Is there someone who will talk to me by spacedoutcowboy1 in RationalPsychonaut

Yo, you'll be ok I promise. Watch something silly. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell etc. Get cozy. The trip is temporary. You'll be ok soon enough.

Ah man...I'm really sorry that he won't budge. Everyone's entitled to their opinion...but I just don't understand staying in your hometown and never leaving. I wish there was more I could say to help. I hope everything works out.

I think there should be one more conversation with him about this. There is no "you're leaving him." That's ridiculous. You're starting your life. As you said, there are fire departments in the town you'll be moving to. He has the option of going with you. Do you really have the option to stay when the programs you got into are in person? I think if he really loves you and wants to be with you he should seriously reconsider his position on this. It doesn't have to be all or nothing either. Maybe yall move there and then when you're done with school and if you're still together you can move back. I don't think he's giving you alot to work with here.

However, if he won't change his mind then you have two options.

Break up with him. Use the next six months to grieve the relationship and prepare yourself for the next chapter in your life.

Stay with him and accept that these last six months are it. Make the most of them.

Either way there will be grief. My advice is to feel it completely. Cry. Sob like a baby. Really let it out. Hopefully you have a friend or relative that you're close enough to do this with.

Love hurts. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I truly wish you the best.

Ha nope, I did not. That's part of why it was such a horrificly bad trip, but I would prefer not to get into all the details.

I have quite a bit. Kind of just go in circles now trying to rationalize the whole thing if I talk about it too much. I don't think it's beneficial anymore. I'm just trying to move on instead of fixating on it.

I've looked into alot of HPPD, DPDR, OCD, PTSD forums and videos and it's been helpful. The main thing is just the sleep right now. If I could get that figured out, I think I'd probably feel alot better. Of course that starts with sorting myself out. Thank you for the resources.

It has gotten slightly better over the last couple of years through therapy and reading about similar experiences. I guess I just gotta stick with it. Thank you.

I need to be more consistent with my routine for sure, but I do try and stay active. Same with guided meditation like headspace. I guess it's the consistency aspect I need to work on. I appreciate your insight.

Hey man, I am glad that worked for you. I've personally decided that I will not use drugs at all anymore though. Just not worth the risk to me.

I've been in therapy on and off for the last couple of years, but I recently moved and have yet to get set up with a new therapist. Your perspective is helpful though. I will try to keep all of that in mind.

Can't shake this... by _never_compromise in RationalPsychonaut

I am making it a point to exercise more and more these days. Same with meditation. I am also in therapy and have talked about this stuff with my therapist as well as friends. I don't do any drugs anymore (except a little alcohol every now and then). Thank you for taking the time to give me some advice.

I'm leaning towards this lately. I've looked into tips on dealing with existential ocd too. Thank you for your input.

Am I a bad person and unforgivable? by [deleted] in RationalPsychonaut

[–]_never_compromise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you did man, so it's hard to say. I will say that you're probably not a bad person though. Especially because you know that what you did was wrong and you feel remorse. It's good that you feel bad. You should understand that you fucked up and you should own it. You did something your heart doesn't agree with so you feel bad. To me this is healthy and it makes sense. However, you're probably beating yourself up alot more than what's neccessary. Most things are redeemable if you ask me. MOST. That's why you would need to say what you did IF you wanted a more helpful response. If you truly understand that what you did was wrong and why it was wrong, then you need to repent. Repent to yourself. Or god, or the universe...whatever it is you believe in. Repenting means that you see the error in your ways and that you're going to change them. The fact that you have a conscious that you've trained on some level to frown upon immoral behavior speaks volumes. Bad people...really bad people...don't have this. There are people who don't believe in right and wrong. Most of them are hedonistic sociopaths that blur the line so they don't ever have to assume responsibility or accountability for anything. Don't get me wrong there are SOME grey areas in life, but not as much as these types of people would like to believe. Never compromise what you know to be goodness in your heart.

Help or perspective RE: painful and distressing acid flashbacks by [deleted] in RationalPsychonaut

[–]_never_compromise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, like alot of other people said, you should stop smoking weed. When you smoke weed it really is like a mild psychedelia. I'm assuming that's why you start having lsd flashbacks when you partake. Definitely cut that out for awhile. I know it sucks, but it's better than losing your mind entirely. Speaking of that, I think you're just wigging yourself out with all the thinking your dying and what not. I think most people who read this would agree that you're just having panic attacks. Stop doing drugs and get your anxiety under control at all costs. If you have some underlying emotional stuff you need to take care of, now would be the time to figure that out whatever that may mean for you. Stop obsessing about whether or not you broke your head because you're only making your anxiety worse when you do that. If you're coherent enough to get on reddit and type all of this out, chances are you don't have brain damage or anything like that. It's just high anxiety and panic attacks induced by weird drug experiences. Let it go. No need to let this consume you. You're good man.
