Worst trip ever!!!

Hey all, so early this year I experimented with LSD and that was almost always pretty damn awesome. What's more it really helps my depression. But after not being able to get anymore I turned to shrooms. My first experience was pretty good though heavy. But my second one.... oh my second one. I'll never forget that night. It happened a month ago and I ended up having the worst night of my life. Complete fear, paranoia, anxiety for hours and hours. I was convinced that I'd lost my mind and that I was going to end up in a ward. The day after was super tough and I ended up in the hospital from my very first panic attack. I started seeing a psychotherapist right after and felt pretty good. To my surprise though the panic attacks, anxiety, and depression came back a week later and I've been rather unstable since. I've had good days so that makes me hopeful and I feel like I'm finally stabilizing thanks to my psychotherapy sessions, my doctor who put me on anti-depressants, meditation, and yoga but I still don't feel myself 100%. At least not everyday yet. I'm hopeful that this will pass and that I'll be a better version of myself once I'm over this. My reason to post this is since you all have more experience with shrooms, have any of you had a similar experience or know of someone? I read some stories of people that have had an experience like this and suffered for a few weeks or months but eventually recovered. I'm hopeful that's my case.

This has never happened to me but does happen to people on occasion. The short answer is to stay away from psychs and weed for an extended period of time and these negative effects will usually fade away with time. Good luck!

Well first off I'd like to say that I agree with ChemicalSpark in that SSRIs/anti-depressants are poison, "they're a bad scene man" like a clichè anti-drug pusher from the 80s would say. I would strongly consider getting off the meds if I were you and use yoga and/or meditation as well as healthy eating and positive very positive thinking. You have to be optimistic, optimism is the ultimate hack code to the universe unfolding in your favor.
It's funny because I had this exact same thing happen to me but with the two drugs completely reversed. I had done mushrooms quite a number of times before trying acid and felt absolutely invincible and couldn't even understand how or why people had or could have "bad trips" but then I started doing acid and my first trip was good but my second time...oh boy my second LSD trip that was the first truly hellish bad trip I've ever had on a psychedelic and ever since then psychedelics have just never been the same again. It was quite quite depressing.
It's weird because you say this bad mushroom trip made you depressed and even though I can kinda imagine that it's not something I usually hear often. For example I'd say bad trips on LSD are more depressing and dreary and "shitty" than bad trips on mushrooms because when people have bad trips on mushrooms it's usually not as much depressing as it is fucking terrifying. Bad trips on shrooms seem to be like living nightmares and are actually scary but bad acid trips always tend to be just major bummers and depressing. I find mushrooms have a very anti-depressant quality to them so it's weird to hear about people who get depressed after eating them.
Just tough it out for now man and as time passes you will heal, time really does heal us time is some crazy shit and you may be surprised how much you can actually control this and eliminate any negative feelings or views with your own thoughts and intention. That's something that mushrooms taught me, you are the judge of how you feel at any given moment and no one else controls how you feel other than yourself. You are the dictator of your reality.
I also personally found mushroom trips no matter how rough or difficult to always be fairly healing I think even the hellish terrifying trips can be healing. I don't know I just feel like bad trips from acid have way more noticeable after effects and tend to negatively affect people's lives more. I've noticed that when people have even really horrifying trips on mushrooms though they might have been absolutely scared out of their wits at the time they still tend to almost always come back relatively unscathed if not even psychologically healthier than they were before doing them. A lot of the negativity you're experiencing may just be in your own head.

Thanks Aurora. The depression actually came back about a week after my shroom trip not during. During the trip it was like you described. A living nightmare. I've never been so afraid in my damn life. Plus I had smoked a ton of weed which made it even more intense. I had one depressive trip on LSD (with weed) and yes, it sucked but by the next day I was fine. This shroom trip however.... nightmare, then... more nightmare. Most of my LSD trips were amazing. Colorful, happy, and I felt like I could take on the whole world but I also never did huge amounts. Most of the time it was a 1/2 dose with the occasional full dose when I was feeling extra good. As far as anti-depressants. I agree, I hate them too and thankfully my doctor wants me off them once I've stabilized. He's very progressive and is looking into other ways for me to beat this and feel normal again. We're working on meditation and therapy right now and we're looking into CBD. I'm feeling optimistic so thanks all!!!

Try some Lemon EO, like 6 drops in a capsule a day. It seemed to help me ground myself after some intense Aya experimentation. Helped with anxiety and paranoia.

i have actually never had a bad trip on mushrooms but i had a terrible trip when i overdosed on cactus and somehow thought it would be a smart idea to take three gravity bong hits of hash. that sent me out of my mind and it took me 3 months to recover but i did recover. you will recover in time also.

I had one of those trips, pretty much thought I was a mental patient in a Ward with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's and my 'real' life was just a fabrication from the mental illness and old age... It was a very trying experience but it was over, and I knew it was the drugs, and that was that.
You can't feed into the psychological aspects and doubts, everything's how it's supposed to be, and if it wasn't could you really change it anyway? More than likely not.
Sorry that you had a rough time but all things pass so don't worry about it.

No problem man, I guess I can relate to you in some ways with your somewhat similar experience. Hope you get better because as time passes the real meaning of even your worst experiences can begin to show and then maybe a revelation or two. That CBD treatment idea sounds awesome, I really want to do some CBD myself again soon. I had CBD weed once when I was like 16 but I didn't even know what it was or anything and it was only like my 5th or 6th time smoking weed. Take care man, sending good vibes your way.
