What is your emotional state like while you're tripping?

In what ways are your emotions while tripping different from your emotions while sober? In other words, what is the difference in how you feel while tripping?

I was just trying to think about this question myself, but its been a while since I tripped, so I decided to post a message here because I know this is a great place to get numerous perspectives.

I'm trying to come to a better understanding of psychedelic consciousness. I'd appreciate your answers. Thanks!

 

Honestly, the emotions have become very similar. Acid forces you into a particular state. However, you don't need acid, or anything else for that matter, to be in this state of "love" as I call it. I don't really have anything else to comment on the matter, I hope it relates to your intended purpose.

 

for me, its like if my mind was my lungs, the feeling is that of inhaling

 

You read Alan Watts? This sounds as his interpretation of Nirvana as non clenching. Well said.


When I trip I am always awed by the now and want to stay there.

 

my emotions while tripping are the say that i get non-tripping, only more intence.

in the beggining of every trip iv had the last few years i always get this uncomfortable void feeling, as if somthing inside me were missing. seems every time im asking..."why do i keep doing this to myself?" my body feels overwhelmed and i feel overwhelmed by the fact that i have a body.

this tends to pass with the come up and at some point before the end i remember why i keep doing this to myself

 

i don't know if words can describe it...and i also think the question is slightly misleading. i think emotions is the wrong term because in many ways i think i am without emotion when i am in the deep part of a trip. this isn't always the case no so please don't take what i am saying the wrong way .

but in the deepest part of the trip its more of a state of complete awe, a state of completely accepting the present moment and if you feel it deep enough a sense of oneness with the driving force that is common to all things

i agree it is about the now. i don't know about wanting to stay there because on my first mushroom trip i was told it was easy to get caught up in things and to never hold yourself to one experience for too long. i have put this advice to use in my lsd trips too

but seriously in the actual full blown moment of the trip its less emotion more awe than anything else

a calm state of mind that is at peace with the present moment

---i haven't had a bad trip but what i just described is more of when i am really gone

otherwise i can agree with archemetis if i am having regular emotions they might be more accentuated or i might understand them a bit more. at other times things that might cause me to feel a particular emotions say scared in my sober state make me feel calm or laugh while tripping...so in a sense my emotional triggers can be affected

sorry this is a tough question lol

 

yea i agree with archemitis, they are the same but fuller and more intense.

 

I was sad when i was tripping on acid...I was ina depressive state.....It wasnt until the next day i felt like i could jump 40 feet into the air.

 

First off, different drugs and psychs do different things to you. So it is hard to say in general where they put you.

They all make me very happy, loved, a feeling for showing my love to those who respect it, joy, surprise, optimism, anticipation, trust, submission, content and sometimes sadness. But not often do I think about unhappy things while on drugs. I am a positive person and like to stay on the positive.

This is a very hard question and very hard to answer. Drugs make you think about alot of things that you wouldn't regularly think about. It pulls some deep emotions and thoughts out of the woodworks and you feel compelled to let them out and put them to rest.
