Hey guys,
I just have a few questions about my first trip on LSD (1P-LSD and BK-2-CB to be exact). Ill start by mentioning I've only done shrooms in the past about 3 times, although no newcomer to ketamine or 2c-e/b. I took a laughable dose of half a 100ug blotter, while I was just coming up from about 200mg bk-2-cb (Spaced evenly through about 4 hours) and even this felt like I'd over done it.
But anyway, my first question is trouble breathing, and I don't mean pain wise, I mean actually thinking about breathing so much that I'd stop and then a few seconds later would have to 'manually' make myself breath again. Common sense tells me I was just in a bit of a bad trip, but this lasted about an hour or so. What was worrying me was I wasn't sure if I was taking shorter breaths than usual, was I getting enough oxygen to my brain etc. If anything from this I'd like to know how people combat this sort of bad trip for next time (Since I bought quite a stock of 1P), I did try breathing exercises but to no avail. Thinking about it now, could it be linked with my anxiety?
My second question is a little embarrassing but we're all friends here, how common is it to feel like you're peeing on psychedelics? iirc when I took shrooms last I got into a terrible trip where I legit thought I was pissing in my bed, ran to the toilet and stayed there for 30 mins trying to pee, even though I know now my bladder would have been pretty empty. This sort of happened last night to the extent where I felt like I couldn't enjoy the trip because I was always on edge about pissing in my bed (Another factor is I live with family, and they don't know that I trip, so would be super awkward to explain why I pissed the bed). Towards the end of my trip (when I realized it was fading), I sort of bit the bullet and just ignored it and really enjoyed the last hour or so of my trip and then regretting not doing it sooner. But I just wanted to know how common this is.
My last question, in terms of "letting go" (which both questions sort of fit into) - There was 1 point that stands out where the sound of silence and my trip were in complete sync, I felt so close to it going further but broke out of it. I can only describe the noise as metal being dragged along metal, but in sync to the OEV's, and there were a few seconds of bliss being felt all over my body, but only to loose it just as quick. At the time I was thinking, 'shit is this really it? should I even be thinking about what to do etc.' Which is when I noticed my breathing rate was higher than usual, and got into the loop of 'was that being close to a real trip, or just lack of oxygen' and I never reached that point again. Gut feeling now is the moment I realised my breathing was deeper was I was having a mild panic attack possibly? This is what I mean by being scared to let go, not knowing what will happen etc.
Now, I know this will make me sound like a hypochondriac and that I should just 'let go' to the trip, but with these things answered and cleared up I guess it'll make the next trip go a bit smoother hopefully. I think I just think way too much into it (Typically a problem for me anyway, thinking too much into things) and perhaps too scared to let myself go to a true psychedelic moment. I'd love to be able to just find myself and enjoy the trip as much as possible.
Thanks in advanced, and sorry if this post is a little bit too long for what I'm asking
