Is it normal that i am depressed after trying shrooms once?

SO, I tried shrooms for my first time, months ago. (2-3 months odd ago?)and I don't think I had a bad trip, but it was a very difficult one. I was alone and well something happened. I got all the answers to my life which would normally take a lifetime to figure out, & I remember the answers and the general feelings that came with them. Ever since that day though, I have been more depressed and I often find myself bored with nothing meaningful to do. Sometimes I cry for no apparent reason, but just because there is this inevitably sad feeling which pulls my heart to the ground.

I never had this type of random depression before, I have tried my fair share of drugs too. Although I should mention that I couldnt even speak english yet alone remember my name when tripping. Tripping balls.

I should also mention that the time I was tripping was actually the most depressed low I have ever gotten myself into. But as I said, laying on the bed for hours thinking about life and the world and what being human was, it was a difficult experience, not a bad trip cause I do not perceive it that way.

Any advice? Is this normal? will it go away?

    MUSHROOMS aren't a chemical fyi, get your facts straight. Cause if you misunderstand that, who knows what else you have misunderstood.

    If you want the real facts and true accounted experiences about drugs, go to:

    www.erowid.org

    Hopefully that would be some interest to you.

    Don't hate on me cause I love drugs, hate on me cause I see the world entirely different compared to you, and just respect that.

      But there are chemicals IN mushrooms, or else you would not get high. If I thought mushrooms literally were a chemical, I would have to be even less intelligent than you.

      And I already have all the facts from a little thing called EMPIRICAL DATA. Medical research is the reason many people are alive and healthy today. This is the closest thing to trustworthy one can have, not drug users who know nothing except how cool it is to watch the walls melt with Donald duck and Mario.

      I don't hate you, I just think you and all drug users are mentally inferior human beings, and rapidly becoming more so because of your habits. Have fun destroying yourself.

    it's normal in the sense that it's normal to be depressed after crossing the road one day last month. Theres no causation link between shrooms and your depression, youve just become depressed. If it doesn't go away, talk to your GP.

    NEVER EVER do it alone in your room. you need to be in the forest with a good friend also on shrooms, tripping the fuck out and not focusing on anything but the dancing unicorns around you. i dont fucking know. dont let you answer your own life questions. stay curious my friend.

    I agree with snake, its the most beautiful feeling ive ever had.
    mushrooms are natural, and should be enjoyed in nature.
    Is it mushroom season yet?

    Shrooms are notorious for bringing up underlying issues for people, so be careful in any further use. I know a girl who had a serious psychotic break and had to leave school for a while after taking shrooms. When in doubt, smoke some weed.

    Thanks for your comments guys, and i welcome any more because it might help others out there who have felt the same way before too.

    I got out of this depression funk one night after taking xtc. xtc always seems to lift my depressions permanently. Thankyou amphetamines. you rock.

    Yea its normal everyone has a different reaction on shrooms. was this summer in Amsterdam and ate shrooms there aswell for the first time. the first day i felt like i was nailed to the bed and the room was rotating aswell as my clothes running out the window... the second day the room was darker and everything was not as fun anymore i kept seeing a grim reaper and i was sad the intire time... so in the end i think the envirement that you are in when you use the shroom count aswell.

    But in the end i hungerd for a joint soooo badly on both days...

    man sounds like u have an underlying problem of depression/anxiety/whatever and some drugs will bring that out, shrooms are powerful perception and mood altering
    i've gotten myself into similar situation, eventually it'll go away

    Chemicals do not reveal the meaning of life. What you are experiencing is probably some kind of brain damage. Remember, the general consensus among the medical community across the entire developed world is (surprise surprise): DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOU!!! It truly is as simple as that.

      I know this comment was posted over a year ago, but I still feel the need to comment on its ridiculousness. The "medical community across the entire developed world" has absolutely NOT come to the consensus that all drugs are bad for you. You're thinking of conservative groups that know very little about soft drugs but use scare tactics to prevent kids from using them because of their illegal status. All you have to do is type the words "mushrooms" and "depression" into your search engine and you'll find an incredible number of studies concluding that magic mushrooms have great potential to alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, not to mention increase the creativity and openness of light users for up to a year. Don't do drugs based on any of the comments here, but please do a little research before you start posting about "empirical facts".

    Wait a minute....... You took shrooms, IN YOUR BEDROOM? THAT'S WHY YOUR SO DEPRESSED! if your going to do psycadellics you need to be OUTSIDE! i suggest going to a park or a forest. Yes when your in your room by yourself you will discover the origins of your reality, but you will probably get bored, lonely and Depressed. In a forest, you will learn a lot, but you will be getting fresh air, sunshine (or rain), and you will feel free. Trust me its the best feeling in the world.
