Anecdotal, but it seriously saved me from my old habits of thought, helped me learn to meditate and feel present, showed me what it’s like to be okay for a little while.
It got the gun out of my mouth, so I’d say it works pretty well.
I’m so glad to see it getting more research
I will admit my experimentation was less than scientific. But the results were successful.
I usually do shrooms at least once or twice a year, whenever I feel like I'm stuck in a shitty thought pattern and can't seem to get out of it. Although I did some like 2 weeks ago after over 2 years of not doing any because I was scared I was going to have a difficult experience. (Surprise, I did and I've never suffered so much in my life before. Still worth it.)
It's super weird how for at least a week after, no matter what kind of experience I get, my thought process is so much more... flexible I guess? Really don't know how to describe it but it is such a blessing.
I haven't done shrooms in almost two years for those same reasons despite really missing the experience. This is making me think I need to take the plunge and use it as an opportunity for introspection, however tough that may be.
Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I don't know for sure could handle it, but even though my last experience was the worst moment of my life, I still wouldn't say I regretted doing it. I cried so much my eyes were swollen for over 24 hours but by the time it was over I was already asking myself when the next time was going to be.
I summed up my experience in this comment not long after, in case you'd like to have an idea of how it went lol
Thanks for sharing! I've only had one truly bad trip but it was quite similar to what you describe in your comment. It turned out to be overall very positive for me (long story short: I came out as non-binary) but it truly is a terrifying experience, especially in the moment when it feels like it's lasting forever.
Sorry to hear about your mom, I wish you both the best!
Hey well congrats on coming out! Sometimes an experience like that is just what you need to give you that push to make a change.
Also yeah, the fact that the concept of time basically flies out the window and that someone could easily start thinking they're gonna be stuck in there forever is really terrifying. I don't know how I would've handled the situation if I wasn't an experienced "psychonaut" because without that voice in the back of my head reminding me that I had been there before, that I was safe and that it would all be over eventually, things might've gone very differently.
Thank you! I think we're gonna be just fine! If I've learned anything about my experience it's that this is all part of life and I need to stop worrying about what's coming and to try to appreciate where we're at.
Micro dose?
Increases brain plasticity so it makes sense to change how flexible your thought processes are.
Apparently a bad trip is better for depression etc than a good one, and my first bad trip I agree was the worst experience, but it actually helped me shift perspective and feel there really was a ‘worse’.
Yuuup.
