Does brain heal...

[Spoken Word]

Oh, please. Hes asked the same question over and over and keeps getting the same response. He should talk to a counsler if hes so worried.

 

[Roger&Me]

Oh, please. Hes asked the same question over and over and keeps getting the same response. He should talk to a counsler if hes so worried.

I can't really think of any type of "counselor" that would be equipped to understand the particular nuances of the psychedelically-induced personal crisis.. It's a very specific form of crisis which traditionally hasn't been dealt with very skillfully by "conventional" methods, discussion about these things is important.

 

[mrdocat]

Dwayne just after you said that another guy told me not to use it. And I don't know where to get it.

And I'm NOT having a psychedelically personal crisis, I'm just SLOW, my brain is heavy that's ALL. I'm also not asking for any answer here, why you guys don't hear me? I'm just asking for a link where I can get help.

 

[DwayneHoover]

^ Actually I agree. It's either (a) a troll for amusement, (b) a troll for attention, (c) a lie to spread "anti-drug" propaganda bullshit, or (d) mental illness.

In all cases, what he really needs is to see a psychiatrist and possibly be sent to a mental hospital.

Jesus Fuckiing Christ.

Dude you are being deliberately obstinate... that "other guy" just made some blanket statement about "forget all the supplements"... he is one of those people with a bias against all supplements, IMO.

What the hell do you mean "you dont know where to get it" Clearly you are just yanking our chain. What the fuck are you like 10 years old? Dont you know how to do a Google search? You will find 1000 places to order it online and have it delivered to your door. Or find ANY store selling health food and vitamins and supplements, from some local shop, to a national chain like GNC, they have it there.

Quit pretending you are so helpless just to get sympathy and attention. It is not making you any friends or helping you.

 

[not a doctor steve]

At the OP...

Google search, dude. That supplement is in drugstore chains for ~$20
And also for a forum or something.




I'm leaning towards troll

 

[mrdocat]

Please stop hating me. I swear I'm not a troll. I can post pics of me, the blotters, my name, if you want. I just want to get better. My mother had a mental illness that was fixed by risperdone, but that was after an aneurysm so my doctor said he didn't count it as a genetic predisposition. But my father told me his brother got schizophrenia after cannabis and cocaine abuse and that's worrying me so I spent this morning reading about it and some symptoms match PERFECTLY:

They commonly include flat or blunted affect and emotion, poverty of speech (alogia), inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), lack of desire to form relationships (asociality), and lack of motivation (avolition).

Don't know what to think, I'll start taking the risperdone my doctor prescribed today, but I'm confused, my doctor gives me a drug that is said to worsen HPPD symptoms, the internet made me 100% confident LSD wouldn't cause anything permanent to me and I'm like that, I just don't know who to trust anymore I don't know what to do. I'm afraid. Please, please, help me, please someone reading this, please, please, please help me.

 

[greenmeanies]

OP, do not take the risperidone.

please find some rhodiola and take that instead.

and take a GOOD HARD SERIOUS LOOK AT YOURSELF and your life, ask yourself where you see yourself in 5 days, in 5 weeks, in 5 months, and in 5 years. what changes do you have to put into motion in order to achieve these goals? welcome to growing up as a mature human adult. things DO NOT just happen to you. YOU MUST MAKE THEM HAPPEN!

TALK to your real-life flesh-and-blood friends (you do have friends, don't you?) about how you feel. you'll be surprised that THEY are REAL PEOPLE TOO! and many mental problems that "appear to be physiological in nature" like yours actually will IMPROVE DRASTICALLY with just a little CONVERSATIONAL THERAPY!

figure out the things that are troubling your subconscious (am i going to be good enough for my fiance? am i going to be strong enough to support my family? am i going to be kind enough to care for my friends when THEY come to ME with THEIR problems?)

please do not reply until you HAVE FOLLOWED OUR ADVICE, or we will simply ignore you like a troll.

we have all given you the BEST ADVICE ANY PEOPLE HAVE EVER GIVEN ANOTHER HUMAN.

 

[mrdocat]

I HAD DONE ALL THAT, MAN!
I see my friends, I play soccer and workout EVERY day, I'm eating healthy and my 'lifestate' is good as I got a healthy happy family, managed to join the best university of my city and so did my girlfriend who I also see everyday I smile, I laught, I try to look normal but it's false because I CAN'T ENJOY IT ANYMORE because that sluggish feeling doesn't go away from my head. The ONLY THING WRONG is that feeling but it mess up everything. It's like if I had a physical condition. Would you recommend me talking to my friends to healing a broken bone? Of course it would help if I was sad but I'm NOT sad I'm just worried of what's happening to me and I want to treat it, if someone just came and said "THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION, YOU'LL BE BETTER IN 6 MONTHS", then EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK! I CAN live with that for 6 months, perharps I can live my entire life with that, but I can't live with the worry that something IS going on and I have no idea of what it is and that can possibly even worsen! Know the problem? It's not about it being unsuportable but about not knowing what it is. I just want some light, I just want someone that KNOWS what I have, someone that HAD experienced what I'm experiencing and that can tell me what I can expect from it. I know I'm not alone. Thousands of people used acid, it's impossible that I'm the only one who's feeling it. And it's NOT psychologic there IS something going on in my head. Trust me. I can feel it. It's like a headache, you can feel it, can't you? Or when you want to sleep, you can clearly feel something in your head, can't you? So, I CAN feel something disturbing me. Please trust me on that!

 

[Roger&Me]

And it's NOT psychologic there IS something going on in my head. Trust me. I can feel it.

Then go see a psychiatrist? It sounds like you think you should go see a medical doctor, so you should probably do that then..

 

[mrdocat]

I did, as I said in the other thread (that was the thread where I asked advises, by the way, in this current thread I was JUST ASKING A LINK!)

I did go see a psychiatrist, I told him I was afraind taking risperdone because it's said to worsen HPPD (that he refers to as 'flashback'). He said it was not true because risperdone is an ANTI psychotic and said to just take the risperdone and come back again in 1 week.

I tried to make an appointment (is that the word?) with another doctor but the earliest available is something like 10 days! I can't stand living like this anymore, 10 days is no big deal, but just to see another doctor that'll probably know no more than my actual?

The doctors (and everything) in my country are ridiculous. Nobody here wants to learn. People just want to make money. That's why I used to trust the internet. Now I'm lost.

But I'll try it anyway.

Please open this link:
http://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodiu...ppd.review.pdf
In the end there is a list of some remedy that were successful in treating HPPD and after googling them I realized they are remedies used to treat schizophrenia (what a hard word to write) and as I said in other thread most of my symptoms match with those from schizophrenia. Things start to connect. I think I'll print that paper and ask my doctor to read the important parts like the statement against risperidone and that list. Do you think it's a good idea?

 

[RainbowWarrior]

so I spent this morning reading about it and some symptoms match PERFECTLY:

.

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hypochondriasis

read that, the symptoms match perfectly....

if you don't stop worrying you will fuck up yourself even more... you'll find doctors that will enforce your views of being permanently damaged by lsd and will gladly help you by taking money from you for the rest of your life and giving you anti-psychotic medication that will require you to stay on them forever...

everything will be fine then, until these pills don't work anymore and you'll have to face the mess in your brain that piled up over the long time... but you'll surely cop with it, with your strong ability to stay calm in complicated moments...

or

you could just start to accept, to calm down and search a way of taking control over your mind that works for you (meditation, prayer, sports, creative expression, autogenous training, etc)

sorry for being sarcastic, but you come across as a bit in denial understand it as tough love, nobody here wants you to have to experience such an anxiety, that's why we are so much stressing that it's yourself who is creating it...

 

[bighooter]

acid will change you if you believe yourself into thinking its changed you
the mind is a powerful thing with or without acid

 

[mrdocat]

you'll find doctors that will enforce your views of being permanently damaged by lsd and will gladly help you by taking money from you for the rest of your life and giving you anti-psychotic medication that will require you to stay on them forever...

RainbowWarrior. See? That's why I don't know who to trust anymore.

But I'm afraid, I'm sad, this is being the worse day after the trip. Do you think taking an antidepressive will mess up my brain?

 

[RainbowWarrior]

RainbowWarrior. See? That's why I don't know who to trust anymore.

I completely understand!

If you have been in the drug game (or life in general) a while you will have to face the fact that you can't trust anyone... not your friends, not your family, not authorities... and certainly not yourself!

so who can one trust?

I myself have chosen to trust the inexplainable (source of life, light, JHWH, god, call it whatever you want, no word will ever pin it down), with trust in this i was able to rebuild my trust in people as well...

i'm sorry i can't be of more help here... but one last advice for you:

pay atention! you're in the process of learning an important lesson about yourself and life!

 

[Diskordia]

And I'm NOT having a psychedelically personal crisis, I'm just SLOW, my brain is heavy that's ALL.

So basically we've put up with 5-6 threads and 50+ posts of your mellow dramatic ranting because you're feeling a little slow You're really only strengthening the case for for Hypochondriasis.

 

[Shambles]

If it were broken then yes brains tend to heal themselves to one extent or another. You're brain isn't damaged though cos you took acid not damaged your brain. It sounds like anxiety at most to me. I could quite see how acid could exacerbate (maybe even trigger) anxiety. But not brain damage cos it simply is not possible. Not unlikely. Impossible. Anxiety can be treated. I'd recommend looking into CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) maybe. Seems to be very effective for many. Diazepam works best for my anxiety but is not for everyone.

 

[Wise420]

Man you need to chill the fuck out tbh Take a benzo or something..

 

[Roger&Me]

^LOL, in my personal opinion he should begin drinking heavily at once. :D

 

[skinwalker]

This is proof that psyches can exacerbate or bring out underlying mental illness.
Unfortunately and I hate to say this, this is the exact reason why these chemicals are outlawed.
Irresponsible use!
Sorry OP no offense hope you find your way through this journey.
