    I don’t mean to invalidate your experience at all but I don’t think that’s what people commonly think of when referring to “ego death”. In my experience it’s shorter and fades with the trip. Experiences that long sounds like it triggerered something. Are you familiar with depersonalization and rerealization? I’ve experienced something similar to those, unrelated to a trip, that lasted a few months.

    I’m really sorry you had to navigate that. I’ve had (mostly) positive experiences with psychedelics but this is a good reminder to not recommend them freely.

      Yeah ok those explain it a bit better.

      I completely became detached from myself. Even in a wild dream where you may look different etc you’re still you, what I did to myself I was not only not me at some points I wasn’t even a person or an animal… was mould and ink and a single atom… shit sounds crazy stupid typing it now but it was very real when it was happening

        Doesn’t sound stupid to me at all. I’ve definetely looked over some edges (metaphorically) before
