so i've been like really depressed and a little suicidal lately, and I had like a mental breakdown a few days ago.
I'm going to a concert in 2 weeks and my friend wants me to trip with him
I would most likely only take 1 hit of acid.

im just nervous, ive done acid twice and ive never felt the slightest bit of discomfort on it, but im worried because
1. when i did it before i was very emotionally stable, and now im not really at all
2. if something were to happen, i would be really upset if i wasnt able to go to the concert (like if i had a panic attack or a mental breakdown or something)
3. ive never tripped at a concert setting, and im afraid it will be overwhelming

but im also planning on taking a low dose... i dunno i guess just tell me what you think about acid if someone has mental health issues/is emotionally unstable, whether its a really bad idea or not
 
Well if "one hit" was an easily measurable amount this could be different...

I wouldn't recommend it based on your anxieties about it if nothing else. You seem pretty uncomfortable with the idea already, which is the worst mindset to be in before tripping if you ask me.
 
well obviously, i mean if i were to weigh the situation out better i guess, i wouldnt be as anxious about it.
 
Here's how this situation has gone for me in the past.

The trip starts out all euphoric and fantastic, but towards the end I start thinking about my motives for doing it and the depression comes back coupled with branching LSD thought processes and I get pretty self loathing-ish. That's just where depression + psychedelics takes me.

A solo trip with the goal of learning about yourself is another situation though. I'm just talking about the concert type shit.
 
for me when i used to do it alot way back when i was youngit was all good it became my favourit drug.
But then one day i had a bad trip,i call it the death trip its bad,bad enough to make me pretty much stop completely.
But being the guy i was i still took it with my acid friends.
But i knew that everytime i took it thatbad trip was first to come ,then i would settle down and be fine again.
But honestly everytime i took acid after the bad trip my trippin always started out with a bad trip for at least an hour after kicking in .
So eventually i stopped because the bad trippin that always happend after taking it seemed to be bad enough to scare me to the point where you wiegh the good and the bad .
And starting out with a bad trip hugging the toilet bowl for and hour just didnt seem to be worthe it anymore...
 
If i were you, taking acid would be one of the last things on my mind if i was depressed and or suicidal. Especially at a show. I used to like talking acid at concerts but now its too overwhelming tripping my nuts off infront of 30,000 people gives me a little anxiety.
 
im gunna play the other card. acid really helped me with both my drug & personal problems. it was a huge dose but it really flipped my life around. and everytime i drop sid im always so much more happy and appreciative of life. there was the time where id sit in my room all strung out on drugs ready to bust myself in the head. not ONCE since that amazing trip. I LOVE LIFE! that being said i think you should try to score a couple doses at the concert and bring em back with you. then trip with good ppl and a good environment. thats my two cents
 
DONT DO IT DUDE!

It`s really not a good idea and i think you know that already,thats why your asking for advice,otherwise you would just go ahead and do it.

IMO taking powerful hallucinogenic drugs whilst not in a good psychological or emotional state is asking for trouble,they tend to amplify thoughts and feelings,even when in a healthy state trouble can occur and is difficult to work through let alone having to deal with depression and suicidal thoughts.

If you really believe you have had a break down then i suggest you seek medical advice and leave the recreational drugs alone,or else you could become worse.

Take care dude.
 
I've been in a similar situation and I ended up having a pretty harsh experience. I strongly recommend not tripping until you're in a better state of mind. If you do decide to make sure you have some benzos on hand just in case.
 
It could go either way. I've had psychedelics get me out of deep depression but sometimes I also feel like my mood is less stable after the trip.
Whenever I use it for mood stabilization purposes though it has always been by myself at home. I imagine that being with other people or in a stimulating environment would eliminate the introspective comedown phase. That and sleeping soon after the comedown are what I feel are most important (for me) in using these drugs for mood stabilization.
I say definitely don't do it if its in a concert type situation and don't do it unless you have used it before and felt that it stabilized your mood. A few psychedelics paradoxically tend to leave me unmotivated and depressed the next day (lsd is one of them).
