Scientists are learning more about how psychedelic mushrooms may alter the brain, potentially leading to long-lasting reversals of depression, anxiety, cluster headaches and more.
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.)
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.
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.
Sorry to hear about your mom, I wish you both the best!
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.

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
