Stuck in a DMT trip(?)

[ds3638]

Hey everyone, I am writing to this to see if anyone has had a similar experience with DMT which has left you feeling mentally stuck in some sense.

So, I hit DMT a bunch a while back and did in some ways borderline take it a bit much. I had had a few breakthrough experiences after which I felt that to take DMT and not breakthrough would be a somewhat let down. The strange thing that happened was that after a point my DMT experience always came back to the same place which I could describe as rolling ego death. I am not sure how much of a taboo it is to describe an experience, but I have decided to bite the bullet and see if I can get help getting mentally unstuck.

The place that I enter I can best describe as some strange sentience observing the trip and prompting me to breakthrough. There's nothing to fear to be honest, but it really does feel like a complete unravelling is about to occur. When I say complete, I mean the whole complete unravelling like near-death. It feels like my consciousness has split into two ever since. There's some place that I subjectively feel that I am tightly clinging to. Words cannot describe how strange it feels. It seems to me like I am still on DMT. There are no strong visuals or bodily sensations. It's like permanent headspace.

To alleviate my situation, I moved to mindfulness practice and empathetic practice. The practice has helped me find little pieces of joy here and there. Now I have decided that the only block I am experiencing in opening my mind to others further is this mental split I have been experiencing for quite some time now.

If anyone has had this experience and has found some way of effectively ending the sensation of clinging or being in a DMT trip, then please share.

I did acid recently after smoking a bunch of weed along with it and the trip felt so foreign. I felt completely dissociated from everything around me, and I might have scared someone who was also tripping with me (for their first time) into having a bad trip. The whole trip I felt completely sober and don't recall the peak. My guess is that I unintentionally 'hijacked' their trip and scared them to the point of crying.

thought loop or flashback to those loops

It sounds like you are experimenting heavily with the psychedelics. Not a bad thing, but proceed with caution.

Like @Shady's Fox said it does sound like you are experiencing thought loops, dissociation and flashbacks. Not uncommon with psychedelics.

I suggest you take some time off between trips. Let your psyche digest the experience. While DMT and LSD are both very "safe" chemicals in terms of they're not going to kill you; they can definitely give you some mental health issues - which could be short term, long term or even permanent.

You might not be in the right setting in your life to be fooling around with these highly intense experiences. Take it from me bro, I went through a 5 month binge on DMT/LSD/mushrooms. At one point I was smoking DMT 3x per day and combining it with both the shrooms and acid. I was also in a really bad place in life witch alcoholism and chronic sleep deprivation among other drugs. One day my brain snapped and I was diagnosed with drug induced schizophrenia which thank god went away after 2-3 years (for the most part).

I'm not trying to scare you off from doing psychedelics. Just remember they need to be highly respected. Take it easy, if you get what I am saying.

There are a lot of mental conundrums psychedelics can bring out, especially DMT and LSD. You need to learn how to handle them, it's part of being a psychonaut.

As for DMT it definitely gives me flashbacks... and weird shit like random things will smell and taste like DMT for weeks after using it.

I wouldn't worry too much, but take my words as good advice: psychedelics need to be treated with great respect.

Good luck my young psychonaut.

Similar to rumination, change your environments patterns but BE CAREFUL, with big fuckin letters. You can die, for real everyone out there who did DMT and other shits and they had loops, they know the basic to be careful how you change your environment. When you come back -- let's talk. Hope you safe

rumination

One of the biggest trip killers and causes of mental health IMO

it's like psychological suicide

rumination about negative things....

Frequent shroom doses, stress and sleep deprivation gave me drug induced schizophrenia.

I talk about this 5 month binge, but the last 2 months were just shrooms 2-3 times per week. And that triggered it for me...

Be careful, friend.

I've heard of this happening but I also heard it goes away rather quickly as long as you stop doing shrooms i already diagnosed schizoeffective and have schizoid personality disorder along with other things including ptsd and rapid cycling bi polar

took 2 years for it to go away for me... and I'm still left with 2 symptoms that are likely permanent

honestly man if you're already schizo diagnosed you should not be frequently dosing shrooms...

but hey none of my business

I'm not telling you what to do, friend. I'm really not judging you.

All I'm saying is ignoring mental illness, ignoring my body screaming for sleep and nutrition.... I snapped and went through the most hellish year of psychosis and schizo. I lost my job, was homeless, was in intense mental and physical pain.... I NEVER want to go there again.

Only you know your own body and mind... which is exactly why I still use LSD and stuff like that after having schizo. I know my body and mind, and it's OK with it now in moderation.

I'm just telling you to be careful from altruistic thoughts trying to spare another the pain and insanity I experienced.

Godspeed.

Damn mine wasn't that bad and yea i know I try to be as careful as possible

Frequency of trips is what did me in bro. Just be moderate.

What do you mean by change your environment patterns?

 

[Shady's Fox]

What do you mean by change your environment patterns?

What can it possible mean, let's see. Change environment patterns, hard -- change little stuff to adjust your back to normal like for e.g > Learn to control your thoughts by having some activity because if you're just sitting and doing nothing -- it can get even worse, even worse you hear me? even worse. Now you know, everyone with what he can but I firmly believe this is just an illusion created by your brain and if you ignore it, it will go away. You have to understand that this may be just a simple after-glow -- anyhow I don't this it's linked to serotonin
