Bad Trip
    #27004312 - 10/26/20 09:58 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I did shrooms for the first time a few months ago and the trip was nothing other than awful. I had to busted out my house and bolted into the woods to try to calm down. I won’t go into details due to it taking too long but overall it was the single worst experience of my life. Around I week later I tried again at a lower dose and had the same outcome. Now I’ve realized I haven’t came back yet. I saw myself in the mirror a few times and it was scarring. My face haunts me to this day. I see it everywhere I go. I see the outlines of people in my peripheral and I look then no ones there. I don’t know what to do. I can’t escape it. When I look away from mirrors it feels like my face is still there. Always staring at me. This isn’t a joke or some kind of story to scare anyone. I told this to only my therapist. He said if it continues he recommends I get treated as such. I just want to go back. I truly think I died on that trip. I have a lot of states of confusion and anxiety. I don’t exactly have friends and I just need someone to talk to who will listen. I tried to talk to people that I once considered friends but per usual I see the disinterest in their faces. No one will listen.

That definitely sounds like a psychedelic PTSD, I've had some bad experiences that I struggled to overcome for a long time. Feel free to DM me if you need someone to talk to personally!

It depends. IF you don't follow proper preparation for set and setting, then yes, they can happen often. If you do have the right mindset (both long-term and short term) and are in a comfortable space with nothing that you can perceive as a threat (such as in a quiet place in nature) then your odds are a lot lower. If you do have a difficult experience, you are a lot better prepared to learn and grow from it.

The best thing you can do is give yourself time to integrate after each trip... For some that's 3 months and for others its 3 years or more. I've had awful experiences that I would never ever want to experience again, but ultimately they have changed me so much more than my positive experiences.
They brought characteristic flaws that I was hiding and pretended didn't exist and it pulled those out and slapped me across the face with them. If it weren't for that, id be a lot worse of a person, doing a lot of hateful spiteful things that I was doing before.

That being said, a positive experience can be really amazing. My most positive experience has given me a much much greater appreciation for the absolute beauty of nature. These trips are quite common for those that have learned their dose, have their mindset correct, and never trip in a bad setting.

Lucii, I always have great apprehension before a trip because of the memory of bad ones I've endured. It's a wild thing opening yourself up in that way, the flood gates are open.

The strange thing is all my awful trips have been not very "psychedelic". In these experiences I feel unbearable dread and anxiety my surrounding, me and the world feel horrible. Even thinking about it effects me now. The first time this happened was in 2007 and I didn't trip again for many years. 

Recently I have been practicing breath work (holotropic and wim hoff) whenever I feel that panic, fear or anxiety I remind myself that the fear reaction can only last so long 15min's usually until the body metabolizes it. As long as I know I'm not in real danger and trust it will pass the breath work really helps me get through it.

Hope you are doing well.

What were the dosages you took?

Were the places you were taking the mushrooms a safe place?

How long has it been at this point since your last trip?

Is it still continuous or does it come and go?
