iv done shrooms a total of 5 times with 3 of the times just being a half eighth. The last two times iv done them, they were a week away from each other and I ate an eighth both times. Its been 5 days since and I have still been feeling confused about life and get kinda anxious. Im not sure if this is a flashback or not but have any of you experienced this and if so, how long does it usually last? Thanks for your help

you should probably just stay away. in my over 100 times, I have never experienced a "flashback".

you are probably just beginning to realize that your mind is much stranger than you thought.
Slow down with the hallucinogens.
3.5 grams is not some mid range dose. Alot of people consider that to be a pretty fuckin freaky dose.
Let your brain chill, and dont obsess about this.
Figure out how to relieve that feeling of pressure, and to understand the confusion.
Some of the best work done with psychedelics are in the weeks and months after the trip.
Forget the word flashback and look at it for what it really is, whatever that may be.
Good luck.

I have always realized how weird the human mind is. It was always something that blew my mind. It just never made me anxious and scared.

So its more strange for you now.
Just dont obsess, you will get over it in no less than 10 more days if you make a sort of weird and uncommon effort to do nothing about it unless the opportunity presents its self.
It sounds uncomfortable.
This is my only advise. I know exactly what you are talking about, and you are going to get over it.
This is a crazy subject though, and you need to lay off the psychedelics for a while and assimilate to your new consciousness. Some doors stay open, and I have a feeling you will learn how to deal with, and even use these changes to actually benefit yourself.

I'm not sure if what you were experiencing was a flashback or not, but I'd generally say if you have a flashback you'll know it. I think most last, from what I've heard/read, for only a few minutes, but I've personally had several that have lasted 2-3 hours.

When you take these psychedelics, you sign a contract.
they wont hold back under any circumstances.
Its your job to learn the language.
They dont just go away after the trip has seemed to boil over back into normal existence.
The boil doesnt work that way.
I wonder how many people actually dont believe that psychedelics grab hold and never let go.
Thats a shame.
this is just a feeling.
It cant go away, because thats you.
New stuff, and a new you. You may like it or not. Its still you.

I am going to have to apologize for Yageman.
Yageman has been afflicted with contract with the devil scenarios for a long time and is not telling the whole truth about that here. that message is his internal demon speaking. (he has a huge one)
psychedelics are not the devil and you do not become a soul-sold agent by taking them. that is christian guilt screaming out from someplace below the elegantly clear mind.
-----------------------------------
the things that psychedelics reveal which are natural become occluded between age of 5 till age of 15. that is 10 years of learning to hide what does not help in the schoolyard, does not help in table manners, does not help in the backseat, and basically does not help unless you are asleep.
the artifacts of sensation - image and sound and touch thought etc. of which I speak are between the frames of perception.
then comes a psychedelic trip and the waking world is recconnected once again with the dreaming world. 10 years of learning are undone in a way. this unlearning is precious, but it is not selective.
you could be left with images or sound artifacts that are normally ignored between frames - between the useful perception frames.
that could take 10 years to regain your teenage skin against completely.
but moodiness, I do not imagine that is part of the flashback unlearned scenario. and it is certainly not a pact with the devil.
the tired confusion would be gone completely in a few days, the longer confusion moodiness or depression could be related to some dissatisfaction with circumstances that you were ignoring and can no longer ignore.
these are not precisely drug related. If it does not go away after 6 months and you want to be considered for depression treatment that is a different story. in the mean time focus on school or what ever your thing is that might better your circumstances (dissatisfaction with being the cause of moodiness).

You are the most far out asshole on this entire site.
That is the single most ridiculous comment I have ever read and it was directed at me, AND you were somehow serious.
None of that is true, I didnt ever say anything like that, you read too far into it because you want to find a reason to slander and fuck with people who are as uncommon as you.
You are a fucking clown, put me on you ignore list because I guess Somehow this all upset you, and you stand by your claim that is seen above.
Im glad I pmed you.
Hopefully you atleast read that you piece of shit.
You know who you are.
Sorry about the honesty.
You are so fucked up.
Just ask syd barret or roky erickson once you are dead and gone.
You simple asshole.
Sorry I was there to confirm the fact that psychedelics can put you in places that are unwanted, and thus you need to deal with those places.
You fucking idiot.
Its as simple as that.
Do I need to write you a poem so that you wont shit on my every word?
Yer an asshole, and in all the wrong places.
Im only an asshole here if I think its funny. Yer just fucked up and want to fire a missile of bullshit at someone you for some reason find to be undesirable.
You are ridiculous at the very least.
Suck on that. Oh ya, youll never see that because you didnt like my pm about how your last post was just gross and all fucked up in many ways.
Serry about you being a slightly articulate baby that "cant read good".

What happened is that psychedelic mushrooms opened up and understanding or a view point of the world that is radically different from what the society made you to precive initially.
After seeing the world the way you did for most of your life, i am sure it must be hard to see the whole picture, or the bigger picture.
I too went through hard times after mushroom trips weeks even months after the experience.
I suggest like others that you take a break and let your mind get use to it.
And no you dont sign contract to devil redgreenvines thats not what yage ment at all in fact hes right on spot in this case. What you wrote just sounds out there in a bad sense.

Ya that was possibly the lowest blow I ever done seen at the shroomery....lol
Too dumb for contemplation. Too mean to take seriously. Too, fucking many things.
Hes a smart guy too, and that makes me sad.

Flashbacks are something that will at least for me never go away. They stay with you almost like a memory. Try remembering your last trip and the way it made you feel. Wonderful times filled with wonder and joy! Never forget these times for they will guide you on your journey!

people can hold onto traumatic experiences. you see it everywhere (with or without drugs) usually when there is a loss of dignity, such as a lover leaving. losing money, breaking a leg in a race, these things can be held onto with tremendous vigor, transforming posture, habit and personality.
some people hold onto drug experiences in this same way, crippling themselves, it is not necessary to carry such baggage.
that is the essence of the demons, not more. to carry a demon, is the same as having a self crippling idea, it becomes a weight, affects thought and posture.
it is not necessary to be so interested in this type of thing;
what I am saying is, that emotional flashbacking is ordinary psychodrama with additional psychedelic embellishment (from memory). It can be as intense as the original experience, and it can be held onto the same way as any grudge, or "defilement" usually related to guilt.
psychedelics can be used to acquaint people with their inner landscape, and to release the entangled feelings. letting go of tension, tightness, imagined threats etc. - this letting go has a lasting benefit.
but there is truth that once you have seen something, you do not forget it easily. there are many areas of the internet that I will avoid looking at again.
every revistitation to an unwanted image strengthens it's connections in memory which is associative.
to loosen the bonds of an image, you relax in its vicinity and become interested in other vicinities.
what you are interested in is what you are

I usually feel pretty funky the day after a heavy trip, and 3.5 grams definitely qualifies.
To the OP, two points: first, ignore the ego war taking place here. Second, your anxiety is totally natural; psychedelics can make you feel uneasy on your foothold in everyday life. The trick is not to think about it pharmacologically ("did I ruin my brain with this drug?" is the wrong way to look at it, and besides I'm quite certain you didn't) but to analyze the sensations themselves; understand when, why, and how you become anxious. You'll probably find it ties directly into an experience on your trips, and once you understand the nature of this anxiety it will dissipate.
You're not having a flashback, it's just taking you some time to adjust to the things you saw from shrooming. They won't go away, they're there in your memory until you die or get amnesia. If you learn to understand what they mean, you will be better off than before you shroomed.
Taking a break from shrooms after this seems like a good idea too. Give it a month or two at least, and if you feel like tripping again, make it a lighter dose so you can get better acquainted. 3.5 grams isn't a heroic dose but it IS pretty heavy.

I've taken acid around 50 times, mushrooms around 30. I have NEVER had a "flashback" or anything like HPPD. I see visuals when I trip, then once I'm down they go away.

But I do know what yageman is talking about.
Psychedelics do open doors. IMO as long as you don't cling helplessly to the "establishment," as long as you don't need your life to be simple and neat, to be what the adults always told you it would be, you will be able to handle any changes psychedelics create.
Because in my opinion the psychedelic state of mind is closer to the objective truth than the mind of an "unenlightened" individual, to use an extremely arrogant term.

Yageman and RGV are both right. Both of them express truth in different manners. Unfortunately for the OP they have some type of personal dispute going on that has carried into this thread.
