Can anyone help me decipher my LSD Trip?

What was your LSD trip like?
I took LSD and I got really scared.. I felt as if my mind was controlling me more so than my body. I convinced myself that I didn't feel pain and that my body didn't matter. My friends pinched me because I couldn't feel anything.. I thought things happened twice, like time moved back and forth. Has anyone who has experienced LSD felt this way? I want to know that I'm not alone and that it was just the Drugs and that it really wasn't reality.. I want to know that this life is worth living here. I'm just really freaked out, I've stopped visualizing and all that but I'm still experiencing an existentialist crisis. Has anybody else experienced this to the point where they thought that their mind had full control over their body? Thanks again in advance.. and if you got through a bad trip how did you deal with it and make yourself happy again for choosing to live in this normal state of reality that you've been brought up with.

Thanks a lot.. Friendly tip: Don't trip on Halloween by yourself even though you have a few friends that you trust you can begin to mis-trust them during the trip. Always be comfortable with your surroundings or else it can alter your mood after your trip. I'm just waiting for my Seratonin to build back up so I can enjoy life again.


Do any of you feel depressed over life in general? How do I get myself over this depressive state and out of this confusion brought upon by my trip?

Thank you so much.

 

LSD can be a very powerful drug,I would not worry to much though you made it through,Your head will straighten itself out soon enough.Your mind set and the setting your in have ALOT to do with the way your trip goes but always remember that it is only a drug and though it sometimes feels like it will never stop sooner or later it will,in the mean time dont fight it,go with the flow and enjoy wherever your mind takes you.Its when you try to insist that its not happening is when you can run into trouble.

 

i think you just had a bad trip, and it's still bugging you. i agree with the above poster, you just gotta try and forget about it and keep on doing whatever it is you're doing, focus on all that, school playing music whatever, just keep your mind occupied and focused on your day to day shit and you'll straighten out. the biggest mistake i made after a bad experience was to sit around and let myself wallow in it, it doesn't get you anywhere but stuck in the same shit so later on it's even harder to pull yourself out of it. i feel depressed a lot over life but it's worst when i'm just sitting at home soaking in it. and also, experiencing things like time loops, and anxious confusion over what/how you control who you are are very common for bad experiences, this has happened to a decent amount of people.

but keep in mind what you learned. don't trip unless you're completely comfortable with your environment, friends, and generally what's going on around you.

was this your first time on LSD?

 

I know how you feel man, that happened to me once after years of frequent tripping. Its just a bad trip man. Manifestation of your fears. Your friends are still solid dont worry. Re dose and have a good time!

 

sounds like set and setting. and don't feel ashamed, bad trips aren't uncommon and your not the first person to have one. just take it wasy for a while.

if anything, having a bad trip can help you reflect on what your fears are, and maybe that can give you something to learn from.

 

That was reality, and yes, it's that fucked up lol
Just laugh it's all you can do
Gotta love it all

 

Just remember to Love and you will fly!!

 

Couldnt have put it better myself. Your thoughts on acid are real thoughts. But they are real thoughts on acid. CBut as neodude said, have a laugh at it. At the end of the day, you will be 100% a-ok, you just needa know that other people have been through your experience your going through now (it was hell for me!) and just prepare youself better next time setting wise

 

mwahaha

the reason that you feel sad is because you invested a lot in your original understanding of reality?

why does it disturb you to find out that things are not how they originally seemed?

but most of all, why do you want to believe that it was all a dream? What was so horrible? Did you feel worthless? Why is it any more or less reality than your experience right now? Perhaps your 'mind' is still controlling you, but you have more of an illusion that it is 'you'?

Treat yourself with an iron fist, but just remember, that this is all one big mumbojumbo ride that we are all taking and that the best you can do is discover more about it. If your previous illusion fades away, you can dwell in existential angst, or you can just direct your emotions to developing a new illusion that you can take through thick and thin.

Try again, don't smoke dope, and this time expect your reality to dissapear.. so that it does not surprise you AS MUCH

 

Hahah stoner bill got it. It seems like this guy put all his belief into the way he thought before lsd. Turns out LSD is exactly what he needed to see the bigger perspective. Lsd will pwn you if you are stuck in your own way of thinking.

 

The rabbit hole goes deeper than you can understand. You've just peeked into it. Don't conclude anything yet, your journey has just begun.

By growing.

 

I'd say a lot of that is normal psychedelic symptoms. I'd say you need to change your way of thinking when on acid. Instead of noticing you're spiraling down and just struggling, don't struggle and accept how the acid works on you. That's how you'll have all the realizations and beauty people on this forum talk about. It seems that you were starting to realize things but found the whole thing uncomfortable. Psychedelics are pretty uncomfortable and overwhelming at least at first. So I'd say don't do it if you don't really want to do it anymore. BUT since you have some experience with it, future trips will be much more comfortable cuz you know what youre dealing with.

Even if you're sober life is all dandy and you don't want to shake it, you can learn a hell of a lot about yourself from acid. And if you have an existentialist crisis, you are on the verge of something wonderful. Spend some time on it, cuz once you crap it out, you'll feel better. lol

Thank you for all of your suggestions. This was my first trip, I was in a depressive state and none of my other friends tripped with me. You are right, my perceptions of the world and understandings of it were ingrained in me from birth because that was the only world I had ever experienced. LSD takes you to a different world that makes you accept the possibilities of our existence. Nothing is definite and I don't know anything because experiences like this are the best teacher. The trip gave me a decision it seemed to let my mind control my body or my body control my mind.. I contemplated suicide while on the trip to test to see if I really felt pain because my friends pinched and punched me and I couldn't feel anything that's why I was tripping. I saw things happen twice as well.. this dude that was trying to get his drunken friend out of his room walked by me, stared and me and said the same things to my buddy in the same manner and it happened all again when I looked away and looked back and he was back in the same spot. I could make the ground decay 100 feet away from me and the few times I felt at home and comforted were around my buddy who tripped on it and around my buddies girlfriend who was super sweet about the whole thing. I agree with the two posters who are laughing about me being scared of it because my perceptions of my previous reality was all I knew. I was scared because I had never experienced it, you guys nailed it. I have to realize that I know nothing and I can never come to any conclusions, not yet anyways. We'll see what happens in the future, for now I'll take solace in this world.

Thank you all so much, if you have any more advice please let me know I'll be very grateful because I'm still building my serotonin back up lol and still trying to find sources of happiness here in this perceived world.

 

Everything happened twice?

No I have never had something like that happen.

Is it still happening?

Seriously, Your mind does have full control over your body.
From the rest that you say sounds more like you went into it without really understanding what lsd does and what a psychedelic experience is like.

Maybe you should seek help elsewhere of a professional nature if your depression is severe. Nobody in this forum is really qualified to give you council and advice regarding your problems based on 1 post.
That is the only advice I have to offer.

 

things r not what they seem---now u know a seperate reality---a few xanax or valium wouldnt hurt right now---u should be ok----hell i was the devil one halloween tripping on acid and when i got home i saw the real devil and it scared me almost into madness--then it turned into a cartoon devil that i could deal with----quit triping for a awhile after that lol--fucking devils--btw i was one lucky tripper had over 100 good trips b4 i ever had a bad one---and it wasnt bad as much as just too much information at once too much esoteric knowledge that i wasnt trained to handle---then i usually never tripped without whiskey to kill the trip if it went bad----it was whiskey that killed the real devil and turned it into a cartoon-----fuck that trip still scares me and it happened over 20 years ago
