Hey druggit, took acid for the first and probably last time the other day.

Hey guys. So yesterday I took acid for the first time. During the trip I was just totally perplexed with the idea of what tripping is. Fractals everywhere and things were moving. When I first realized I was tripping it was like a whole new world. I noticed I kept having to tell myself "this is a drug, it will wear off in a matter of hours". I also kept checking the time. So basically, I think I had a bad trip. My problem is, today, I'm totally freaked out. I feel like my innocence has been taken away from me or something, and things aren't as "sincere". I keep having almost waves of anxiety or something, followed by rationalizing the fact that I took a new substance yesterday and this is normal. Druggit, is this normal? Please share your experiences with bad trips and how you dealt with them. I really just need to talk to someone about this. Thank you guys much love
Edit: I also feel like I'm not feeling emotions to their full extent. I can accept the fact that this is because of a drug I took, but will I go back to feeling like my happy self within a few days?

I can't either, which is really frustrating because I JUST read this like last week. My mom knows of a couple websites with different brain scans; when I get the chance I'll ask her and link it here.

Perhaps you are thinking of LSD. It has dopaminergic effects to go along with the 5-HT effects. That would increase activity in certain regions of the brain. However, it does not lead to the mind opening effects we are focusing on. As far as I know, psilocybin/psilocin will not lead to increased brain activity.
