I had an anxiety attack that brought forth an LSD flashback... only much much worse. My logic and rationale has become completely rearranged. I have discovered weird philosophies on life and I feel like my brain is falling apart, like I am nothing. I feel like we are all nothing but something at the same time. I mean I was afraid of so many things. Its like when Im under this flashback, suddenly I see things completely different. Reality is still reality, but it feels all so wrong. As if we are all blind from the truth. Its really deep and Im really screwed up. Sometimes I just sit still and watch my mind drift from me and anything anyone says or does has no meaning to me at all. Its wacko. I really feel insane. My brain is already fried from drugs so I dont want to have a psychiatrist give me drugs because it may have an undesired effect,example I cant drink coffee because it makes me crazy litterally. So who do you think would be better regarding this,a psychologist or psychiatrist?

I think you just need to calm down a bit.
Who doesn't take drugs these days? Especially when its for recreational purposes. Everyone is on something and if they aren't at least drinking coffee or smoking ciggarettes, at some point in their life they would of / will!
My suggestion to you is to start writing some of those theories down next time you are having one of your 'crazy' episodes. These theories may actually have some substance to them.
Your energy, (ie: thoughts, actions, feelings) need to be directed towards something and I think writing is a really good way to vent!
Good luck and don't worry, everything will fall into place!

It gets better with time. I promise. The anixety attacks/flashbacks will happen less and less. Unless you have had WAY too much. Which is a lot. Get a hold of yourself and reality. A psychiatrist could help, but you're right, they'll give you drugs. They seem to make people more freaked out. Just stay away from anything mind altering or anything as simple as cough medicine. Get enough sleep. Try to eat healthy and excerise. And try to use your mind by reading or studing something. Try not to think too much. Remember everything is ok.

I'm not sure you need help at all...
"I feel like we are all nothing but something at the same time." - that sounds like Enlightenment, the ultimate goal of the followers of the majority of the world's religions. You should consider yourself lucky, and read some books by Alan Watts or Ram Dass or the Dalai Lama or something.
"I was afraid of so many things" - so are most people.
"As if we are all blind from the truth" - once again, most people are. We wouldn't have things like war or global warming or government surveillance otherwise. You're living in a really f'd up world right now, it's like the book 1984 but it's real.
Don't go get a prescription to antipsychotics, just stop worrying about things and do something positive with your life. Realize that you're probably smarter and more insightful than the 99% of humans who have spent thousands of years killing each other and polluting our planet.

Heat such as steam, cooking, hot showers can instigate a flashback. Try to avoid heat, especially on your face.
A psychologist will help you with counselling etc but does not have the authority to prescribe drugs. A psychiatrist does.
You should also get in touch with your nearest drug and alcohol unit (find out through hospitals etc) for more information and to arrange a session with somebody who understands what you are going through.
Good luck, there are many people that care about your well being.

Write down your thoughts and feelings as you have them, or just share them with someone you trust, and you will eventually find that your anxiety subsides, and your outlook grows more positive again. Just DON'T take any more drugs- and especially stay away from extacy and cocaine!

get help with a proffesional who specializes in post - drug (addiction?)treatment. There has to be people like you who are suffering from flashbacks. Go to a professional and get help!

Please, for everyone else's sake, see a psychiatrist. You need help.
