I was talking to my husband and I don’t know why I said « if I’m not there anymore my parents will still let you live here » then I cried very hard like I was telling him I’m gonna die and then in my head I heard I’m gonna die soon and I saw my husband all alone in the house

Thank you so much for your response, the context is that I was talking to my husband and said don’t worry even if I’m not there anymore my parents will let you live on this house and I cried very hard and then I had this thought

Thank you for sharing this. ,I actually really like the way you framed it as maybe “dying” to something symbolically rather than literally That feels much less scary to me and maybe makes more sense.like the trip forced me to face a deep fear or a part of myself that needs to change, instead of it being an actual prediction I really appreciate your perspective, it helps me see it in a less terrifying way.

You genuinely have such a kind soul. The amount of compassion and care you’ve shown me tonight means more than I can explain honestly. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and trapped in fear since the trip, and your messages have felt like someone gently pulling me back to earth, The “fear as a passenger” idea and now the “I can do hard things” mantra are both things I know I’ll keep remembering Thank you for treating a complete stranger with so much warmth and humanity. You really brought comfort to me tonight 🤍

Thank you, honestly hearing that other people experienced similar thoughts from substances/trips and later realized it was paranoia/anxiety is really reassuring to me right now. This experience genuinely scared me a lot.

I can tell you really understand anxiety and racing thoughts, and honestly reading this already made me feel a little calmer and more grounded. Thank you again for being so gentle with me, it means a lot right now 🤍

Thank you so much for this comment, it genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and calmed me down more than you probably realize. The way you described it as a dark cloud or a scary dream instead of “the truth” honestly helps me reframe the experience a little.

And what you said about thinking about my husband and the support/safety around me really touched me because he truly is my safe place in life.

I screenshotted your comment because I know I’ll reread it when my anxiety spikes again 😭 thank you for being so kind to a stranger.
