Ate shrooms

[brighteyesfan144]

Well I've been really depressed for about 6 months, and I decided yesterday I wanted to have a spiritual experience on magic mushrooms. I ate around 3.5g and it went really well. I think if you are going to do them therapeutically, you should have a bit of experience with psychedelics first or and have the intention to do it as a therapeutic experience. I ran a bath with candles, listened to music and talked to myself in the mirror. It made me smile and feel love for the first time in a long time, and helped me to love myself again.

It matters what shrooms you do because different strains have different effects, but Uncut Penis Envy mushrooms are very introspective. They helped me to make peace with so many things that have been bothering me and piling up inside me. They taught me that committing suicide would be a ridiculously sad ending to my story and that I still had life to live. I just feel really greatful that I was able to do this and have a good experience, and that I live in a city where I can obtain them easily (Toronto), and have a place that I can do them in a controlled setting. The experience won't be the same for everyone.

I did them on mostly an empty stomach except for a peanut butter sandwhich. Ate a lot of different vitamins while I was on them (Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Inno Supplements, Magnesium), drank kratom tea by making 2-3g of kratom in a coffee maker with about 2-3 cups of water, and was smoking a vape. The bath and candles around 90 mins after eating helped make the peak start really nice. Having an open outlook on spirituality or the spiritual nature of things is important.

In short, I don't think I want to ctb anymore and have been struggling with the idea for a long time, so this is like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders. How long it will last, I don't know, but I think shrooms are a better medication than SSRIs or antipsychotics and I will use them if life or my mind ever gets as dark as they did again.

I also did shrooms in 2022 or 2023. (I scavenged for "Liberty caps" because I was afraid of ordering on the dark web).

First time I felt happiness in years (but also a lot of sadness). Interesting experience. Haven't done it since. Also didn't really have a good way to dose - I think I ate about 30 of them based on some random recommendation).

Shrooms made me feel a lot of love too, it was a very alien feeling to actually love myself lol.

They're extremely emotional and therapeutic from my 2 experiences, more so than LSD. Which is what I think could make them more dangerous if not used with caution. The emotional weight could easily trigger a dysphoric trip.

How long it will last, I don't know

From my experience the mood afterglow doesn't last. The positive cognitive effects probably won't last if you do nothing practical to "integrate" the experience afterwards. It's good to use a one time trip as a wake-up shot and then do the work to not fall back asleep.

Yes, exactly. I read it's because you get a temporary reset on the brain to start forming new neural pathways, but if you go back to forming all the same habits as before, the neural pathways will stay the same. I'm gonna try but I mostly just slept all day today lol

This is the feeling I get, like I suddenly unlock extreme brain plasticity for a few days. It's also very anti-addictive. I couldn't stomach fatty, sugary and carby foods during the trip even if I forced myself to, and the few days post-trip my cravings for junk food were alleviated. Conversely food like fruit tastes literally divine.

I was knocked out after my shroom trip too dw, they literally emotionally overloaded me to sleep. LSD is the complete opposite tho, it's pretty much a quasi-stimulant.
