Hey Man,

I am suffering from the same thing...after an intense mushroom trip. Would love to talk to you about it more...I have had thoughts of suicide as well but don't get in to the evil. Stay strong, you are a survivor. Keep fighting to regain your clarity, work out. Take lots of vitamins....think positive.

We can get through this...there is light at the end of the tunnel. Use this as a learning experience...Let's talk via email, whats your email?

Thanks,

Don

Hey, I understand what you are going through. I have been there myself. Your problem might have been unlocked from drug use, but it is not entirely related to that. Anxiety is a really complex human issue and it takes real dedication, time and effort to get through it. I have been through that and even though I won, it still affects my life at points. I can help you with advice, suggestions and even talking random things. I am open to chat with you if you wish, I can imagine what you are going through. However, you must first help yourself. Quitting life is easy. It's simple you just kill yourself, but why? What would that bring? Why? Your life is amazing man. Think about it, you are this complex being that is here by pure chance and has the opportunity to explore this world. Anyways buddy, get back to my previous posts, that's where I have said very fundamental things that must help one fight his anxiety. My first post is - Guest 4/19/14 3:31 PM - the second - Guest 5/4/14 9:24 AM - the third - Guest 5/11/14 2:06 AM. They are all on the second page. Read through it, that's how basically my philosophical thinking helped me win over my sever anxiety. I uses to have insane panic attacks. In many occasions where I was close to ending my life. Please, stay strong my brother.. there is hope :) You will be better, I PROMISE YOU!!! You just need share off the negative thoughts and slowly gain your confidence. Please re-read my previous posts and get back to me if you need help. Reply to this one, *Warning! Do not post your e mail address!*, I will write you. I wish you the best.

Hello again i'm fellie i had trouble loggin in with my account so am posting as guest. I really appreciate for responding me,i red again and again...but stilll i cant feel any better. i have searched inside me alot to see whats making me feel like these...i ended with that,... i think i cant be myself anymore, or i cant be how i was before the mushrooms, this idea make me sick, i cant handle it that i have to life the rest of my life like that ,,this freaking idea make me feel like i am jailed for eternity..i, i just wished every single moment to revert the time before that event. i know i cant,... and the idea to keep living like this make me sick.. i dont want too.. i really wished i could erase this event of my memory..maybe its this that making me feel so sick and depressed,...the idea to live like that from now on....((( P.S. 5 friends that tasted shrooms, 2 of thems still doing, and they feeel fine, i cant understand that,when am talking to thems about my problem they make funny of me and just keep telling me that they enjoying the high and they feel like its enhanced weed and that it gives them joy...i really dont get that..also another friend, the one we tried together the shroom,, hes totally fine ,nothing wrong...so i start bealive my mind is playing games to me, and i feel like am schizo ,or it will be developed soon or later..i feel total fragmented....i also have to mention that i had traumatic childhood ..parental divorce since i was birth, and at 10-14 i had sexual abuse by older boy.)

Hey, it's the guy that told you to read previous posts.. let's just say that i am "Beetlejuice" from now on. Look, you won't find a solution straight away. As i mentioned, these kind of things take time. Patience is really important. But you really need to change something in your life in order for something to happen, otherwise you will be stuck in this black whole of despair. With some individuals it takes months, even years to "get back to normal", however we all do at some point. That itself shouldn't scare you. It may take just several months for you. Another thing, as i mentioned - it seems like that your issues are coming from something you buried deep in the past and now it bubbled up. Hang in there. Try and get help from a professional. Really, try find a therapist. You will probably get the best help in your case from someone that really knows what he's doing. As to your friends, if they are making fun of you when you have a problem, sorry but those I wouldn't consider friends. Friends are there to support you. Try look from moral support from people that care about you. Family? Good friends? Someone? We as humans all have different mindsets and different biology. We relate to each other in many similar ways, but psychedelic drugs affect us all in a completely different way. Nonetheless, you are still who you are and you will always be. We change all the time, don't get scare from changes. We experience and learn every day. You just had a special even in your life that made you get to this point. Trying to get back and change the past will only worsen your anxiety. Anxiety's main source is our internal fight to change things and the inability to let go things. You are probably fine, you just need time, dedication, effort, fight, you need to stay strong, stand up and help yourself. Please do it! Because, what you are experiencing might be the shittiest thing in the world ( like it used to be to me when I had it ) but trust me, there is way way way shittier things in life. Like knowing that you have cancer and you are going to die regardless of you wanting it or not... Stand up an get on your feet! Fight hard and one day you will look back at this and think how could something like possibly happen to you. Do you have a hobby? Get yourself one! You really need to work hard! You cannot possibly sit, berate yourself for what you did and expect things to change. Nobody says that it is easy. But, it is possible and that is a reason enough to make one fight!

As they both said enjoy new things and don't try to dread in this feeling I've been taking vitamin b3 and I slowly start to feel better but yet the whole depersonalation is still there and I've talk to somebody in person that's been through this at age 40. You have to force yourself and literally teach yourself to be out there I know it's tough guys but we got to keep praying that we get better

Thanks for this. I feel so much better knowing I am not alone in this and that I can get over it just by being proactive. I had a bad experience several days ago and it's been hard to leave the house.

I am having the same problem, I took shrooms 4 times and had good trips all of them. On my 5th time I took 1.7 grams and was feeling good. I smoked some weed and my trip turned horrible. I had no idea what was going on at the time. Since the trip I have felt like a ghost and felt like nothing is real. The feeling slowly starts to fade. I also have these weird thoughts I can't describe at all

This is the gospel for recovery, My bad experience was 24 years ago.I wish i had this great advise back then,I suffered for way too long by not seeking help. My advice is meditation is the fast track to regaining your centre.The advise is correct just be patient and dont beat yourself up....chins up guys..

How are u feeling now?

Hey guys. Stop being afraid, this will pass, I know from experience. I went through this exact same experience and I know from experience that what you all are going through a living f*****g hell. I was just about to graduate high school, with an acceptance letter from Harvard on my desk, and I was terrified that I had ruined my future and that there was no hope. I had no sense of who I was, I suffered from absolutely paralyzing anxiety and depression, I felt as if I could snap out of this mindset for maybe a few minutes at a time, before I was engulfed in a rush of anxious thoughts and panic attacks. I felt as if I was caught in a constant cycle of the trip that no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt break. This continued on for about 6 months, until I finally realized what I was doing wrong. DO NOT FIGHT YOUR FEELINGS. I know that I felt as if I was going to spiral deeper and deeper into psychosis unless I fought tooth and nail to regain the person that I was before bad trip. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. This is just a remaining piece of the fight or flight reflex that resulted from the anxiety attack on shrooms, which was the cause of your bad trip. In order to feel healthy again, you have to stop fighting all your emotions. This will help with your anxiety. Also, I know that I had developed a fear of my fear (panic attacks more specifically, cause thats all that they are), which is also easy to eliminate, when you feel an anxiety attack coming on, DON'T fight it, let it come, and chances are that it won't. eventually, once you figure out how to get a grasp on this severe anxiety, you will feel better. My uncle is a psychologist who went through this as well, and he said it takes about 6 months to be able to get a bit of a handle on your anxiety using the techniques that I described above, and about a year to be back to your old beautiful, happy, loving selves. 

P.S. another tip, don't always resort to meditating because sometimes it is possible to scare yourself even more. deffinatley try it, but if its not for you dont force it.

Don't force anything, let it come, find your peace, do stuff that makes you happy (I understand that this sometimes isnt possible when nothing makes you happy), and most importantly remember that it is impossible to lose yourself, no matter how convinced you are that you have. That is just your brain in complete panic attack mode.

sory for my speling...i'm a pot smoker for over 5 ears ....i hade anxiety for 8 months from a shok i thout i had HIV coz my friend was making a long 2 week joke that the girl i have sleped had aids i had simptoms like goweng crazy dizzines,weknes depresion feeling like a dark feeling is inside of me, after a ear i felt almoust completly normal and recovered, bat again my dear friend came to me with golden teacher shrooms,after that i feel like all the simptoms hase returned ,i'm very afraied not togo crazy...heeeeelp meeeee
