Survivors of bad trips

I was just wondering how many of you have gone through bad (terrible) trips and have come out with no mental damage? I'm sometimes worried about what ive heard. Any one gone through ego loss or death without any sort of damage?
thank you in advance for all posts.

I've only had one bad trip. And it was the most important moment of my life. Let's just say I played cards with a devil for 3 hours while stuck in a rundown cabin, in the middle of nowhere, in the beginning of June, while it was snowing.
I thought for sure my soul was in hell and that I wasn't coming back... I was CONVINCED of that. I'm not sure how many people can relate to how serious I thought it was.
But I have no mental damage from it all. Just a better understanding of reality and how our beliefs affect it.

"I've only had one bad trip. And it was the most important moment of my life"
Me too. Well, bad parts to many trips, but that's what it's all about. Bad trips can be great.
"I was just wondering how many of you have gone through bad (terrible) trips and have come out with no mental damage?"
Many, Many people here have had bad trips. Terrifying, thinking you are at your last breath of life. It's an amazing experience looking back. Ego loss is *not* a bad thing. It's one of the most amazing things psychedelics offer.
Damage would be extremely unusual for just having a bad trip. If it scares the shit out of you for a very long time, PTSD perhaps. Not common though.

I've had my share, I always have partial bad trip, but mostly good. Only once was my brain and body seriously shocked for a whole week after a bad trip, and that was because it was a level 4 or so, and it got extremely intense, at one point I was 100% sure I was going to die.

I wouldn't exactly call it 'survivors' of bad trips, seeing that most people generally always survive them, but I guess if you're talking about mentally...

I've only had one trip where I was freaked out the whole time. All the other times its a really good trip, and it starts to go bad, then I meditate or walk and it goes away. Walking is a good way to get that anxiety of your chest, and your mind off thinking crazy. You get a quick enough change in scenery to keep up with your enhanced thinking to keep you pretty entertained and sane. I've used walking many a times to sober up while shrooming. Laying down somewhere comfortable (sometimes its hard to get that way), and closing your eyes and concentrating on the slideshow of imagery, trying to manipulate and morph your images, you can used that like meditation to get away from your negative thought loops. If your having one of those "Heaven, to Hell, to richard simmons basement" kind of trips, then your only options would be put your head betwen your legs and call for mommy or give in and listen to what the mushroom has to say. Sometimes they just happen, and as painful as they are, they teach you the most, so do remember to listen to them.

I'd say 99% of people mentally survive them too.
Even the most absurd, demonic trips I've seen people have, where they're spitting all over people, screaming in tongues or jerking off in front of their parents.
Heh, one such case, when the person came down, they just said. "Okay guys, see ya later." with no apparent recollection, and was fine instantly.
If a trip sends you into permanent psychosis, I'd say you very likely had an underlying mental illness. This doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. Those cases are still quite serious, even if not caused by psychedelics alone. Especially keep this in mind if you're younger. Many mood and personality disorders might not begin to be fully apparent until 17-22 years of age. Just a thought.

would i know if i had a mental disorder. At times i do feel a bit bi-polar when tripping, though that may just be do to the drug.

You'll want to edit that first sentance if you want to stick around here. (probably too late).
It's normal to feel mentally unsound while tripping. It's kind of the point.
And no, you wouldn't neccesarily know if you had a disorder at this point. Things come out later in life.

I've had some bad trips where I never thought I would escape and was locked inside psychedelic hell for many hours. I always came out of it to trip another day though. Take the good with the bad. No permanent damage has ever been done though, even with the bad trips.

I've had only one real bad trip, it was off MDA. I thought I went schizophrenic for about 3 hours. Holy shit that was scary. I was actually tired for once while on E so I just laid in bed and went to sleep, woke up and I was fine.

I've thought I've gone too far, was never going to come back, that I was going to do something stupid like jump off a building and fall to my death. I'd randomly drop to all fours and pound the ground to ensure it was still under me. I'd curl up in a corner terrified it was really 3 days later and I'd be comming to (if at all) in a pile of my own vomit and piss, or in a hospital, or in jail - but too out of it to realize where I was.
and you know? it was/is also one of my best/favorite mushroom trips - as the heights it took me to were also stellar and amazing.
as far as I can tell, I have no damage - and if there is any, I'm enjoying it :P

Stop being such a pussy. Im sure half the people on this forum including me have gone through terrible trips and came out of it the same. In fact many of my extremely bad trips have toughened me up and I came out of alot of them stronger than I was before.
Ive learned that these terrible trips can give you the skills to deal with really shitty experiences in life whether your tripping or not.

I once took 4 hits of acid (3rd time to do it, friends said it was weak, so i dosed a lot, but then they call after i dose and tell me it just takes a while to kick in) and situationally had to lay in a bed in a room alone all night... Time seemed like it wasnt passing, and i was stuck in udder delerium + hysteria + dymensia nad felt like the only thing that helped was to laugh like someone in straight jacket would in a nuthouse. The only thing that kept me going is the thought that if i could surrvive this, i could surrvive anything.
The next morning i drove for about an hour, and was still tripping kinda, but things were back to almost normal again... and it was the most beautiful thing i had seen in a while... and i am stronger and not damanged...
Ive had ppl tell me though that theyve seen things which they will never forget and forever be terrified of in memory... so i donno...

Bad trips are the ones which will change your outlook on life for the better.
Dont let your ego bitch you around. Let your spirit know whats up.
Ive gone through a "hell" trip, and I came out of it just fine! Well... except for the 10 stitches I had to get on my hand...

Ive gone through a few bad trips and gotten through them greatly. i NEVER let a trip effect me in a bad way... whether it be a negative or positive trip, it always effects me in a good way. I know what a bad trip is. i know how it happens, and I'm not scared.there is a way around every negative feeling in your mind, whether you are tripping or sober.
last time i tripped it was the most intense experience of my life. it was lots of fun, but then things got tense... probably because of the sober people we were with. the trip turned inward so quickly i didn't know what to do about it. at that moment, i knew what it felt like to be COMPLETELY looney. i just wanted to walk off and disappear from the world. but i calmed myself down which in turn made my trip 1000 times better. whenever you are at a point of not liking the effects, you cannot fight it. thats the biggest mistake. you need to lay down by yourself and focus on breathing, listen to headphones too.This is what i think to myself when I'm in a bad moment- 'You are having anxiety and you are on a psychedelic... you have the power to choose your own destiny, so how do you want to feel?' and things turn for the better... if it doesn't help i know that i will be back to normal the next day.
when tripping, i can now think about a bad trip and it wont effect me.its like the bad trip is in a big orb that i am protected from... if the orb ever pops in my face, i am prepared to handle the situation with the unlimited powers of the mind.

All of my trips usually have some bad moments, especially when I get bored. However, the worst trip ever was when I took an eigth and then got diarrhea in the middle of the city. The paranoia of possibly shitting yourself is bad enough sober, but when you can't think rationally, it's horrible. I walked into a McDonalds but there was a long line for the bathroom, and then my vision started getting white and hazy; you may know what I'm talking about, it happens when you're really sick or about to faint. Anyway, I defecated and regrouped with my friends who were also tripping, and we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge at dusk, with the moon up and the city lit and visible, and it immediately became the best trip of my life. Everyone got philosophical and was so blown away by the experience and was thanking me for providing the shrooms; we all bonded and it was a good ego boost.

i feel your pain man. i used get this feeling every time i smoked weed. i used to run away and hide in peoples gardens and try to appear nonchalant.eventually i got a reputation as "the guy who thinks he's going to shit himself every time he get's stoned"
but i got over it. and i find myself a better person for the whole experience.
stay strong.

btw I agree with your point about being able to will yourself into a good trip...I recently did acid in the peak of oxycodone withdrawl and I made the impossible possible...I enjoyed myself...something I thought was just not possible in bad opiate withdrawl
I don't recommend this btw if it turned bad(which is fairly likely) it could leave u tramautized

I've had one terribly bad trip on acid, at the time i thought that i was invincible and would never have a bad trip, damn...i was wrong, and sorry for it. The good thing about it was that it gave me a great deal of respect for any phsycedelics, and now whenever i want to trip i think about everything thats going on in my life and decide if its wise to trip and 4 outta 5 times i decline to take the trip. I probably trip about once every 2 to 3 months. All in all, i believe lot of maturity and respect can come from a bad trip..

Bad trips are different for every person. Some people can pull out them easily while others are consumed by them. I had a bad trip, really bad trip, where I panicked. I was not 100% familiar with what to expect and as a result lost complete control. This resulted in anxiety in my sober life because of the experience. I have tripped since and feel confident that I can control my emotions more, but that trip will live with me for the rest of my life.
Messing with your mind can have very adverse effects in your sober life and should be taken seriously. Point being, do not mess with the power of the mind.
Bellylard, I am very interested to hear what you are experiencing. Is it anxiety or something more?

whenever some one is afraid of dying on psychedelics, it is not the being who is going to die, tis only the ego. our being identifies with/attaches to the ego and when the ego is threatened our being can identify with it and suffer through the ego's death or it can let go and surrender the useless portion of our whole-selves, the ego. our being can never die, it is constantly transforming just like the universe. now our bodies are another story, they give out all the time, but our being lives on.
i have never had a "bad" trip, only intense trips. this is b/c i know the drug will only act upon me for a short amount of time. anything difficult that comes up; thought loops, anxiety, scary visuals(havn't gotten any of those myself) will be gone with the drug as it leaves my systom.

Most of the trips I've had on mushrooms were bad, at least the first two hours cause of the anxiety+body load. Then I started taking xanax and I stopped having bad trips. I used to almost always end up in the corner feeling like complete shit, scared outta my mind. Another time I was in the forest, it was pitch black and I felt so shitty I just wanted to leave so I started walking away from my friends cause I wanted to lay down away from everyone and goto sleep, they asked me were the fuck I was going, so I went back. All through this I was having ego death as well and people were talking to me and I didn't know what they were saying, I didn't even know my name. The worst mushroom trip wasn't as scary as my best DMT trip though, DMT just scares the shit outta me, and when I tried it on LSD it really kicked my dick in the dirt. Mind blowing experience, but so is death, doesn't mean I'm gonna stick a gun in my mouth.

i have had one BAD trip on mushrooms.
it was my fourth time shrooming and i ate 2.5 grams.
i went to a local park with my friends and was in a bad mind set during the come up of the trip.
i soon started throwing up in the park and yelling at my friends to drive me back home.
they took me to the car, stayed park and we just relaxed listening to bob marley.
i eventually came down but quite thankfully i dont remember much of the bad trip itself, so i never had any "emotional scarring" from it.
i did however learn to cherish the simple concept of "going with the flow"

Personally, I beleive that bad trips occaisonally cause long-term anxiety problems. If you take a look at how many people on this site suffer from anxiety problems its ridiculous (myself included). Dont get me wrong Im not some anti-drug activist or something I just think these drugs are definetly not for everyone and you can never tell if they're right for you or not until you've tryed them and sometimes 1 time is all it takes. It also seems pretty logical seeing as how everybody here has probably never had more anxiety than during a psychedelic or psychoactive drug experience

i've had a couple bad ones. some were just rather uncomfortable and i wanted them to end. only one was a full-blown panic adrenaline fight or flight demon war hellride. they were all my fault. bad trips are 95% avoidable.

they are. set, setting and dose.
if you are healthy and feeling good physically, your mind is at peace, you are in a positive, engaging, safe environment, and you take a reasonable dose, i really don't see how a bad trip is even possible.
describe your typical tripping conditions. what do you do to prepare? where do you trip? with whom? what do you do during the trip?

I think a lot of bad trips that leave a negative impact on ppls lives are probably ptsd...anxiety is a bitch and will wreak havok on your life once its introduced(and will make u question everything including yoru own beliefs and sanity)
this would also explain flashbacks actually

Bad trips are incredibly overplayed IMO. Yeah they suck, but it's an experience like everything else and there's always a little to gain from it. I've never regretted one the next day.
I've had a couple though and am still 100% totally sane and normal. No PTSD, hppd, flashbacks, dp/dr, nothing. I'm not saying it never happens, but I feel like those scare stories might have a little bit more to them than just the bad trip

I've had bad trips and I'm perfectly fine. Egoloss isn't necessarily a bad thing or necessarily part of a bad trip either.

I had insomnia at one point and i let a friend pressure me into drinking 4g mushtea after a few days of no sleep, I was already in a disjointed state of mind, but when the trip sunk its teeth in i became a completely different being, I tried to attack my friend and after that ripped out into the winter night with no winter clothing or boots in a wild frenzy. It was alot like a possession, and previous to the trip I always felt that spirits were just reflections of our growing psyche, the mass memory of life, but this felt as if a very distinct type of outer personality with pre formed characteristics was puppeting my body, I tried to break into several homes and threw myself into the side of a passing bus, my brain felt as though it were many different swirling sections of spacial plasma and images and feelings that felt like memories were from another life were swimming around like that. Eventually some people called the police as I was sitting on thier front porch swinging my head around, I had also pissed myself which turned into pisscicles down my pants. When the cops came to pick me up they asked my name and date of birth, at this time I had begun to come down, but I was speechless to these questions, it was the most absurd thing to see the look of amazement on the officers face when I couldnt answer, these little noises mean something to you I thought, everyone seemed so incredibly pinned down and demure looking out through my bulging pupils. For some reason I was treated really well by the police, they just drove me home and dumped me there, no muss, I looked destroyed and freezing with no memory of my name or date etc.. My friend didnt hold it against me about attacking him later, he said my eyes looked like a demon had jumped through them. I had a limp for awhile because of the bus, but other than that no resdiual ill effects - these negative experiences are so intense and different that they often can create positive retrospections if one has it in them to learn, but its a mental intensity, of control and consciousness not necessarily of physical or neurological damage
The lesson, these trips are powerful and you must be prepared to face alien energy states, dont go in when your sick,tired,unprepared,out of place or with ignorant people
