How did you get out of a bad trip?

Focus your attention on your breath...

and then get ready to keep refocusing it!!

 

Tripping on daylight savings time sounds extremely insane, haha.

I hate LSD, Shrooms, and Marijuana. My brain is a pussy.

 

when things get rough, i recomend asking yourself why you feel uncomfortable, because what is setting you off is generally a surface level issue. chase the problem to the root. whats the core issue. once you realise it you can then learn how to release it and deal with it, not only for the remainder of you trip but in everyday life as well. the psychedelic expirience is a reflection of our human expirence.

the core issue it usually comes down to for me is being an individual in an infinatly vast universe, isolated and alone in individual conciousness. not knowing from where i came, or who i trully am, or what the reason behind existance is. youv got to confront the core issue.

 

^ bang

the only tried and tested way to get out of a bad trip and grow as a human being

 

This brings an interesting new slant to the term 'mindfuck'.

 

Clever

 

I don't know what it is. I've done that countless times, and it just seems to make things worse. I can't even handle Marijuana. After 2 hits of pot, my world comes crashing down on me, I feel like I can't breathe, it's hard to swallow, and I just want it to end because I feel like I am dying. Before you say it must be the type of weed I am smoking, or the way I am smoking it, I've done it every way imaginable, and smoked plenty of different types/strains of weed...it just doesn't agree with me. I just tell people I am allergic to it if they offer, haha.

Same thing happens on acid/shrooms. I start feeling it, and I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach and a lump in my throat, and start thinking "omg, why did I take this!" Then I feel like I can't breathe. I try focusing on breathing, to make myself understand that I AM breathing, but I can't even feel myself breathe. Then I feel like I can't swallow, and I start freaking out. I try to tell myself, it's just the drugs, I will be down in no time, just ride it out, everything is fine. It doesn't work.

I start panicking, thinking I am going to die, and then the hallucinations make things 20x worse. I freak out because the wall is breathing, and I just feel like my whole world is collapsing on me. I haven't even tripped that hard, the most I have ever gotten was the walls breathing, and the carpet patterns shifting, nothing too intense, and I still couldn't handle it. I just lay there, basically crying, hoping for it to end.

I just can't handle feeling out of control like that, it sucks, because I think acid/shrooms have the potential to be mindblowing, but my mind won't allow me to think like that. It just scares the shit out of me that I can't feel my body or face, I can't breathe, and the walls are shifting patterns.

Ugh just thinking about it makes me almost go into a panic attack.

 

Maybe you keep experiencing it because you think it is going to happen. maybe you've (subconsciously) "programmed" your mind to do that and now you just have to reprogram yourself into thinking it is all in your head (which it is).

So you're scared when this happens? Maybe it isn't anything to be afraid of. Just let it be. The only thing to fear, is fear itself.

any help? lol

 

oh man u4ia don't do ketamine lol. that shit will consistently make you think your dying, because you really CANT feel your body, or your heart beating, or your breathing.

these things are best done by those ready to die :samurai:

 

when you have a bad trip there is no way of getting out. ive had 2 bad trips and what i did is i just had my buddys take me and put me somewhere where i could lay out and get confortable and do what i do on an everyday basis then i felt more at home and i could get back to my adventure of exploring my mind and do my best to fix my probloms

 

I love Ketamine. I haven't done enough to actually go into a K-Hole, but I love little bumps and feelings floaty. I don't really think I could handle a complete K-Hole if it is just like you make it sound.

Does anybody have any tips to help me with my trips? I am scared shitless to drop again because of the difficult experiences I have had...

 

The problem is that you're scared shitless period

this fear will come with you into whatever place you go

you have to deal with your fear of death, or more generally, your fear of letting go of things, ultimately your own body, mind, and life.

 

I find any sort of human contact useful for managing a rough patch. even just leaning up against someone. also gentle or spiritual music such as brian eno or harold budd, also drawing.

 

i totally agree with the human contact when i had my first trip and it was bad i wanted to just touch anybodys hand or anything but i was with the wrong group and i was left alone in a super trippy room which sucked

 

My fear of death is out of control.

About once a week I think about the fact that I am going to die, and I have an extreme panic attack. Thinking about the fact that everything I know, everything I love, etc...is going to be gone....life seems pointless if it ends. I hate it...I cry, I freak out... I don't know what to do.

Mr. Writer do you have AIM because I really think talking to you will help me.

Anyone who thinks they can help me, please add me on AIM too.... I really need it.

iiu4iaii

 

Do you think if I was tripping with someone that would be able to explain things you guys are, would help me? Would it be better if that person was sober? Would it freak me out if I was tripping and they were sober telling me how to feel/react?

 

Yes i think if you tripped with someone who was very comfortable tripping they could help you out. I've been there for people having bad trips and it seems to greatly help, sometimes making it a good trip, sometimes cluing them into why they are having the bad trip (and thus giving them the keys to fixing it).

It's the most basic human impulse we're programmed with, and then told by society is true and correct and the way to go; "Whatever you do, don't die!" lol.

Watch The Last Samurai, and see if you can put yourself in Kat's shoes. See if you could actually go through with what he did. If not, why not? Explore it, poke at it, flip it upside down and put it under a microscope . . . this is a problem you have, not a problem that has you

i don't have aim but you can pm me anytime or email me mr.writer at gmail dot com

 

this is good.

the thing with bad trips is they have an end. so, please, enjoy it while it last!

 

Cool, thanks for that explanation.

If you are ever coming to FL, let me know! Haha.
