Tripping Alone--anything I should know?

So tomorrow I decided to take 2 hits of medium-quality stuff by myself. I have only tripped 3 times total, and I've been with friends for all 3 of those times. I've never had a bad experience with LSD, and I wanted to trip by myself so I could space out (not have to worry about socializing, etc) and listen to only music I want to hear (music is a big part of the trips with my friends, so getting to pick what I listen to is a big deal).

Is there anything unexpected that could happen by tripping alone? Has anyone had any bad experiences tripping alone on a moderate dosage?

Is taking a shower fun on acid?

 

The only problem I could see myself having is I sometimes get paranoid being alone in the house, I live in a big house..

And yes taking a shower while tripping is amazing, you feel so refreshed after words.

 

you might get lonely! thats the worst thing that should happen

but you probably won't, as the trip will be much, much, much stronger and deeper without your friends there to hold you to sober reality.

 

If you start to freak out, I recommend going outside and communing with nature for a bit..its good to connect with the universe and surround yourself with things that are alive when a trip gets a bit too heavy, even if the living aren't human.

 

I'm with Melial. Everytime I'm inside, I feel trapped, and NEED to go outside. Outside helps me relax, and it's much more comfortable.

 

do some type of meditation and or yoga on the comeup, it will greatly enhance the rest of the experience. trust me on this one.

 

Go to the mall and talk to some random strangers. Preferably people in suits.

 

ummm....DON'T look in the mirror!

 

And people with badges lol

 

theres nothing to really worry about unless you naturally get paranoid already.

i have tripped alone many times and sometimes i prefer it because it gives me time to think and enjoy what i want to do. but you may get lonely, but to get over that i would just converse with non-living things...haha i know it sounds weird but while on lsd everything is alive.

 

The only time I tried to trip by myself on the come up I all of a sudden realized I was in a very negative setting. So I asked my buddy to come take me to her place, lol.

But I don't think I'd enjoy tripping alone, that's just me.

 

Taking a shower is decent on LSD.

I never had a completely bad experience tripping alone but I have a had a few where I say in my head "Why did I do this to myself?" at one point or another throughout the trip and then once for like 20 minutes I thought I had a loose tooth on LSD.

You will most likely enjoy tripping by yourself for the first time. If nothing else just play music you want to and watch visualizers like milkdrop or the itunes one and you should space out on that for a good amount of time. Like other said if things feel they are getting uncomfortable just go to a different room, outside, get a glass of water (juice) kind of switch things up and that will usually get you back on track.

 

This is a great suggestion, you have no idea how much the slightest changes in environment can totally refresh your headspace.

 

Hey thanks for the suggestions, guys. --and yeah, guerilla, I LOVE milkdrop!

 

Ya i meant to say shiny suits....

OoooOo

 

Had the loose tooth shit!

 

The feeling you get in your teeth/jaw is really weird isnt it! Almost as if they arn't your teeth, dentures or something... I wonder why.

PS. Alone is 100x better, less distractions, more peace, more time to think and slip within

 

I've never found mirrors too unsettling when tripping (although I did turn into some kind of wolf/furry snarling animal while staring into one on mescaline, but I found it absolutely hilarious, and wasn't at all afraid of it at the time). However, if you have any lingering doubts or fears about the trip, the mirror might not be a good place to stare into for a long time.

One thing I have always found to be a good idea is to have an mp3 player with a playlist filled with your favorite, most calming music (or whatever helps you relax) sitting nearby in case you get anxious or nervous. If you really start to freak out, popping a benzo can kill the anxiety, if you have any, but only use that as a last resort.

 

i tripped alone my first time.
i sat in the same room the whole trip. it was a great trip.
i prefer dropping acid by myself. without having to focus on anyone else, you can really get to know yourself.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'm sitting here wondering when I'm gonna get sleepy, but it was a great trip!

In the beginning I was questioning the whole thing, but after an hour I got over that.

side note: while I was peaking I looked out my window and the trees were dancing while looking at me @_@
