Worst night of my life!

I have just joined this site and i really wanted to discuss this terrible night and see if anyone can relate. Thanks to all who read it.

Key Points:

Friday night
22 years old
Living with parents & little sister
In my room alone
Picking up daughter at 12noon (Saturday)

The story begins when a mate face books me telling me he’s got his hands on some acid. I was pretty excited because I had took it twice before and really enjoyed the magical ride. This particular trip was very different, this was a bad trip.
So me and a mate pick up the acid and everything’s Rosie in the garden. I keep one tab for myself and my mate takes the rest home to save for future times.
I’m home chilling out in my room on the laptop watching the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. At 11:00pm I ordered a Chinese and at 11:30pm I dropped half a tab. The Chinese arrived at midnight and that’s when I dropped the other half. Now the madness begins!
As I felt the visuals coming on I decided to close down the laptop, turn off the TV and lay in my bed in pitch black (good idea at the time). As I lay staring at the wobbly walls I pick up my mobile and start to text 3 particular people and every time they were going offline I started to feel very alone and trapped, knowing that my parents and sister were just down the hall sleeping and totally oblivious to what I was doing in my den. All I wanted was someone to talk to and comfort me as I went through this horrific stage.
By 6am I had no one to talk to, no mobile credit and the laptop was out of charge. I felt very trapped and lonely and I just wanted this to stop. All I wanted to do was fall asleep and wake up feeling normal so I can be fresh for picking my little princess up from her mother’s at 12noon. Not a chance was this going to happen.
Between the hours off 6am and 8am I was trying so hard to get to sleep but couldn’t because of these strange muscle spasms I was having, it almost felt like I was being electrocuted and every time this was happening I heard like a loud screeching noise.
8:30am arrives and my parents are awake and ready to take the dogs out. I don’t know how I managed it but I found a way up to my ex girlfriends house where she told me to drink some orange juice and try to sleep. I still couldn’t sleep, the screeching was getting louder and the spasms were getting worse. I really needed some comfort and reassurance. I needed my Dad.
A phone call was made either from me or my ex girlfriend to my dad telling him what state I was in and that I needed help fast. I was freaking out big time.
Half an hour passed (which felt like a lifetime) and my father walked in the room. I have never been so happy to see my dad in my entire life as I did when I was in that mess.
All I can say Is that was the longest, freakiest and scariest night of my life.

 

lol, consider that a lesson to ya...:devil:

 

Lee,you survived.
Lesson learned is your princess is worth more than any trip.
Man becomes dad=man becomes MAN.

It's over-put it behind you and put your daughter's image in front of you.

Good lad. :2thumbsup:

 

i slept on the couch last night because i cant walk in my room without gettin flashbacks. really horrible. ill never forget that night. My dad took me to the hospital where i was given valium to calm my nerves.

 

Bummer, man... sorry you had to go through that.

 

Bummer man

 

Wow I didn't know they still give valium for lsd come down...

Just try to put it out of your mind by keeping busy with mundane tasks till you get normal enough to feel boredom again...

Try to stay away from mind altering substances, (even caffeine) for a good interval. Eat as health-fully as you are able and get some strenuous exercise to promote good endorphins.

Trust that your mind and body are always at work to bring you back to normal...
Don't do anything to make that impossible and you'll be A'ight man.

 

Holy cows! that stinks brother. Maybe you have some temporary PTSD going on because only YOU know what YOU are truly scared of. I hope your flashbacks subside soon. Best wishes!

 

I've always noted that fighting a trip trends to make it worse.. That's awful man, hope you're doing alright. And follow zombiewolfs advice!

 

This was all on one tab?

 

yea man just one. horrific! i found out yesterday, the ones my mates kept and took home he totally freaked out aswell. must be a bad batch.

 

Well not to offend you, but what did you think was going to happen when you lost power on your laptop? Why would you trip if all you have is a laptop and a phone to occupy your mind?
I learned on my first trip to always have a music device and headphones on me if I plan to trip. ALWAYS. I can listen to comedy podcasts or favourite albums to get me through any weird time while tripping.


This must have been a pretty fuckin powerful tab or you must have been in a mindset for temporary psychosis. OR wasn't acid at all.

Enter every trip with the idea that this trip can be your hardest.

 

If you have taken it twice before, then you probably already know how hard it is to sleep, I dont see why you would decide to do it then... There is a time and a place for everything, which I am sure you already probably learned.



- You & friend should of dropped togeter
- Go outside nd chill in nature
- Smoked some weed
- Watch sunset / sunrise
- Jam out to music or play some video games
- Munchies, juice


sounds like a good batch to me, if one tab made you freak out like that

 

Psychedelics work differently with everyone. This time around you probably were thinking about something a lot that triggered a bad trip ya know?

 

I'm assuming it just wasn't the right time to drop man, not this "bad batch" thing you're suggesting. As said above, everyone reacts differently and you need to make a good time to trip on Lucy, or you're going to learn some harsh life lessons.

 

maybe it's some good, strong stuff, or maybe you simply took it with poor timing.

you should NEVER dose a psychedelic when you have important obligations in 12 hours.

i think you need almost a solid 24 hours before anything like work, parents, children, etc.

i always give myself a whole day, or at least 18-20 hours before i have to DO anything.

good advice.
MUSIC

that's what i'm sayin'


i don't think you necessarily need to smoke weed on LSD. i sometimes don't smoke any until after the peak.

like how you had to pick up your daughter only 12 hours after you dosed?! and drive??

so by the time you are actually tripping hard (maybe 2:30) you are having time dilation, and thinking "SHIT, i have to pick up my daughter in only like 9 hours! feels like i've been tripping for days, i'm not gonna be ready."

 

yea i think it was the thought of having to pick up my daughter, so i mustve thought "shit, i better get to sleep" and thats where it all went wrong. you guys have giving me some great advice though, no offence taken.

 

I agree with porkstock..

One thing I've learned throughout my years of tripping on various psychedelics... Psychedelics and ANY sort of structure/organization do NOT go well together, whatsoever. If you try to force some structure/organization to your trip, you're bound to have a bad trip because that is not the psychedelic lesson. You have to be willing to just let all that melt away and give yourself over to the flow... Control is something you need to relinquish to the psychedelic, to a certain extent.

That is why dosing before going to pick up your daughter messed with you so hard... Glad you've listened to everyone with an open mind and learned some things though, props to you my friend! An open mind is the psychedelic explorers best friend

But yeah, as far as it being a "bad batch"... it doesn't work like that. LSD is LSD. If anything, this was a very GOOD batch if it gave you that kind of melt-down just off one tab. It's not like there's something physically present in the manufacturing of LSD that is going to give everyone "bad trips"... Bad trips can be the culmination of any number of variables, however set and setting are typical culprits when somebody is having a bad trip on psychedelics. The bad trip/panic you experienced was entirely because of you, your mindset and your setting... It's one of those things where if you give 5 different individuals the same dose of LSD they can easily each have 5 different experiences, a lot of that being attributed to user mindset and how comfortable the setting is for each individual... Psychedelics do very strange things to the mind. Do not be telling the dealer that he has bad product, or be spreading any sort of information like that, because in reality those doses were probably VERY strong...

 

just this past weekend, my brother and i each took 2 hits (~300 ug). the two of us and my wife had planned on walking up the creek to this certain spot. well, we got started, and the water was rushing pretty fast, there was only a tiny bank (water was higher than previous years), and we were having a hard time. finally i just said "are we forcing this?" ..."let's just go back to the campsite"

and that's what we did

just an example of how our structured trip did not work out as planned

 

Good call,
the most important thing about any expedition is knowing when to call it off...:sultan:
