Burnout

I started smoking pot pretty constantly about 3 years ago. I got kinda bored of it so I started doing a lot of acid and shrooms... a fair amount. I really regret this because I cant have a social life anymore. I cant follow conversations... I always feel like everyone is judging me... Ive isolated myself because of how weird I was around people. Now I just feel all alone in a cave or something.. I wanna have a girlfriend again. Maybe get married and have kids someday. If I completely stop doing drugs will my life turn around? Will the burnout go away? Will I be able to think clearly again?

Yes. Stop doing drugs, join a church, get a hobby and take up exercise
Would take yourself completely out of the drugs scene including leave Shroomery

Yes. But you need to make an effort to make and maintain a good social life . If in question, take action!

Yeah man you'll be OK. You just need to take a big change and a very long or permanent break.
Start focusing on your diet and getting more exercise. Also, as HarryL said, getting a NON-drug related hobby you can really get into will really help.
Also, don't continue to do things or look things up that will remind you of the culture or the things you miss about drugs.
It's entirely possible to reintegrate back to "normalcy"
Also I would suggest taking supplements, specifically a multivitamin and a Racetam, like Aniracetam and Piracetam. I've been taking Piracetam for 3 years+ now regularly and have noticed a DRASTIC increase in cognition and clarity of mind and thought. [I've been high the past 10 years of my life straight, and the Piracetam really has helped with the "burnout"]

Iv seen plenty of people give up drugs for religion, and let me tell you they always came out the other end more confused and messed up.
Everyone else has sound advice tho, good luck finding what you are looking for brother, drugs are not for everyone.

I suggest you go to see a really good Psychologist that will help you through your issues and/or doing Gestalt therapy. I've seen both of these work really well for a friend of mine. Also my Ex-Husband was a Psychologist and it really helps you to confront your issues and deal with them in a safe environment. Because if you ignore those issues and push them to the back they will eventually come out and fuck up your life again.

Agreed, joining a church won't do anything but put you around some pretty ignorant people. Find a way to get yourself out of the drug culture and try to stay away from it until you think you are better. Good luck my friend.

Joining a religion is just changing what's causing you problems, not solving them. Ever notice that lots of people say they "found God" and were cured of their addictions?
Anyways, you are not finished, man! You are in a lull, but you have all the abilities at your disposal to pick yourself back up and direct your life towards any goal you want. It might take some time, but if you follow these other people's advice on changing habits and maybe looking for help along with actively changing your life you will succeed!
What you are experiencing is something everyone goes through(maybe in a different way haha), and you can always turn your life around.

The shroomery is a good place to discuss your issues. We are always here to help
