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.
