Does anyone else have this problem a lot on psych's? The last time i tripped i had looping thoughts and was obsessed with circles and how everything in my life seemed to tie together if i sat there and thought about it enough8o It eventually drove me crazy lol, but has anyone else ever had trouble like this?
 
I've had a few thought loops before. They are absolutely great or absolutely frightening imo. Once I saw the nature of life from beginning to end that one had me pretty freaked not gonna lie :D

Yes, I have had them before. Once I saw myself inside of a kaleidoscope and I thought to myself "I'll never be the same...even though I will come out of this" and my thoughts were almost being represented visually by the kaleidoscope.

The real thing though, is realizing that you already have these loops going on. Only through meditation and whatnot can you actually break free from them (and even then...some loops, like the body circuit...you can't really break free from, you'll always notice your body's wants and needs...so you must tend to them and learn what is a need and what is simply a bored mind.
 
i have schizophrenia and i have had those a lot over the years.. weed does it, but acid even stronger.. i often think it is because my mind doesn't get the full import of what it is hearing the first time over - it wants to roll over soundbites and phrases until it is sure that your conscious mind understands..

it reminds me - when i was little like 4 - 12 - every time i spoke i would hear the words in my mind after saying them.. eventually i started to say them out loud under my breath - my friends thought it was weird and i wouldn't even be aware of it..
 
On Salvia and 2C-E I found myself getting stuck in a loop where I kept repeating nonsense words to myself over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Gets annoying so I try to limit my doses on those substances.

LOL my dad does that! For the same reasons, too -- he was asked why he always would echo his words in a whisper and he gave a similar explanation.
 
your dad and i probably share the same parasitic mind worm that echoes our thoughts telepathically to the hive collective.. if only science would create tools to view their existence we could stop their master plan.. if only... ...

my brother did this when he was younger. i think i teased him and he stopped.
 
got it really bad on my last mushroom trip.

it started with pacing around the apartment in a loop for maybe an hour (who knows how long). I kept thinking the gas stove was on, then I thought my roommate got lost and left the apartment, then I remembered I was thirsty. I walked around the apartment maybe 10 times.

Then it got into my head. I thought I was dead, then I realized I was tripping, then I thought I was dead, etc... I literally had 5 second thought loops from maybe 4 to 7am. It was terrible.


A much more pleasureful loop was on a large dose of mescaline. Instead of paranoid thoughts, I was about to see loops from basic little things, all the way to the vastest scale. Conversation ran in beautiful spirals of increasing complexity.

Since the mushroom loop, I'm apprehensive to try any psychedelics again. I'd never want to be in that loop again....
 
^^if you get in a loop like that again, maybe try leaving the apartment? just go for a walk.

last time i felt i was entering a nasty thought loop on 2ce, i said out loud "fuck this, i gotta do something," went for a walk, and all was well

just some kind of change of scenery
 
I had this with my very first LSD experience. Although, it didn't seem to trouble me and was rather enjoyable. I took the cyclical nature of my mind to be in direct correlation with the natural laws of our microcosm. Maybe you should try embracing this rather than seeing it as a problem? And maybe your mind is trying to tell you something and you haven't grasped it quite yet?

Or you have a neuro-tube clogged :P
 
I was once stuck in a time loop in which I was continually re-experiencing one minute of a song, over and over again. I wouldn't consider the cyclic nature of psychedelics to be a "problem" however. They have opened my eyes to the cyclic nature of karma, and time itself.

this is probably a good idea. I really couldn't even dream of leaving that apartment, but I am in a better space mentally and physically right now, so I doubt I'd enter into another loop like that.
 
I've been caught in loops of laughter.. where i've forgotten what i was laughing at but continue to laugh and then start to worry that i've gone insane as im laughing maniacally for a reason i can no longer define.

The worst loops i;ve had have been where i'd loop on the meaning of existence, i'd run through an infinite number of conclusions each becoming more intricate then the next, each conclusion good or bad justifying my own means of existence.. this is usually brought about by LSD, where i can't seem to grasp the concept of infinity and therefore try to rationalize 'everything' which sends me into a 'loop' of duality.

I've had both of those. the first on mushrooms, the second on high dose mescaline.
 
The only times I've ever been subject to "thought loops" were during acid trip comedowns. They were simply an effect of deteriorated short term memory, which is always present for me at the tail end of acid trips. I'd ask myself a question, and somewhere along the path to finding an answer, my train of thought would be irrevocably sucked into neverland, so I'd have to ask myself the question and begin the process all over again.

During trips themselves, I seem to have a fairly linear progression of thought.
 
Last weekend had my first experience with LSD. As I found out later, it was around 300 mics. After three hours curled up in the bathroom not realizing who I was or why I couldn't tell where I was, I went outside and meditated. About 15 minutes later I was at an extremely solid and patently blissful +++.

With 2c-e I find the best method is to meditate on a thought and force it into a loop. You can blaze through concepts very quickly in that state. Also helps to preserve short term memory.
 
i had such a bad thought loop this weekend
me and 2 friends took 1 hit of very potent acid each n we got stuck in an infinate loop where we analyzed that which starts must stop and die and then is reborn again searching for what it already found but doesnt remember and so on.

it got so bad we alll expereienced ego death cuz of it O.o we even left n changed setting 3 times n it didnt help at all!!! Sucks cuz it was there first time :(
 
i know exactly what your talking about, i get a feeling that everything is just a metaphor for everything...and that life and reality and existence is just the same thing happening infititly but just takes different forms, its actually a beautiful feeling for me, not nerve racking or crazy at all.
