"bad" psilocybin mushroom trip
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 24th, 2020 3:59 PM Author: cracking stage crotch First time on psilocybin. My cousin described her trip as being like "therapy on steroids." Decided to take the plunge after seeing positive changes in her after her use.
A very difficult 6 hour period, and I spent much of it crying. Also vomited 3 or 4 times, though I didn't mind that so much. Not sure to what extent my life has been changed, but my body does feel lighter, or more accurately, less weighed down.
Taking questions. |

Date: February 24th, 2020 4:17 PM Author: cracking stage crotch I was tripping very hard. The auditory and visual hallucinations were very disorienting. I didn't really have the capacity to think at all during the trip, and there wasn't any insight to tie everything together. I was basically shot out into space for a few hours on a bone rattling ride aboard a rickety spaceship.
I did have a glimpse into my compulsive behavior and saw that there is freedom to act differently. It's one thought that I keep with me, but it's still hard to refrain from bad habits. |

|
Date: February 24th, 2020 4:52 PM Author: cracking stage crotch I had a few hours of a warm afterglow of emotions. But otherwise, I haven't felt less depressed in the intervening week since the trip. If anything, I feel like diving into difficult emotions is allowing them to surface, making day to day experience more difficult. But it is also allowing me to cry and achieve some catharsis, even after the trip. I think it will take some time to achieve equilibrium and integration.

Care to provide a narrative of the trip? What compulsive behavior did you become aware of?
I picked up 20-30 tabs of lsd and have been thinking of running some psychedelic therapy trips with my friends. I think I know how to be a good guide for these. |

Date: February 24th, 2020 11:28 PM Author: puce sex offender I can't compare the two because I did shrooms in college when my brain and mental state were very different. I recall it being similar to your experience in that it was fragmented, disorienting, and very uncomfortable at times. My second trip did provide a breakthrough of sorts where I learned self-acceptance though it wasn't pleasant by any means. Both times were 3.5 grams.
I tried LSD more recently (10+ yrs later) and I'm more comfortable in my own skin, and mature. I'd say my experience on LSD is way cleaner, less of a body load, I'm in more control, I'm fairly coherent, and generally lighter. But I don't know if that's just me, the circumstances, the drug, or fact that I'm using smaller doses.
Each time has been 100 mics, or 1 tab. These are pretty small doses, I think. I didn't combine shrooms with any therapy because I barely knew wtf I was doing back in college. However, with LSD, I've tried listening to certain music. I found a Vice article about this neuroscientist grad student who constructed the perfect playlist for a psychedelic trip. He's got a few playlists on Spotify. Then I went camping and listened to that shit and just tripped in the mountains. Shit was beautiful.
Next trip I think I'll listen to some binaural beats. |
|
Date: February 24th, 2020 11:49 PM Author: cracking stage crotch Interesting. I've been wondering if I can still achieve emotional catharsis on a lower dose. Maybe it'll provide a more controlled experience. Only one way to find out, I guess!
I tried to listen to the Spotify playlist used for the psilocybin study at Johns Hopkins. But I found it too distracting and stopped the music pretty quickly once my trip started. |

Date: February 24th, 2020 5:02 PM Author: cracking stage crotch Yeah, I probably wouldn't have gotten a lot out of it in my 20s. As difficult the experience was, I'm glad that I took it now. I read about studies of psilocybin helping terminal cancer patients come to better grips with their mortality. Seems like if you want to use it as therapy, it's best to wait until your 30s.

|
Date: February 24th, 2020 9:08 PM Author: cracking stage crotch I must have looked like an absolute lunatic. I was vigorously shaking limbs at one point, and used up an entire box of tissues for the tears. Can't imagine having done this anywhere but in the privacy of my home.
A couple of things I'm fairly sure of, based on previous experiences as well as the psilocybin use:
The body stores emotions
There are motor impulses associated with emotions
Crying can release emotions |

|
Date: February 24th, 2020 11:26 PM Author: cracking stage crotch Most of the tears just came. My working hypothesis is that emotions are stored in the body. I carry quite a bit of tension in the shoulder and shoulder blades. I know there's emotional association there because I can feel them become extra tense when I'm angry. When I paid attention to these areas, the tears came and I would cry for a while. After a breather, I would mentally return to the tension, then the tears would come again. This cycle repeated a number of times.
But I also cried extra hard while reflecting on some painful early childhood experiences. |

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone if you ask around discreetly. Weirdly enough, you can also legally buy all the supplies you need to grow your own mushrooms.
I was pretty focused on using it for therapy, so I took it alone. I don't think I'd ever take it with someone around; I'd be afraid of freaking them out, as well as of them interfering with the process. |

A lot of the other research chemical psychedelics are interesting too if you want a different experience from shrooms. 5-meo-mipt is my favorite - almost like an empathogen. 4-ho-met is fun |

|
Date: February 24th, 2020 11:41 PM Author: cracking stage crotch Yes, I'm glad for the massively cathartic experience. At the time it felt dangerous and like a punishment. It's now been a week and even now I can feel difficult emotions arise from a deeper place. It's a little early to call it, but I feel as though this is helping me deal with unhealthy emotions.
One definite change I can speak of is a reduced fear of dying. Mortality became an especially charged topic for me once I had a child, but I think the mushroom trip changed the wiring somehow. I find that the thought of dying doesn't make me freeze with fear like it used to. Or maybe it's just placebo effect based on my readings about psilocybin helping cancer patients deal with their mortality.
I think I'll do it again after a few months. Maybe in the summer. I don't think it's something I'll want to do very often, though. It seems like it will take some time to process what I went through before I'm ready again.
What has your experience been like? |

I had what a lot of people would consider a bad trip, but I explicitly wanted to use mushrooms to deal with difficult emotions and hopefully to heal, so I expected to experience difficulty and more or less accepted it all as necessary. |

Date: February 25th, 2020 1:37 PM Author: 180 awkward school codepig IMO A “bad trip” is a much more traumatic experience than what you’re describing. You can come out of it feeling even more mentally ill (anxiety and depression symptoms become much worse, moments of derealization/depersonalization for a while after). I’ve only experienced that once in my life on a huge dose and i didn’t touch shrooms again for a few years after (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4452352&forum_id=2#39650336) |

Date: February 25th, 2020 2:03 PM Author: cracking stage crotch I'm having a hard time, for what it's worth. Definitely experiencing heightened emotions like fear, loneliness. It's also been harder to attend to activities of daily living.
I did have a substantial cry this morning, which relieved some of these feelings. |

Date: February 25th, 2020 11:31 AM Author: flesh milk menage Only sounds like you did a little too much for the first time and maybe didnt have the right padding in your stomach or hydration issue. I've never been really nauseous or thrown up on shrooms but always hear how it's very common.
Last time I had 2 weeks of unmitigated 180 anxiety relief. Allowed me to calibrate a bit and was def worth it. Looking to get some acid to see the difference. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2020 11:43 AM Author: cracking stage crotch Was it a temporary relief from anxiety, or did something more permanent come out of it?
I must have peed at least 6 or 7 times during the trip, and I think I drank over 100 ounces of water. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2020 11:53 AM Author: flesh milk menage I was in a pretty bad spot after my mother died and I moved out of the US. It kicked some depression out and relieved a lot of anxiety. New things to be anxious about came after, but it still helped me build some tools to address it more quickly and to a certain extent not let it become all consuming like it had previously. I prob do it twice a year now, and each time I get a nice "reset" and a few weeks of afterglow as well. Some people have a hard time in public, but I enjoy it and can still function. Last time I went to a big park and laid in the grass and played with my dog and chilled at sunset. Was great.
Also, some people have a hard time digesting it thus vomiting. Next time try making a shroom tea instead - just gotta not steep it too hot or else it kills the psilocybin. |
|
Date: February 25th, 2020 12:05 PM Author: cracking stage crotch Sounds like it helped you quite a bit in a really tough time in your life. 180.
I chopped up the mushroom and steeped it for about 10 minutes. Also drank some grapefruit juice with it. After downing the tea, I ate the mushroom grounds in a moment of abandon anyway. I could be wrong, but I thought that there might be an emotional aspect to the vomiting. |

Date: February 25th, 2020 5:08 PM Author: puce sex offender If you're looking to revisit some of those issues I'd suggest trying a single dose of LSD or 100 mics. It won't be as intense but still enough. I'd also suggest planning out your trip a little. I would be bouncing off the walls restless if I had to stay in my bedroom for 6 hours.
