hyperfocus,
Absolutely. Yes. You described it. I am writing and not thinking this absolutely through, but....
Imo, it will pass, like all experience, but bad scares can leave marks (yea, okay, so I do have ptsd).
Have you been in this space before? Similar? (I don't know your history. SI = self-injury or suicidal ideation?)
Do you have a therapist? I wonder what the best approach would be. I feel talking about it with someone, not necessarily a therapist, but why not? Or someone who can handle it.
Like a bad trip, I feel psychic experiences are real in that they are experiences. However, like I tell my son about dreams, they are dreams. Context. Give yourself
and get someone to validate the context. You had a hyper-real, dysphoric psychic thought of significant duration. Drug induced.Now, to counter that takes calm muster.
You are not crashing and burning. You are not that pilot. You are here. You have enormous value that you might underestimate. You have been kind to me in the past, and it made a difference.
I've got to go now, but will check back later.
Big time hugs. You're o.k.
