I'm getting acid later tonight. I've never done it before. I'm doing it with people I trust, and in a house where everything's safe. The friends I'm doing it with have done shrooms before. There will be one sober person, to make sure everything is all right. I just have a few questions, and things I would like to say. My father has bipolar. I'm wondering since he has bipolar, if I do acid, will that trigger psychosis, in me or something? I am actually quite a smart person. I'm 18 years old. My IQ is around 135. I consider myself having a strong mentality. I'm also a pretty laid-back and mellow person. I smoke cannabis everyday (and I love it, not addicted, could stop at anytime). I don't know if this has anything to do with this or not, but I love dreaming (when sleeping). My dreams are extremely realistic. As if I'm actually living them in real-time. I never have nightmares (used to when I was younger). My dreams almost always end in a good outcome. I actually have physical feelings in my dreams. Sometimes I have dreams of future things to come. I sleep with music on. Earlier today I woke up and started singing a part of a song that was not on the radio, only to fall half-asleep. I woke about a minute later and the song I sung started playing on the radio. Not really surprising though, things like that happen a lot. Sometimes I think when I am sleeping I am still concious, just in a different reality. I like it. When I was very young, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Took many meds, but nothing changed me. Then it turns out I am undaignosed with it. Then I was diagnosed with ODD. Was also undiagnosed with that. I was seeing a psychiatrist for a few years. They never figured out if there was anything wrong with me. They just said I needed direction in life. Saying there was nothing mentally wrong with me. Used to be depressed, but not really anymore. I do have a tendency to over-worry about things. Just wondering If I would be fine doing acid. It sounds like a lot of fun. I've read much about it, and I really want to experience it. Also, I don't want to have a bad trip.
The only thing to possibly worry about with what you listed is the bipolar, but chances are if you're 18 and don't show any signs yet, you're fine. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to have fun, and try to get so lost in your own head you can't come back.
Well, you're already filled with fear which isn't a great place to start, but there is one important key and one thing only which will ensure a beautiful trip, and that is "being here now." Enjoy the present moment. Enjoy your friends, enjoy the music, enjoy the outdoors. Don't think too much. As long as you don't think too much, you'll have a great time
You should have a pretty swell time, but if you do happen to think to much of anything, get reasurrance from a friend, it always helps. Even in the very improbable chance that psychosis would happen, your in a house, with friends and all that jazz. Put on some good music, and you should be fine.
