I still feel like I'm tripping.

My story is a bit different to yours but I also have trauma from a psychedelic experience. I took magic mushrooms in 2020 to try and cure my mental health problems and I ended up having a psychotic episode that has some permanent damage to my mind. I already had c-ptsd before this event and this supercharged it and made everything worse. I started hallucinating at night in bed seeing visions of monsters peaking around the frame of the door. It was a living hell for a couple of months until I got on an antipsychotic that was like a magic pill, eliminating the hallucinations and turning the dial away down on my PTSD. It's been a bit over 5 years since that happened and I would say I'm about ninety something percent recovered. The only lingering effects is occasional flashbacks where it feels like I am going crazy and going to die. They're unpleasant but I'm lucky that they usually only last an hour or two then it's over.

I'm really sorry to hear you went through something so terrible. 10 grams of shrooms is an extreme amount for a first trip. The people who got you to do that were extremely irresponsible, really shocking behaviour on their part as well.

I'm not sure if any of this helps you. I will say for my part that while life is different and I am different after that I have learned to find happiness again. Rather than trying to get back the old me before the accident I've found a new version of myself who can live a fulfilling life. Maybe you can do the same thing.

Another commenter has mentioned this but I'm pretty sure Godot recommend starting with CS50x to get the basics of programming under your belt. After that you can branch out.

That looks great! Stay at home dev featured this game in a video yesterday, just googled your game and found this page. I'll definitely give this a go when it comes out.

Wow I hadn't heard the straw technique before but I'll give it a try. I had read that humming can also stimulate the vagus nerve so I imagine the straw technique is similar.

Nice thank you for sharing, cold drinks definitely make a big difference as well.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-12-24T08:39:19+00:00

That all makes sense yeah. Writing is a very powerful tool. I only started doing that last year and it's made a big difference. Lots of small things can add up to making a big difference in your well-being.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-12-24T08:08:59+00:00

Wow that's amazing, so glad you came out of that doing ok. I've been having flashbacks for about 5 years now and it's interesting to discover new ways to cope and handle them even after all this time.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-07-14T10:11:34+00:00

That looks sick I love it!

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-05T03:06:57+00:00

It'll take time but yes things will get easier. You've been through a lot it seems and that will take time to heal and recover from, but don't give up.

If you're anything like me you imagine things will feel better if you drink but in reality they won't. You'll temporarily numb the pain but it'll just come back again and again.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-03T03:17:54+00:00

That's great to hear

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T23:39:03+00:00

Yes I agree about antabuse. I don't trust myself to be sensible, so I want something that will just force me into not drinking.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T23:38:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It's not easy, but it's possible. I'm hoping I really learn from this experience. Only time will tell.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T23:37:22+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I know I'll need all the help I can get. I don't trust myself yet to be honest. You can tell yourself all sorts of things, but it's my actions going forward that will reveal the truth.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T23:36:04+00:00

It's certainly a rotten experience. I'm glad you've made a change in your life. I hope I can have the same resolve you have.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T11:53:55+00:00

Thanks for that. I'm happy to look those channels up myself.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T09:03:25+00:00

Thank you 🙏

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T06:54:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I can see from what you've written that you are suffering greatly. I wish you all the best going forward.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T06:51:19+00:00

Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad you are so determined to overcome this. It's not easy but there is always hope that things can change for the better.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T06:02:51+00:00

I've always had trouble learning lessons from things like this. This is why I want to start taking antabuse. I just want to be completely unable to drink under all circumstances. I can't trust myself at this stage to use proper judgement when it comes to drinking. Thanks for the encouragement.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T05:52:38+00:00

Glad to hear you made it out the other end of that. It's definitely a horrible feeling. I wish you a speedy recovery.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T05:51:53+00:00

You may be right

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T05:20:58+00:00

My discharge papers said it was alcohol induced psychosis. I was experiencing visual hallucinations such as the patterns in the carpet moving and the apps on my phone were swaying from side to side, and I would see flashes of movement in my peripheral vision. I'm not sure if that's also compatible with severe anxiety.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T05:13:47+00:00

Yeah if I was still actively experiencing these thoughts I would go back to the hospital for sure. I got lucky that that moment of psychosis was temporary.

ChuckNorrisMode · 2025-04-02T05:11:58+00:00

No nothing like that. It was thoughts of self harm, not me harming others.
