Is it possible to lose your mind on shrooms?

There have been times when I took epic doses (8G or more) that I have entered states of pure disorder and pure chaos, where nothing makes sense, and all the order and meaning in my life was nothing but an illusion. It's like staring straight into the abyss.
Everytime I've gone this deep it's always had life altering effects, but only because I eventually pulled myself out of it. When you're staring into the darkness it feels like it's the truth, I always feel like i'm in danger of never coming out of it.
Would it be possible if you took enough shrooms and you were in a wrong state of mind that you would permanently lose your mind?

Not without a predisposition to psychosis/schizophrenia. You could potentially get PTSD if you had a bad enough experience. There is also a shift in consciousness/paradigm once you've had some really crazy visions that might leave you a different arguably person. At high doses you do lose your mind, that's ego death. If you don't fight it, it comes back stronger and you're fine. People that fight that unraveling, freak out and do something retarded are the ones that suffer later.

I find comfort in that I am never the same after...
but so far as losing one's mind on mushrooms. if someone's in a really horrible environment, let alone being really high on mushrooms, they can loose their minds.
Like one time I remember being really high on mushrooms with this one guy and after a lot of confusion he said he'd been sexually abused as a kid often and it had just surfaced, like he tried hard to suppress but I guess mushrooms where taking that out of him. felt like I lost my mind that night, and for several weeks after I thought of that every hour of every day and couldn't stop. I guess because I was naive to some of the darkness that exists in this world I found it impossible to wrap my head around some of the evil... so yeah in short some shit in life can throw a wicked curve ball and knock my head right off my shoulders NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
-------------------- But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try and another to fly You get there quicker just a step at a time It's one thing to bark, another to bite The show ain't over till you pack up at night
