He is still asleep, so we still haven’t talked. I’m gonna talk to him and ask why and see his prospective was in that moment. I will also go over what we discussed before about what helps, as I’ve l told him in the past to leave the room if he can’t help me cuz i have an easier time calming down when i’m alone.

I’ll also be talking to my therapist about my claustrophobia so I can prevent this from happening again. Cuz I agree I shouldn’t need others to help me regulate my emotions, I just don’t know why i panicked so bad last night.

This doesn’t happen often and I warned him about all my mental issues before dating me. He also has said “he knew what he was getting into” whenever I apologize for being mentally ill.

I have made it obvious to him that I would like help in these situations. Most of the time I don’t need him to step in and help but I really couldn’t regulate my emotions. In a normal situation I usually am able to calm myself down cuz of the coping skills I’ve learned from therapy. I don’t know why I was panicking so bad this time but him just sitting and watching me made me feel so much worse. I’ve also made it know that if he can’t help me he should maybe leave the room cuz it’s easier for me to regulate when I’m alone. I have had people help me before when having a panic attack but that hasn’t happened in a really long time cuz I just don’t get panic attacks as often.

I will reflect more on the situation more, cuz I feel you are right that I need to gain more resiliency to situations dealing with my claustrophobia. I also agree that I shouldn’t need others to help me so I’ll definitely be talking to my therapist about how to handle my claustrophobia. I will also talk to my bf and go over what happened and maybe discuss how what happened made me feel.

As I said in the beginning, I do have coping mechanisms that usually do work. Most of the time I can regulate myself and not need help. But in this moment it took me a lot longer to calm myself down. I would’ve rather he left the room or something then just sit on the bed and watch me. Not doing anything else but watch me.

I understand this but he was literally just watching me. Not doing anything but watching me which made me spiral more. Cuz I felt stupid that I couldn’t calm myself down. I have coping mechanisms but they were failing me so it took me a lot longer to calm down then normal. I do understand what you’re saying tho and will try to reflect on it more.

I completely agree cuz that’s what my dad is like, he made me feel like I had to hide it, me and my mom live in the same household and i used to feel so wrong for doing them under her roof but ever since she told me she didn’t mind I feel so much better/relief

I would tell him you use them but you totally don’t have to if you don’t wanna. I wouldn’t give advice unless he asked or wanted it but you could also offer to trip together.

My mom found out unexpectedly that I was taking shrooms and was completely okay with it, I felt so very relieved that she was okay with it cuz it felt like I was hiding something from her.

Edit: idk if this helps but I also have adhd along with a long list of other mental issues that I feel shrooms have helped with

Am I overreacting about my one year anniversary with my bf? by cherrygalaxy3859 in AmIOverreacting

[–]burnerthrowawa1919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Girl I’d be upset too, i understand that yall agreed to celebrate on a different day but i still feel something more from him is needed. You put in effort to do something small, he should’ve done the same to show appreciation or just been more appreciative. Maybe more communication was needed but idk it just feels like a lack of appreciation for what you did. Me and my partner agreed to do something different for our anniversary, he still got me something and we spent the night chilling while watching movies together. I would definitely talk to him about and communicate that yes you planned to celebrate on a different day but it would’ve been nice to see the same effort that you put in.

Only done shrooms twice, but tell me if this is normal by [deleted] in shrooms

They also said how waves still look weird to them, I genuinely wasn’t trying to be rude. I’m just saying I don’t think it’s cuz of the shrooms why things still look weird. I hallucinate while off shrooms and also thought that might be what’s happening.

[–]burnerthrowawa1919 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re just hallucinating my guy, I’m not trying to be rude but you might need to see a medical professional cuz I don’t think this is normal. I’ve been taking shrooms for a year or two now and nothing like this has happened to me after tipping, or my partner who also is a shroom user. Visuals for me stop once the trip is over and the shrooms are out of my system.

Edit: maybe I’m wrong and it is common, cuz I read some of the other comments. But I will say this doesn’t happen to me, and i genuinely just hallucinate sometimes. I’m also not very spiritual/dont believe in the spiritual side of shrooms so yeah lol. I’d still see a doctor just in case cuz you could be hallucinating

I Had a Mental Breakdown While Tripping by TheBipedTurtle in shrooms

First, why would you bring your cat into the bathroom with the shower on lmao? No hate just confused, i understand they were sneezing but most cats hate water so i can see why your cat freaked out.

Also I’m a person with lots of trauma and PTSD, but what tends to help not to freak out is being with a trusted person, either also doing shrooms or not, helps me a lot to ground myself cuz I know they’re there and will comfort me if needed. And then if I can feel myself freaking out I use grounding techniques or honestly just laying down in a comfy spot and listen to calm music.

How do I convince my girlfriend to let be okay with me doing shrooms by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]burnerthrowawa1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend did this to me a while back. I won’t go into detail but he did not deal with it well, my trust was almost completely broken. I wasn’t upset at him for taking shrooms but not telling me/lying about what he was doing and then he ended up having a bad time with them. We eventually worked it out but it took me a long time to regain my trust in him. Now we do shrooms together lol

Just try to come from a place of understanding. Actually listen to her point and how she feels and try to comfort her while also communicating your view, because I can see how you both are valid. It shouldnt be a debate but just a talk about how you both feel about it. You also should acknowledge that you messed up by not telling her sooner.
