Posted this in r/lsd but didnt get much of a response
Trying to enjoy psychedelics again after a very intense first acid trip, any advice?
About a month ago I had my first LSD trip with my girlfriend (very experienced tripper), her and I take mushrooms, 2cb and mdma/mda together a lot and always have a great time so I expected it to go a lot smoother than it did.
We each took 1 tab. My girlfriend said not to expect too much because its just 1 tab and in comparison to the heavier doses of penis envy we’ve taken it may be underwhelming. The inital comeup everything was alright and very giggly but I soon started to become very anxious and overwhelmed very fast, I had to go outside on multiple walks to try to get my head straight and kept spiraling downward into a panic and thinking I’d fall into a psychotic break. We called a few of our more experienced trip friends to see if anyone had a trip killer or could come to assist but everyone was far away or didnt have anything.
Eventually my girlfriend and her friend came to the conclusion to give me some MDMA to try to flip the direction of the trip, which worked very well and I ended up having an amazing and beautiful second half of the trip. During the anxious part of the trip I conceptualized death and the concept of time a little too much and it has left me with some gnarly anxiety and not fun thoughts.
After this trip I took a break from psychedelics for about a month, took a low dose of 2cb at a show and that went fine, then did 1.5g’s of mushrooms with my girlfriend and some friends and ended up having another very anxious come up, which never happens to me on shrooms really, and flashbacks to the acid trip anxiety though it wasn’t nearly as frightening. I feel as if I have a lingering internal anxiety because of the acid trip about psychedelic and I would like to find a way to conquer this
This weekend I had a 2cb trip with some friends that went well and we had a great time, but for a few minutes a couple times I had flashes of anxiety and being overwhelmed.
On my last mushroom trip, the one with the anxious come up, I confronted a lot of my anxiety and I feel a lot better in day to day and much happier than before, but I still have a lingering inner anxiety about psychedelics? How can I overcome this? The good parts of my acid trip were beautiful and I would love to fully be able to enjoy LSD and other psychedelics without this anxiety. I would like to add that prior to the acid trip I did not suffer from anxiety whatsoever in day to day life.
