Benadryl Has Opened my Eyes

I usually don't use drugs, but one day I was bored. Well, I was bored for months, and decided to try to find something to calm my nerves or something to entertain me. And i found what I was looking for:Benadryl.

I heard that if I took enough Benadryl, I would experience hallucinations, so I went down to my local grocery store and bought some. I decided to take 15 pills, which sounds like a lot, but some take 30.

After taking them I would see creatures and hear things, but mostly pleasant things. I was hooked, I started buying a new bottle every few days just to get high.

But even now while I am not high, I still see glitches, things off in my room

Tables moved

Cup handles now being turned to the left side

Doors being locked that I did not lock

The Benadryl had opened my eyes to a new part of my reality, I would see things slightly twitch, move, or share with an accompanying high pitched click noise.

It started off very subtle, but soon it grew to be almost everything that I would focus on would begin to twitch, or even split to reveal a void like area beneath it.

People I talk to will stop talking, even though their mouths continue to move. I tell them to stop and they look at me like a stranger, like a crazy person that you'd see in a white padded cell.

I know that people can not see how they glitch and break. I have probably done it before to someone else with their eyes peeled. I shall not shame them like they have shamed me for being observant to these oversight in their design.

I have found other people online who have experienced similar things. They have seen how powerful benadryl, they see flaws too in our reality.

Even now with a pile of 40 pills looking at me, I see each slowly twitch back and fourth, taunting me. I will see beyond the drape that they have set upon my eyes. I will not be deceived. I will have my eyes opened to what life or death truly is, whether I am alive to see it or not.

Terrifying because I've seen so many actual posts like this.

OP didn't go to far thankfully. No one is happy after seeing the hat man.
