Uncomfortable trip aftermath

3 days ago I took 1.1g of mushrooms of unknown variant. I always take around 1g, so I was expecting the usual brighter colors and stronger feelings etc. It was the first 2 hours, but then it took a turn.

Suddenly I got colorful visuals and I struggled to stay in this world. I know it's bad to resist the trip, but I was walking outside with my girlfriend, so couldn't really sink into goblin mode there. I felt really disoriented and the main thing that was going on was that I kept forgetting what was going on. Like every, maybe 2-5 minutes I began wondering that did I do the mushrooms today. Like a dementia simulator. I was able to explain all this while tripping, so I was still able to recognise that it's just the mushrooms doing their thing.

The whole experience was really uncomfortable. I didn't freak out or anything, so I wasn't even sure during the trip that I was having a bad trip. Mainly it was just uncomfortable.

I still felt a little bit foggy brained the the next day, Something similar to a hangover brain fog, I felt anxious, and I feel like my memory is still not back to normal. I do tend to do this hyper scanning for any weirdness after my trips, since I have this anxiety that sometime I'll fuck up my brain with the mushrooms.

Its been 3 days now, and I still feel a bit foggy brained, a bit anxious, and the memory still don't feel like it bounced back 100%.

My question here is, is it normal to still feel a bit off 3 days after a surprisingly heavy trip? It was the most intensive trip ever for me, since before, like I said, I've only experienced brighter colors, heightened interest on things, stronger feelings etc.

Thanks for reading.
