 Day after a first-time trip

Yesterday I had my first trip on shrooms. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and I have no regrets. However, since I came off the shrooms I have been unbelievably depressed. I know that there is some chemical alteration in the brain that I'm feeling, but I think it goes deeper than that. I "miss" my trip so much I cried when I stopped hallucinating. My emotions are heightened and I am very fragile and tired. I have a sense that something about me has changed now that I have had this experience. I am glad I tripped and I am liking the new "enlightened/calm" me, but I am seriously freaked out because I feel like doing shrooms may have altered my personality. I feel older and wiser, and at the same time I feel like a fragile child. My emotions are either non-existant or very heightened. Today at work I got very depressed and didn't want to talk about anything with my co-workers to the point that they were offended. I want some input on other people's post-trips, particularly first-timers like myself. Do you think doing shrooms changed who you are? If you felt depressed afterwards, how long did the depression last?

i often cry after an acid or shroom trip. it takes a lot out of you. its nothing to worry about, and it should pass after a good nights sleep. i do get depressed after some trips. mostly all of them during the day however.
i think its because at night i am less active, and during the day i am out and about, which makes me tired, and the acid/shrooms make it difficult to go to sleep, which leaves me in a drained, zombie like state. thats my take on it. but i always feel completely mentally and physically drained after a day-trip. its almost like a ritual now for me to shed a tear or two after a good day trip. its not typically because im sad, just because of the state i am in.
hope that helps, and you are not alone 
Edit: i am usually in that "depressed" state for a day or two and then i snap out of it. it is gradual though.
be sure to eat fruits, veggies and nutritious things, as they can help greatly to rejuvinate your mental being.

Everything you do or experience "changes who you are". But one of the things you probably caught a glimpse of with the help of the mushrooms is that "you" is an intangible thing because it is always changing, indefinable. Biochemically, you are not even the same organism from moment to moment.
It doesn't take much at all to change who you are. A thought will do it. So will just sitting there for a second.

Don't worry, you'll eventually get that "Make it stoooooooopp!" trip that'll straighten you out.

he brings up a great point... you got something wonderful from your trip. Even though you may be dealing with some mixed emotions, and are unsure of how you should express these new feelings youre having, it sounds like you had a very rewarding and perhaps enlightening experience..
quit while youre ahead man...

To me that's like saying "OK; You've been mountain biking and you didn't fall and hurt yourself. Quit while you're ahead" You know he wont follow your advice.

ask yourself this question: had you done shrooms without ANY prior knowledge of what they were or what they could do to you, and you ended up having an amazing experience off of them, would you still feel the same you think?

I feel very much like that, the feeling old and wise part...and tearing up during a trip.
I feel like I am more mature than people who are 40 and I'm only 21. Not talkin with your co workers...I do that alot, it's not that I don't want to talk to them, it's more like I don't give a fuck.
Drugs definitely changed me personality wise, I used to be very energetic and happy. Now I'm almost in a semi catatonic state where I think about things so deeply it's like I'm not really there.
And the depression...people say it's just feeling sorry for yourself but it's really not like that at all, most people go through depression and then come out of it...imagine not being able to come out of it, I think MDMA had something to do with that...I would like nothing more than to be happy again.
