LSD HAS MADE ME FEELING SCARED!! Please read :(

hi guys!
A month ago now I went to a festival and did the obvious stuff! LSD being a stupid mistake thinking I'd have a good time like my first tab the year before that.. I had a huge scare in my trip being trapped in a rhythm getting faster and faster pulling my into a shape in the centre of my vision usually someone's eyes or a black dot in the sky.. trying to pull my self out of it it just made it worse but I was also pulling away at thin air stretching what was in from of me .. I had no controls of what I was doing when I was pulling things appart .. people thaught I was having a fit. An hour went past and I was feeling okay for a bit , not good at all but better than being in this trapped place I was .. a day later without any sleep I realised it's not faded, so I had a joint hoping if get some sleep from it! But again it threw me back into this state pulling things apart getting trapped in this rythem .. I let my self relax thinking it can't do any harm but it got worse in an instant and I have no idea how to explain what happened after that but after I came out and felt a little more in controls nothing felt the same. Coulnt enjoy the whole festival because I was worried at some point it will take me back .. nothing felt real for about 5 days. I didn't eat didn't sleep and when I did I woke up maybe worse the next day .. a moth has gone past and not one day have I not thought about what I'm still feeling like!! If tried allot ! Meditation sorta calmed me down but when I feel bad again I always sent that I didn't feel that way .. my brain is consentrating on the smallest ways of thinking like the very few seconds of eye movent when you look from on thing to another .. became more notisabke than the few seconds I was looking at something .. every day I'm faced with a new problem like now I can't focuse on something without feeling like I havnt live the scone before and every second feels like if woken up ! Having the memories of what I saw but like it wasn't me and a new me pops out seeing the same things !!! It's so hard to explain but super super scary!! What do I do? I do feel so good when I have moment when I feel slightly more normal I fear to get wise ! I'm explaining this the best I can but my head is all over the place at the moment it's hard to to anything !!! Is it anxiety ?! Stress ? I don't feel stressed I feel quite relaxed some times it's just feels like something broken inside me !!! Please please please someone reassure me !! Before I completely lose it !!!! Lots of love to you guys !

Most likely what happened is that you had a really bad experience, you accentuated it by smoking weed, which just overactivated your neurotransmitters all over again, and now are having conditioned thoughts based on that experience.  That's how anxiety becomes chronic, and a lot of people get their first anxiety attacks while high.  I'd avoid the drugs now and see a therapist who can help you decondition yourself from the bad experience and help you learn how not to think this is going to keep happening.  And something about LSD -- there hasn't been any pure LSD on the market since the early 60's, it's generally cut with speed, which is why the trips last so long.  That makes it hard to come down.  You're also supposed to have a calming guide with you if you're new to the drug who can talk you down.  It's very powerful, and can bring things out of you that might have come out eventually anyway -- that was the original purpose of the drug.  Marijuana can do this too.  So for you, I'm afraid it's time to stay away from drugs and recover yourself.  Peace.

There are some new and extremely dangerous street drugs showing up, including a new LSD hybrid that can keep you on a ghastly high for days. Nobody is sure yet what the after effects of these are. I don't mean to frighten you, but if you dropped acid a month ago and are still having bizarre head trips, I would urge you to see your doctor.

It is also very possible that this drug triggered a massive panic attack and your memories are still so vivid, so frightening, they trigger ANOTHER panic attack...........kind of like your brain just can't stop the whirlwind. You say you have moments of calm when you feel "almost" normal, but then something happens and you're back in panic mode.

Please consult your doctor.
I wish you peace.
