Ever had a bad drug trip??

@CountScrofula it’s been a week, I’m still fucked up 😩🥺

@SW-User What was the trip on? How much did you take?

@CountScrofula it deadass was just really strong weed, now I can’t sleep the same and my stomach drops and heart races. anxiety, and depression but I feel like shit and I won’t ever be the same again. The feeling of not being real is the worst. Ugh idk what to do

@SW-User Fuck I'm sorry that sounds rough. When too much strong weed crosses into serious anxiety territory it can be really debilitating and even traumatizing.

You didn't break your brain and you should recover from this.

Are you focusing a lot on the trip itself? Like replaying it in your head? Is there any kind of thought or event that's triggering the anxiety/depression?

@CountScrofula Yeah I am! Everyday it replays over and over and it’s so embarrassing and scary what I did while high that it makes me severely depressed. I’m also scared to live, like Idk know reality in a way, that’s what’s scary. 😩🥺

@SW-User You may have a kind of PTSD coming out from this. Do you have access to any kind of mental health services?

@CountScrofula I couldn’t go to any appointments for the last week because I work and can’t afford to miss it. But yes, I’ve been working out a way to seek help that can work around my schedule. You may be right though, the shit is all too traumatizing.

@SW-User The fact you're re-living the bad parts of the trip over and over again sounds like post-trauma behaviour. Hopefully someone can give you some steps to work with it. I'd google PTSD self-help techniques.

It may not be full-on PTSD but the techniques will still be useful.

@CountScrofula Thank you, I actually just went to see a therapist today, it really helped. Just have to be mindful and stay grounded.

@SW-User Awesome! You'll get past this. I'm sorry it was such an awful time. I've been there and its rough.

@CountScrofula yeah man! Thank you for the advise!

@SW-User You got this!

@SW-User @CountScrofula Awesome advice you gave her! 🙌 How are you doing now, Harley?
