I find the more nervous I am going in the more intense (sensory overload) things tend to be idk about other ppl but if I can keep my mind off the come up and not focus on it usually a couple beers help but it dulls the trip a lil on lower doses. But for me a beer buzz is the key to get used to things but lately I been regretting the beer just because with more experience I realize the dulling effect more. I compare it to ppl needing motion sickness pills to get on ships until they get there sea legs so to speak if that makes sense.

Didn't read all the posts. Sorry if this has been said, but sounds like the mushrooms are trying to get you to face something in your life that needs to be addressed. 

Try some lemon balm tea, it will sooth the anxiety and maybe make it a little easier to see what you need to acknowledge without having such a rough go that you can only focus on your misery.

And don't forget, don't fight it.  Let go and let them take you where they want to take you.  I don't know what that stuff is you said you were taking but I would abstain from anything supplements or nutrients and just have a normal diet for 2 weeks.  During that time, do some research on lemon balm tea and order the leaves off ebay. Once you get those supplements out of your system and have your lemon balm tea ready, dose again and be prepared to let go and navigate to where the mushrooms take you.

Dont expect anything.  Don't anticipate anything.  Drink your tea, dose, relax and do something you enjoy during the come up and just go with the flow once they set in.

I enjoy watching movies alot.  Something visual and fun.  It's like an adventure to me! Especially something you have never seen or aren't very familiar with.  If you know every scene in the movie, it's just basically watching the pretty colors, but if your unfamiliar with it, it's a whole different experience.

Man, I don't know what kind of weird luck I have, but...
Ever since I started tripping, if I happen to find myself watching television, without fail, it will be something so god damn bizarre that I'm just stunned by awkward and uncomfortable amazement.

For instance, most recently: The Calendar: How to Use It
Obviously, the MST3K guys know how to dig up some really weird content. But still. This one was painfully uncomfortable and I also could not stop watching.

I will say - while I am absolutely amazed by television in terms of engineering and cultural development/achievement, I'm always very relieved once I turn it off.

On 4g dried cubensis and above, my switched off tv screen comes alive with geometric hallucinations of its own! If there’s no music physically playing, you’ll also hear audio from the tv! Try it brother.

Hello fellas. Got a nice update for you :smile:

So I skipped the CBD as someone suggested because I agree, that's sort of numbing and I felt like I needed to sort through something.

Well, all I can say is that this trip was a huge success.

3.5g, weighted blanket, headphones, psychadelic playlist, blindfold, meditation. And something else helpful that someone told me, to have a mantra. Mine was "you are safe, just let go". So when things got hairy, I would say that and take a deep breath and man did that help.

The headphones and blindfold came off after a couple of hours once I came to a bunch of realizations because I needed to write down what I had found out and chat with a friend about it.

It turns out I had some repressed memories/emotions that I have apparently been holding onto for most of my life since childhood. They have to do with the way I was raised and my relationship with my father and how that is now impacting my own kid. There were other things I wrote down as well, but this was a huge step forward for me overall. I'm so glad I had the courage to push through with this! I highly recommend this configuration for anyone who ends up with "bad trips" at higher doses. It may just be that you need this setting to help you to come to some sort of realization with yourself that is hard to grapple with.

I will note that right before all of these revelations my body was fighting me. It was bringing on a lot of discomfort and making me feel anxious and upset. Thus is the nature of repressed memories, you are protecting yourself from yourself. I repeated my mantra, relaxed, pushed through and just felt the discomfort and dealt with it. After I cleared the discomfort all was revealed. It's difficult, but not impossible! This was not a "bad trip", I don't believe in those. It was hard but it's probably one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time and was just what I needed.

Thanks to all of you for your advice and encouragement!!

Cheers!



Yo man, that's awesome! I'm so glad you were able to let go and enjoy the experience for what it is. I too, do deal with difficult shit about every time I trip (usually only when I'm alone) - I get into the terrible thoughts about myself.. all the bad I've done, the terrible things I've said to people - it makes me relive all these repressed moments of life where I was just a horrible human.

At that point, all I want to do is hug my mom, tell her I love her. Tell a stranger that they're beautiful. Just love. Because of how terrible I've been to people at times. (I'm no worse than the average joe), weve all said things that we don't mean, and have let anger take the best of us.

But.. the mushrooms bring those past choices to surface and it's an emotion rollercoaster, feeling like a deep dark pit I fall down. I eventually get out of it.. it SUCKS when it happens, but once its over it shows me, I just need to LOVE.

I need to be nice go people. Compliment a stranger. Nothing that's asking too much. We're all able to do this. Try to let anger not take the best of you. These have all been lessons I have learned during my most emotional/difficult trips. But you sure do learn a lot about yourself.

Anyway, I'm more than happy you rode the wave and you're here to this day a better person because of your experience! Happy for you brother.

:cheers:

One of the Biggest things that has helped me to have a good experience every single time I dose is to Set your Intentions! You can do this simply by having a toast before you ingest any mushrooms.

For me I like to have different experiences. Sometimes I want knowledge and sometimes I just want to have a good time with the people around me. So I would have a toast something like this- "Here's to a Good time with my friends, Love, knowledge and Beautiful Thoughts!"
Then when I take the dose I let that intention go and have faith that the trip im about to enter is a good world set up for myself.
Now when a split starts to appear (chance for the trip to turn dark or bad) That intention will come back to me and I can take control and say to myself "I came to have a good time with friends with love knowledge and beautiful thoughts" and just that will set me straight.

Good luck my friend! Hope it all goes well for you!
