Why Can I Just Not Get Comfortable?
    #26851390 - 07/29/20 08:47 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lately in the past 2-3 trips I have had (All the same dose of only 2.5) I just can't get comfortable.

I spent the majority of my trip in the same location which is laying on my bed semi propped up so I can view my tapestry on the wall while my dog chills by my side for the duration of my trip.

I swear I work harder adjusting my pillows and trying to get my neck and head comfortable more than I do at my actual job lol.

Has anyone else had this issue? It didn't annoy me the entire time but my god it was quite the pain the the ass.

1 pillow or 100 pillows I just could not get comfy.

Thoughts?

I just want to be comfortable so I can relax but I feel overly sensitive to body positioning

the body is your most critical interface.

on the one hand,
you have to practice relaxing, including relaxing when you have an itch, and not scratching, i.e. reducing your knee jerk reactions to irritation and discomfort. so practice gently not reacting to what is sensed as a minor irritation.

on the other hand,
the body will have valid complaints, tensions, sore joints, sore muscles, food interactions, hair in your face or elsewhere, so you need a way of 1-grooming, and 2-exercising the kinks out.

once you get stoned, your habits will take over, so make good habits in advance, and just breathe through your experience when it is difficult: breathing can be effective even without practice, but practice makes it easier.

I sort of get this too and the solution has been simply to do stuff instead, since the moment I sit still I begin to feel something sooner or later being uncomfy and then more things but when something is going on this doesn't seem to become an issue.

My plan is to try and meditate and get lost in the void but I have been having some difficulty here haha.

I like this!! I think pratice may make perfect. It's more tension in my head and neck than anything else. Maybe I can practice getting comfy on a regular basis before I trip again.

As much as I want to be running around and doing other stuff tripping hasn't been a complete solo journey. I have my dog with me and she can get a little stressed out at times. I help keep her calm and when things get rough she knows when to step in and make me feel better. Shes a true hero

I think now that I am single I just want to focus on myself and my pup.

Haha I used to take 1/8s but I'm trying to take my time here. I actually had quite an amazing experience on 2.5. Which I swear I always tend to come back to this dose for some reason. In time I'll increase the dose but I got more time on my hands then I know what to do with. I like pacing myself since I'm basically starting over

Are you fidgety in your normal life? Maybe a meditation practice will help. Also if you exercise before hand, your body might be more ready to relax and not be so restless.

Lol that's my suggestion. Take a higher dose. That way you won't even be bothered by the physical body anymore.

I do meditate everyday for 15 mins.

Especially right before I dose I do a 15 min routine.

I think I just get overly excited

Could be, which might be matter of physical activity before hand to burn off the physical energy.

Maybe your trip is tell you to get up and walk or something

IME your dosage is too low, this is a very typical sort of low-dose problem - like having an itch you just can't scratch.  Try upping it a gram or two and see what happens.  You'll soon reach a point where those issues fall far behind. :cookiemonster:

Mmmmm so don't explore more of the same dose? I mean there is always something to learn even if the dose is 2.5gs.

I'm not opposed to dosing higher I'm just trying to milk it a bit. 3gs would be my next step up

Explore? There's a lot more territory out there.  :snoopyes:

IME underestimating a dose never paid off except in a feeling of discontent.  Ramp it up in discrete steps.

Here's what you can do though - prepare ahead of time an additional dose to re-up with at about an hour or so in if you're feeling uncomfortable.  It's easier to dose higher than you would normally if you're already in it, but it will add to the experience.  Kind of a stepping stone approach. But be careful not to overdo it.

Muscle tension. I end up moving around a lot when I'm high. Not in a weird way but something just using your body is enough to relieve the restlessness. Stretching, checking stuff out, flexing muscles. I've gone on a lot of walks just because of this. It's just muscle tension and energy. You have to work out how to cope with or have a different perspective on it. I always find the weirdest positions comfortable when I'm fried. I keep a stash of interesting little "toys" too and this helps distracting from discomfort or resetting yourself so to speak. Minerals/gemstones and my Hoberman sphere are my favourites :awehigh: and the stretchy banana :lol:

Sometimes all you can do is make the mind comfortable

Add some Syrian Rue/Harmalas to it, they help you to relax physically, trust me, it'll help. Other than that, try mixing some sort of herbal tea with the mushrooms, like Lemon Balm or Peppermint or Chamomile or Passion Flower, etc, try out different herbs in combination with the mushrooms. Idk why not many people do that, it changes up the flavor of the medicine/experience and can be quite beneficial.

A good workout is probably a good idea. That way you force your body into a more relaxed state.

  But I definitely get this sort of feeling when I dose low. Work your way up. I understand that you feel comfortable at 2.5  but that's just playing with tip of the iceberg of things to explore. Now, I'm not saying jump to 5g or anything but an eighth might give you what you are looking for.

Don't get me wrong I was taking 1/8s all the time. I took 3gs last month and just did not feel comfortable. Had that violated feeling if you know what i mean. Ugh whew I hope someone knows what the hell I'm talking about. After about 4-5 hours it was like a magic button was pressed and I felt 100%

Crazy how I felt weird as hell for that long only to feel normal at the very end for the rest of the night. Insane
