Feeling terrible after shrooms

Hi i have had the same experience, i took about 2 grams of shrooms like 3 months ago and it was a real bad trip. I also has the whole feeling and thinking of heaven and hell and the feeling of God being angry at me. It was very intense. After that i dont quite feel the same, im suffering from alot of anxiety and stress and it makes me feel sad and angry because i have never felt this before. I also used to smoke alot of weed but it seemed like evrytime i smoked weed after that day of the trip i just got more anxious and paranoid. I have since then stopped smoking weed which really sucks. And im still suffering from all this anxiety. How did u overcome this? Have u overcome it?

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to spread this type of positivity and helpful words. You truly helped me an incredible amount. I'm experienced with psychedelics but have been a little depersonalized lately.

Hy.On the September 23rd 2015 I ate shrooms and had a bad trip. I ate once before and it was the single most best experience of my life. For about two years I have morning anxiety but I was able to deal with it. Two days after the trip I ended in the psychiatric ambulance because I coudn't stop shaking, vomiting and having very bad thoughts. I was even suicidal on trip and two days after, They gave 10 mg or normabel (that's diazepamum) and immediatly after they released me I came back shaking even more and convinced I was crazy. Also I forgot to mention that when I was on trip I was convinced that I'll stay on it and never be normal again. So, when I came back they gave me 20 mg or normabel by IV and I was so sedated that everything was cool. Then my mother came and when I saw how worried she was I started crying and felt like sh*t. I think it was from the drugs because earlier I was in such a spazam I didn't feel any emotion except anxiety and fear of going insane. They prescribed me normabel and calixta ( antidepressant) and I was ok. I took it for 2 days and then went to a psychiatrist and she told me I don't have to take antidepressant if I don't want to and I was fine for few days until I smoked a joint and had a panic attack and similar feeling like I was on a trip and it f*****g scared the sh*t out of me. Took me 2 days to get my sh*t together again. Now my morning anxiety is even worse and  I need to stop worrying about things that will probably never happen. But that anxiety is sometimes so strong that I need to take a pill because I just want to kill that feeling. I'm anxious to get better and I think that that's what's making me more anxious. It's a f*****g circle. To sumarise, the text bellow is really helpfull and I hope I can get through this. All my friends think I'm overreacting but they've never experienced something like that. I am very postive now since I read all this and because in one note is written to talk about it because my boyfriend thinks it's worrying me talking to people about this but I feel better when I do. And I too felt in one moment that it's some sign of psychosis if I talk about it. I just need some support and I'd love to hear are you guys well and how long did it take you. sorry for language mistakes, it's not my first language.

thanks for your help man i really appreciate it.

ive never been able to smoke after being a stoner forever and also ate1.5 gs ofshrooms why

Thank god I'm not alone in this, it's probably been 4 or 5 months maybe longer since I tripped. I had a wonderful amazing time until I redosed, and after doing so fell into an extremely horrible trip. I was completely disconnected from reality and time, I lost sight of who I was completely and couldn't remember any of the people I was with besides my boyfriend. It took me to a very very dark place and I couldn't stop crying, I felt like I was just a tiny thing inside of my body and nothing even matters anymore. Physical items didn't matter, nothing. I felt like I could kill myself and it wouldn't even matter.
I also felt stuck in time, I remember checking my phone and it was like 9:30 and then I checked my phone what seemed like 3 hours later and it was like 9:45. This HORRIFIED ME. I was completely convinced I was stuck in an alternate universe and I was never going back to the one I knew before. I was convinced 100% it was going to be like this forever and that was the most terrifying thing I've ever felt.
So basically the next day comes and I'm finally done tripping and I feel normal again.. But even to this day I am not the same.
I think of the world in a much different way than I did before, I could honestly say I was content with life before... But now. I feel worthless, like a tiny thing in the universe that doesn't amount to sh*t, mushrooms made me see the world in an awful terrible way and it made me not want to live on this planet anymore. Luckily I have a boyfriend who I've been with for the past 4 years, who was also soothing me through my bad trip. He makes everything okay when I'm with him, but I hate being alone. I honestly am so afraid of myself. I feel like I have no interest in anything anymore and my emotions are constantly changing, I go from being fine to having something trigger in my brain and then suddenly I'm extremely mad about something so little, and then I'm just sad. Really sad, and low. I hate myself If we're being honest. I keep lashing out on my boyfriend and he doesn't deserve it at all. I literally cannot control my emotions anymore. I hate myself now because of that and I hate myself because I cannot even explain what the f**k is going on in my head, it's just so jumbled up.

I took shrooms for my first time in February this year had a terrible time.. Everything that you could think of happened, I've never been a person to be scared but te trip scared me so bad.. What I have been told though however is that it's an anxiety disorder. you was scared like I was, you had no idea what to expect... I'm the same way I get mad about little things now (it's just stress).. Anxiety makes you worry and worrying causes stress and stress cause anxiety which is where you get pissed off.. It's all a cycle that you have to break which could be done by excerise and stuff..

Hey bro I read all of it advice and I know it works but ever since I did shroom and acid my back hansnt been the same. I actually did shrooms a week ago and that sh*t made my back worse. Im always tense as f**k Especially my neck n my lower back. Just thinking about it makes it worse cuz it kinda brings back the feeling on shrooms (not visuals) but it my body is real tense since I've done phsycadelics. Do u know how I can solve this? Like I know those drugs are still in my system due to the tension. Like I just want to completely drain them out my system and feel normal again like how I used to before I tried acid and shrooms

Hi love! My vision is the same--colors saturated, people look different. and my body is in a state of extreme tension constantly. The only thing I can do is tell myself "i'm here" and then my mind and body completely relaxes. I can feel it and then it goes right back into tension. It only lasts for a moment. Its very physical. It is very scary. Its like my mind is constantly releasing a stress hormone tensing up my body, mind and of course creating extreme feelings of fear and anxiety that naturally go along with this. Has this passed for you? At least the colors and stuff I mean because I haven't seen another post where people have seen colors.

Hi guys,

In October I took mushrooms and then took a huge bong hit after. I am a one-hit wonder so I know this was just an overwhelm to my body. It was a very intense trip, not actually bad, but at the time I felt like my thoughts, words and body were completely out of my control. Steadily for two months following I continued smoking weed. I was feeling completely different and not like myself at all and my life just kept getting worse and worse. Now I have stopped smoking (which truly breaks my heart as weed was my savior and joy. I feel it brought me to my true self and helped me be so confident and relaxed and truly happy and at ease and peaceful). And now am more aware of what is happening to me. My body and mind is in a state of complete tension constantly. When I tell myself "I'm here" I feel my mind and body relax for just a single moment and then I feel the tension going back into my forehead and into my body. It gets to the point throughout the day where my muscles will swell to an extreme degree, my legs, arms, shoulders, neck. I feel it happening. I feel pain in my body, like in my old injuries in my knees and wrist. And I know its because of the tension building up from my mind and not from anything else. My face turns red, in fact my whole body turns red. And along with this comes extreme fear. I am basically in a state of complete fear. I believe my body is releasing a chemical constantly causing this. And please understand it is NOT the thoughts I am thinking. Truly. It is very physical, it feels like a major chemical imbalance. Before I started telling myself "I'm here" I was at the point in the middle of the day where I couldn't breathe and just feel totally miserable. I am wondering if it's possible to retrain the mind by constantly telling myself "I'm here." But now its like OCD and I am saying it constantly.

It has already been three months, and I am very scared. I wake up and just feel paralyzed. Like I cannot really move or accomplish anything at all. And throughout the day it gets worse and worse. Running helps to release the body tension but it comes right back. It is constantly happening. The tension in my face and body. And my face looks like I am upset because of the tension that is in there that I cannot control. It's embarrasing. And then I get to the point where I am running into things, dropping things, forgetting things, have trouble listening to people. And I still have mushroom vision. People look differently and colors are more saturated. I am just heartbroken and so lost. Before I took mushrooms I was so happy, although I know weed helped to make me so happy. But still life was wonderful.  I live in Maui and was so blissed out every single day. Now I feel I can't even be around people or have a relationship. I am just so scared as to how long this will last and if I could just know that in time it will pass that would help the most. I just wonder how it could change and just stop one day. It's like my body is used to this and its just happening.  I have some xanax that help me go to work now which I was truly unable to before. But it is just covering up what's happening which continues to happen even with the xanax its just toned down sort of. I miss my marijuana soooo much but know that for now its not good for me because when I smoke it just amplifies everything. How can I shift this? Will this ever pass? And will I be able to smoke weed again? I even work in a head shop which makes me desire it even more. Weed truly changed my life. I had only been smoking for 6 months prior and weed was also very psychadelic for me so I wonder if even that was hard on my body. Because after never really smoking I was smoking from morning to night (only like one hit every 5 hours would be good for me though).I keep regretting that day I took mushrooms and I'm trying to let go of this it just really sucks with my life now. I feel like I am living in hell. Please please can somebody help me and guide me? 

Hi everyone,
Sorry to intrude on the discussion. I'm a BBC journalist making a programme about psychedelic substances. Would be really keen to talk to anyone about their/their family member's experience of mushrooms. If you would be happy to talk in confidence, please contact me

Thanks very much,
Hannah

Thank you everyone for posting about your experiences. It's great to know that I'm not the only one. I have been feeling a little better recently but I still don't feel the same. I'll share some details in hopes of helping someone else.

I did shrooms in a safe environment with friends for the first time about 6-7 weeks ago. The trip was great. The visuals were fantastic and I had a great time. Towards the peak I had some really weird mind-melting thoughts about how the universe works. (Are we actually individuals or part of one being? Does the entire universe exist just in my mind? What is the point of this all?) And it was more than just thinking those thoughts, it was experiencing it in a very strange way.

The chemicals leave your body pretty quickly, but I couldn't forget those thoughts and kept remembering them for weeks after. At times they made life feel hopeless and pointless. I didn't seriously consider committing suicide, but I understood it for the first time and got closer than I ever have. Sometimes I felt like I was able to just leave my body behind and my mind could just go somewhere else (but I fought against this feeling because I was afraid of what would happen if I went along with it). I don't smoke weed often (once a week at most) but when I was coming down from weed, the thoughts would hit me again and it would get really depressing and frightening.

It's getting better but the depression and anxiety caused by these thoughts is still with me. The anxiety is also causing problems with my relationship (I worry about the future too much instead of just focusing on the present). I recommend not getting high (it just makes it worse). I wish I could go back in time and not take mushrooms. Obviously, this doesn't happen to everyone, but it's a risk. I've quit smoking weed because I don't want to face those feelings again.

So thanks for everyone else and their posts! We're not alone and it seems to be getting better for me, so I hope it gets better for you fast!

I ate a little less than an eigth of mushrooms around Christmas it is now March and I'm still feeling really depressed, lost and detached from reality and myself. After my bad trip I quit smoking cigs and weed after smoking daily for 5 years and I still don't feel quite right. I've been really insecure and feeling worthless after the trip. I've lost all motivation for anything and haven't made any art which is my passion. I also had to take this semester off college because of how unstable I was and feel lame being stuck home again. And am now on 5mg of ability and 25mg of zoloft. Its been 3 months and I'm slowly coming back but I was just wondering what I could do to speed up this process. And if the meds are a smart idea or not? I'm also feeling kinda dumb and spacey since I ate the mushrooms. Is this normal?
