This will pale in comparison to some of the stories on this board, but none the less I would appreciate any advice as to what i should do...

So about 5 weeks ago I attended the Cochella festival, and over the course of three 3 days I did a small amount of drugs. Friday I took half a roll, Saturday I took 2 tabs of acid along with a full roll and some pure MDMA, then Sunday I took one tab but this L was like nothing I have ever tried before.

Everything was great for me until I took that tab on Sunday. I had taken L about 5 times before this, each time taking 2 tabs. This one tab I acquired on Sunday resulted in a trip far more powerful then any acid experience I have ever had. The trip started off fantastic, but then after experiencing ego death, I sunk deep into a trip hole. Massive amounts of anxiety, thoughts of feeling like I was going to die, ect. I had a bad trip before, off of mushrooms, but this was much darker.

The next day, I felt strange, but I shook it off as merely a small drug "hangover". These effects, however, have yet to go away. I feel as those my life is automated. Brain fog would be a good way to describe it, detached from myself, living in a dream, and the world seems very strange. These effects make me feel very anxious and also depressed, because i feel like i have fucked myself up permanently.

Im visiting a doctor next tuesday, but Its my uncle and I dont want to tell him all those drugs I did, im just going to mention how ive been feeling.

Some background about myself, im 19, was a heavy pot smoker before this but I havent smoked in about 3 weeks, because blazing makes me feel even more detatched and anxious. I have thought i had some type of anxiety disorder before this, but was never really sure, now it seems like i most definitely do.

If anyone has experienced something similar to this, i would love to hear how they have coped/recovered. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I think remembering that getting past this could take sometime and not despairing is important.

Sunshine, exercise, good diet, adequate sleep are important.

Keeping connected with social support even when it feels a bit awkward is likely going to help a lot. Do you have a support system, people who can help and support?
 
Yeah I have a good amount of friends, I talk to them about it a decent amount, but many of them enjoy tripping, and I dont want to put my "bad trip vibes" onto them in the midst of festival season. I also have a family who cares about me, but i dont want to tell them what ive done.

About a week and a half after the trip, i was at my worst, had a few panic attacks, thought i was schizophrenic, but im past that and now realize i just have this werid depersonalization, but its still making it hard for me to enjoy myself, and ill basically do anything to go back to normal
 
Decided to smoke weed at summer camp this past weekend, didn't have to bad of a time, but this week I have felt pretty detached. I can't believe how much a few horrible hours has been destroying my mind these past two months. I used to think all that anxiety and depressions stuff was bullshit, now i know, it's like living a completely different and horrible life. I remember how simple life used to be, before I took any drugs, the good old days of being a little kid with the whole world in front of me. Now I just feel like this selfless and useless being with no future.
