So, im gonna keep this brief, because if i didnt, this would be a really long read.

So basically, ive tripped 4 times, and 3 of those trips have been bad, and somehow connected. My 1st LSD trip back in April (210ug of voidrealm, smoked a bit of weed on top of it.) consisted of me thinking i was being arrested, i could see police and everything, i could see the police lights, hear the sirens, and everything...

My 3rd trip (my 2nd was ok) i took one tab of voidrealm, so 105ug, and at first it was confusing, so i went to a friends house to see if he could help calm me down. It worked, but then he offered me a dab, and i stupidly accepted it, the trip was greatly intensified, and I had an image of myself on the ground outside his house, explaining that it felt like i was on the ground with police around us, he looked confused as, well, thats what was happening, but this was all in my head, all a trip.

My 4th and final experience with LSD, was a sliver of voidrealm, 40ug id say, which i, yet again, smoked weed on top of, 5-6 milky bong rips. I was in the car riding with them to drop off the friend who sold us the acid, and i had another image, it was like, in the image, i had gone into the car randomly after taking the LSD, and pissed myself, they opened the door, and stood there watching me piss myself, i pulled myself out of this image and decided to go home shortly after that, where i was laying in bed (I still live at home with my parents, 18) as i was trying to sleep, my laptop screen came on, and it felt as though my mom had come to check up on me, after i turned and looked at the laptop screen, it immediately turned off, i thought that was a bit weird, so i tried to sleep again, but as i tried to sleep, i was looking around at the things in my room and was staring at my bike that was leaning on the wall, and it started to take the shape of my dog, only, he looked to be covered in some sort of, like, liquid.

Again, my laptop screen came on, and i had another image, it was as if, i had somehow gone psychotic, and killed my dog, and my parents walked in on the bloody mess, my dog on my bed, and blood on me. At this point, i was terrified, i didnt quite know if it was happening or not, after waiting for like, 5-10 minutes for my laptop screen to shut off, it never did, i had to get up, shut the computer, and then i tried to sleep again, but to no avail.

That last trip was on June 23rd, and i havent taken any sort of drug since then, ive quit weed, and i havent taken LSD either. For the whole remaining month of June and the whole month of July, i had incredible bouts of deja vu, feeling as though i had already seen this portion of my life, and i felt as though, there was a 2nd reality, one where all my bad trips happened, and im afraid of this because, the bad trips, felt so, fucking, real, and they werent even bizarre, like, you usually have bad trips about like, going to hell, or other things, but mine were situationally realistic. Even in how things were functioning, it was realistic. I could see the cops badge on the 1st trip, i could see my friends worried expression on the 3rd trip, and i could see my parents staring at me on the 4th trip, and the last trip is what confuses me because it was only 40ug, but i smoked a lot of weed with it, so that could be it.

I recently learned of a family history of schizoaffective disorder on my dads side, he was diagnosed in his 20's, keep in mind i only recently learned of this, as i havent seen him in like, 12 years. I believe that im having delusions as everyday it feels like the bad trips are actually happening, like, it feels like its still June 23rd, and soon im gonna wake up from whatever LSD induced hallucination this life is, and ill wake up in a reality where i did kill my dog. Today i have to cut down a trash tree in our yard (a random tree) and im scared, because it feels like, when i do that, its gonna equate to me killing my dog in the other reality, or, in reality, i feel as though this is all just a hallucination, and soon im gonna come out of it.

Anyone have any advice? im going to a psychiatrist on Thursday, and, while i know it could just be me traumatized about it, i seriously feel like im in psychosis because the things i hear on TV, Youtube, the things my family say, sometimes it either feels like they have hidden meaning, telling me that this is a hallucination, like the other day, my dad told me of a job at UPS in our town, and he and my uncle were explaining how the different positions worked, and it felt like they were like, 2 LSD entities telling me how the universe and different realities worked, and that i had jumped from one to another... I hate this, i just want to feel normal again, can anyone relate to what im experiencing? The deja vu is only making it more concrete for me as its effecting my very thoughts, its every second of the day, and it never stops...
 
as you get more frantic your "effects" increas e. you have to calm down else shrink will medicate you and that wont be good
 
I think you are doing the right thing seeing psychiatrist, It sounds like the trips are still having quite a effect on your day to day life and are in your thoughts a lot. I highly doubt you have psychosis as you seem very conscious that the thoughts you are having are not real they are just thoughts and seem intrusive and disturb you.

How has your sleep been and have you been under alot of stress and feeling anxiety?

Ive been really stressed out questioning whether or not if anything around me is real or not, the things that my parents or family members say sound like its about me doing acid like "Why would you do that" or other things in there normal conversations feel as though theyre about me going insane, or me doing acid... I usually wake up like, 2-5 times a night, and its either from needing to use the bathroom, or just, waking up, with thoughts about the other reality immediately. Im seriously starting to question it, im almost completely convinced that im in a dream, and that my bad trips are real, the things that happen in this life, are just, theyre related to the things happening over in that reality, like, for instance, me feeling like the things people say are directly about me being on LSD or me going crazy, I ate a bowl of chilly, and, this is embarassing to admit, but it felt like, that translated to me eating my own shit in the other reality, like, it seriously feels like this is a dream, and that all of that shit is real...
 
You would be amazed how strong of a effect stress can have on us, and not sleeping well too, it makes it harder to deal with everyday things and these thoughts and paranoid feelings creep in when we are at our weakest, I'm sure you are OK but try not to judge your thoughts too much as hard as that sounds, be kind to yourself and the Psychiatrist will be able to help you get back to your old self.

One time i had a flashback on weed, and it showed me like, bits and pieces of the bad trips i had, i saw parts i didnt remember, i saw myself being restrained by like, 10 cops or something on my 1st trip (again, i hope none of this happened in actuality) I saw myself get thrown into a mental hospital, i even heard an excerpt of a conversation i had with my mother the other day (keep in mind, i quit weed a month ago, theres no way i just remembered the conversation while smoking, cuz it hadnt even happened before)

All thats happening is starting to convince me that this is all a hallucination, a dream, and the reality thats real, is one where i went batshit insane, eating my own waste, killing my dog, all of that bad stuff, it feels like it actually happened, and i cant stop it or see it because im in this one, i feel that, somehow this all has to do with my ego, like, my ego created the reality im in now, and if i somehow have an ego death (im not taking acid again, though, thats for damn sure) then, ill wake up to reality... idk
 
Lay off the Psychoactive substances for a while if you can dude. I can't smoke weed myself it makes my mind race and I get paranoid, there are lots of people that weed doesn't agree with.

If a drug is not making you feel good or brings up negative thoughts don't take it, sounds simple but it is true.

Your right, and i have stopped taking all drugs, i havent smoked weed in 38 days nor have i taken LSD in 38 days, but still, the issues persist, Constant, every second of the day deja vu, delusions of there being another reality where im doing all the shit i had bad trips about (basically like, flashbacks to my bad trips), feeling like things that happen in this reality are messages from that reality (such as thinking the things my family says are about me going insane or taking LSD) its like my ego was just, kicked up my 10 notches or something, and created an alternate universe in which my bad trips became true, they were all related to eachother somehow...
 
So I'm new to Bluelight but I wanted to touch on this as I think I know what may have triggered these unpleasant experiences. I have about ten years of experience with Psychedelics and believe me when I say that I've seen it all. Here's my take on your situation.

I've heard that LSD and weed can cause some pretty negative reactions in people during the trip. I'm not 100% sure how much it can impact the trip because I've never experienced true hallucinations on LSD or Shrooms (Things that actually aren't there at all) especially in such detail. I personally don't think that you've triggered schizophrenia, and I'll explain why as further down in this response.

Here's the thing. One bad trip can be enough to cause PTSD in some people but you went through three over a short span of time so I think that you've been completely and utterly shaken to your core. I think you're suffering from a 'temporary' state of Psychosis. Key word temporary. My advice would be to lay off the Psychedelics for a while (At least a year if not longer) and try to alter your mindset from that of "I've fucked myself up forever I'll never be the same." to "Although this is horrible this is temporary and it will eventually pass."

If your family doesn't already know what happened I would advise you to tell them and let them know how much stress you're under, that you're going to need support (if they're the kind of people who are supportive if not try to find another supportive network like a close friend), and that they should check in with you maybe once a day just to ensure that you haven't fully detached from reality, and that if you have, to get you immediate help. Even if you're afraid that they'll react negatively, it's best for the people around you to know what's going on when you're experiencing a state of psychosis as it ensures everybody's safety, including yours (For instance if you haven't cut down that tree yet than I would advise against doing so).

Should you ever decided to do LSD again don't ever smoke weed while tripping on it this should serve as a cautionary tale to those who aren't educated about the power of Psychedelics as well as those who are new to taking them or even both. I hope you get better man I responded to this in the hopes of not only helping you but also potentially preventing future users of LSD from having a bad experience.

Here's the reason why I don't think you have schizophrenia even though you say you have a family history of schizophrenia:
I was doing some research on psychedelics and came across something very interesting. This therapist (I think it was a therapist) named Gary Fisher came up with a theory that schizophrenia could be caused b/c the affected person is suppressing so much early childhood trauma that it causes a change in their perception of reality. He tested this theory by dosing a group of kids who had schizophrenia with LSD and the results were that some of the children were able to attend school once again and that some of their unpredictable violent tendencies had ceased.

Just wanted to stress once more that you will be fine time heals all wounds you will come out of this a much stronger person. You have seen the darkness, and believe me when I say that most people cannot even begin to fathom anything that comes close to the darkest darkness. You now have some semblance of what your innermost demons consist of, and once you get past this, you can begin to work on making changes in your life to deal with and overcome those demons.

One more thing. Feel free to add me I'd be very interested to hear from you in a year or so and see how you're doing. I hope you get better man. Good vibes all around.
