    I feel like this is played out advice, but, if you don’t have a family history of schizophrenia or personal history of psychosis…shrooms are nice.

      Damn. I’ve literally been thinking of doing shrooms but a sibling had an episode (BPD). I don’t want anything like that to happen to me.

      goodness, the few days after a psychadelic trip feel so refreshing. Temporarily free of executive dysfunction, temporarily free of anxiety, temporarily just purely happy with a positive outlook ahhh, wish it lasted longer :(

      so far no psychiatrist prescribed drug even compared to that feeling for me, well mostly because all those anti-anxiety meds either didn’t work or turned my anxiety into panic attacks lol

      put down the phone when you get the message and all that, but dang is it a good way to break out of the usual struggle once in a while

        Yeah, the anxiety and paranoia thing weakened for me a year ago after I took shrooms for the first time. The strength of the social anxiety and paranoia hasn’t come back, permanently weakened I feel.
