certified "have you tried working on your inner self" moment.
Explanation: sometimes, mental health problems don't only come from internal misfits, but simply from enormous pressure from the environment. (such as in my case.) it's important to take care of externalities, not just seek the problem within yourself.
For anyone who's struggling, I just want you to know that I basically permanently cured my depression, the semi-powerful mushroom trip. During the trip essentially took a side step left in my brain that didn't fix my problems but fixed the way that I perceived them and how I tackle them. It has since been about 4 years since that trip and the effect s on my attitude and personality have been long lasting. I will say as a word of caution that my attachment to traditional capitalism and some other more normal things in life has definitely waned but I still make my payments and stuff without incident but I just care less. This shit should not be illegal especially compared to alcohol and cigarettes.
I don't wanna
You can't make meOh damn shots fired 😂😳
Yeah, inner work was my intention last time I tripped, but instead I ended up vegging out and getting annoyed at my trip mates. It was a waste of time and materials.
I don't know if there will be a next time to try to do better.
Shrooms? I love em! Lemon Tek, let's go!
But for Mental health it's pseudo healing. Maybe it helps for a few weeks, but issues are issues, shrooms help to isolate them but not to solve them. Get therapy.
Edit: I mean it. Issues have roots, some multiples. Shrooms help to isolate/understand these connections but it's not a magic "helping" potion. Shrooms can e.g. help with depression but if you don't change the circumstances, the issues shift/come back. (E.g. developing psychosomatic pain instead of depression). So, yes shrooms help... but only temporary if you don't pull the right learnings from it (which could be done on your own... but is srsly much much harder)
I can't be certain of that until I try it
Someone shroom my lazy ass up
Goes hand-in-hand
It is always suspicious when someone who claims doing shrooms/experienced something first hand is when they fully understood empathy for someone else.
Ok so like you had understood all that deeper nuance and meaning that would require months if not years of cognitive self work to identify struggle and develop respect and compassion for those around you and you mean to say the ONLY thing holding you back was observation?
Like you couldn’t even take the half step to imagine it even for a second on your own?
It’s like when someone claims their behaviour and emotions are just ‘out of control’ leading to acting abusive to their loved ones but then knows how to put on a face when company comes over.
