Lost interest in living... (need help for next time)

That's basically how I felt during the comedown of my trip..
The beginning parts were definitely fun, but once It peaked, my mind was drawing a blank, I wasn't able to do much besides sit there idly and keep repeating my thoughts. I also found it impossible to become interested in the world around me, almost like I was just sitting there waiting for the trip to end.. Even music was not appealing to me at this stage..
is there some sort of meditation I can try that would maybe help me out? Also, could smoking weed have magnified the effect too greatly and made it a bad trip?

Sound s like you were meditating on what you were meditating on at the time to me.

There's a few more details.. I was sorta trying too hard to understand what I was feeling and it just left me too scared to be interested in the world around me I think.
Also, the next day I tried smoking weed. And i started experience shroom -like visuals again.. They got pretty strong and it was quite unsettling until I just accepted it.
Is that normal for the first time the day after shrooming or may this keep happening and now i'm fucked?

Did you have less of an interest in the world before you at the mushrooms. (example... depression)??

And i doubt that you will have a permanent side effect towards weed now.

I don't think i'm depressed. And I was psyched up for so long about taking the shrooms. It was just that once the effects got to me, I wasn't able to enjoy them for some reason, it may have been that I was trying to but failing to see open and closed eye visuals, even from an eigth. But i definitely lost care of my physical being as well, like I forgot about my life almost.

I think the reason I had a bad trip was because I was resisting the effects of the drug...
I have this horrible feeling of unfullfillment now though that's just making me feel like shit.

yeah, resisting the effects of the drug you have consumed usually turns out with a bad ending.

The first time I ate a full eighth of shrooms I felt about exactly the same. After the comedown I distinctly remember laying in my dorm room alone thinking over and over again "*this* is life???". It was literally a life changing experience that set off a depressive episode that took two years and tons of work both with and without drugs to finally overcome. I believe I had "uncovered latent psychological crisis" like the harm reduction sites all talk about.
I hope this isn't the case for you, psychedelics can do profound things to the unprepared mind and catch even the most experienced off guard from time to time. Over the course of my experience I've found that the best cure for a bad trip is a good trip as soon as possible. This works for ME but I really can't recommend it for everyone just like psychedelics work for me but I can't recommend them for everyone. You need to find what works for you and go from there. You'll be alright, just remember the way you felt before the bad trip and try and put yourself back in that headspace. Sure, much, very much, easier said than done, but still doable.
Work it out, start over, try again, keep trying, solve your puzzle.

To answer your question: smoking most certainly could have negatively effected your trip. It definitely intensifies the trip, so I'd try to stay away from it while tripping in the future- I always say this, but I'll say it again: shrooms are powerful enough on their own. Respect them. You don't need to smoke while tripping.
As for the weed and visuals: it isn't uncommon to have marijuana induce strong visuals very shortly after tripping. They'll go away, and I can almost guarantee you won't experience the visuals tomorrow if you try smoking. But hey- free visuals, what's so unsettling about that? 
Lastly, it isn't uncommon to feel a little lost the day after tripping. You will return to normal, so keep your head up, try to identify where the sadness is coming from and of course feel free to PM me if you would like to chat more in depth about it (as I feel I have experienced similiar trips)...

lost interest in living? thats not the shrooms bro, thats you missing out on your purpose (remember, you create your purpose). a good shroom trip might help you to some degree ,but its bigger than that. think about what you enjoy in a very broad sense and figure out a way to do something constructive with it, ie. make money (hey it works for most people).
if you only feel that way during the comedown and are happy and content after the trip dismiss that ^^^ .
lots of sound advice in the thread

I had something similar once after my 5th trip. But it was kind of weird because the thoughts didn't occur until a week after the trip and lasted about 3-4 days, just not knowing what to do. It didn't last long and I think the best thing to do is work through the feelings rather than trying to avoid them. Lie down in a dark room and think about it. That's what I did.
And weed can induce visuals the day after a visual mushroom trip. I got the exact same room breathing effects from space cake the day after a my first visual mushroom trip.

too muc thinking is bad for you. espically when you think of bad shit.
be careful, and be better minded next time.
-------------------- At times I get consumed by my everyday life and will leave the Shroomery. Yet, every time drugs come falling into my life for fun.....I always think about the Shroomery and then I'm back!
