Sorry for the lack of any formatting. This is my first post here, I've read through this forum quite a bit.

First off, I want to say please, I don't want you to school me on what I did wrong and how stupid I was. I don't need it. 6 months ago I ordered 80mg of 25i-nBOME HCL. I had done LSD 6 times, and DMT once. I have used no other illegal drugs aside the ones I stated, and cannabis. Another thing, I have to be honest with my intentions of buying this drug. I intended to sell it as LSD, which I ended up not doing because 25i is horrible.

At 10:00 pm I eyeballed 1mg of the HCL and dissolved it in 99% IPL. I soaked a piece of cardboard, and let it dry out. I had the remaining drug on my bed on a piece of paper. My dog happened to be sleeping under my blanket with my knowledge, and she sneezed and the powder was gone. At that point I had had the "tab" in my mouth for 30 minutes. I was very angry all the money I spend was gone, and began to think I wasn't going to trip. I stuck my tongue in the empty bag, just to make sure I would trip. It began. I began to see the walls move, and objects in my room warp and bend. It was bliss and I felt intense euphoria. It began to get more and more intense, I tried to watch a funny show on youtube to keep my mood up, but it became too much. I couldn't handle it anymore. 30 minutes into the trip I was done, I had done 500ug of LSD once, and it was like drinking water compared to this. I called my best friend, who is the only person I trip with. I just wanted to talk to him, hold onto reality. My phone died. And into hell for the next 12 hours.

The thoughts I had and the things I saw were truly horrific. I believed I was going to die. The vasoconstriction, and I felt a dark energy in my body. It was how I though meth would feel like. I talked to myself in absolute insanity for 8 hours. I looked in the mirror and realized my mind was gone. The concept of my being was shattered, and I looked at my own hands in utter bewilderment. I stared at myself in the mirror for one hour. The concepts of taste and touch were unfathomable. My dad gave me my lunch money, and he went off to work. I walked into my backyard, through the darkness, and felt as though I had been there for all of time. As my mom drove me to school, I saw the mountains melting. When I got to class, I was an alien. I was in a room of people I have know for most of my life, and they were strangers. I cannot describe those feelings. I attempted to take a math quiz, and I could not read it. I stared at the carpet for the entire class. About 11:00 AM the visual effects had worn off. I went home and slept until the next morning. Slowly I became more back to normal.

For weeks my mind was essentially blank and I spend all of my time "out of it." As my life fell back into place, I became somewhat back to normal. The pain was being normal when everything you knew is alien. The worst pain. Then the flashbacks started about 3 months after the incident. I remember it vividly, having a good day, I had just met a nice girl I really liked. In English class, all of the sudden I felt out of it. I fell into a trance, starring at the ground. My thoughts were out of control, and I felt as though I didn't know where I was. Reality changed, everything looked "different" but no visual distortion or hallucination. Depression and anxiety also. I walked to my next class and it was like being in a foreign country. I saw my friend I talk to everyday, and couldn't even manage to greet him. After that day, I would have a flashback maybe once a week at the most. It has greatly worsened. I have become more depressed, almost all the time.

The flashbacks have become more intense and almost everyday. Currently I am in a constant state of nothing being like it should. It's become so hard to do anything, and no one understands. I frequently get comments from my family at social gatherings like a birthday party or holiday thinking I'm "stoned" and being very upset when in fact I haven't touched a psychoactive substance after that day, I decided to smoke marijuana just yesterday. I have extreme difficulty talking to my family, people who watched me grow up. Often new people I meet say I'm zoned out. I don't know what to do now. It's become so bad I can't deal with it anymore. I want to be normal. I find the only thing that takes away my plight is hiking, being in nature alone. I've been meditating everyday for months, and trying as hard as I can to think positive thought but It's just not working. I can't talk with my family about it, only my trusted friends, and even then some people turn away from me. I have scheduled psychiatrist appointment 2 weeks from today, because I can't cope anymore. I have no idea what to tell the doctor. If I tell the real story, they will probably put me on anti-psychotics which I really do not want, they will also want to take urine tests, see that I will test positive for marijuana and label me an addict. I have heard several stories of this exact thing happening, and people not allowed medication they need. Please, any advice.

I think you need to slow down and take a deep breath. You've got two things going at once--the past that is scaring you and the future that is causing you more anxiety-- that you need to clear out of your head of so that you are just focused on what is actually happening now in the present.

From the sounds of it, you had a very intense and scary trip. That trip is over now and I don't think it serves you well to attribute everything that is happening presently to a continuing effect of the drug. You can deal with the feelings of alienation and depression simply on their own merits in the present. I also don't think you need to tell the psychiatrist everything when you first meet; just stick to what is relevant here which is your depression. If you were still planning on using drugs I would say that you should tell him/her but you stated that you are not planning on doing that.

For the time being I would advise you to stop even smoking marijuana as this can definitely contribute to anxiety. Just focus on making your life healthy and try to understand what may be at the root of your depression. If you feel alienated from your friends and family that is no doubt scary and lonely. While a psychiatrist may be prone to recommending an AD or SSRI, I would counsel you to only do that as a last resort. Read everything you can on non-drug ways to deal with depression. Trying to understand it is preferable to trying to medicate it away. Try to reach out to at least your closest friend. Isolation has a way of intensifying over time.

Much love and feel better.<3

When I was a dumbass teenager in high school I did so much acid I couldn't even talk straight and was kind of permafried. But eventually after my being a stupid teenager phase I was back to (ab)normal. Just give it time, quit the drugs for now including weed if you can, and try to live healthily which it sounds like you're already doing. The mind is pretty good at repairing itself. A good diet and exercise will definitely help speed things up. You might also look into vitamins and nootropics. I don't know too much about the nootropics, but a lot of people have good things to say about them like Joe Rogan if you've ever watched his podcast.

And thanks Black for paragraphing that. lol
