Taking Acid while depressed/suicidal.
    #19263775 - 12/12/13 12:20 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello everyone.

After few LSD trips in past I am preparing for one more.
Wanted to ask if anyone with suicidal thoughts have done it? I know that such a dark thoughts can throw one into pretty dark/bad trip (which in my opinion is not that bad, just harder to go through). OTOH, if one is about to end his life, there is nothing much to lose. I already had one acid trip with really low dose (like 1/4th of tab that is advertised as 225u, but I am sensitive to LSD) while living with these thoughts. I tried not to think about it while tripping, but I understood I should let it go, so I kind of confronted myself and had a conversation with myself, in which I told myself that choice is choice, and if I decide it, nothing can stop me. Also I remember this one moment where "my soul(?)" told: "It's hard to have a body".
Anyway, later today I am doing 225u (can't be sure, but I believe it should be around that) trip, and most likely will update this thread with report.
It would be nice if anyone with similar experience could add something to this topic.
Thanks. :smile:

Like you said, you're in a state with not much to lose. Most people will probably advise you to stay on the safe side regardless as there is of course plenty of potential for things to go 'bad' but I'm one for affirmative action. Go for it, search for answers and come back stronger.

Last night I couldn't sleep, was over-thinking stuff, then I thought..man, I am going on a trip with Lucy tomorrow, so maybe that will change things enough for me, so let's think about bad stuff the day after. :smile:

I have to add to this post, growing up I ate acid all the time, why idk because I always thought of death and people around me dying, I very seldom had good trips, but all my friends did it and it was cheap.
I am in my mid 30s now and, now you all are going to think I am crazy, but I think the Indians may have been right, you do get visions of the future, well it prob. Was more coincidence then anything else but I have to tell you all this, by the time I was twenty I had lost 2best friends, and by the time I was 29 I lost my wife!
I know the Indians weren't eating acid but I got the same feeling off of mushrooms, and guess what a few months ago I decided to eat some mushies by myself(beleive me I was scared but had heard of people using mm for depression)
and all of those thoughts did not appear, I actually enjoyed the fuck out of it! So take it with a grain of salt but it has been 7 years since she passed and this is the ONLY thing that has helped me come to grips with her loss!
Maybe this will pull you out of it as it did me! Then again maybe not I don't want to be responsible if you do do something stupid, I am just relaying my exp.

Oh, man, I am really sorry for your loss. I am glad you got through it. When I was like 4 I woke up in middle of night, told - "Infinity is a number known only by dead" and passed out, scared the hell out of mom. Now that you say, yeah, I've been into dark stuff since like 14, saw a vision of my funeral and things like that.
Thanks for sharing your story, and one more time, I express condolences to you.

i think it would have a greater tendency to help you than hurt you...as someone who falls under dark suicidal thoughts more often than not these days, i think being sober is more dangerous.

and i totally agree that it is very difficult living in a body. i am 27 and have developed a serious physical condition that completely debilitates me. i could sit around and get spun all day if i wanted to, but i choose not to because i know it would be difficult not to focus on the physical pain, and the physical pain would distract me from the lsd experience.

i am waiting until my body is fully reconditioned before i take advantage of the privilege of being able to enjoy high mic'd squeaky clean LSD  :smile:

Maybe you shouldn't do it alone, a good friend of mine committed suicide while he was on acid. Another friend of mine tried but luckily someone else went to check up on him and found him crying with his loaded gun out. Not trying to be a downer or anything, but it might be good to just stay away from guns and dangerous things in general. <3

Can't ignore the fact that psychedelics will amplify any pre-existing elements of your mind - i'd avoid psychs in such a mindstate.

This is a tough one because trips can actually give you suicidal thoughts even if you don't have them sober/normally. I would suggest you become more active helping others, there are people out there that have it much worse than you or I. Helping others would be a positive experience for them and yourself. By helping others i'm not talking about family or friends either.

You can trip if you want to, but I don't think you're in the right frame of mind going into this trip. Mindfuck can leave one picking himself apart, it's happened to me many times (too many actually). Whatever you decide I hope you cheer up and start enjoying life again.

good vibes man :mushroom2:

I took like 12 hits of bomb liquid the day after getting sent to a mental hospital for being suicidal.  I was gonna kill myself but I wanted one last good trip.  That trip saved my life...... It's a gamble, but it could go really well or really bad....

I tend to get fucked up impulses to do stupid shit on LSD.  Doing it while suicidal would probably give me the balls to just up and off myself, so I personally thinks it's a terrible idea to ingest LSD when you know you're in a dark place, unless the goal is to give yourself the impetus to snuff it.  Also, I tend to be irritable and in a weird headspace the few days after an acid trip so adding that to depression would be a bad idea.   

If you want a transformative psychedelic experience while clinically depressed, take a heroic dose of psilocybin and lay alone in the dark in a safe room, by the time it hits you'll be so catatonic you wouldn't be able to off yourself even if you wanted to, and the resulting trip will likely make you reappraise your life and see the wonder again.  I always feel like a million bucks the next day after a shroom trip, even the worst "bad trip" reaffirms life and makes me want to be a better person.  YMMV. :shrug:

So basically you wanna die and now you are worried about having a bad trip? I think you have bigger problems  :facepalm3:

I never know what to think when people tell me they are suicidal.

Is it a power pill, i.e. 'listen to me very closely because I have a hostage, I am ready to kill myself'

Holding people hostage sucks.
On the other hand my brother borrowed my old Cadillac and killed himself sitting in it while it was running in his garage.

some favor?

anyway, I vote no, don't take this sacrament while you indulge suicidal hostage bullshit.

I loved my brother, but I could not really trust him I guess. Maybe this is not about you.

I don't understand how people can get to the point to off themselves on LSD.
Even if you're really depressed/suicidal..The chemical produces such a great physical feeling, it's hard to stay negative IMO..:shrug:

And mentally it seems a lot more clear-minded than mushrooms...I think you're gonna be fine op and this trip can transform the shittiness you feel.

Hey, I am sorry, couldn't reply any faster, tried to type from phone, but fingers were so frozen, that I gave up.

I had pretty mild trip, I actually tried to get myself into all these thoughts, to see what comes out. But it didn't work, so I didn't force the trip into anything, just let it run. (Still having some green flashes in front of eyes). I can't really say I changed my mind, but I'll see if I can so something about financial situation before I get evicted. If I don't, well, time will tell.

Thanks everyone for input, points taken, I am sorry if someone found my question not proper for this board, I promise not to talk about it in future. Once again, thanks to everyone, and I wish you all nice day/lives/trips/vibes.

Doesn't sound like the best idea to me OP. It's hard to say though. Everyone has their path and yours is not mine to dictate. If you do dose, I would suggest being with a trusted friend when you do.

I could see how a psychedelic dose could be really beneficial for depression, but I see a huge risk. Bad trips can really go out of hand once a person enters the "I want this to end but I can't, I'll be like this for hours, if it ever ends." point, and suicidal tendencies would amplify this IMO. IF you decide to take them anyway, please have a trusted sitter and provide yourself the most comfortable mindset possible in your opinion.

There are people who care about you like me and I don't even l know you, but look at what you did for me last night you offered me condolences and made me feel better, get help please,  I can't bear the thought of you sitting In the dark and cold, there are places to go and people to talk with please take my advice, I have enough problems and know I am sitting in this warm house worried about you!  Don't do anything stupid go to a shelter or something get around some people please, beleive it or not you can be pulled out of the mess you are in, please this is what I want for Christmas is for you to feel better, would you try and make it come true!

Hey, Cc1, thank you for your kind words, made me feel better, even if I haven't slept for more than a 25 hours. I can't promise anything, but I can say I am pretty cowardly, so there is a huge chance I will just continue to struggle through this life somehow. (Actually I'd say I am mentally ill, but then again, I am not a doctor). I'll see what I can do, I'll try. One more time, huge thanks, I hope you'll be fine and safe too.

All they'll do for him is drug him up on anti-depressants witch in my opinion are no bueno.

But to the OP try a high dose of shrooms with someone to watch you I think the shroomies will let you investigate your depression or take some dmt.

I agree about benzos, had some experience with benzo/painkiller abuse, like 6 years ago. Nightmare. I've had some nice DMT experiences (incl. breakthrough last year, but I guess it was wrong timing, cause I had problems back then as well). I am pretty sure no substance will do anything if me, myself doesn't work together, to do it. Of course, some herb would be nice in evening, but being broke is what it is. Had last acid tab, so now I must be sober. I don't know..I guess I must go to sleep asap, I am getting dull.
Thank you for suggestion though, if I'll get out of this all, I hopefully will be able to try shrooms, never had any.

Odd, I have never done any DMT, to me mushrooms are a powerful but way shorter trip than acid! I hope you sleep well and please, as you said yourself, you think you have mental issues, go check into the psych ward, really it is warm, there are people to talk to and they feed you nothing else is required, I got put there because I went nuts on bath salts, and to be honest they treated me well, the biggest bummer was no smoking! Please considèr it as I am really worried about you!

Very good point, a dose of mushrooms or DMT could definitely allow some serious soul searching without the 12 hours of dedication. If a bad trip happens, it'll end sooner than on acid...

It's a gamble. It could be the sun that breaks the cloud in your mind, to bring you into the light and help you to find a new outlook on life, but it may also exacerbate your current state and land you in a worse place than you were to begin with.

Some time has passed and I guess it didn't change anything.
Can't tell anyone IRL, so I'll leave my thoughts here. How do I feel? Scared, I guess. But also good in some way. No worries and cares anymore. I looked at sun today, while walking in nature. As I started to stare at it, I got this sense of "tripping". Both visual and thought wise. So yeah, I guess I wanted to say - grasp more of the natures beauty. Stop, just to look at all these things, that are special. Look up to the sky, look on the grass. It's beautiful. :smile: also wanted to say - happy holidays, dear Shroomery members. Even tho this is forum, I feel somehow connected to you, people. Be nice to each other. :smile: That's it, I am not any good with words, sorry. Bye. :smile:

You sound so much better vsm, great to hear, I have been feeling pretty depressed and I too somehow feel connected with everyone here also, so you aren't the only one, lets stick this one out together, all of us! Oh, vsm,  I hate your name and what it says right underneath it, I don't really think you are that way, we all get in fucked up shoes now and again, I really wish you would change it, as I think just the thought of your name depresses you.
But, and this blows, it cost 10$ to change your name so I am thinking that's not an option right now, but I have started to beleive in positive reinforcement, and that name can not help your situation, but who is to say what is normal, In my opinion unless someone is a looney tune, which I was when I was hooked on bath salts, no one is!

How can you make that statement 100%, everyone's brain chemicals are different, as for example some people want to blow there head off on Prozac, others it works wonders! I would imagine mushrooms are no diff.

I just couldn't.. It took me 2 hours to get ready.. I took a bunch of lighters, used insulation tape to trigger them, filled a plastic bag with gas, taped it around my head. And that fucking sound of plastic weirded me out so bad I that I almost choked myself ripping it off. I don't know how I feel now. I guess cc1 is right. I need mental hospital. Thanks, guys.

Hey bro, its not that big of a deal, society puts to much a stigma on mental illness. I have it in the form of anxiety, and went to see the doc the other day and he thinks I need to go on lexapro, now I was having the symptoms I told him, but I was really wanting adderal, which I found from someone that same night and took 25 mg extended release 3 pills through the night, now this shit was nothing as expected, I fell asleep an hour after I took it, but I couldn't get out of bed, and now the last couple days since I took it I have been feeling good! Not speeding just able to get out of bed and do some shit!
Also vsm were I went to the psych ward, it was like a vacation from life almost! I did not have to do ANYTHING I didn't want to I could sleep all the time, if wanted, but most people in there it was because of drugs. And they def, give you them, fuck they gave me some shit called haldal, and it knocked my dick in the dirt, I slept forever and when I got up I couldn't hardly walk for hours!

Firstly, I want to thank all those who've contributed positive follow-ups to the OP. Those words helped more'n you guys will know.

and I feel this topic is still relevant... It brought me to this site.

Having tremendous feelings of GUILT will not offer a decent trip. Many times depression stems from shame.

I'd done something I wasn't too proud of, my second-to-last shroom frolic, and my mind turned against me. "Reality" then was helping me understand that it was indeed OK to let go because I was an ism - nothing to be missed. A gentle nod,  it was. If there were a gun in the hand at that moment... Yeah.

As a consistently depressed and sporadic suicidal, I can say that after the trip I'd of 3 days ago was riveting fun! ...for an hour. Then I died inside after attempting to shower all the inner and outer filth from my being. A friend comforted me, and I dunno where I'd be without him.

Like someone said, "it's a gamble." I'm sure we can get a sort of grasp of our headspace before throwing back the fungi. My gamble showed to me all my dysfunctions, unacceptable vices & lifestyle decisions so clearly... Still dunno how to overcome my issues, but it's a start.

To anyone else reading(outside the forum, wherever)... Please do not eat these alone, if you are determined to do this. Find schtuff to distract you in advance, maybe, too? Stay with us!

I have had trips that I was planning on taking solely to end it all, I wound up getting too lost in the fractals and euphoria that suicide was out of the question. I've had good trips turn south too, the only reason I am sitting here typing this right now is because I did not cut deep enough, I passed out thinking that was it, it was over, only to wake up the next day with a swollen wrist and a bad head-ache. (which I think was for the best?).
Honestly I think when I am ready to die (should it be personal choice, age, or whatever else) I want to take a thumbprint of acid, that'd be the way to leave this life, with a bang!

HEY, what's up? I HAVE REALLY BEEN WORRIED, no shit! I have often wondered what happened to you, and you are still with us,(hoorah)!

To be honest I wasn't so sure, and really have thought about you, as I am newer to these chat sites, I find it strange the amount of friendship you can develop, with out as much as ever seeing anyone's pic. Just words on a screen! I am so glad you are ok! I hope the depression has lowered, as it sounds, I am so glad ur alive, maybe I helped you some, I hope, but really all that matters to me is you are with us!

I am glad you resurrected this thread, to let us know you are alive! Well I am glad you are still alive and ok, your friend, cc1

I've had my fair share of depression/suicidal thoughts, just like any lonely young adult. I've taken acid, shrooms, 2c-p during these times, and during the trips I never thought about it. I've always had a firm enough grasp on "reality" that any negative thought I had I knew how to stray away from it. Besides, I've always been that kind of "emo" kid that is too pussy to even inflict self harm. Theres no way I could kill myself let alone hurt myself.

Others may not have that same kind of strength. Maybe suicide is more of an issue for others. I just tend to have occasional thoughts, the feeling of wanting to be dead but not wanting to go through the process of dying. So It's not too serious on my end. Suicidal thoughts and drugs do not mix, please do not attempt to do so. Even if you're someone like me who THINKS they can just overpower their thoughts. You wont always be so lucky.

Stay HEALTHY and HAPPY. Much love from me, good vibes to all. :inlove3:

Shrooms definitely brought me to "acceptance". I can see how it could make someone let go of whatever their problems from the past are or something. I could also see how someone could take it and see their "true sad existence" and their depression worsen after that though. Depends on the person, but for the most part I think it would work :crazy:

If you have never tried shrooms, that in itself is a reason to keep living. So many things you will miss out on, we arnt here long might as well make it a good experience :smile:.

IMO, I've always been against the "don't take psychedelics when you're going through rough parts and/or feel depressed". These have been the times they have been the most helpful to me. Not  because they offer some solutions out of thin air, but just because they allow me to let go and go with the flow, sometimes for the duration of the experience, sometimes for a few days after it.

I don't think you know how drugs work. Human beings are not that different from each other. No one's THAT different.

Just because someone doesn't find a particular movie "funny" does not me it is regarded as any less funny of a movie. It's the people's perspectives that vary not the effects of the drug.

SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM.




This quote fucks me off to the core. Not all problems in life are temporary. Some people live with permanent incurable health problems you know!?

But yeah, my best advice would be to exercise and avoid drugs. Meditate with some green tea.

My take on psyches is this. Personally I've never found them to amplify my current mind state. They tend to take me on a trip regardless of my mind state. I found setting to be more of a factor that alters the direction.

I took shrooms when I felt suicidal and depressed and it done me worlds of good. I don't think acid has the same potential as shrooms.

If you do acid I'd say go in with a goal. Focus on something you want to think about in your life, perhaps your problems and try and think about ways you can better your life. LSD has helped me but only when I've been extremely directed I don't thin it's for everyone.


--------------------
My Psychedelic experiences:
LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time.
Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g)
DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once)

Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

I think it all depends on the users intentions towards taking the drug prior. If the depressed/suicidal individual is taking it to escape reality and not deal with thier issues then i think it would be a recipe for disaster. On the other hand if he/she were to take it to gain insight or even have an open mind or good intentions towards taking LSD then it may be benifical. The dosage ammount would play a big factor to this too. I think microdosing could do wonders for suicidal tendencies or depression.
