Tripped for the first time today and I don't get it...
I'll preface this by saying that I've been lurking this and some other shroom focused subreddits for at least two years. Wanted to try psychedelics for even longer, and today was finally the day.
My sister and I each ate 1 gram of dried shrooms about 4 hours ago. Watched some YouTube and listened to music. Eventually, once we confirmed with each other that we weren't tripping balls and we'd be fine for the night, I went back to my own room and laid around, texted my boyfriend, listened to music through headphones, and pretty much just existed.
Everyone here says that shrooms are supposed to make you feel more open, lots of love and such, deep thoughts and revelations. Visuals and the like at higher doses.
I just felt kind of drunk? Physically very jittery and fussy, although it's better if I lay still. I feel like a weird mixture of drunk and high (like cannabis) that's hard to describe. But no deep thoughts or boosted concentration or vivid colors or anything of the sort.
I'm honestly just tired and kind of restless in my bed at 1 AM now. Not really sure if I did something wrong or if this is just how shrooms normally are or what. But yeah. Not what I expected at all.
