Hello Bluelight;

Last night i took 1.75 hits of very very strong acid. Nothing could have prepared my mind for what it went through; many loops, ego/identity loss, panic, detachment from life.

Today, I am feeling the after effects, and am trying to get my mood back uplifted but am having a hard time. Any tips to pick me back up mentally?

I made it through the worst time of my life, so I should be happier, but I just don't know what to do right now. I feel lost in life.

Thanks,

Zildjian
 
You'll feel better in time. Trust me. Even if you're very shaken up now, feelings of normalcy will return in time. Just don't do any tripping whatsoever for a at least a couple of weeks, if not more. If smoking marijuana makes you paranoid or anxious, lay off that too. Remember to think positively and be optimistic about situation, even if it is difficult to do so. Doing light excercise such as going for walk can do a world of good, they can be meditative and will help clear you head and give your body some nice light excercise. Try to eat healthy and get plenty of good quality sleep in the next few days, and always keep this in mind: you will feel better in time !
 
think about why you felt bad. examine for the root causes, and try to figure out what would be the best way to ensure you do not make the same mistakes again.

every moment is a gift, so your job is to do the most positive possible thing given your circumstance.

i don't know where you work or go to school, but look around you for people or things that you have a unique ability to change for the better.

then after you accomplish some things, your mood will lift. it's not an easy burden, this gift of humanity, but the reward is well worth the effort.
 
greenmeanies and chemical wizard, thanks for your replies.

Last night, someone took my brain and smeared it on the floor in front of me, and I feel like nobody can begin to relate or understand what the hell happened. I don't even know what just happened; I feel like i just woke up in my body.

There is no worse feeling than waking up high as f*ck on acid, puking, not knowing who you are or where you are in the universe. I assure you there is no worse.

I can't wait to be my full sober self again.

more tips are appreciated and welcomed.

I'd like to emphasize the importance of safeguarding one's mental health. I experienced long-term PTSD from a series of such experiences. Be careful!
 
Breathing meditation.

Most important is to not panic. Maybe you will return to your 'normal self,' maybe you'll be 'changed.' Both are equally unreal. Just go with the flow.

when i have had a bad trip from dmt i lkie to see it as a trip that was there for a reason, that i can learn from the bad trips aswell the ones that jsut blow your mind away....
 
Hey man, I've experienced the same thing, first i'll just say it will go away in time.
Last summer I took only 2 hits of acid and I had a craazy trip, with all of those things you described, detachment from life, loops and such. Approx about 3 hours after I dropped them I ended up going mental, I ended up running into the street with no shoes. Was hospitalized for a couple days.

And hey, for a couple weeks possibly a month I felt almost out of body, as if I wasnt in my own life and such, the only way I can describe it would be I felt anomalous. Havnt done acid since, but i've gotten a much stronger love for mushrooms.
M only advice is try to find something that needs changing, might help

Edit: Though there is a part of me I can feel has been changed, I like to think its just any other experience of life, a learning
 
I find it helps to reframe a 'bad trip' as a difficult experience that can be integrated and learned from. Integration sometimes takes months and sometimes years but it happens and makes you better than you were before the process took place.

It helps to stay sober while you're working it all out. I certainly wouldn't recommend using psychedelics again any time soon.

Edit: ahhh. I didn't see that someone bumped it from 2011!

LSD is an ordeal in itself; if you aren't prepared to lose your ego you shouldn't trip at any level. Why where you expecting from such a profound chemical?

Just eat a healthy diet, reasses what you thought about during your trip and just try your best to integrate the experience.
If you don't want to feel hints of psychosis or depression during or after taking a psychedelic, you have no business even considering taking a psychedelic. You've gotta learn to let go.

Edit: super old bump; for future use I guess.

I've gone to the hospital before for an overdose, though after I did I felt a lot more comfortable just knowing my vitals were ok because thats really what I was concerned about (what I didn't know.) Also yeah I'm strictly vegetarian now, I've done epic amounts of LSD at a time (10-15 hits, can't remember if it was 10 or 15 but it was in that range) my friend said it was about 15, a lot of time flew by I lost track of it and at some point I was laying in the kitchen and a girl came over because we were going to go see a movie together but I was too fucked up to go out ... wallowing in the kitchen. I didn't care, I knew I wasn't gonna die but I knew if I did I wouldn't care because whats the big deal if you die then so what? Life is pretty fucking miserable, especially when your xwife (who you're still married to) thinks you're crazy, all you have is work and you don't even have control of your situation like keeping your cat from going outside. When I have a job... making salary ... don't fucking care my life is empty.

She may think I'm crazy, people may think so but I have borderline / dissociative identity disorder my name is *** I am from *** I retired after ***
