I had a "challenging" trip about a year ago. It felt like an anxiety attack on steroids. I applied the same method to get through it as an anxiety attack which is breathe, analyze, and know it is only temporary. The good part is "normal" anxiety no longer affects me as deeply:)
Definitely! It happened to me many times. First time I took mushrooms I had an extremely challenging trip. I was a young teenager. It scared me and several years passed before I took mushrooms again. I had about 50/50 amazing/challenging trips throughout all of the times I did them. Two years ago I had intense anxiety attacks that lasted everyday for 3 months. I learned so much and now I’m feeling well, it doesn’t happen anymore and anxiety also doesn’t affect me as deeply. I since then did a couple mushroom trips and I feel really comfortable even tho some can be challenging. I think that we (easily anxious people) need to learn about the nervous system and anxiety and understand how to deal with it, and then “bad trips” become challenging trips that we can work with and accept it
My last high dose trip was extremely challenging and I'm still processing how disturbing my hallucinations were. I'm so grateful I had my trip sitter. Stay safe out there folks 💖
I've had several bad trips on shrooms and acid, always when I was tripping alone, and I just let it wash over me and suffer through the whole trip, ha! I hate when I have a bad trip, but I've had far more positive change in my life from the bad trips compared to good ones.
I once took a small dose, a bit larger than a Microdose so I felt mushie, but not large enough that I hallucinated. I was going through a transitional period in my life and felt like I needed a little psychedelic moment to help process the change. I was in my apartment cooking dinner when it started to kick in. I went in my bed, got all cozy, and was feeling good and present. Then I got hungry and went back to the kitchen to finish dinner. While I was sautéing onions in butter I started thinking and reflecting on where I was and what I wanted and what I didn’t have and what could have been…and then I felt this energy move through my body and I started crying. It was THE hardest cry I ever had in my life. I didn’t label it as bad at all, it was more like a release. I was telling myself how good it felt to let it all out. Yeah it was uncomfortable-crying sucks. I had snot coming out of my nose and my eyes were stinging and puffy. But I knew it was good. I tend to be emotionally strong, and not let my emotions get out of control. So it was nice to have a night to myself and let the emotions run free with no judgement of others around me. The next day I felt incredibly raw and tender. Like I was emotionally hangover. Had I resisted that cry I feel like that would have manifested into something worse. So in a trip, if you feel an emotion is coming, let it out. If you don’t feel safe to let it out and hold it in, then I believe the trip will be challenging.
The overarching lesson that the Mushroom has taught me is to learn from the 'weirdness', because there is always something to learn about it.. sometimes the feelings and thoughts can become overwhelming, so embrace the weirdness, it is a teachable event, and do not fear it.
My second time taking mushrooms was technically a bad trip. They were taken the next day so I didn’t give my body and brain the time needed to recover and because of that the vibes were off due to them not hitting the same. It was okay for abit but then at night when everyone decided to sleep, my brain was basically attacking itself with my anxieties and insecurities. Instead of fighting it I let the thoughts come and soon after realized they were just pointless insecurities that I could over come. In the end, the bad trip helped me with my confidence. My second or third time taking acid however was a much different bad trip. The person I tripped with decided to try and sleep which I knew was a bad idea but decided to go along with it. While trying to sleep i was seeing crazy visuals of demons death and skeletons (from what I remember something to that line). It was definitely something that could freak someone out but I ended up enjoying the horror show. Thankfully I’m capable of taking bad trips in strides and finding enjoyment out of them. I don’t mess with acid anymore as I prefer shrooms and don’t like the possible effects acid can have on the body and mine. Don’t try sleeping on acid.
careful with that, it can wire your brain to use said substance for coping in general, I used the same cope in the 90s, a few beers or a couple xanax and it was my go to for years lol. but what the hell lol, we gotta live ✌️💚
It's good to watch your friends as well if they aren't stuck in one position starting at something. They might be in a thought loop. Got to approach them and chat up and maybe offer to move and look at something else
There is only illumination of the shadows in the corners of our hearts when we experience significant discomfort during a trip. Thank you for dispelling the myth of the “bad” trip.
there's no such thing as a bad trip, it's just a trip. hopefully you can learn something in the process. embrace the experience and go again when you're ready ✌️💚
Nice surprise seeing the Tashen books on the right. Plant Magic and Astrology I think? Just received all 4 of them recently and eagerly awaiting the 5th which just released.
Its usually pretty easy for me to keep my weekly date with Lady Fungus and not have a bad trip not matter how bad things are going in my life. I just block that out.
Once you have a bad trip, it’s easier to fall into it next time, like a boxer, once KO’d it’s easier to get knocked out next time. I am a scardy cat though so, I am super conservative
I am afraid because I used to have suicidal thoughts and depression. What if it comes up and seems like a good idea or something... I don't want that, but I do have some saddens and anxiety. I'm just afraid shrooms will make it seem like suicide was and is a legit solution and I will believe them. But so far I didn't have a 'bad trip'. But I also only took small doses. I feel like I want to go deeper and I'm curious. I don't know. It also felt safe every time before, like the shroom is taking care of me, but I'm a bit afraid.
The only thing that gives me bad trips is indica marijuana which brings down my mood and cognitive abilities to an extremely unpleasant degree. I've seen it affect many people extremely negatively if they are depressed already.
Is there really any such thing as a “ Bad Trip”? It’s the more challenging experiences that teach us the most with psychedelics. Anyone can drop and have a jolly, is that really the point of self exploration? Duality is all around us, yin and yan ☯️
Ilv been wanting to try shroom while I’m fasting wonder if it would cause me to have a bad trip.. I was thinking of trying it while being in my 24-48 hr fast .

That IS good. As I was reading your comment I was wondering about that.
Thanks for sharing!🥰

Stay home. My youth taught me that lesson.

You are brave, I rather fight a Nephilim bare handed than go through a bad trip, I had one on K2 and…… f*ck that 😅

I never had a bad trip until i used them for therapy. Now, i get crazy anxiety most of the time

I have never done psychedelics with anyone always alone. If I start feeling bad I just have a beer or a drink and I feel good again
Good ol fashion booze never fails

@@sitindogmas Yeah I know I drank every day for years up until I turned 40
@@extremechimpout same lol, then 2 years after that, I went cold turkey on an 18 year, 3mg a day xanax addiction.
every try kratom?
@@sitindogmas Damn well done! No never tried kratom. I have seen it available to buy where I buy the mushroom grow stuff. What is it?
Thank you so much for the helpful info.
You can say you want something that's good but the mushrooms will show you what you need to see

Nice video. Not a mention of encountering other entities though. Some good some not so much, I've met both.
🧡🧡🧡🧡love y’all
Excellent video!

this is the spot for your info kids ✌️
I've heard a lot about niacin instantly ending a psychedelic trip.
Also benzodiazepines but they might not be as accessible
Interesting

How to survive a bad trip ? Don't commit suicide or murder. ❤ And listen 👂🏼 to the Grateful Dead !

@@gharbadthewhoa2315 just take it and have a trip sitter
almost every trip I get intense anxiety and a feeling of uneasiness.
Look, a doggo =)
Thank you sooo sooo much for your projects and love ❤
