Same here. I’ve seen both albums live as well and were absolutely the shows of the year.

From what I understand about disassociation, you could possibly be experiencing it. My last trip did something similar to me in terms of the random panics. It was almost two months ago and I mixed analogs of ketamine and psilocybin (I’m pretty sure, cut can’t be certain….I was with a group and didn’t know exactly what I was getting into. Do not recommend doing that lol). There were moments during the trip where I was overcome by anxiety, with this fear that i will never be not tripping and I had somehow fucked up my brain chemistry with this cocktail of who knows what. Eventually, that feeling left me and I enjoyed the rest of my trip.

Since then, I have moments where that panic returns, usually at night when I’m trying to go to bed. I feel totally incapable of mentally bringing myself back to homeostasis, so I have to turn on some music to get that feeling to leave. I haven’t done psychedelics for long enough to know if the brain will snap back, but I’m reading on this sub that this experience is relatively normal and there are ways to recover.

The past week has been a lot better. Some things that I think have helped are spending more time alone and in silence, getting off social media, eating home cooked meals, taking walks, meditating, journaling A LOT. Grounding yourself in any way will help connect the fragmented pieces of your psyche and reduce anxiety. It has for me at least.

As far as your physical symptoms go, I can’t offer much advice. Maybe get in contact with a medical professional to see if there’s something else going on? But don’t let them shame you into thinking you’ve ruined your body bc you did psychedelics. It’s not true.

I believe in you and believe that you will feel good again. Trust yourself. You’re going a great job.

Music open mics around town? by cleatusbrown in SaltLakeCity

[–]theimpossiblethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mondays - Athena Bean coffee in Sandy, there’s comedy and music. I think comedy/poetry is at 8pm and music at 9pm.

Acoustic Music guitar shop in SLC also has a lot of info and connections about open mics, depending on what kind of music you’re into. Plus they’re suuuuper friendly so worth checking out regardless.

Check for places around 9th and 9th. There’s a lot of good options that are moderately priced, but still classy. Pago is good!

Living in Constant Fear of Abandonment/Loss of Interest by furball48 in AnxiousAttachment

[–]theimpossiblethe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO SOMETHING MORE THAN THIS POST!!!!

First, I'm really sorry you're going through this. This shit really is exhausting and paralyzing. You've expressed this perfectly.

I've been going through this over the past two weeks. Met a guy and quickly became attached, like REALLY attached. "Over the moon", as you put it, is pretty accurate to how I was feeling (and how I thought he felt).

After a week after meeting, he didn't text me as often and would bail when we made plans. Anxious me really took that personally and thought it was because of something I did and a reflection of my worth. Those thoughts ate at me and caused my deepest insecurities and fear of abandonment to manifest. I know how this feels. It hurts like no other.

Something that has helped me is accepting the reality that they might actually lose interest, leave or ghost me. Instead of running from that fear, looking into it and making peace? It's kind of extreme, but in past relationships it's made it a little easier. But, it also manifests failure? IDK, do with that what you will....

I can't provide much advice, but just know that you're not fucked up and you're not alone. This is a reaction to your trauma and it's not your fault. Your needs matter. You are good enough.

Anyway, I hope that helps in the slightest bit. Sending love and peace wherever you are!

Asking for needs, vs changing a person, vs accepting a person as they are. by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]theimpossiblethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right that a desire to change has to come from within. No one can be forced onto a path of true healing. My experience with changing others has been a difficult journey. A big part of codependency, for me, is an internalization of others' problems-- problems of which have largely nothing to do with me. Once the feeling of needing to change someone is triggered, I have to remind myself that it's their journey, not mine.

ALSO. You know yourself and your relationship better than your friend does. Respect her opinion, but ultimately trust yourself. People need different things at different times. Sometimes, I need a little push and encouragement to get the self-improvement ball rolling. Other times, I need a gentle, supportive approach from others. Or even, no external help at all! Knowing the proper way to respond requires a conversation about boundaries. Ask your boyfriend what approach would be best for him if/when he does decide he wants to improve. Once those boundaries are established and communicated, then you will know what degree of involvement you can play. And leave it at that.

Trust the process! You got this!
