Thank you. Definitely hear that on the western medicine model. Hoping I'm not medicine resistant but a lot of my friends are. Honestly, not looking for a miracle. Just some friggin wiggle room.
I found some success with psilocybin. For about six months, life seemed manageable again.
I've heard raving reviews with some of my friends on mushrooms. I am currently on lexapro. The initial dosage wasn't doing shit for me but this new adjustment seems to perhaps be lifting the curtain. If all else fails I'll give mushrooms a try.
I never went raving on shrooms, but I certainly danced on them to way better music since!
Lol I uhh... when I was a teenager I was taking them a lot. One fine night I was admiring the full moon from a park by my house and then it popped into my head that the full beautiful bright moon might also be a meteor coming in for the kill. Worst trip ever, lol. I haven't done a full dose since. That being said, I did micro dose on a chill countryside trip to Colombia and that was ok.
Set and setting. You're going to have a completely different trip based on your mindset and physical location. I tripped a few times in college, but that was just for fun and a minor ingredient for my drug use at the time. Therapeutic use is quite different, and I reorganized my whole apartment ahead of my first trip to make sure nothing around me could make it go bad.
