    Thanks for sharing! I’ve only had one truly bad trip but it was quite similar to what you describe in your comment. It turned out to be overall very positive for me (long story short: I came out as non-binary) but it truly is a terrifying experience, especially in the moment when it feels like it’s lasting forever.

    Sorry to hear about your mom, I wish you both the best!

      Hey well congrats on coming out! Sometimes an experience like that is just what you need to give you that push to make a change.

      Also yeah, the fact that the concept of time basically flies out the window and that someone could easily start thinking they’re gonna be stuck in there forever is really terrifying. I don’t know how I would’ve handled the situation if I wasn’t an experienced “psychonaut” because without that voice in the back of my head reminding me that I had been there before, that I was safe and that it would all be over eventually, things might’ve gone very differently.

      Sorry to hear about your mom, I wish you both the best!

      Thank you! I think we’re gonna be just fine! If I’ve learned anything about my experience it’s that this is all part of life and I need to stop worrying about what’s coming and to try to appreciate where we’re at.
