About two years ago I bought two gel tabs, I was 18 at the time and I had taken acid countless of times before and always had a good trip, if I did have a “bad trip” it was really just being overwhelmed or bored since I was alone in my room. This time I took one of the two gel tabs and it had a small taste to it but I just ignored it. I had never set an intention before but I had heard of people doing that so I decided to set an intention and asked that I learned what my meaning to life is. I started drawing and drew a soul with a light flashing out of its hand, I stared at this drawing and it turned into a movie. I was seeing flappers dancing bartenders etc. It looked like I was staring at my past lives or somebody else’s past life in a picture book. These were the craziest visuals I had ever had, and while I was tripping I was wearing a band tee with horror style faces on it. When I looked down at my shirt one of the faces jumped at me, and it all went down from there. I ended up having a really bad trip and could feel my skull and inside of my body crushing and saw demons everywhere. The walls in my room were screaming at me and I tried going outside but it was like the world was mad at me and all of the trees were angry. I felt so gross and scared and at some point it felt like the visuals were talking to me. The visuals got sloppy and they were basically telling me the meaning to life is stupid. I haven’t taken acid ever since, but I’ve done shrooms mdma and have smoked a dmt pen and have had good trips, worst that’s ever happened was I felt overwhelmed. I want to take acid with my girlfriend this Saturday but I’m kind of scared to because the last time I took it I felt like I was being psychologically tortured. Any advice on how to overcome this? I really do like acid since all of my previous experiences were fun. I want to enjoy my trip but I don’t want the trip to go the way the last trip went.
