My weird experience with the bicycle molecule / Ramblings of a former criminal
____________________________________
Intro:
Im grown now, but I started experimenting with it at 15.
No matter how shitty life was, it made me feel as though reality had melted away completely. At first I would repeat to myself “I really feel like a child once again”. This was a feeling I didn’t get to have much of my actual childhood. I was absolutely amazed by how uplifting it was. I was in an emotional state I couldn’t feel while sober.

How it changed me:
I was overweight, looking in the mirror off of 5 tabs. My rolls of fat getting wider and wider until they deflated, making me look melted. I got so obsessed with losing weight that I did cardio to the point where it was genuinely bad for me. Some days I would wake up so depleted that I would be unable to move my legs for the first several hours while awake. I would set a timer on my phone for 3 hours, jump rope, ride my bike, hard sprint, if I so much as stopped moving for a second I would pause the timer to maximize those 3 hours. I was hypnotized.
I became more thoughtful, less cold, unfortunately I felt as though my personality had changed entirely. A better person sure, not the evil piece of garbage as before, but not the real me.
I had a trip where once again, I was staring at a mirror with no shirt. A giant pentagram started rising out of my chest, made out of my own flesh, almost dripping like my skin was made out of thick crude oil. I became obsessed. I chased this high over and over. It eventually warped my sense of reality completely until I quit taking acid.

Where I am now:
I have not done LSD since I was 17. Now in my 20s. In good shape with a healthier mindset. Reasonable. No longer a violent criminal.
I find I am a much better person, coming from a terrible childhood where every adult tried to convince me I was garbage destined for prison or an early grave. Constantly put down, beat, or sexually abused. Now that all that is behind me I feel like I am finally able to live with it. The trips felt therapeutic in ways I never got from the many therapists I’ve been to in my youth.
I am actually able to make connections with people, friends, amazing women, even animals. I was not able to do this before LSD. I was absolutely psychotic BEFORE LSD. I am able to calm myself down, think rationally, and even empathize with those who are aggressive towards me or deeply dislike me.
Im glad I took it. I am getting married soon to a wonderful woman and I sometimes wonder how things would have been if I never got ahold of this interesting molecule.

Sorry for the TMI, I felt like this was important context. Someone in a bad spot in life SHOULD NOT take psychs. Im very lucky I didn’t fry my mind completely. That was my experience and what I feel I lost/gained.
What was your experience with LSD? Were you just having fun? Did you gain anything from the experience?
