Feeling terrible after shrooms

It's been 4 weeks since I've taken shrooms and for the most part the trip was fantastic, but the end of the trip got really bad with roller coaster emotions, bad anxiety and nothing seemed to make sense, possibly because I smoked throughout the night and not long before this occurred. I managed to fall asleep that night and when I woke up I felt completely fine and totally myself for most of the day following the trip. Although later in the evening I was sitting at the dinner table and even though I had reflected on the trip throughout the day, when I did it this time a certain thought caused me to have this horrible feeling come over me. Ever since I've been in a dreadful state of what some people tell me is depression. At times I don't feel too terrible and feel as though the symptoms are lifting but definitely not 100%. And when I finally feel like things are getting better I'll just get random bouts of complete darkness. I feel empty, I can understand emotions but not necessarily feel anything but anxiety/fear and guilt/sadness. My sex drive is pretty much gone, and I've lost feelings for things/people that I would've been very passionate about before hand. I was a regular marijuana smoker prior to the trip but haven't seen any benefits of smoking since this has happened so I've quit for almost 3 weeks now. I just feel so distraught, overwhelmed and extremely stressed out. Today was the first time I've actually been able to cry, and I cried really hard, which felt kind of good but still definitely not what I want to be doing. There are times of clarity which I try my best to lock in and remain calm but sometimes it's nearly impossible. I know this is to an extent somewhat common, but can anyone give any tips as to how I should approach getting better or an estimated time of when this will leave or just any sort of input. I feel like I'm losing my mind at times with intense mood swings (not really happy to sad, but anxious to relaxed, or having major contradicting feelings about certain things) and being strong willed at this point is getting exhausting. The only thing giving me comfort is knowing that I was okay most of the day after and that the drugs must not have ruined my mind permanently, but sometimes it's hard to even hold onto that because these feelings have stuck for so long and it's a constant battle to try and keep my mind off the subject. Just need some insight please. I have taken shrooms before but this is the only negative experience I've had. Thank you in advance.

First things first,
You are going to be fine!
This is a fairly common occurrence. I want to ask a few background questions so we both can get a better understanding.
Is this your first time using mushrooms?
How old are you?
Are you now or were you ever on any prescription or over the counter medication?
Describe your typical diet
Are you active, do you exercise and if so describe the nature of the exercise and how often?
Are you in school?
Do you know what the source of your anxiety during the comedown of you trip was due to?
Do you have any close friends with whom you can talk about this experience with who aren't judge mental about these issues ?

Seems to me like most of these effects are because you stopped smoking weed.
Weed suppresses certain emotions if you choose to suppress them by smoking all the time. When you stop smoking it is common for old feelings to arise in you.
Furthermore i feel maybe your shroom trip didnt leave you feeling complete. Maybe you are half way through some kind of process and the answer is to have no fear and go straight into it. I don't know you, but i'd consider another trip, to help process everything.
Have faith in the process which you have begun, and continue. It's all love

I know 'rationalists' or whatever you want to call them would rule out ideas like demonic attachment or non-human parasitic entities but I won't. I don't think you should either. The idea that you are opening your mind and dissolving boundaries suggests, to me at least, that you are creating a vulnerability to something that can give and take (personality, energy, emotions, smiles) that is not human. For every human there are manifestations of good and evil in the Astral(?) World. Some of These entities thrive on suffering and the emissions that the body makes when anxious and depressed. They create insanity for fun and laugh. They can operate the stream of consciousness that you assumed to be you while you react to, seemingly, your own brain. But if this is the case it's the inhabitance by non-human forces that needs to be determined first.
Angels and Demons are real. Do you smoke cigarettes?

What do cigarettes have to do with anything?
Tobacco is a highly praised plant on most ancient cultures. It's only until recently that most tobacco is processed and dirtied up with chemicals and pure nicotine.

Just wondering.
Cigarettes seem to make things allot worse for me as far as possession goes.
Klonopin and they stop talking for a while.

Odd, because tobacco is meant to be a healer plant that lifts "curses" and "demons". You need a cigar or some straight tobacco like a Spirit or Dunhill.
