, maybe mushrooms might have taken my soul like a spider web, but it didn't happen to other people, just like some bugs can escape from a web. I just had the thought maybe mushrooms are predators and some people like me are their prey. I dont know, I can feel it in my head right now, maybe it has suddenly come to me after a couple years because it was asleep inside me... just makes me confused, this is all a bit silly, maybe you are right that it's better to laugh about it and get on with life

It probably killed your ego, don't worry though it's happened to a lot of people including me.

yeah I can kind of see something like this, I guess it did not suddenly wake up inside me, but as I reach biological adulthood, it is a little more disturbing, like a psychological butterfly effect, the seeds were planted back then and now I see how far it drifted me off what's normal, yeah, the death of ego thing makes sense, I have to read about that and all its implications

You still have an ego obviously , but it's just probably not as full as the one you had before I think.

It's possible it was the shrooms, before i ever did shrooms, i didn't care about anything, was lazy, and had no drive to do anything. Now I am the exact opposite and believe it was a influenced by my experience with shrooms

Maybe the mushroom experience told you or showed you that you were not what you had thought you were--and you interpreted that as meaning you were not anything at all or were alien from all life, etc..
