about 3 months ago, me and my boyfriend tripped acid at our apartment. this was not our first experience with acid. it was my 7th time tripping and he had done it many other times. everything was going great and we were enjoying ourselves and laughing about everything. things went bad when we decided to watch a timothy leary video we had found a few days before. during the video about 15 minutes in, it started talking about eyes. and it flashed pictures of eyes on the screen over and over again for a good 2 minutes or so. thats when my boyfriend decided to turn off the video because it was making him feel weird and as soon as he did i went into the most terrifying experience of my life. eyes started popping out of everything and everywhere and i couldn't stop thinking about them. this lasted the whole trip.
i continued to smoke weed for a while even after the trip even though it would cause flashbacks and i would be able to see things on a certain pattern that looked like eyes. I finally have kicked smoking weed even though my boyfriend still does. but still every morning i wake up and eyes are the first thing on my mind. I can function normally and i can get my mind off of it and i am able to think about other things but it's always in the back of my mind.
I've been seeing a therapist since about a week after the bad trip and i do believe it helped a lot in the beginning but i'm afraid that I'll never be able to get over what happened and be able to just not think about it.
I know it's not even a big deal if occasionally i spot out something that looks like an eye. it's just my imagination and i shouldn't let it bring me down. but i can't help knowing that it's because of my bad trip.
I'm not crazy. i have a ton of friends and most of them know what's going on. I just want to know that one day maybe in the future that i'll come to terms with what happened and move on. I don't care if i'm never able to smoke weed again. I just want this to be over with.
Any advice?
