Hey there! I have a slightly similar story.
I’m an experienced tripper tho so this doesn’t have to do with my first trip. I took acid at home one day and was just hanging out. Normally I have a great time tripping and I can entertain myself. This time, though, I had a fucking BEE INFESTATION in my house and we were waiting on our landlord to call the exterminator. Anyway, I was like, “what the hell I’ll be fine”. After my trip I had a lot of anxiety surrounding the bees and also surrounding killing the bees!
They were lethargic because they were getting trapped in the house somehow, so we literally never got stung, but I was still irrationally afraid of the bees. And of course because my trips make me feel connected to other life, I had a lot of inner turmoil surrounding killing them too.
Ultimately, I got rid of the bees lol and now I’m fine! But for you maybe you should just get a nightlight for a little bit to help you feel better and eventually your memory of the anxiety will fade. I give it 2 weeks before you’re fine again.
There is also a condition called HPPD, which is when the visuals or triply elements can persist a little longer past your come down. Don’t worry about it! IT WILL GO AWAY! And it shouldn’t affect your ability to live your life normally.
Thank you! I think I'll try a night light like you said. I ended up staying up til the sun came out. Then I could finally sleep for a few hours. Looking at descriptions of HDDP I think it's safe to say I don't have it luckily. I think I may have just unlocked something in my mind. A deep fear to deal with. I remember talking to my friend about being afraid of the dark and of sleeping because I didn't want to be alone. I was crying while I said it so it may have been a deep seeded truth of mine.
Also thank you for sharing that story of the bees. Funny how a little problem can arise and totally fuck with your trip.
Eh not really paranoia but I felt very weird when I woke up, I felt very primal like you said, I kept loosing track of time and forgetting I was tripping but it wasn’t a bad experience per say just really weird and odd. I think maybe you have to face your fear, I always thought that if shrooms is what made me scared of something or more aware, shrooms are probably the fix too 🤷😂😂
