Hello bluelighters!
I am 19 years old, and this is about a brief panic attack that I experienced today.
In total I have tripped twice on LSD (one hit about 6 weeks ago, and one hit about 10 weeks ago) and have candy flipped (one hit with around 90mg of MDMA about 4 weeks ago). I also had a minor trip on approximately on shrooms (0.65g about 7 weeks ago). I have been smoking weed daily for about a year, though this has never given me a considerable amount of anxiety.
During my psychedelic experiences I have only had a brief "bad trip" that lasted about a minute or two. I was able to escape from the thought loop by changing a few things in my surroundings and continued to have an intense, but enjoyable trip. This experience, while pretty damn scary when it was happening, has not devastated me or anything.
Today I was in the dentist office waiting to be seen, when I had what I am sure to be a brief panic attack. I saw a tracer (I get these mini LSD visual flashbacks every so often) and within about 3-4 seconds everything got "intense" (in a bad way). I suppose this flashback somehow induced the panic attack. One of my immediate thoughts was that I needed to get out of the room, but after thinking about rescheduling and such I decided against it. From here I just laid my head down and closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on my breathing (I counted each breath to try to distract myself from any negative thought loops). After "coming down" from the panic attack, which was only about a minute long, I was still considerably anxious for about 20-30 minutes just due to the fact that I was not sure what happened.
This was weird since it seemed to be the LSD tracer that induced the panic attack, when I am really not that scared of having a "bad trip" (not more so than the other person).
Has anyone experienced something similar to my situation, and if so is this likely to continue? I know weed is known to produce anxiety in some people, but I have not experienced this yet and am wondering if this is likely to arise?
Thanks for reading!
