Hi, I recently took shrooms for the first time and now I'm experiencing extreme anxiety which caused me to quit my job and just stay at home all the time. Im scared and I'm not myself at all. I need answers. Someone please tell me I haven't permanently messed myself up

You haven't permanently messed yourself up. You've probably triggered an underlying anxiety disorder that would have arisen sooner or later anyway. Tons of people get this from smoking weed out of nowhere even after smoking regularly for years and years with no issues, but mushrooms can cause it too or any number of mind-altering experiences.
It's something many of us have had to deal with, and it will probably always persist to some extent, but by making lifestyle changes and being diligent about your own well-being you can achieve great things in your life and feel much better overall.
Do you have a doctor or counselor that you see? Do you eat right and exercise? Got any hobbies?
Start small, like do some simple yoga or meditation. It will help, just stick with it and remember to breathe. Take 10 long slow breaths in and out and you are taking a great step towards recovering from an anxiety episode!

maybe the mushrooms just made you realize that the job is shit and you need to truly go find yourself. just take a few relaxing days to cool off

How long can I expect to feel like this? How long does this lingering anxiety last? I just want some relief that I'm not completely losing my mind

I don't feel happy and I'm typically a very happy person. This is just not normal for me

You should go to a Doctor and tell them that you took shrooms and now have crushing anxiety which forces you to stay home.

Do you smoke weed? If so, have you been smoking more since your trip?

I do not drink beer. You should figure out the reply-to feature.

There's really no telling. What really helped me in the end was just realizing that I was going to be anxious, accepting it, and just doing things anyway. Of course it is not that simple, but just know that it is ok to feel the way you do. You have nothing to be ashamed of and it is good that you are seeking help.
How long has it been since you dosed?

Just relax... You're the same person. Accept the anxiety dint fight it.
Internalize the trip and realize why you're having this anxiety.
it will pass man you haven't messed yourself up.
and just like someone mentioned maybe quitting that job was actually the right choice.
Best of luck

Can you fill in some details ?
How much mushrooms did you take ? What was the trip like?
Did you quit the job the day after tripping?
What did you say to your employer when you quit ?
Is the anxiety constant or does it come in intense panic attack episodes ?
How long ago did you do the shrooms ?
You are fine. You will be fine.
Taking valerian root extract is a safe, legal and effective anxiety remedy . You should try it before resorting to more addictive opiates.
Exercise, yoga and meditation all help get control of your mind and emotions .
Don't use mushrooms again , they are a particularly challenging and difficult psychedelic and obviously you had a bad response to it.
The more detail and info you provide the more help people can give you.
