do you just have a feeling of losing control? or did you actually? sorry if i'm being too invasive, just lemme know if i am, but- would you mind going into more depth about what you've been experiencing? a lot of people (including myself) feel pretty different after taking psychedelics. i haven't tripped in months but i still feel pretty strange.
i thought i thought, i felt i felt... but nothing happened in the real sense. the imagination is very powerful, and is capable of effecting the behavior of the individual in great ways. it can only wield this power if the individual has allowed it to overtake their own mind, thus fracturing the mind into multiple paradoxical realms, often bewildering and alienating the individual, and resulting in a frantic neurosis. your troubles, my friend, are due to you being weak of mind. you've let your perceptions muddle Truth. strengthen your mind by calming it, focus on the ever-present energy of now, realize that nothing has changed, and bring your mind into single-pointedness. then watch the illusions fall away... ...mushrooms haven't done anything except set you on a path of trials with the purpose of challenging your mind, because it is weak. when you overcome these trials, your mind will gain strength, and you will see that all of your troubles were illusory, and for not.
my friend, your feeling psychotic has nothing to do with any psychotropic chemical you may have ingested, i assure you. your laying the blame on drugs as a scapegoat, when in fact your troubles originate in your own mind. it is you who has chosen, in your own mind, to characterize certain experiences, feelings and thoughts, as psychotic or abnormal or insane, as the by-product of a drug you have taken. so you see, it is your mind that assigns the meaning and quality to these experiences/feelings/thoughts, making your mind infinitely stronger than the transient effects of any drug. the things of the external/physical realm have no real bearing on the state of your mind, it is you who decides what bearing and weight these things have upon your mind. therefore, all you have to do is simply decide that these troubles are not troubles at all, and never were, because they have no bearing upon your one-mind, your single-pointed awareness, which remains unchanged because it cannot be seen, approached, or touched by the physical realm. it is still and calm always, breathing in and breathing out. be well friend.
well i have been told several times psychs arent for everyone... So maybe they werent for you and they really fucked you up. Did you tell your doctor you did them?
I think Green spectral pretty much said it: The mind is capable of anything, just relax, you're here now to be alive and live and all the pain and psycosis inside is illusury, fuck doctors, try meditation, look it up on the web. I believe you're the only one who can find the way, try looking within, all the answers are there if you care to find them.
at some point, somewhere, you probably got the idea that there is a certain way to experience life, that there is a definitive way to view the world and you've detracted from it somehow. that's not the case. you're experiencing things the way you will, you're just the chemicals in your brain. there's nothing else to it, you think you can look at yourself and criticize but you can't, because it's all just you. that's illusion. you don't observe your thoughts, they aren't controlled by anything. you are your thoughts. you're all you can know, and your world is whatever it is. try not to worry too much about what you think it should be and trust in your own awareness. everything falls into place. worrying constantly about your own perceived dysfunctions are just going to keep your head wrapped in something that doesn't even exist, and you'll miss the fact that there's a whole world moving on. be a part of it. that's just my opinion anyway.
if you ARE bipolar, whether you ate the mushrooms or not it would eventually come out [maybe triggered by a stressful event]. BUT.. if you ask me, i'd never heard of mushrooms actually triggering any mental disorder =/ furthermore, psychedellics in general are very mind-fucking; that is why i don't have and will never have the desire to do them. have you heard of flashbacks ..? maybe you have some kind of manifestation of that. anyhow, the best thing to do would be to preoccupy yourself with something =] when you feel terror coming upon you, just think of something pleasant.. or do some breathing exercises. i think most people who do drugs of any kind do SOMETHING to their brains, open some doors.
My mind has quieted a little since ive taken mists advice,i feel a little better but im still filled with regret,i think it will go away with time. I just have to learn how to move on and forget about my past mistakes. Is there anyway to delete everything ive posted on this forum? Or is everything on the internet for good?
