I'm pretty new to psychs, I've tripped on acid a couple of times recently and both went smoothly (50ug and 150ug). The second time I tripped on LSD I was alone for the first 2-3 hours and was fine, my friend joined me later on and we both had a great time.
Today I tried 2c-b for the first time and I knew I was going to be alone for the whole trip. I decided to do 25mg of it, which I snorted and regretted about 2 minutes after when my nose felt like it had been punched by a boxer. I was enjoying some of the visuals kicking in despite my half my face feeling numb and was finding my body felt extremely strange sat on the bed, I felt very heavy overall. I started watching a Youtube video talking about 2c-b, the way it was described in the video was so accurate about how strange it felt I vocalised "that's so true" and laughed. After laughing I suddenly felt self-conscious about how I sounded and the fact I was talking to myself so I said "it's all good, you're just high as fuck right now, try to chill." or something similar.
Instead of making me feel at ease, the fact I had just talked to myself more made me start to panic a bit and my mind started racing into very negative thoughts quickly, like the possibility psychosis was kicking in. I tried talking myself down again by moving to a different room, telling myself I knew the trip was going to last roughly 3 hours and I may as well try and enjoy it while it was happening. Although I was thinking around the right kind of lines, I still wasn't managing to calm myself down. I popped open a Xanax blister and was tempted to try and abort the trip right there but I decided to try and pull through it without chemical help. At this point I opened the Trip Sit IRC room and luckily there was a chill dude in there which helped ground me and over the next 20-30 minutes I calmed down to the point where I enjoyed the trip (thanks bro, you know who you are). While I was freaking out earlier, after calming down I started to enjoy the visuals a bit, although they don't look at cool as LSD's on this 25mg dose. The rest of the trip was spent conversing with my new trip buddy while listening to HOME, very chill relaxing music whilst enjoying the visuals more compared to the early onset.
I'm willing to give this substance another try, possibly with a trip-sitter next time and definitely bombing it instead of snorting.
tl;dr - snorted 25mg of 2c-b, freaked out after talking to myself, Trip Sit IRC saved my ass, very weird drug.
Question though, do you guys ever talk to yourself/out loud while tripping solo? I don't really do it sober which is why I think it weirded me out so much today. Would you consider it 'normal' or a bit unusual? Thanks for reading.
