I'm honestly surprised you never had a truly bad trip. You wouldn't be still messing around with it if you had one, it's not gatekeeping, it's true as the earth is round. I was doing LSD often when I was younger. All it took was one truly bad trip. At this point I would likely shoot myself if I found out I was dosed. It left me with PTSD and other issues I had to deal with for many years after. I feel like you aren't respecting the drug. It's awesome, but I've learned that LSD does have a serious element of danger in that one cannot have complete control over where the trip is going to go. If you have learned about all you can about yourself from the drug, I would say stop taking it. At this point you are flirting with some serious mental health problems. There are doors that, once open, cannot be closed. There is knowledge, that once known, cannot be unknown. The relative strength of your character isn't going to make you immune to a bad trip.

(EDIT: I wonder if you are a true sociopath or something similar. That's not meant as an insult, but to do LSD that often and in so many uncomfortable settings... and never have a bad trip that swears you off the drug... One wonders)

I (a guy) did this when I was super depressed, but I had long hair down passed my nipples. The idea of washing my hair in a shower made me feel even worse. I maybe did 6 months.

the problem for me was dandruff. And itchiness. It was awful. It was so bad that when I recovered, the first thing I did was buzz my hair off and began showering every day with a dandruff shampoo.

I'd be careful going no shampoo. Dandruff and itchiness, which just spreads those nasty flakes on everything making you look like you're homeless and or one of those hoarder types.

My hair did smell bad as well. But it wasn't like people were clamoring to get close to me.

Many many years later, I still keep my hair buzzed short and and have never been happier not having to do shit to maintain it but wash it with some head and shoulders quickly at the end of a shower.

I recently moved from a carpeted place to a place with bare floors. I liked carpet. My stereo sounded better, my place wasn't as dusty. Bare floors get so dusty. Yes carpet traps dirt and stuff, but it traps it and I can use a nice upright to clean it once a week. Bare floors get so dusty. We have to wet swiffer twice a week and I still have to vacuum the corners and around by the walls and shit. It's not as comfortable when it is cold. If I drop my phone off the bedside table it might break.

Maybe you have ADHD like myself and have trouble working through the problems, remembering the formulas, and keeping enough focus and working memory to get through it and not get frustrated? I don't really have an answer to that. Medication can help, but introduce other issues like dependency, loss of appetite, and anxiety. It's just going to be harder some people because we are all wired differently.

Exactly. Lots of people do LSD many times and have unpleasant experiences sometimes, but those aren't bad trips.
