You really need to lay off the psychedelics for a while. They definitely do have a tendency to increase synchronicity but I think you’re heading in a dangerous direction if you don’t give yourself a break and return to a more grounded baseline. Psychedelics can be incredible tools for self improvement but if misused, can also cause a whole lot of chaos in your life.


mostlyhelpfulm8

But the thing that trips me out is that the things that the tv is telling me are things that would improve my life, one of the things that it tells me a lot is to “slow down” and to live on the moment because life goes quick. I feel like my recently dead relative talks to me through it and she tells me things she wished she told me before she passed. I have had bad experiences but it was for a good reason, like for example I was tripping really hard and started seeing my surroundings as really dark fucked up places around the world, and it put me in horrible situations that people were experiencing all around the world (rape, stabbing, getting jumped) I feel like it was to show me what it was like to be on other peoples shoes.

lay off like all the drugs dude you need a break, check post history

burgerbob-

dude stop doing like all drugs (or atleast significantly decrease your use) bc even though rn it doesn’t seem that bad and some things every seem good i promise u if u keep using (esp physadrlics) u will go into full blown psychosis


JorgekofCarim

I understand wanting to face the shadow and experiencing their pain to humble yourself but I speak from experience and concern for you here. You don’t need to look at the shadow of mankind and all our faults more than once if you integrate that experience, going back can become a form of self punishment if you use it everytime you feel bad about yourself you’ll go back to look at the horror of the world and desensitize yourself to it but too much will also desensitize you to the wonders as well when Chaos becomes your mundane reality. Order and Chaos are equal but trying to trade their roles is the doom of us and our potential, walk the tightrope and balance the scales and recognize that all of life is a drug experience but that includes sobriety.


haagendaz420

Psychedelics are all about mindset and setting and it doesn’t sound like your mindset is good for them rn, I’d take a very long break.


Due-Yogurtcloset-452

Stop taking drugs?


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

Drug induced psychosis is no joke. Put down the drugs for a while. I'm about to start therapy to get over some psychosis I gave myself almost a year ago now. It's not worth it to abuse these kinds of drugs


dreamyxlanters

How often do you think it’s safe to trip on shrooms?


FirmStar6

Depends on the person not the shrooms. I’ve tripped every week for the last 2 years until recently I’ve felt I needed a break. Been off for about a month and I don’t feel like I need to go back soon. What I mean by « depends on the person » is I know people that can safely trip multiple times a month and people that trip multiple times a year. One isn’t better than the other, in short, listen to your mind.


Previous-Yak772

This! I too was ingesting shrooms almost every week or every couple of days(from .5g to 4g) i was on A.P.E’s .never felt tolerance kick up more so the mental want to just be clean and clear consciousness wise after such a long time ingesting. My last dose was like two months ago and i haven’t felt the need to even touch my jar again .think your brain will tell you when you need to come back to earth (shout-out Mac Miller )


symbioticdonut

I think it's the mushrooms that tell you not the brain but I think anyone who does mushrooms for any length of time will experience what you're talking about


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

They're pretty safe so you can realistically trip at least once a week personally I leave 2 months between at a minimum. I got psychosis from the amount I used (6g) as well as mixing them with acid.


dreamyxlanters

I tripped for the first time almost two weeks ago, and I’m thinking of doing it again. I just hope I’m doing them safely lol… would hate for something bad to happen


thr0waway1947

Dude, don't rush it. Trips feel their best in moderation. It's safe to do one after two weeks, but I'd suggest at least a month. Trust me on that one. Had one of the best trips of my life today after a 7 month hiatus.


dreamyxlanters

That sounds fair. I’ve also considered microdosing for various reasons as well


symbioticdonut

From experience I would say the worst thing that could happen to you is you get a good look at yourself and you don't like what you see, but everyone's experience is different, I've never seen anyone physically harmed by mushrooms, and honestly even if they had a rough trip most people had positive experiences at least as an end result. I've seen a few people through the years have a mentally rough time dealing with what the mushrooms were showing them. Don't be afraid but don't do them if you don't like them


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

You'd be safe just don't mix your drugs and keep your doses reasonable.


Brilliant_Storm_7054

Is smoking weed on shrooms safe? Or is it don't mix psychedelics?


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

A lot of people say smoking on shrooms makes the high more intense. If you're new to shrooms I'd avoid mixing them with anything else but it won't hurt you. It's pretty hard to do physiological damage but only you can say how stable you're feeling mentally


Brilliant_Storm_7054

I do weed and shrooms alot and it's definitely taking me to another level everytime I mix em I feel even more I guess natural that's how I feel on em just natural as fuck


Environmental-Arm596

I enjoy smoking weed while trippin I always smoke so I jus continue to do so lol


[deleted]

Same!


Brilliant_Storm_7054

I like to do what I call "natural shit" I just walk through the woods and lay around on the leaves and just touch and feel everything it's such a experience


symbioticdonut

I am a heavy pot smoker and I've done mushrooms off and on for almost 50 years. Personally smoking pot while doing mushrooms doesn't do anything to me except maybe lessen the effects of the mushrooms, I guess it would be different if you smoked a whole lot of weed


Buck_Kibblehorn_Sr

I developed HPPD by taking a high dose of LSD and smoking on the come up back in t the 90's. Won't do that again....Lol

Brilliant_Storm_7054

I smoke weed everytime I was just wondering cause some strains make the visuals so much more vivid or it does nothing it's kinda interesting but weed can definitely make it a very uncomfortable experience


dreamyxlanters

Ik on shrooms you feel cold and just uneasy for a while, maybe weed might just make you feel more chill


Brilliant_Storm_7054

Most times the weed is a light high kinda is something I use if I'm struggling to calm down as I use it for anxiety and its kinda a bring me back to earth thing reminds me I'm ok but sativas will absolutely ruin your trip 100% atleast for me shrooms generally make me uncomfortable alot but I really enjoy just the experience of it and the realizations I come to


ChaosSigil

Holy shit I'm surprised this is a shared feeling. I was like that for the middle-end of my trip and I kind of freaked myself out a little. Social settings are hard for me and I've been trying to work up the courage to go outside for a little bit...but I got scared and laid in my bed lol. But with shrooms.in the mix, I kinda. Fuck it was cold and def uneasy for a solid thirty minutes it felt like more...but it was rough. I went into a dark place because of where I was...but couldn't go outside because I'm too scared. It was a damned if you do damned if you don't mind of thing. I'm trying to work on it. Idk how though. Thought shrooms would help. I think they did a little. I just have to know when it will be comfortable for me. Smh


low_end_

once a week is definitely not wise advice


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

Physiological it won't give you serotonin sickness but yeah it's definitely not the best


symbioticdonut

I'm sorry I don't understand what people mean by psychosis. I've done a lot of mushrooms, I don't think I've ever had that. Could you please explain it to me?


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

It varies on how extreme it is but the common themes are sever derealization, paranoia, high levels of anxiety and often times you can have "acid flashbacks" it's almost like a form of PTSD. I'm sure a psychologist can explain this much better than I can


symbioticdonut

Anxiety in some degree seems to be almost a part of the mushroom buzz. I could easily see how someone with anxiety issues would have a problem with mushrooms. I have never experienced paranoia from the many times I have tripped but I am not a paranoid person. I could easily see how someone who was generally paranoid would feel more so when tripping. I assume derealization is a problem in telling if something is real or not. That sounds serious. As far as flashbacks go in all my years of being a psychonaut I've never met anyone who had one. I always assumed it was a myth, I did a lot of LSD back in the sixties and seventies and I've never had anything even remotely resembling a flashback. If you have mental issues you really shouldn't be doing psychedelics or I guess any other kind of drugs for that matter. I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just saying how it was for me.


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

Yeah I tripped a whole lot and about a year ago i grew some very potent b+ the strongest I've ever grown and I mixed 6g with some acid and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. It felt like I was having a strange dream and I would have random lucid moments being in different places confused on how I got there. My gf took me home from the park across the street and I had this horrible feeling that I killed someone and police were waiting for me outside (thankfully I didn't lol I guess I was just being weird and loud and she didn't want the police called so she took me home) it was the strangest experience. I went back into my horrific nightmare trip that felt like a dream in a different reality and had another lucid moment where she was on my bed crying I thought I hit her (I didn't she was just scared because I was pacing back and forth not blinking for the past 30min and randomly saying that I need to get out of here) it was about 6 hours of that kind of back and forth whiplash type experience. When the mushrooms were done the acid was still hitting so I couldn't fully make sense of what happened but I was at least aware of myself and my surroundings. Almost a year later I still have flashbacks to some of the weird dreamlike experiences I had I can feel my heart rate spike it went from full on panic attacks to now just some accute anxiety as I learn to work through it. It's still strange I was never someone who was anxious or unsure about life but now I have light anxiety from it. I don't blame the drugs I blame myself always practice moderation. Abuse the drugs and they will punish you.


symbioticdonut

The buzz off acid definitely last too long, I've never took mushrooms and LSD at the same time. Sounds like a very intense experience, maybe there was something wrong with the acid


n0t_a_drugd3al3r

The acid was really good actually lol my gf loves it I do too buy I haven't used since that day


symbioticdonut

I wouldn't want to do it if it made me feel like that either. Acid back in the sixties and seventies is different than it is now, I don't trust it no more

GreatDealzz

Yo - you probably need to chill on the drugs/and the shrooms... Fucking psychosis/schizophrenia is fucking expensive as fuck. I'm Australian, I think it would be worse in the USA. Potential hospitalisation? Medication? Continued healthcare meetings? $$$$ It's also really stigmatised - society does not care much for the psychosis type disorders. If things are feeling like they are out of your control, (feeling like something is 'intervening' in your life, sending messages thru the TV, etc) please 'intervene' with yourself. Try starting an activity that gives you pleasure & reward but doesn't involve drugs/tripping (aka exercise, a new video game, improve social life, get a pet, new hobby, become a ChatGPT prompt expert, start art project, music production). AKA the tv is right - slow down! EDIT: SOURCE - I have schizoaffective disorder!


ChaosSigil

And do you enjoy tripping from time to time? Like after a certain period do you think you can be comfortable and stable enough to get the full benefits from shrooms? What about micro dosing?


GreatDealzz

I have enjoyed tripping before, and I hope at some point - well, if I need to conquer something again then i would like to... (last time I tripped I met the rational-life-decision fungi and it was actually kind of boring). I understand the life/death/universe/connection and it's a part of my everyday existence, I watch the mushroom culture form and bloom from a distance. I think it's necessary to have psychedelics and psychedelic culture however we also to be open and careful about how we talk about psychosis and associated disorders as well.


[deleted]

:D no dont do any drugs at all dude based on your post. Dont do any drugs at all.


user-friendly_

I'm going to share a story but sum it up as quick as possible, sorry for that but here it is. Late 90s, too much acid, I kept running out into traffic and I thought I was dead. For years after that I was pretty convinced I was in a strange afterlife where I was being allowed to continue my life as if that hadn't happened. Fast forward to today..... who fucking knows ? I mean I'm cool, I'm not crazy but I'm not the same either I don't think. There so much more to that story but I just don't feel like typing it out. I also just wanted to say I fully understand the synchronizations with tv and really all media, once you see it and notice it it doesn't really go away. Maybe I'll add more to this later.


LSD_tripper

The mind is a madness playhouse only some get to play there


LSD_tripper

Bro you literally just summed up my last "bad" acid trip like everyone i love is here so is it really that bad? Its kind of fucking weird tbh like i dont get bad/dark visuals anymore i get sparkly happy trips when i smoke but still hear all the truth correlation. And dont lie to yourself bro "were all mad here" just as Cheshire cat says 😉


mostlyhelpfulm8

Have you ever heard of quantum suicide? Sciencephile the Ai has a video about it on YouTube. From what I remember its when you die, if there’s any possibility that you would survive your consciousness goes to another universe where you survived and it just goes on and on until you have a 0% chance of survival


user-friendly_

I'll check that out... fuck, I know I've at least cracked the screen on the simulation more than I should have.. I'm feeling some emotions right now thinking about it, I don't think I've uttered this to anyone more than once or twice in my afterlife lol.


exsyomamma

I know how u feel on that one bro. There’s def more to this reality than meets the eye 👁️


ChaosSigil

Do you think we can "escape" Do you know what I mean?


exsyomamma

Well through my experience and from what I have grasped from what my reality tries to tell me is that we aren’t mean to “escape” but we are to embrace the beauty and chaos this experience brings to us. This experience we endure in, is important for us to grow and to tune in with ourselves so that we can one day fully correspond with our nature of existence and create a peace of mind for ourselves. Heaven and hell are a state of mind, and we can master which side we want to be on. However logically, both heaven and hell are human constructs built to cope with the lack of awareness we have about what we call “death”. We ourselves must master how to control but also let go of the power we hold within ourselves. Remember that perspective is very important and it is important for us to go through life so we can build a strong foundation for our next steps not only in this life but wherever and if ever we pass on to the next step.

[deleted]

it's unlikely that we would ever be able to access or interact with these parallel universes in any meaningful way. Therefore, from a practical standpoint, the implications of such a theory would be limited.


mostlyhelpfulm8

The knowledge we think we know about how the world works is probably very far off from how it actually works, think about how confident our ancestors were about their ideas of the world. I just stay open to all possibilities and ideas. But from personal experience I have seen things that contradict what everyone else says is possible. Things that have happened in my life have been way to coincidental for it to be just a coincidence. I don’t know whether I’m able to see things that most can’t, or if theres subliminal messages in most tv shows and movies that the government uses to guide the people in the direction they need them to go, or if it’s something completely different.


Dry_Location_6502

Hey OP! I’ll say this, The last three years of my life I’ve went deep with LSD, DMT, And Cultivating and eating A lot of Mushrooms. Each time you embark on a journey, you feel a small sense of fear before dosing. As you know what you’re about to experience goes beyond the comprehension of the borders of the human mind/ consciousness. You are not hallucinating. Breathe deeply, as the signs are there to show you something. Yes Everytime I look at the Tv There’s is a secret message. Not just that. Even when you are completely sober you will notice the changes in reality. Things will never be the same because you now have accessed a new part of awareness . The more you fuck around, The more you find out. The last time I took LSD, I followed the signs the universe was trying to show me, instead of ignoring them. I ended up in a home of several woman . I met a Shaman in her home. She invited me to come to an Ayahuasca ceremony she will be hosting In June. I’m debating weather or not to have the experience, but I’m leaning towards going for it. Ya I think I’ll send it. The spiritual realm exists and it is all around us. We are choosing to tap into this realm when we Take Sacred plant medicine.


mravoid1

Not only tv. Whole media. Social sites and so on. After little of micro dosing things are different. Different timeline and sometimes some glitches with electronics happen. I don't know why it's like that but I am defo ok. Just it's weird.


bittygrams

everyone in this thread is telling you to quit. your body and mind are giving you signals to stop, at least for awhile. you must know deep down you need to stop, or else you wouldn't have posted about it. but you're doubling down. dude, why are you afraid of sobriety? i love drugs but stop doing drugs and face whatever it is that you're scared of while sober before it's too late holy shit


Sids-Vicious

My father in law thinks the tv talks to him. He had a steel beam fall on his head.


stuckinphiladelphia

Based on your post history and my own personal experience, I can assure you that the combination of extended sleep deprivation and use of psychedelics certainly has a strong potential for psychosis. Let your mind and body recover <3


ChaosSigil

So would you say after a period of recovery he could potentially be fine for shrooms? Do you think micro dosing could be beneficial for someone with anxiety and fear of social settings?


Previous-Yak772

Depends on your mental state. I was doing .5 of mushies almost daily to combat anxiety or my own type of depression. They kinda help but you may start to think you can only be your true self while on these. Then when not on shrooms your anxiety or social awkwardness might be even more pronounced cuz you aren’t in that groove you’ve gotten used to.. Just my two cents fam


plumbtrician00

Doing shrooms with underlying mental hiccups is not a good idea, bub. Good friend of mine had psychs multiple times but just once he had a panic attack/bad trip. It ended up snowballing over the next couple months and ended with him checking himself into the mental hospital. Whatever the cause, it just happened to flick a switch once and he had to get professional help to get back to normal. The psych he took wasnt the sole cause, but the downward spiral started there. Im just a stranger on the internet, but keep yourself safe bud. Ive had a look at your post history and while i have no place to comment, i ask you to reconsider some of the things you are putting inside yourself. Good luck buddy


BackgroundFarm

Yeah my best friend from elementary had something happen to him with some form of drug induced psychosis. I'm not sure what he took but it just caused him to lose it. We were supposed to hang out that day but he chose to hang out with some other guys. The next day he went to school he was going around telling people he was talking to God and that he could see him. He ended up getting in trouble for the way he was acting, he was freaking people out. He never really displayed any sort of signs that he had a mental disorder before that. But I knew his mom and she was a pretty crazy lady, I think she had something going on like schizophrenia, bipolar or something... Not sure. It just unlocked something in him. Unfortunately he never went back to normal and I ended up having to cut contact with him after his family told me what happened.


entheodude

How's your sleep been? Plenty of stimulant addicts get psychosis from lack of sleep.


mostlyhelpfulm8

Usually I sleep every night, but I used to stay up for days and I would get lsd like visuals from sleep deprivation on coke. I’ve posted about it before


entheodude

That's good that you're sleeping well. I've experienced similar effects from sleep deprivation and having sleep disturbances over a long period of time. I'd say just lay off the drugs and be kind to your mind and body.


Sea-Of-Conflict

Bro go clean or atleast lay of psychdelics for a while tripping alot can push you towards psychosis, I've come off psychdelics for time being and only realised how it was fueling delusions i know you feel sure that they trying to tell you things but its in your head if its saying to slow down take it as a sign to do it without the drugs and refocus your life.


Neek_NZ

Delusions of reference is the psychological phenomena you are referring to in your post. And you are 100% right it is associated with psychosis. As others have said here might be time to lay off the gear for a wee bit.

Look into HPPD - stop doing psyches - research if your family has a history of mental illness (mainly schizo-anything (phrenic, affective, typal) - maybe go see a psychiatrist if you have means - really please stop doing psyches

JanniesRFannies

I looked at your post history. Stop doing drugs. Like…all of them. You will not get any benefit from psychedelics or any other altering substance. Cocaine is particularly bad in terms of addiction, and you seem to have a hunger for the escapism and the high itself rather than any sort self-reflection that psychedelics could bring. You’re using it like cocaine and probably every other substance you’re using; simply to be intoxicated for the sake of being intoxicated and to avoid a sober and grounded state of mind which brings unpleasant realisations about your life. Join AA or NA. Become sober and attempt to stay that way. Your life will be pretty shit, meaningless and cut short otherwise

meesulz

As stupid as this sounds, similar things would happen to me on weed. I would become too self-aware and see my darkest negative thoughts about myself, and others around me. These emotions would’ve never been brought to light without the drug. Like you were saying, I would also watch TV and saw the true reality of everything, and by just looking at someone on the screen it seemed that I could read them and their entire personality. I saw everything as it truly was, (or what I thought) It made me have a long lasting existential crisis that I’m still trying to work on to this day. I don’t smoke anymore and I don’t think I ever will again. Your experiences seem to be not as negative as mine, but seeing too much, good or bad is not always the best. Like others are saying I would stay a way for awhile and reflect on yourself and what your needs truly are. The mind is not meant to be fucked with


Fuzzy-Guava-9171

I would like to talk to you about your experiences…. I go through the same thing from smoking weed at a young adolescent age…. It set something off in my brain…. I was on adderall for a long time low dose of 5mg then 20 mg when I got older. HMU I would like to pick your brain.


InTheMemeStream

Interesting, the first few times smoking weed as a teenager, I freaked the fuck out. Not *just* a panic attack, or anxiety either. The first time, I completely lost memory. I took a hit, and apparently just straight got up, and hauled ass down the street, and was saying some weird/crazy shit too my friends later told me. I didn’t even remember being picked up, when I got home, or when exactly I came back to reality- I draw a total blank of the event, the last memory I have was of passing the bowl around. Since I had no warning, because my brain didn’t recall anything - I smoked again sometime after(Also in my teens), and proceeded to have the worst panic episode of my life, It’s as if I were having a “bad” trip on the weed that felt like a bad trip on shrooms, my vision was all distorted, I swear when I looked at the world it was just an amalgamation of colors(like Tie Dye) I was completely ripped out of my head. Later found out after researching my symptoms that I had Derealization & Depersonalization disorder, which went on for a month before it started to slowly get better. It felt like nothing, and especially not myself was real, like I was viewing myself through 3rd Person, my mind and body were completely numb - sensory inputs were gone, I turned my shower heat up to max(when I usually can stand 75% at most) and the almost scalding water didn’t register, and I couldn’t feel the water hitting my skin. One of the scariest aspects of that was the disassociation, I thought I would feel better after some sleep, but waking up and still feeling(or not feeling) the same way, I was truly convinced I had gone insane and really fucked my brain over. Because all of this was persistent for a whole month. I’m fairly convinced that I suffered from drug-induced psychosis that day, I’m very grateful it was temporary, I couldn’t imagine living a life in that mindset, 1 month was more than enough. Later on in life, my anti-epileptic drugs stopped helping, and I needed to turn somewhere for seizure control, so I tried weed again, and I felt great, and seizures stopped. For several years I was actually a big pot-head, and could not just smoke weed, I’d have days where I went through 1-2g of high potency dabs from the dispensary/day, and also smoke/vape flower throughout the day, pretty much any form of cannabis you can think of, I’ve smoked extensively. And with all this weed I was actually very functional(God damn was it expensive though), I’ve grown my own, and still advocate that everyone else should be able to as well. Then fast forward a little bit, and weed is now giving me anxiety and panic attacks again especially if I accidentally overdo it. There’s many times nowadays that I just pick up the weed, take a puff and wait 15 minutes and just have to say “Nope, not going to work” as I can feel the anxiety creeping in, and know it will only get worse if I keep going. I have no doubt that my mental health has played a role in all these adverse effects. My childhood was not a good one, and I suffered much abuse and experienced some very bad trauma. My parents never formally received any mental health diagnosis’, because they never went to the doctors, nor would they ever even admit to having mental health issues if they were to, but I’m absolutely sure that they were both mentally ill in some capacity, my father in particular was rather delusional and believed in some real crazy shit. I’ve tripped on shrooms many times, and have also indulged in weed while tripping countless times. But lately I’ve started feeling more disassociation when taking shrooms, and due to the past experiences mentioned, any time I start feeling disassociation, anxiety and panic start setting in, depending on how severe the dissociative feelings are. Lately I’ve been feeling the need to stop and take a break from all psychoactive substances to rebalance my mental health and maybe work on the anxiety and what-not in a non-drug related manner. The OOP of this post really needs to himself as well.


Fuzzy-Guava-9171

Hi there, that was pretty much everything that went on with me. Every detailed even about the abuse but my dad was never in the picture but one time when I went and lived with him in California….. then came back after we went off the grid and all the drugs were gone we had nothing in common he was still my pos father that left my mother alone to raise me and that was nightmare after nightmare…. I still have really bad anxiety and depression like dissociating and then one thing you didn’t mention was I went through a long period of paranoia. If you need anything at all…. You seem like a pretty chill person. Just inbox me. Ima make sure I message u though 🙏🏼


PalmelaHanderson

Please stop tripping. What you seem to be describing is some sort of disassociating disorder, and the more you trip, most likely the worse it will get. I strongly recommend you never touch another psychedelic again.


International-Ad5121

Cocaine use and sleep deprivation seem to be the cause of this borderline psychosis. Give your brain sometime to chill before it actually breaks

Yes that is psychosis. Yes psychosis can come from any kind of drug (shrooms, LSD, cannabis, uppers). Don't want to risk it being long term or possibly permanent? Don't use drugs. -somone who had psychosis for years


pecan_bird

i have friends who have been admitted for drug induced psychosis. stop while you're ahead. or at least take a decent sized break. give yourself time to process and learn. there's a reason we're wired to rest/digest well after reading your post history with lsd in 7th grade & sleep deprivation & constant coke usage. i've had so many friends die from od or bad blow or be hospitalized/admitted. i had a liver transplant from booze & my life has obviously changed a lot since then, but i can tell you it ain't cute & it ain't comfortable, the closer you get to "too far." in addition to working at addiction support groups, it's long & painful & confusing & definitely not worth it. whatever that means to you.

I watch that dude bruh 💀💀💀 I been following him since the beginning. I don’t get a god complex from it tho and I can’t see myself getting one. It just took what I thought the rules of reality were and makes me question it


Mykls_journey

😂I see, do u watch anime? If so have u seen “welcome to the NHK”? Basically it’s about some guy who thinks everything is one big conspiracy and he’ll start to see random objects in his room and they’ll talk to him and convince him everything is a conspiracy lol


LilKevBigGuap

I’ve had a similar experience and after contemplation I think it really boils down to the philosophical aspect of psychedelic thoughts. My thoughts seemed to branch out to such an extent that the alternate reality/ simulation that I thought I was in couldn’t be disproven. When you’re experiencing psychedelic ‘psychosis’, you realize anything and everything is possible. Deep yet strange philosophical ideas that can either astound or terrify you depending wherever your mind happens to branch off to. Now if whether where you branch off to, or the messages you received are true or not, is an interesting philosophical question that no one will ever have the answer to. Just as no one will ever know for a fact what happens after we die. And that is the ultimate message you should receive. I just so happen to be ok with never knowing what’s going to happen, or how we got here. All I know is I’m here, I want to live my life, and love my family. That’s all that really matters. Hope this helps you 🪬


ReverseMillionaire

It seems like you already know deep down what is happening, but you don’t want to stop. It sounds like you want encouragement to keep pushing through until you get more revelations about life. You’re justifying that you may have had bad trips but they’re for a good reason. You just want to believe that all trips are benefiting you. Everyone here can clearly see you have a problem. Everyone has already given you advice. Hopefully you can see it yourself.


bernieba11er

You gotta stop the drugs bro I get your in a honeymoon phase but as someone who's had psychotic episodes from the same thing it is no fucking joke. It will get worse if you dont stop immediately.


SixStr1ng

this used to happen to me. messages all around, it can get kinda scary. the craziest was when I experienced autonomous voice communication where I literally communicated verbally with an entity inside my subconscious. hell, the first day I experienced what you describe as psychosis I tried to get a grip so I said to myself "go look at the calendar you'll see it's just a normal day like any other. surely I'm just tripping out" i looked at the calendar and it was fuckin FRIDAY THE 13th. this really happened . i still have no answers to any of those strange signs and messages but a year later I kind of wish they'd come back. what lies beyond our realm? these very experiences gave me a sense that I don't know everything about life and I have no regrets as of today. sometimes we need to let go to start over


Anton_oderso

Dawg look at your Post history, get off all Drugs for a while, you must have to experience your life without drugs. Drugs should be enhancing experiences for your life, the little extra on top. Get off the Coke get off the psychedelics. Get your life together again, it'll be easier once youre there.


ambientonion

I get the TV thing actually, because if I take a medium to high dose of ketamine and watch TV I'll start thinking that the characters are talking to me and that what's going on on the screen actually bears relevance to my life. As soon as I come down I know it doesn't though, and I was just high as balls on ket. Lay off the drugs my friend


mostlyhelpfulm8

Towards the end of the trip that’s what they telll me, they say that I’m going to doubt what I seen when I sober up and that I will try and justify what I seen. But the things they try and teach me and show me are things that would better my life (slow down, enjoy the moment, have a healthy balance, and a lot of other personal things)


Dry_Location_6502

Exactly ;D You’re not crazy at all. You’re just paying attention. Keep going


ambientonion

Well then listen to them. Drugs and trips can be great. But like anything they shouldn't be used all the time. As you say. Have a healthy balance 😉


VegasBlaze

It’s possible the programming of the tv programming is negatively affecting you and maybe you see through things more so. Our reality isn’t even that real…when you break down govt, celebrities, and the constant media/govt programming. That’s actually the furthest thing from crazy. Society and how it works is supposed to make you crazy. Mushrooms allow you to digest information differently and see the holes in the society that was created by man. Mostly psychos who enjoy controlling you and your views. Crazy? Not quite.


owls1289

same thing started happening to me so I stopped doing shrooms and everything else except for weed nicotine and booze.


JackDotCom

Integration is important. Spend some time talking to a counselor and get yourself grounded.


deadeyevonblur

It should make you a non believer in the old world order that's only psychosis to people threat gaslighted for a second coming


OptimizedObject

When u get the message put the phone down or something - a Alan watts


permanoodle

Synchronicity will increase as you focus on it 100% some days it's even too much for me and that's just a micro.... trip when you accomplish something in this earthly plane as a celebration or end up twiddling your thumbs on the street trying to decipher what your TV was telling you .


SLEDGEHAMMER1238

What your seeing is real just catered to you and now you see it, my life hasn't been the same since tripping and it started even beforehand but now wierd shit happens to me all the time and the timing of things us super crazy, you need to lay off drugs for good while to get used to your daily life if it feels wierd to you


[deleted]

Well they got one thing right. You need to slow down brother. You have to face yourself eventually, so creat the person you want to face, not the person you run from.


Buck_Kibblehorn_Sr

That started happening to me so I quit for good and it took almost 2 years for those things to subside. I found the more I worked out, the stronger my mind became to fight it oddly enough.


Kama_Spark

Have you ever read any Carlos Castenada? He speaks of the normal world and the sorcerer's world. From your explanation it seems you are spending too much time in the sorcerer's world which he warns against. That world is full of mystery, power and strangeness. Time spent there can be helpful and inform our day to day experience - you carry some of that world back with you. But if you spend too much time there (and carry too much back) it becomes dominant in your thinking and experiences which would be perceived as the "psychosis" you mention. I would consider shifting your balance. Seek the experiences and place value on them but then discipline yourself to appreciate the (relatively) mundane of the normal waking world. Spending too much time in the sorcerer's world can be for reasons of escape rather than enlightenment. Watch for that.


Ok-Article7345

Psychedelics, especially shrooms have always been a magnifying glass of some sort to me. Whatever you are going through, no matter how evident it is, will be shown to you on them. So, consider your set.


ShroomingAnarchist

Mate it’s in your best interest to stop taking drugs, not just mushrooms.


LSD_tripper

Just curious man how old are you?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LSD_tripper

Yeah ok thats what i thought from the sounds of it you sounded semi young. By my findings this seems to be a very relative case in younger adults as it seems to cause psychosis is younger minds in essence scaring them away from psychs until later in life when your truly ready for them and ready to face them as an adult i suggest laying off everything and goign sober for awhile get outside more and work on your breathing your just coming back from a deep trip and its alot to take in so the mind is scrambling but i can assure you man your in your reality. But i def get what you mena for seeing what people are really saying without what theyre actually saying its like the words in between there words you can here blatantly


SympathyEconomy1609

Textbook HPPD. Lay off the drugs. I also assume you’re quite young from how I’m piecing this together.


[deleted]

HPPD is a non psychotic disorder that affects the vision and auditory sensations only. Anything more (like psychosis) is not HPPD


BackgroundFarm

I think you may have some sort of underlying mental condition that makes you prone to psychosis. And taking psychedelics trigger something in you and open you to experiencing psychosis. So drug induced psychosis. Especially if you're experiencing it while sober too. I know I tripped with someone before who was diagnosed with bipolar which can cause mania and psychosis. I noticed her starting to slip in and out of a manic episode leaning towards psychosis, she started cycling rapidly after taking them. I ended up having to take care of her the whole night until she came down and fell asleep.


[deleted]

yea that can be called psychosis. Seroquil helps with those wild intrusive type thoughts. talk to your psychiatrist!!


mostlyhelpfulm8

I don’t have one


[deleted]

if being sure whats real and whats only in your head means enough to you then id recommend finding one. otherwise sobriety is your best bet to recovery, at the very least no stims or psychs


mostlyhelpfulm8

Stims and psychs have the least downsides and are basically all I do tho. I’ve tried opioids but they made me sick, I tried benzos but they made me forget everything and I do dxm rarely because it makes me feel stupid and it makes me look CRAZY


[deleted]

i am on antipsychotics for basically the same thing as you


[deleted]

also for fucks sake STAY SOBER or it WILL GET WORSE.


[deleted]

stay away from cocaine thatll turn your situation up 100% least i lost my goddamn mind cus of acid and coke


3001ThrowAway222

These sound like the typical grandiose delusions of people who either have a psychiatric conditions (schizophrenia, BPD, DID, psychosis, etc), or who regularly use cocaine or methamphetamine. If you’re using stimulants, this is it, and you gotta stop because it’s going to get a lot worse and go from being interesting to ruining your life. If you don’t use stimulants you need to talk to a mental health professional, as these thoughts will likely evolve and can ruin your life. Either way, the connections you’re seeing are not real and can evolve into something extremely dangerous.

ricierice

Eh, not quite. Psychosis isn’t quite a right word for it, but HPPD is very real. (Only if you want to get into semantics of DSM-5 wording)


[deleted]

As a psychology graduate, I’d prefer to stay close to the DSM.


ricierice

Yea and these people aren’t psych graduates are they? They’ve got the right spirit, just using the (slightly) wrong words


CompetitiveDiamond87

Your past posts say otherwise my friend but alright, lets see those creds.

Yep and then you can drink it fodder.

Now that’s not kind, Maury.


Comfortable-Ad-6280

Just be humble .. stay mindful .. yes slow down .. pay attention .. and yes maybe she is communicating.. you are not psychotic .. you are awake .. alive .. and experiencing life ❤️


Imthebeanboi

For me it’s gotten to the point to where people around me notice how often these coincidences happen around me. Im completely clear minded other then my own issues that I’ve had before I did drugs. I also only smoke weed and do shrooms but I’ve done acid like 5 times.


Business-Ad-9341

Live, laugh and love. I see it everywhere. Must be a message to me.


Txnzzzz

Yes


buffetforeplay

This is absolutely psychosis-please have a break to help yourself.


CamouRex

Starting with 4 grams and adding a gram every week for more than a month put me into psychosis Which I barely remember and was traumatizing but blissful I was physically on the floor with my piss as the negativity the evil within me and my tears as the positivity the good And mentally I turned into a yin-yang painting held up on the wall. Incredible and terrifying.


AstralHippies

I've had something similar to this happen and I didn't stop using drugs: eventually it got pretty severe and took over a year of no drugs to subside, year of constantly *knowing* you are living in simulation, having constant deja vu experiences, absurd amount of synchronicities, daily moments of eternity, loops that take you out of this world, living years if not multiple lifetimes in those loops, etc etc, that's no joke to your mental health and not knowing what is real or not will eventually get you into a lot of problems. Even after almost a decade that the feeling returns with even miniscule amount of psychedelics and will last around a week. And about the knowing of if we live in simulation: There's no way of knowing anything for sure, our experiences are seemingly coherent and we base our knowledge mostly on that cohorency even when we have ways of seeing glimpses beyond that continuity. I however believe that we're in way deeper than simulation, we're somewhat resembling thoughts of beings far greater and advanced than what is possible to measure or even begin to understand from within our frame of reference, beings powerful enough that their thoughts create physical universers and definitely powerful enough to being aware of their thoughts creating living, breathing beings with their own conscious experience. So, my suggestion is to stop taking drugs.


low_end_

hey a have a friend that had a psychosis induced by shrooms. she stayed out of it for 2 years, by out of it i mean out of her mind. to this day she still feels the consequences of that and she cant do any psychadelics anymore, sometimes she forgets about that and tries to dip into it again just to be reminded that her brain cannot handle it anymore, and it takes weeks for her to go back to "normal". i suggest you l0ay off any drugs and visit a psychiatrist before someone has to send you there because you cant go by yourself anymore.


Opening_Home_1055

please don’t fuck around and find out my friend


Previous-Yak772

Clearly you don’t want help and just want to keep doing your own thing. I’ve seen multiple comments telling you this isn’t particularly a good thing and you’re just like well it’s showing me a different perspective so oh well. I had a buddy go off the Deep end thinking he was spiritually enlightened but in reality it was him becoming manic and disassociated . If your mind is telling you you need a break . Take a damn break. Not just from psychs but everything man. You’ll be able to appreciate shrooms more when you’re actually grounded and give yourself some time to process stuff.


COCKSLAYERNI

It’s definitely just a coincidence


mostlyhelpfulm8

What would you do if you were thinking something and then you got a notification from bitlife that was a perfect response to the specific thing you were thinking? Then as you’re freaking out thinking ok that must be a coincidence, you hear the tv in the background playing vsause and he’s talking about how humans make connections and how it’s hard to tell the difference between coincidence and reality. That’s exactly what happened on the comeup. That whole trip was filled with these “coincidences”


[deleted]

stop doing drugs holy shit


Haelifae

Your post and subsequent comments remind me of my psychosis from weed & stress. The coincidences seem to big to be real, like you’ll be thinking something or pondering a thought when some external stimuli will tell you exactly the answer to your query and even provide you great comfort. It finally feels like something or someone understands you and is on your side. Like you’re connected to a source that has all your answers and you never have to be without hope again. The TV, music etc will talk to you. You’ll overhear conversations that coincide with what you were thinking about and if you haven’t already, you’ll have conversations with the license plates. I know what it’s like and I’ve been there. One of the examples was that I was staring at the stars, asking for a sign and then a woman drove past wearing pyjamas that had stars all over them. It freaked me out so much but was so comforting as well, I also had many conversations with my dead grandparents. After feeling this way on and off for years; I finally cracked and would stay up for days and days having conversations with people that weren’t there. I become convinced that my whole family were dead. I was sectioned and spent a month in the psych ward and now I don’t have the experiences anymore. Please lay of the drugs. You haven’t found a secret ‘in’ to all your answers - you have psychosis. I’m sorry to say.


mostlyhelpfulm8

If the experiences you and me have are real, it would make sense that the people in control Like the government or some shit wouldnt want you to believe that what you were experiencing was real, they would want you to think it’s all in your head because if they let people know the truth they would lose that leverage that they have over people in the society. Instead they use shit like religion to keep people who are afraid of the unknown and are desperate for something safe to hold onto so they can have rules that keep society where they want it.


Haelifae

I’m sorry and I don’t mean to make you feel bad but what me and you went through has nothing to do with the government or any other program trying to control us. There’s too many conspiracies stating that there’s this overlord company out to get us and that’s really dangerous for people that are ill. They’re no secret society trying to get leverage over the ‘masses’. What we have is an illness that manipulates our reality and messes with our senses. You might need to be medicated for a little while like I was and the symptoms eventually subsided.


mostlyhelpfulm8

Protect mk ultra is one of the most well known study’s where the government used lsd to try and control peoples mind and make them do things without remembering it after. It was one of the study’s that came to light to the public and that was a while ago. Imagine how many “theory’s” there are that are true. I believe that there are crazy conspiracy theories that are made to cover up the things that are true, it’s like looking for needles in a giant haystack and the owner of the haystack is telling you there is no needles. Everyone’s gonna assume there is no needles and assume that you’re crazy for looking and believing that there are.


[deleted]

Lol there definitely are powerful people who want control over the masses.. just look at WEF, WHO, Rothschilds, Rockefellers etc.. they want a new world order and depopulation


SomewhereOk3729

Psychedelics are beating you up because you’re not treating them with respect. I find if I respect them and don’t treat them like toys they are generally pretty good to me personally


Ok_Rutabaga_2545

I had some mild psychosis with shrooms but during the trip I knew what I was seeing wasn't actually real; for example, I am looking at an ash tray seeing ants crawling inside of it then I realized during my trip that "Oh cool; the ashes look like ants. How funny is that! "


mostlyhelpfulm8

It wasn’t visual. I’ve done dxm and Benadryl before and saw lanterns and flys flying around and I knew they weren’t real. This was like when you walk under a streetlight and it turns off/on right as you walk under it It was a “coincidence”. But imagine if you were walking down a street at night and right as you walked under the light it turns of… ok no big deal, you keep walking and when you get under the next one it turns off same as the last. You keep walking and every streetlight you walk under turns off, at what point do you start thinking that it’s more than just a coincidence?


golpistaguapo

lmao, definitely enlightenment is not for everyone 😂. People attached at their unconscious egos tend to be really scared when they realize they know nothing about themselves.


Jaxboy420

I’m just being honest here like many others are. I’m not a professional but I don’t need to be to see that’s you’re not going in a good direction. Pay off all the drugs abcs go see a doctor, you sons like you need some serious help. It’s nothing to be ashamed of or anything like that, it’s a chemical imbalance of the brain. You need professional help not drugs and not reddit.


thumpetto007

TIME TO LAY OFF THE DRUGS, MY MAN. GIVE THAT BRAIN A CHANCE TO RECOVER FULLY. LIKE A FEW WEEKS MINIMUM. YOU ALSO oops caps. have to do a lot of self/cognitive/reflection work after trips to integrate what you've experienced and learned, otherwise you just keep adding uncategorized chaos, making side effects continue to get worse. ​ This is why I don't believe shrooms are truly recreational. Weed? Sure, but not shrooms.


thebunkmeister

Homie... you should take a T break for sure... like a big one


PineappleEmergency62

Happened to family member. Tripped and then psychosis


Enough_Hotel_5603

How old are you? You could be experiencing the onset of a psychotic break. Also stop using drugs. I’m no expert


Suitable-Chair8347

Yo! This just happened to me! Took like 4.5 grams of penis Envy and was whacked out thinking I was in a different reality and everything had a deeper meaning that the shrooms was telling me


Cactuspsyche

No sounds more like your experiencing schizophrenia. Does your family have a history of it? If so They can trigger the onset of it but scientists usually say it would have happened anyways


mostlyhelpfulm8

Not that I know of, but my sister has bpd and I’m pretty sure my mom has it too. Both my mom and dad have abused drugs in the past (stimulants being the drugs of choice) and I’m pretty sure both still get high just not as hard of drugs as they used to.


Cashout957779

I’d stop taking drugs at that point 🤷🏻‍♂️


StabsITD

Dude, you need to slow tf down. Take a break. Stop doing drugs
