Reversing Damaging Mind Effects With Mushrooms
    #7447660 - 09/24/07 01:16 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Two years ago, my friend persuaded me to take robotussin (DXM) capsules and trip out because it was "fun" (little did I know, yikes.) Well it was the worst I had ever felt in my life. I honestly accepted that I was going to die during that trip, and I had accepted God into my life and asked for forgiveness & everything. It was terrifying. And since then.. I've never been the same. I was always the outgoing, quick-witted class-clown that was nice to everyone and loved life. I had such a connection with myself & the world. I was just a very happy, special person.

And since then, I have been so disconnected from myself. Everything I do or say or see doesn't feel like I'm doing/saying/seeing it. It's terrifying. I basically stay locked up in my room all the time because it is so hard for me to communicate with people now. That has never, ever been a problem for me. That was actually a strong point of mine, I could make connections so strongly with people. Now, everything is like a nightmare. Nothing looks or feels real anymore.

So my question is, since DXM is a DISSOCIATIVE that basically disconnects you from yourself (why oh why didn't I know that before? :frown:), maybe MUSHROOMS can reconnect me & help me find myself back? I'm seriously desperate, I can't live life like this anymore. It is either this method of mushroom reconnection (lol, that's a pretty cool euphonism :grin:) or y'know... death. :frown:

So anyone, please, this would mean a lot if you'd post your thoughts. I hate to sound so desperate and whiney and "whoa is me" but I just can't take feeling this way anymore.

Thanks everyone! Nice to meet you all by the way. :smile:

I don't know what to say ...

Here the choice your gave to yourself is : drugs or death.

I don't know how old you are or what you tried to come back to your old self, but I don't think tripping on shrooms only waiting for the after-effets of bringing you back is a good thing. If nothing special happens you may just feel a whole lot desperate and you might do something you would eventually regret, or make people around you that loves you sad.


--------------------
Shrooms are something any lost human being should try. Why think sober when you can trip and explore your mind out of the consciousness stress.

I don't know what it's worth, but it sounds like to me that the DXM brought out a pre-existing, yet dormant, dissociative disorder. I don't know that more drugs would help "fix" this, but I'm sure you know your own mind a little better than I do. Regardless, from the facts and anecdote that you provided, I'd suggest that you avoid throwing more drugs into the equation. I'll tell you right now that mushrooms aren't going to patch up any loose ends, they'll probably bring more to your attention. Have you tried seeing a therapist? Personality disorders aren't something that should be swept under the rug. If you don't directly deal with it it'll never get any better. It may even get worse.

yeah i had your same problem ..i went crazy at one time and said fuck the world..i took like 16 tripple c's every night and drank robbitussin all the time..and i remember telling myself i was dead...the last trip i did  scared the shit out of me and i wasnt the same for a long time.....so i switched to doing ex and coke everyday lol  ...buutttt then i took shrooms..and it made me realize alot of shit..helped me stop my bullshit and helped me put my life back together

over time you will get better without even touching shrooms..but they will definietly help..unless of course you have a bad trip...just keep positive:thumbup:

I've a feeling I see what's happened here.

You used to be a very happy person. This equates to living life fearlessly... you were untouched by such notions and mindsets that come along with allowing fear into one's life.

The DXM trip shocked you enough to allow open that passageway. You feel different not because of the drug harming you, but because you allowed your mind to succomb to fear, now you're working through the process of trying to eliminate that fear and get back to normal. It can take incredibly long amounts of time, depending on how you go about it.

Mushrooms could possibly help, however, with your mind now sensitized to fear, you might just find yourself in the same position as with the DXM. If this is to work, you're going to need a very high dose that will equate to ego death. This way, your body has no time to fear, and you must succomb not to fear, but unity (which can be mistaken for one another, this is the problem).

You simultaneously exist in heaven and hell. 'Tis your choice which you will dwell in, though this is easier said than done.

I've dealt with a problem similar to yours, not necessarily with DXM (though I have taken DXM)... but with many things. I'll tell you meditation, bodywork, and good food will help your body begin synchronizing with the more loving sphere. Until you've reached the point of happiness without substances, then you will be ready to undertake further work, though you may find it utterly unnecessary once the time is reached.

Just my thoughts.

Sounds like you're having a pretty rough go of things man. I think that you should give mushrooms a try - but don't expect a miracle. Plenty of people have had very spiritual experiences with them, and you could be one of them. If it doesn't happen for you don't give up hope, pick your brain and try to figure out more ways that you could make yourself better...

While I'd personally love to recommend a good mushroom trip, I think that what would help you best is a series of steps.

You're depressed. Yes, everyone gets depressed. Everyone says they're depressed. And depressed is used to define so many different things. But that doesn't change the fact that you're depressed. Now, I'd say the DXM definitely brought out a depressive tendency you likely already had. Truth is, it probably would have happened eventually anyways. The DXM experience just aroused it so that it came up earlier.

My suggestion to anyone with depression who is teetering on the edge is to seek a psychologist's two cents. Not some lame-ass shrink. There's so many psychologists out there with specialties in drug-related disorders. They deal with this often. They can help you figure out what snapped inside your mind. And they can help you rebuild it.

So ya, if you didn't get my drift already, I suggest you look for some help figuring yourself out.

Then if you still can't figure it out. Maybe try the mushrooms then... But until that point, I'd stay away from the drugs because you have at least one problem right now, and there exists the potential for more to come to the surface if they're already bubbling underneath. Psychological disorders (depression is one of these) often come in groups. Identify them and you have solved half the puzzle.


--------------------
Life is just a flashback...


I may have gone a bit too far, I fear
Will I get out of it this time?
What was I thinking, taking this leap
I thought I knew where we would go
If only I knew, I had no idea.
