not sure how forums work, needed to find a community that actually has experience and knowledge about psychedelics.

used shrooms many times, of course with caution, yet somehow i managed to fry my brain (to some extent) and im almost positive i have HPPD now, except- i have strong symptoms of depression and anxiety this past week, very unusual considering i usually only feel like crap the day after a trip and pot fixes that easily.

took maybe 1.5 G on a friday afternoon, weak but pleasant trip and i was disappointed it was over so soon so i had a "bunch" of shredded up stems leftover in the bottom of the bag in an attempt to trip again since my friend i hadnt seen in a while was coming over.

i did sorta trip again but it was extremely unpleasant and just a low quality trip in general. it lasted a few hours and subsided. smoked a lot of pot that night.

here's where things begin to go wrong. next day i felt a bit off, but thought nothing of it since the day after a trip is supposed to be crappy. i begin to feel a bit annoyed while watching tv, the room felt "busier" so i went to bed. as soon as i lied down i felt what can only be described as a "punch to my emotions" and i instantly felt depressed, sad, lost, ready to cry. left my room and got a friend on the phone since i realized i was having an uncalled for trip ALONE while having a panic attack. i prayed to God to help me and whether it was true divine intervention or just placebo, that seemed to bring the trip down to a manageable level until i could calm myself down and eventually get to sleep.

next few days i didnt feel sober. my head still felt "in the clouds" or just a few steps away from reality. my house didnt feel like my house, just felt lost and confused so naturally i used lots of fairly potent pot to relax myself and take the edge off. it helped but at the same time seemed to make the visuals worse so i decided to maintain abstinence for at least the next few weeks.

hanging out with friends and getting out of the house seemed to help distract me from the symptoms but whenever im alone and not occupied with some activity i feel EXTREMELY depressed, somewhat anxious and the visuals just piss me off because they make it so hard to relax and theyre not even close to cool or interesting. theyre just crap, like the lowest quality trip ever.


anybody, please. please give me any information you know about why i had that unexpected "trip", why it messed me up so bad and whether i just have to cope with this relentless hell in my brain or if it can subside with time and/or anything else. i did get a blood and urine test at the doctors, told them everything that happened and i find out soon if they can help me in any way but im not optimistic they can do much to help me at this point. my fault for dosing irresponsibly i guess. i still feel like im not myself (in a nauseous/trapped sort of way) whenever im not busy.. so in the morning, when i go to sleep and whenever im not occupied with an activity or task.

thank you for your time, and i apologise if this post seems out of place or that i dont know what the procedure is on forums. i just needed to talk to people who arent going to just criticise me for usage, people who can give me answers or at least point me in a helpful direction.

Well let me start by saying that it's very likely you'll make a full recovery, but obviously you're gonna need to tread careful for a while.

I'm pretty sure I had HPPD for a few months whilst going through a very hard period in my life. I had psychedelic like visuals nearly all day, but they were most noticeable morning and night. I'm no expert but I think a major symptom of HPPD is persistent visuals - do you have them?

The other symptoms you describe sound to me like a bit of a mishmash of psychosis and depression. Have there been any big life changes or traumatic experiences for you of late? How has your mental heath been in general throughout your life? Are you prone to depression or anything like that?

Please stick around man, you'll find the people here are very kind and will do all they can to help. Just know that most of us here have been through similar stuff too, so you're in good company.

It will only destroy what you are not.

thanks man, there hasnt been a single person who could give me any insight on my condition yet and i do honestly feel like i have been very slowly been getting better, this morning has been the best morning so far in terms of visuals and "hallucinations" meaning they are usually the worst (like you said) in the morning and at night. they are very minimal, the visual snow, tails, halos and all that.

yes my family has a history or depression and anxiety, i went through depression in my later high school years. my grandfather even committed suicide so thats something i have to beat.

im sorry you also went through these symptoms but im really greatful that youve got such reassuring feedback. everyone else has basically told me "well dude, you're f*cked" and that just fuels the fire of anxiety which in turn probably agitates the symptoms. im glad i came to this forum though, very helpful so far. much thanks

what a long strange trip it's been...

It's a great forum man. I've never found anything else that comes even remotely close. As a fellow tripper, I hope you stick around and get to know the community - there's some amazing people here.

So yeah, step one, lets ditch that bullshit about you being fucked that the programmed types have been telling you. Probably the same kind of people that would say LSD collects in your spine and will give you flashbacks for the rest of your life. Forget that regurgitated bullshit, no one is simply 'fucked'. I've seen people come back from the brink of absolute madness here. I don't have much experience of mental health issues myself, aside of the odd spot of psychosis brought on by meth and sleep deprivation, but many of those closest to me suffer a variety of conditions, so I'm no stranger.

So yeah, your HPPD symptoms sound exactly like mine were. So I know from personal experience that that will likely resolve itself in time. It might take a couple of months, and it's a bit weird and distracting, but you can get on with life no problem with that minor annoyance. I know it probably feels bigger than that right now, but when you've had it a while it is just that.

I imagine your predisposition towards anxiety is playing quite a role here. My wife had the same and I've seen a bad trip exacesbate it massively. Fuck, I've had a couple of bad trips myself and it's always taken a good few weeks to completely recover, and I hardly ever feel anxiety.

Which basically leaves the sudden depression as the remaining thing to investigate, and as much as I would if I could, I can't help you there. Do you ever meditate? That might help bring the roots of it into the light. Failing that, just relax and try and find the source of this depression. My gut says it's likely just bad trip hangover (is this your first bad one?) but there's also a good chance there's something more - perhaps the trip has even revealed something you've had buried down inside that needed to come out - bad trips have a way of being far more growing experiences than easy ones IME.

From what you say it's been a while since you've felt depression, and in my 32 long years here I've come to the conclusion that there simply is no avoiding it from time to time. Fuck, after going through the worst year of my life recently, losing everything that mattered to me, I finally came out the other side and have been better than ever for the last couple of months. But last week I sunk into a deep, deep depression. I'm out again now, and feel I've figured it, but it baffled me at first.

And therein lies your task. Either figure out what is causing that feeling, or focus on pushing through it using tools like meditation, intense exercise, and good clean diet.

Stay positive my brother, you'll be through this in no time and be a far wiser man for the experience!!!
