How did psychedelics change you? I'm just reminiscing from last trip in May which was one of the worst things that could happen to me but also one of the best in a way.
After my 8th time doing shrooms I had a bad trip. Prolonged derealization, paranoia, depersonalization, and anxiety. Can't smoke weed till this day as the entire substance of weed now feels psychedelic to me and it brings me back to how I felt after the bad trip.
The pros: I became much more disciplined and certain about my life direction. I started acing university courses (specifically weed-out CS courses, you'll know what I'm talking about if you've done CS), started working out more disciplinarily, and fixed my diet to the point. Shrooms definitely dulled my emotions more than what they were before but I rarely get emotional now. The last time I had an actual emotional experience was my last trip, since then I'm desensitized to the normal bullshit people react to.
I stress less than I did before, I had started losing hair due to stress-induced hair loss which has been reversing itself since my last "bad trip". I enjoy life for the simplistic things like a simple sunset or the breeze on a windy day hitting your face. My bad trip kind of broke down my life and put me through some harsh shit but it helped me rebuild on a more reliable building block. I was able to finally shed a toxic relationship through some realizations because of the shrooms.
Overall, though I would never do psychedelics again, they were a double-edged sword that helped me slay my dragons but also did damage to me in the process.. Which I guess you could consider being a good thing as going through rough patches is the key to growth.
Curious as to what other's experiences on this forum have been.
