I don’t take valium, but that’s really good to know. It’s making me wonder what acid it makes as our stomach acid is pretty powerful stuff and our mucous lining in our stomach is the only reason our stomach doesn’t melt.
I’ve actually been eating a lot more after my last trip. got myself stuck in a low grade LSD trip for a bit it works out as I tend to eat a lot on acid. I get really thirsty and before I know it I’ve inhaled an entire 2 liter in one breath. I actually had a significantly huge identity change recently and the acid helped me to accept it finally without denial. I’ve actually been significantly less depressed and anxiety seems to have lowered as well.
I’ve been keeping shelf stable snacks on hand always also as it helps keep my appetite from dropping. I finally got work done on my laziness and that’s also helping significantly as well.
Hungry on acid?? Whoa. I always found eating so alien and weird when tripping. I remember eating salad once and I could feel the cells exploding water in my mouth.
I’m not always hungry on acid, but when I am I eat like an MC in anime.
Though I’ve started to build a habit of eating on acid. Seems to actually make the trip better LoL
Taking a piss on acid is different than you’d expect too. I kept having to tell myself I’m not in bed and no I didn’t just wet the bed
I used to not be able to even swallow on acid. Now I start every trip with a big glass of water once things start kicking in. High dose trips almost feel like a poisoning response though I’ve found. Same with shrooms. Just heavy cold sweats and body aches from lactic acid. It stopped doing that this trip once I ate. As I’m typing this I only just gathered that it’s the hunger response amplified to an extreme
Lol ya I remember that cold sweat feeling…I never got it on shrooms. On acid I always felt like a skeleton or something and just wanted to walk endlessly for hours. Afterwards you feel like you’ve been through a war or something haha
It sounds like your body is constantly hungry and the acid brought that to the forefront more?
You are correct. Usually if I lose my appetite it’s because I stopped eating and ignored my hunger response for extended times. Occasionally it’s just because I ran out if food and have to get more. Others I’m just waking up and groggy fkr a few hours. It’s why snacks are near my bed now as I don’t notice my hunger response usually first thing in the morning until I have a cigarette. I miss my vape fucking massachusetts and the 75% extra tax rate following a panic ban.
Edited for censorship of politics once I read how it was directed at one person directly.
It’s confusing I’m sure, but I seem to also feel my body response in reverse once in awhile. when I’m hungry I feel full and when I’m full I occasionally feel like I haven’t eaten.
You better believe I wish I knew why I don’t feel my insides correctly. I finally got my insurance back, so I’m working on getting checked out again. My new doctors actually seem to have a passion for their job and me smoking weed didn’t change how they took care of me at all. They actually thanked me for telling them as it makes knowing doses in case I have to be prescribed something less difficult to work out. I asked him about blood tests and he said yes. I knew it as that’s the only way to be sure when meds are involved that you’re not going to poison them with the prescription. The meds I took growing up were a part of those groups of meds. I’m used to it even years later after stopping it seems.
It’s so strange. Sounds like you’ve at least got a competent team on you side now, hopefully they can finally figure it out. In the meantime keep eatin!
I’ve been told this my whole life. I respond with my daily food and water needs to not get skinnier and it usually helps drive things home why they don’t want it and they tell me I can keep it
So this shit is still going on. I’ve spent the last couple months reading medical textbooks on the thyroid and other subjects, and whatever else I can find on PubMed, online etc.
My hair has now started falling out in patches, which sucks but at least its visual confirmation that there’s something going on and I’m not just crazy lol. I also regularly gain or lose 4-8 pounds in a day regardless of what I eat.
I’ve got an endo appointment early January. I have very little faith that it will be helpful but who knows. If she can’t do anything for me I’ve purchased some lugols iodine solution. I’ll take a moderate dose which will likely send me into thyroid storm and a trip to the hospital, assuming it doesn’t kill me of course. Yay free healthcare!
I too have been struggling with weight loss, nausea, gut pain. Lost over 50 pounds this year night sweats chills always cold. Don’t have a desire to eat. Had every test cameras in every orifice. Doctor says IBS but it’s been going on all year. I eat like a fucking rabbit and I still get fucked up. I know a lot is compounded by the stress of my job and I turned 51 last month. I just remember my gpa telling me not to eat so late because my stomach would get fucked up…
I’ve tried everything…I’m sure you can relate but I told my doctor I’d kiss a frogs dick if it would go away. No script for frog dick I guess.
Anyways man I know it’s a daily struggle that most don’t understand but you’ll figure it out.
I’ve felt like I was just wasting away…then I realized that stressing about it made it worst so I try and keep moving. The garden has helped with that.
I also found a shitty SD/LK strain that helps a bunch. Wasn’t going to grow it again but it’s been helping so I’ll continue.
Have you had your thyroid checked? Any history of thyroid problems in your family? Ask your doctor for serum and urine iodine tests it can be informative.
Sadly I’ve been taking care for almost 2 years now. Crazy diet, daily exercise, meditation, yoga. I’ve read a million therapy books and saw a CBT therapist for a while. I’ve finally realized this is all futile and I’m not going to out think my way out of this as I always have in life.
I used to get really upset and stressed but I just don’t care anymore, I just don’t want to suffer anymore.
Also although I mentioned thyroid and iodine DO NOT just blindly start supplementing it, it can very dangerous to people with underlying issues
I got hypothyroidism they got me on a pill.
My hairloss is hereditary thou.
My problem is weight loss, thyroid controls about everything and its second only to your pituitary gland which controls everything.
From moods to physical well being.
I actually have and it came back normal. I know EXACTLY the feeling you’re having. I felt many times like this would never go away. Developed a lot of my daily routine on my own to get right so I can go to work. 3 hours some mornings just to get right.
But today as in Sunday I feel like I want to live and you will get there too. Trust me one good day is worth all the work. Don’t give up…you’ll figure it out.
For me Mondays and especially Tuesdays are bad maybe cuz it’s a hot shock of stress but working on that too. Find that forcing myself to eat constantly throughout the day helps. Keeping something in my stomach.
