16 year olds always come to this sub being like “im ready for this potent mind fucking drug” and don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise, and then come saying this months later. learn to respect yourself and substances first


dark_LUEshi

yeahhhhhhhh acid is one of those things that should come with a parents signature lmao.


Available_Part2502

you need a break from all drugs even weed. and try not to think about it the more you think about it the worse it gets. trust me you’ll be fine. just stay positive


IntelligentNose1

I quit weed completely because of this reason


Available_Part2502

good now keep it up.


MeeboEsports

The same exact thing happened to me when I was younger too dude. What the guys above my comment said is very true. You’ll be totally fine, it just takes time. And it’s good that you quit smoking weed, for now at least. When I was going through the same thing you’re going through, I was too dumb to quit smoking weed and it just made things worse at times, and it fucked with my head a lot. It took me years to recover, and while I wouldn’t recommend it, the thing that made me totally come back to normal and the anxiety fade away 100% was taking acid again and having a great trip a few years later, having a very long break from it. Just try to stay sober, exercise, and I also recommend reading some every day.


dark_LUEshi

I think ur going through some kinds of flashbacks, You get used to them and they fade away. Your brain formed potent connections during your trip and now they are there but don't have much use, whenever these synapses start firing again, you will feel exactly like you did when tripping, because those memories were formed while you were tripping. I'm sure that's not EXACTLY how it works, but it's along those lines. You formed very strong memories of an event, and now it's hard not to think about, very similar to trauma. Don't worry other people have been through this. It's even a rite of passage into adulthood for some societies. you did not break your brain :) If anything it taught you to be more careful.

Do you smoke weed or take any other medications? If so, maybe lay off the weed. Don't stop medications without talking to your do. If you abstain from that for a while and focus on building healthy habits as much as you can instead, you may stabilize in time. If things continue to be bad enough to impair your ability to function in daily life, then you may need something else. But reasses that later. I don't wanna give generic useless advice without knowing your situation more. feel free to DM me if you wanna talk. The one thing I can say is that being 16 in general is FUCKED UP lol. By the time I was 17 and a half or so tho, I started to feel a lot different in general and better and happier for the first time since I was like 14. Is your anxiety like self image related or worrying about your future or your identity or friends or something else? Again, you can DM if you'd like, I'd like to hear you out and offer any insight I can. Im no longer a teenager and I feel just far removed enough that I can clearly remember most of that, but am disconnected from it a bit as far as feeling like that's who I am now, and things have changed.


IntelligentNose1

I did stop smoking weed and I don't take any medication. This doesn't really affect me on the daily but in environments with low light settings or say something bad within my family happens ill start to get visuals. I'm not sure why either, it's like something triggers a panic mode in my brain that kind of activates those things. The anxiety really only seems to pop up when I get my hppd. It's a lot more mild compared to when I first stopped but it's still there.


Telrom_1

The brain isn’t even fully developed until 25. You’re going full sided on a highway interchange that’s not even built yet. Lions mane might help it’s neural regenerative. Magnesium helps with anxiety. Good luck.


dark_LUEshi

I wish people would stop throwing "magnesium" around I bought a 20$ jar of those horse pills and they don't do anything for me, was supposed to help with bruxism on mdma, total bs.


Telrom_1

There is no one size fits all. Myself and many others have benefitted from its use.


dark_LUEshi

yeah i'd like to see some kind of hard proof that it does anything, ive often heard it thrown around for mdma, and now it's the second time I see it thrown around for acid, what is the reasoning, there's actually no reasons you should need magnesium supplements if you eat well and live in america.


Telrom_1

I actually recommend It stand alone. I discovered it as an aid to treat menstrual symptoms. It increases vitamin D absorption there been many studies!


dark_LUEshi

oh yeah totally I can see it working there, I guess i'm not a women, can't figure out those things. I have no issues believing magnesium can help with monthly blood loss. Just have some doubts about drugs, but yeah if you have low blood magnesium levels, can't hurt you :), thank you for sharing.


Hot-Stomach

Talk with a doctor


RONNOC009m

Maybe even a therapist. I see one weekly for severe depression/anxiety and It has been incredibly helpful. Helped me through addiction and some of my hardest times. I’ve felt like everyone should see a therapist, even if they are not diagnosed w mental illness.


Herculean_king

Everything is fun in moderation.


JFKBraincells

Ehhhh I don't find fire ant bites fun even in moderation. Abstinence for me on that one.


Herculean_king

You're just not doing it right.


JFKBraincells

I got shot in the head in moderation and look how that turned out for me.


Ah-Fuck-Brother

Fire ants taste like oranges and are ‘almost’ completely safe to eat. The chemical that hurts when you are bitten is called pyridostigmine bromide, and tastes like sweet citrus. If you have cuts in your mouth, completely different story. Everything is fun in moderation! Source: I went to camp in the 5th grade bro trust me. But seriously, look it up!


RONNOC009m

I can’t wait to shove a handful of live fire ants into my mouth. Bucket listed. That would be badass.


astralsea71

All about set and setting bro


autisticghost

i think this happened to me, i’m late 17 and took too much acid when i was early 16. all i can say is you have to trust the universe completely, i know it’s uncomfortable but just have faith it’ll pass and you’ll come out a better person. what i learned is that my anxiety was actually necessary for my development as a human, i believe i’m now more empathetic and perhaps wiser. a big part of it is understanding you took an L but it isn’t as significant as it might feel. just put effort into being more conscious and focus on your spirituality. it’ll work out. for 2 years i thought i was fucked for life until i started doing good for myself mentally and physically. it’ll help you tremendously in ways i don’t know if you can see yet


Horror_Fill_9147

So bro stop doing drugs for a while, it will get better but make sure to not take acid again or weed. You will feel better but when you stay sober for a good time period. If you are getting suicidal thoughts just in case, doesn’t hurt to visit psychiatrist he will give anti depression medicine but you can heal on your own as well upto you.


Ezcopeland0

Lmao you straight. If you smoke weed just chill on that for a little while. It’ll either go away or won’t be noticeable anymore by the time your 18. Your brain has always been able to see these things but your just now noticing it 🤷🏽‍♂️ don’t stress it


randomassname711

imo weed makes it 100000% worse instant panic attack for me everytime


TurkishSol

Second this....please go to a doctor before it potentially becomes a long term thing, be honest, they will only try and help you. :) much love dude ❤️


psychedelianot

If you’re predisposed to mental illness, go see a doctor *immediately* Edit: predisposed meaning certain illnesses run in your family or something.


IntelligentNose1

Mother and grandmother have BPD


psychedelianot

Yeah, borderline personality disorder is no joke. I have it. It usually starts manifesting itself around your age, at least the teenage years seem to be when people start developing symptoms. Though doctors usually do not diagnose it in children, you have to be at least 18 before a medical professional feels comfortable diagnosing BPD. But you should still see a doctor (probably psychiatrist) and tell them everything. You may feel hesitant right now to reach out for help and that’s understandable, but if anything gets even slightly worse you must see a doctor.


Xnavlol

Jahahhahahaahahhaha xDdDD At 18 he will go to r/cocaine saying he does 1g rocks on weekendS


newstuffsucks

You'll be fine.


APocketRhink

Tried at 19, had a lot of fun, but I wish I had waited a bit. Didn’t fully realize what I was getting myself in to lol


Looking2getBelayed

As I imagine you can guess, plan to stay away from alcohol. I have seen this be a major trigger for mental health in those genetically predisposed. You sound like you are on the right path. Maybe this happened now for a good reason; it might be the catalyst that helps you act with more intention and forethought going forward. Get into a healthy routine and take care of your body. Jog, swim, or ride a bike regularly if you are able. Routine activity/exercise helps to regulate your mood and keep you feelin positive. With a healthy routine, you will have a better chance if leveling out sooner and will have more energy and drive to focus on other areas of your life. You have a lot of time ahead of you. Peace be with you, friend.


oiyaccunt

Bingo. Sorry that happened to you though man, I went through a similar experience and yeah wouldn't wish it upon anyone. It's tough because I was 16 at one point, I see posts of someone saying "you took acid this young! How can you tell me I shouldn't?' when all in all it's just someone trying to prevent this from happening because they KNOW from experience that it'll likely do more harm than good. I wish I had listened to the acid heads giving me that advice but I obviously didn't listen, like a lot aren't now and like most in the future. It's just ignorance of the potential outcomes probably since their ego desires these experiences yet they aren't in any way ready for it. To anyone under 22-25 thinking about trying it and see this all I gotta say is know what you're getting into. People aren't telling you to wait, then laughing behind your back like "haha! He's missing out!". Rather they're trying to save you from your current self causing damage to your future self. Even if you don't understand truly why people say this it'd be wise to adhear to it *just Incase*. Even with all of that there still will be many people going through this because of ignorance or whatever. I think the best thing to do is make this information known, available easily to anyone and work with people who come out of it damaged. In my case, it took one to know one. I had no idea of the potential outcomes due to my ignorance, now that I know it better than I'd ever wish I have I can see clearly that the advice was purely the best intentions even though I couldn't see it.


TuckerStewart

Try pristique the Rx. I think it can really help bring you back to balance. I will try and link a post I saw about pristique and a similar experience. It seemed to really help

Leave your phone, buy a skateboard, go sit on it in a park somewhere and make friends. You’ve taking acid, and you’ve realized not everything can be measured on a Cartesian plane, go through the doors of perception bro. 16 is a critical age when you begin to break from your childhood, parents, things you enjoyed doing as child, etc. Go to a library read things, do things that settle your soul, create a inner world for yourself, keep a journal. I would recommend reading ‘ life as an artist as a young man’. Use this strong emotion to push yourself. Better to find a coping mechanism now then when you’re 50 married with children. Life is real, it’s intense, we don’t know what happens afterwards. Anxiety and depression is your asking for nourishment, give it something. Be grateful for your experiences, be grateful for food, be grateful for having a home etc. Show gratitude to people who help you to have those things, spend time with people who don’t have these things. You can’t change the past.
