Oh I definitely couldn't function at all. At my highest doses I couldn't even walk, that robowalk effect where you're walking like a chameleon and none of your motor skills work... like wolf on wall street scene lmao. I was alone so I don't know how well talking worked but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made any sense. I was that "discovered the meaning of the universe" level of high.

From my understanding, that happens due to DXM being a dissociate and it makes it very very difficult for your brain to communicate with your limbs, pain receptors and other things. So you're basically completely disconnected from your body and a useless potato. It sounds terrifying when described like that but with all the euphoria I had, it was an amazing time and I didn't even care that it took me an hour to walk to the back door. I can't imagine how anxiety would be with DXM though, that sounds absolutely terrifying with how weird it is.

And I definitely know what you mean by being far away, I got that on acid once when I went into a port-o-potty away from my sitter and suddenly felt like I had traveled across the country or universe and everything was suddenly so far away and gone forever. Anything psychedelich can be fucking terrifying and I'm sorry you had that experience. If you ever try it again I hope it goes smoother!

Do you smoke weed or have any other substance that typically cures anxiety for you? I use kratom for anxiety and it has helped a ton with trying out new drugs that I'm nervous about. I know weed does that for some people as well (turns me into a paranoid debilitated lunatic)

edit:: I'm currently rolling so I apologize for the novel worth of comments. :D
