I think I`m permanently damaged from LSD and need to talk to someone

hi, so about a month ago I posted on this site about the horrible existential dread and hopelessness I had been feeling, and some people on here were very helpful and kind but my condition is growing far worse, and I was wondering if there was any kind soul who has battled with LSD related mental damage who could possibly PM with me sometime so I can sort things out

You are probably just having trouble coming to terms with your mind. Giving an ignorant person LSD is like showing an NPC that they are in a video game. You can't go back, you will never get "better" your consciousness is just in an altered state.
You took acid, get over it. You will die, every memory and thought you have ever held dear will be wiped off the planet the instant you die. Just live with it. Get a job christ. If you have time to have constant revelations every single day then maybe use your skills to analyze information and better yourself and others?
Maybe you're just a schizo and should not have ever laid hands on drugs.
The power to hold the light of consciousness to this universe is a gift beyond description and you're squandering it with petty worry.
ADAPT! JESUS CHRIST ADAPT TO YOURSELF!

I`m far from an Ignorant person, even before LSD I was a very empathetic person who questioned my surroundings, but my analysis of the world was empowering before I had a bad acid trip, now when I break down everything around me, I become terrified beyond words of the world around me, I instantly feel infinity in every direction, I get overwhelmed by how big the sky is, I look at another person and can not grasp the billions of small working parts that keeps one of us together, and I am in this thought pattern absolutely constantly and have tried meditating and not drinking caffeine and stopped smoking weed for the past month and I still feel them same. My life is not in a good place right now but it hasn`t been for a very long time, but before now, as shitty as it was it still seemed like life, this is like a nightmare that never ever stops

Yes I'm suffering with panic disorder, agoraphobia, hppd, insomnia, hypochondriasis, and now possibly IBS thanks to psychedelics. These are things that run in my family but the psychedelics brought them out very early. I've been trying CBT and accupuncture. I might need to start antidepressants or lithium.
This didn't all happen in one bad trip though. It took 100+ trips.

I've been there man. I used to take 10 or 15 drops from a vial with my oj in the morning once a month. I've known those same depths. You are not unique, you are not sick, your consciousness is just in a different way now.
Seriously get over yourself, the world is full of 20 somethings who think that cause they took acid a bunch they are special.
Blow that ego away with some deemster maybe.

i dont think hes saying that he thinks he is special and honestly you are giving him some shit advice man.
my advice to you OP is that its just gonna take some time. you are just really rattled by the experience but it will get better with time. If nothing gets better for you maybe you should go talk to someone and get on some medication because it might be an underlying mental illness that was triggered by LSD.
idk tho, i think you might be just fine and overwhelmed.
dont listen to the bad advice. hold out, some people will give you some good advice around here.

I`ve seen people my age who are unbearable Pseudo intellectuals who think they`re spacey because they dropped acid. I did it because I was lost in my life and I wanted answers, and I`ve had a 180 on my worldview and seen behind a lot of curtains, but it has caught me in an incredibly uncomfortable thought loop, like a bad trip going on in one part of your brain, but you`re with it just enough to control the steering wheel at the same time

i mean dude if its really that bad then you should seek some help outside of the shroomery. We are drug enthusiasts not doctors... but i really feel for you man. I hope things get better for you.
if its really that overwhelming how do you get through the day?
can you get any benzos? maybe taking some xanax will help chill you out a little and have time to think it over and realize you are ok...
just dont get hooked on that stuff... then you will be more anxious than now ha

Hi, I have been through that. It takes time to reintegrate. It helps to talk to a therapist if you can find one you feel safe & comfortable with. Regular excercise helps too. LSD expands our minds and it can be painful to get "stuck expanded" when as humans we need to be able to have finite personal consciousness most of the time. Glimpses of the infinite are wonderful. To get stuck with outer expanded focus is a curse unless we find ways to integrate back into human perspective. You will find a way. Know that it takes time and get related to kind others. We wake up to the endless suffering and pain of countless beings (e.g. Factory farms, or greed driven wars) and see the smallness of human egos. Yet we are far from the ideal visions we see on psychedelics. The gap is existentially painful at first. Don't despair. Find your way little by little.

Yeah man, I don`t mean to turn a message board into a therapy session for me, it`s just late and I`m alone and incredibly anxious and wanted some comfort I guess. I`m thinking about going to a therapist, I just don`t have a lot of time because I`m currently in minimum wage slavery to survive, and in my free time I`m binging on things I at least used to enjoy to keep myself somewhat grounded

I tried it for the first time in July, 1 tab, then about a month later I did 2 and they were both fine trips. Then in early September I had a very bad experience only taking 1, but it was overly powerful and it was the most terrifying thing I`ve experienced. I actually took it a couple more times in small doses the most recent I took a weaker tab before a concert and had a very good time. It`s been more since late october/early November that my thoughts have become very scary and my life has become very difficult

the bad trip didn`t immediately cause a problem in my day to day life, I figured it just happens and I`d had more good trips than bad so why not
It probably wasn`t a good idea but that was my reasoning

Hey man I've been through the same kind of existential anxiety before, and I'm still sort of going through it now. Everyday and every minute was constant thinking about death and fear of ceasing to exist. At first it was about myself then I started to fear losing others. It started two months ago when I smoked way too much weed, which I'm sure is not nearly as intense as an acid trip but it still brought it out. I just want to tell you that the constant anxiety and fear will go away. I had the worst week of my life when I would wake up from a nightmare everyday and with constant butterflies in my stomach. My stomach would hurt and the butterflies would not help. I wanted to lay in fetus position on my couch but unlike depression it just wouldn't help, because I could go down to the deepest darkest cave in the world and I still would not have been able to escape it. Every hour was horrible, I had my first near-anxiety attacks at school and I would have to leave the class because I was so afraid. I had to call hotlines so that I could have someone to talk to, I really hated it. I would just ask myself, "why the hell does it have to be me?". Over time, I got used to the idea of one day dying. I see it as a release. Sure life will suck the day that my parents die, or if one of my siblings die. And relatively soon I know one of my grandparents will die, but a week ago my sister announced that I would soon be an uncle. I will have a little nephew/neice who may look up to me, and my parents will be grandparents. Also my grandparents have been depressed for the longest time and my dad says that they are really really happy because my sister is getting married. My point is, is that life is suffering as much as it is happiness. And vice versa. Focus on the good in life, and try to enjoy the good things now instead of later. Life is beautiful man, it will get better with time and patience. Find a hobby, for example I'm going to be building a PC next week after finals, I've been waiting for this moment for over a year. peace

When people assure me that they`ve been through it to and come out the other side better people, it`s not that I don`t believe them, it`s that there`s this lingering feeling of "They`re them, and I`m me, and I`m different", even if it might be irrational that thought is always there

It will get better trust me. Find something else to take over your thoughts, like a girl or something. Me, I couldn't find a girl until last week but I've been trying to focus on my PC which will be bad ass and the thought of the things I'll be able to do takes over the bad thoughts. It's good that you recognize that that thought is irrational, but it's true. You're different. It may take longer for you to get better, or less time than it will take me. Just think that there's been many people in history who have been through the same kind of "life is meaningless" anxiety as you have, and have gotten better. No one is alone in this world.

Hey man, I know what you're talking about. I'm personally against lsd because it was originally extracted from a parasitic fungus which grows on rye grain, and eating that fungus can kill you or make you deathly ill. The only thing you have on your side is time, sobriety, and start living a healthy lifestyle. Yoga can help since lsd affects the spine the most and yoga aims to heal the spine perhaps above all else.
I believe mushrooms are the only hallucinogens that are safe but 1. it's illegal and 2. a bad lsd trip should force you to concentrate on getting sober for 10 years at the least. Healing your body and mind should be your number 1 concern right now.

I've done my research. By affecting the spine I don't mean it will deform your back. We simply don't know how lsd affects the spine and nervous system but we do know that you need a spinal tap to test for the drug which stays in the spine for years if not permanently. I find it hard to trust a drug that was extracted from a parasitic fungus and that using it poses no health risks.
Ayahuasca is the only other psychedelic I'd think of as safe. Salvia and mescaline are questionable since they don't operate on the DMT axis. Salvia is more of a dissociative than a psychedelic and mescaline is probably a cactus' defense mechanism.

no... you do not need a spinal tap to test for it lol
and it does not stay in your spine for years, those are myths!
how are salvia and mescaline not safe? and when you say the DMT axis do you mean that they are not tryptamines??
how is salvia a dissociative? and by your logic about cactus and mescaline, wouldnt that be the same for mushrooms? or salvia?
please explain this logic

Well law enforcement have used spinal taps to test for lsd with success. It is water soluble but how it resides in the spine and causes things such as flashbacks are still unknown. It's possible that lsd created from natural lsa like morning glory seeds could be safer, but its illegality creates problems.
Yes, I'm talking about tryptamines. I don't trust non-tryptamines as psychedelics because the pineal gland uses dmt naturally during sleep to create visions. Visions created from other parts of the brain could be like short circuiting a house to have more christmas lights.

wow... just wow.
first off police have not done spinal taps on people to test for LSD. You can test for LSD and its metabolites using a GS MS test.
And its only a theory that DMT is produced by the brain to make you dream. Im pretty sure that has never been proven but i might be wrong. I think it probably is true though. mushrooms dont just act on that gland if they even do... and how could it be like short circuiting to use other chemicals? what about phens?? do you think that these drugs have never been studied at all? ready Tihkal and Pihkal... hell ready erowid and learn what you are talking about before coming here and spreading misinformation or acting like psychedelics other than tryps are dangerous in some way..
not trying to hate on you, but please read up. knowledge is power
much love

Well if I was your spiritual opponent I would undermine you at your weakest point.
Looks to me like you are a "Sensitive" that can prove to be a liability should you progress, hence the opposition.
In making sense of your predicament we see that it is only mind games that transfer into the physical thru your actions.
So guard your actions by minding your principles.

It hasn't been proven that dmt is produced during sleep but since it's literally one molecule away from melatonin, which is the pineal gland's main hormone which puts us to sleep and functions on light cycles, it's highly probable.
You can test for lsd with standard tests but you'd better do it fast because it flies out of the system rapidly. I'm not sure if lsd is detected itself in the spine or if other chemicals which show up as evidence of lsd usage is what shows up. It's also possible that law enforcement have created this myth to instill fear, and I'm not impervious to that possibility. But to question whether or not lsd can have permanent consequences for someone's nervous system is silly in my opinion, especially since it is 200 times more potent by volume and lasts twice as long as psilocybin.

Also human beings in some ways are more related to fungi than any other kingdom. And since most would say a healthy approach to psychedelics would not be to use them regularly, but rarely and powerfully, why do we need all these different chemicals when the mushroom provides everything we could ever need? The latest research shows the vast majority responds positively to psilocybin, so all these different entheogens seems to me unnecessary and some of us end up like the neurosoup girl. Which isn't to hate on her either but she definitely was in a nightmarish death spiral of psychedelic overload at one point.

At the time that those people I included were going through it, they probably would've said the same thing. Overwhelming is just that, somewhere in the middle of the 2 perspectives that you now have you may find solace. Good luck you're never as alone as you think, especially here.

Dont listen to these people telling you that you need to 'trip your way out of it'. This is a psychedelics forum and these people all have a personal agenda to promote their culture and sell drugs and they have a certain type of mind and probably dont know what it's like to have a latent mental disorder. I've been trying to 'trip my way out' for years and only keep digging a deeper and deeper hole with a worsening condition.
It sounds like you're just hung over. Always wait a few weeks and assess yourself again. You probably didnt screw yourself up with one trip. However if you keep repeating it over and over dozens of times, especially bad trips, you can screw yourself over. Respect the substance and listen to it. If it's telling you to take a break, then take a nice long break.

I've done my research. By affecting the spine I don't mean it will deform your back. We simply don't know how lsd affects the spine and nervous system but we do know that you need a spinal tap to test for the drug which stays in the spine for years if not permanently. I find it hard to trust a drug that was extracted from a parasitic fungus and that using it poses no health risks.
Ayahuasca is the only other psychedelic I'd think of as safe. Salvia and mescaline are questionable since they don't operate on the DMT axis. Salvia is more of a dissociative than a psychedelic and mescaline is probably a cactus' defense mechanism.

OP what's your experience with mushrooms? Would you say something particular to the LSD experience is what caused your crisis? Or do you think any psychedelic experience could have triggered your problems?

Posts such as these make me wonder if it's even worthwhile to try LSD, or if it's more of a risk for certain individuals.

If you're sure you have some sort of severe mental disorder, then I would say never trip again. But if you're just psychologically traumatized by a bad trip then I say trip again on lower dose and a better setting.

First off fuck Czech (I hope he gets flamed off this site). I've been there OP. Although I have two friends who only tripped a handful of times and never made it back (they're both schizophrenic now and can no longer hold a conversation with anyone) I have another friend who suffered a similar meltdown and is now fullly functional. This doesn't necessarily have to be you. I will PM you later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Mushrooms can fuck you up exactly as much as acid can. Just because its "natural" doesnt mean its inherently safer than something synthetic. Jimson weed and castorbean are natural aswell but i dont think you wanna ingest either.
Also rubystar is probably trolling
@OP Ive been there and my best adivce is that you should think positive thoughts.

First thing you need to realize is that the world didn't change at all, and neither did you. You are the exact same person as before except you had a drug induced experience that caused you to see existence in a different light.
When the universe and our meager role in it is shown to use in its most barebones state, it can be extremely overwhelming at first. Seeing the world differently is hard enough, but coming to realizations about yourself is where it really becomes difficult.
You say that you feel overwhelmed by the world and incapable of comprehending what holds it together basically? I know right? Isn't it fucking ridiculous??? Seriously, it really is. The world has come so far, so much has happened and so much more will continue to happen. People live and people die, some impact the course of history and some don't. The wheels on the bus go round and round.
Whether you like it or not, you're a member of this world. I don't know if you're religious, but I certainly am not. I believe that our time on this world is limited, so in that time you might as well make the most of it. Another lesson you learn as you use psychedelics is that humans generally have a lot in common with each other, you are not the only person who feels lost by the world.
Find solace in the fact that you ARE NOT special. You are simply another human, like how a dog is just another dog. You are but one of billions of humans, many of whom have it much worse than you and don't have internet capabilities to go on a drug related message board. Take some pressure off of yourself.
You had a rough trip, everyone on this site has been there. Try to understand that the world is the same as it was before, and so are you. I know its difficult, but you have to continue your daily life and simply do so with this insight in the back of your mind. Use this knowledge you've acquired to further understand the world and find answers to your questions. It gets easier each day that you continue your daily routine, I promise. It takes a while to integrate sometimes but you will be fine

When you are saying they can no longer hold a conversation , what do you mean ? Like they would have nothing to say , nor emphatize with others? I mean , maybe they could do small talk but no longer conversations ? I think I may be like that to due to some drug use but besides lacking emphaty and social skills which I used to have , I have no hallucinations.

Yes, please update us with how you're doing...
I wouldn't consider yourself to be 'damaged', and please don't believe this about yourself. You may be very shaken up, but not permanently damaged. Nothing is permanent.
It's quite common that psychedelics can trigger some kind of existential despair, given their nature it actually makes sense that they do this, they're a very strong soul medicine that can make us question everything we think we know about ourselves.
A strong trip can be such a shock to the system that it's traumatic, so it takes your mind a while to heal from... but it will happen with time. I think a key aspect to this is your perspective, to not see it that you've damaged yourself, but that you've gone through an experience which although difficult may even change you for the better overall. If you're not trusting of the process and believe you've done something bad to yourself, that perspective may not be serving you well. Your perspective on it may naturally change with time.
Let us know how you're feeling, rest assured you're not alone.

After taking LSD over 90 times in under half a year, there have been points where I thought I was going to lose it. I put my focus on things I enjoy like skating and surfing and also smoking. A lot of cannabis lol
