I don't think I like mushrooms.

Tripping now.
Like many, I had never had mushrooms until I grew my own. The body buzz makes me feel terrible. The pupil dilation means I can't read my phone unless I cross one of my eyes. I look fucking retarded. Shrooms don't even have the effects I thought they had. Some colors are sharper and brighter sure, but this paranoia is just tough man. I'm trying very hard to find the enjoyment in these things, but it just isn't happening. I've tried going outside, jacking off, just nothing. Trying to slam a few beers to snap out of this. I don't really know why I'm posting this. Maybe some others can offer some insight.

They aren't for everyone, or everyone would take them.
What kind of dosage did you take?
The good news is that even if you really just do not enjoy them, it will be over in a few hours.

Hey, not all drugs are for all people man. Perhaps tryptamines are not your thing, perhaps not psychedelics at all? I prefer phenethylamines personally. I'm very partial to stimulants but I tend to get outa control on those and stay up for days and days, so I try to avoid them as best as possible.
It's all part of the journey brother!

What was your dose, I find a dose too low boring, but one too high uncomfortable. Maybe you should do some titration, or at least tell us how much you ate lol

Shrooms is too much of a mindfuck for a lot of people. It doesn't let you take control the way LSD does. It's alright, man.

I'm abit negative I guess. I make less than 10 dollars an hour. I like smoking weed but my connect just moved away. Been out for a day. Think that may play a big role in this particular trip. Wish I had some weed. I don't have many hobbies. In fact, my growing is my "primary hobby"
I'm not terribly good at any particular things. I can't play guitar, work on cars, etc. don't have literally any friends. Am very much a home body. I'm very bored in life. I think I have ADHD to be honest. May go to the doc soon over that. No ambition. I'm the smartest person I know, yet again like I said, I don't make shit for money. Own my home. Double wide, nothing fancy. Don't terribly like my home. Wish I had better furniture etc. just bored ya know. Being 21 with no ambition other than to smoke pot and drink beer sucks. I'm smart enough to see that, yet not smart enough to do anything with that. Every day is the same. Smoke weed drink beer go to bed. Wife is a booty. Never gives me any.
Hate this sense of never ending boredom. Even if I had more money I don't know what I'd do with it. I have zero interests in life.

I also don't have a scale. Which sucks a lot. Whatever 2 regular mouthfuls of dried shrooms would be. Just a small pile in the palm of you hand. Which actually, weighs more than I thought. I used a buddy's scale once and was very surprised that just a few shrooms was an 8th. I may have ate too much. I also eat them once every 4 days or so. Never had them till I grew them. So I've been eating a good bit. When I go out to say Walmart or something, all the neon colored shit really pops. But just sitting here at home, I feel quite depressed.

Ah, well there you go, your 'set' wasn't right.
Always remember man, before ingesting psychedelics, ensure your 'set' (mindset) and 'setting' (surroundings) a pleasant and clear. I been through some major shit in the past 2 years of my life, head was all over the place, and I didn't touch psychedelics for a year. Which is a looooooonnng ass time for me.
Just make sure you work on your stuff away from the drugs and come back to them with a clear head. I guarantee 100x more enjoyment.

you sound like me man. no friends, always bored, I don't have a woman though. haven't in years. I'm getting tired of this "normal life" I think eventually ill just get so fed up with being depressed day in and day out that ill just say fuck it and hit the road. my job is a customer service based job and I get talked to like shit every day. I want to just go Rambo on everyone at work. my anger is a side effect of my depression and that sucks too. I hate how my life is going right now. it truly fucking sucks. tripping used to be such a blast. my old friends and I would have the time of our lives. it was so "magical" (dont mean to sound gay). nowadays I hardly trip. haven't smoked weed in a while. just drink a few beers and the occasional whipits. getting tired of this "normal" life we are supposed to lead.

I'm not freaking out going crazy having a terrible trip or anything, but man these mushrooms are really making me reflect on just how unhappy in general I am. I even almost feel like crying. I kind of feel like a waste. I have a son and wife who need me to be the man, yet all I wanna do is smoke weed and drink. The simple answer is to just stop. But theres underlying issues I don't know the answers to causing me to do these things. I don't know why I drink every day, but I do. I'm so bored with just living. Not to alarm anyone, I'm still gonna be here tomorrow and the next day and so on, but fuck I'm bored. Could you imagine being a rockstar or a UFC fighter or some shit? That would be awesome. But instead I'm just Joe going to work everyday paying bills and waiting to die.

Try making changes in habits. Going without and having significantly less builds strength. Giving in to desire all the time whenever softens us. Don't blow it with the wife in kids. It's not right to expect certain results with shrooms. They cannot be abused that way.

I feel you. whenever id trip its not like I'm freaking out going psycho like an animal, id just get so down on my self reflecting on who I am and where I'm going in life. to sum it up I just feel like a huge loser. id love to be a rockstar or even just a famous youtube channel person making 100,000's of dollars a year just from making videos, having a cool group of friends, living in cali or somewhere cool. that would be awesome man. my parents never really taught me anything when it comes to saving, making money, jobs, they just say "you need to make good money to survive" and want me to live a normal life. sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to take over your thread. I just feel like I can relate to you on some level.

Well, I think you'll find in the long run that this difficult trip will serve you well. Probably better than a good one would.
I mean, who has the power to change any of these things about your life? No one but you man.
It is not a simple answer to 'just stop'. I been doing drugs since I was 14. There's no just stopping about it. I've been working with a therapist 11 months, meditating 4+ years, riding the fuck out of motorbikes 8+ years, and training like a madman 17+ years.
All this is to try and find the answer to drugs. Drugs were a given on my path. My earliest memory is jumping higher and higher off the stairs. Always found a way to change my state. It's one of the few constants in my life.
None the less, it my aggression towards it all I have found lots of coping strategies and mechanisms. It sounds like you just need some of them. For example, my life would feel so empty without these things in it:
My bikes, my gym, my tattoos. My search for spiritual truth. These things are what give my existence here meaning. They're all hard work, but worth their weight in gold.

You're cool man I feel the same. My parents didn't teach me a whole lot either. But that's not to take anything away from them. They always busted their ass to make sure we had food. We never went hungry. But always were low class. Bills bills bills. They lived paycheck to paycheck, I'll probably always do the same aswel. I'm 22 next week and still waiting on life to give me a check and say what's up. Waiting on colleges to call me. Waiting on a huge job to give me a ring. Those are never gonna happen, but that's what I expect. I keep refreshing this page just waiting on a reply. I pay 60 bucks phone bill a month, just looked at my text screen.... To talk to, my mom? No one gives a shit about me. I'm just a sad soul barely getting by. I hate this shit man.

my parents were always good to me and my siblings. like you, we never went hungry and for the most part got what we wanted, within reason. as in if I wanted one of those tiny street bike things at 13 nah wasn't gonna get it. but we got shoes, clothes, gi joes, etc. my dad has a good job, my mom never went to college, he is a lot older than my mom. nearly 20 years. but even with a good job we still live paycheck to paycheck and have struggled in the past, not now though. I think it was because my folks have always tried to live above their means and never budgeted. I think my parents sort of tried to be "the cool parents". nowadays I pay for my own stuff even though I know they would pay for me but I'm not going to do that to my dad. I feel you on that man... I have an older iPhone and the only person I text frequently is my mom... she always updates me on if shes coming home, etc etc.
I have no friends these days and even the few friends I had back in high school are long gone. I never talk to them. I feel like shit every single day and when my parents ask me how my day was/how work was/I get annoyed even though I know I shouldn't. I don't want to kill myself, I get feeling of wanting to hurt other people but I would never act out on those feelings. I'm fed up with my job and I'm thinking that eventually itll just reach a point where I cant take it anymore and at that point I'm going to visit an old childhood friend who lives across the country, we talk a few times a month still and we've seen eachother around 4 or 5 times in the past 10 years. then see what its like out there and just bum around for however long. money isn't worth me feeling like this every single day.

My friend you should begin the process of growing your own food! It helps you reground and start to find patience and understanding. I love going out daily and picking fresh herbs and the occasional fruit and veggie! It is truly accomplishing especially when you build soil organically.

trip in nature with music or drumming, and try to trip with a purpose in mind, a positive productive purpose like healing, or even just the enjoyment of nature.
I am sure the shrooms will have something positive to show you, sometimes you can get into negative mindstates like you describe while tripping but there is another beautiful side to it, though its not for everyone.
mushrooms are my favorite psychedelic, i love them so.

How you feeling now my brother? I had a powerful trip on acid tonight and am still on the tail end of the trip. I read your posts and felt touched by your words.
I just want to say man that look every single one of us is on a journey. That's all there is to it. Be proud of what you have achieved. Having a son and a wife is such an amazing thing. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are only human. Responsibilities or not.
Listen myself - I have been in the craziest mindsets going into the trips. I've felt lost, depression. But i've always had very profound and positive experiences from going into my trips. I think the environment is the most important. Shrooms will show you things that you might not want to see, but that's where you will feel the therapy from. I am sure when you come out of this tomorrow and think about what they showed you you'll feel so much better.
I mean the same words to the other persons I saw posting about how they feel about their life. Life is no easy pill to swallow for any of us. It's just a journey.... we gotta love it for what it is... ok my brothers n sisters?
-------------------- 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
