ive done shrooms 3 or 4 times,the last of which occurred roughly 8 months ago.the first couple of times i took them were great,however my last trip(i took a much higher dose then with my previous trips)was probly the most terrifying experience ive ever had.it took me months to recuperate from the experience,as i was having a hard time defining "reality" from what was not,like i said months after the experience occured.sometimes just thinking about it caused me to have panic attacks it was so intense.after about 3 or 4 months the panic attacks stopped and now it just all seems like a bad dream.i would like to take shrooms again,or possibly experiment with other psychedelics.is this a bad idea?going into the trip i know im going to be paranoid of having another bad trip..will this cause me to have a bad trip?will i never be able to have a good trip again?any thoughs will help.
As far as the mushrooms go, they will treat you alright. I would work independently on that hysteria of yours. It is not caused by mushrooms. There is a very simple way to deal with anxiety if you can remember to do it. Take deeper longer breaths, lengthen the exhale, sing.
i wasnt in the best state of mind when i took them,which probably had something to do with the anxiety.thanks for the advice though.ill be sure to try those deep breathing exercises next time:]
well, at least you now know that your capable of having a bad trip and being okay afterwards. be confident in your ability to take care of yourself and you'll be taken care of.
Meditate and analyze every aspect of your psyche every day for 30 min. If you have a strong mind and know yourself, I find it impossible to have a bad trip except if caught in a bad situation with your setting. Yeah it sounds like some hippy bullshit; but it really works because then you are not scared of anything you can possibly encounter or think of while tripping. If i thought i was going to die it probably wouldn't phase me just because I've thought about that every day and realized its just a part of life we all experience eventually, and also the fact that its just a freaking drug that would make me think that in the first place...
I'd maybe wanna try a different psychedelic for the next time instead of mushrooms but that might not me too big of a deal. And idk about anyone else but i like to read trip reports before i actually trip so then im really excited for the trip and go into it in a good mood. Idk if thatd help for you but i'd think its worth a try next time
know youll always be ok in the end and you will be fine even if the trip takes a turn for the worse. works for me every time i begin to bug get your mind off of the scary and terrifying thoughts. i have so much mind power when im tripping if i wanna block out a thought i do it in a matter of seconds for the entire length of the trip. i could probably forget about the existence of the entire world if i wanted to while trippinn. might wanna take a tad lower dose though this time. i stick to an eighth consistently eventually ill work my way up
