It's been 2 weeks since my bufo ceremony, and everything is worse.
I did not receieve even a fraction of the experience everyone else seems to have had. I was so overstimulated I didn't sleep for 5 days until I finally caved and took sleeping pills. My rumination has increased, I'm even more unable to make decisions, my bitterness and desire to isolate has tripled.
I normally love journaling but haven't been able to from overwhelm. I am surrounded by plenty of woods, but walking in them just makes me feel a deep despair. It's been two weeks and old grudges are resurfacing daily. I just want to let all of them go and move the fuck on but my body is determined to choke me out with every single slight it has ever perceived. Everyone I try and talk to about it just ends up pissing me off more somehow.
Why didn't I get even a fraction of the relief and knowing everyone else seems to get? Why am I so broken that even this sacred medicine made me worse?
And I'm not unfamiliar with psychedelics, I've done plenty of mushrooms over the last few years and been able to integrate profound and long lasting changes to my life.
Did anyone else have massively delayed shifts or insights? This is so distressing to have paid so much for a little kickstart but feel even more broken rather than empowered.
